“Mandela was not the only head of state taken in by Koagne. Le king kept snapshots of himself with many a man of power, among them Mobutu Sese Seko and Denis Sassou Nguesso […] He took Mobutu for 15 million dollars. Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso lost 40 million to him. Sassou, Etienne Eyadéma of Togo, several high officials of Gabon, Tanzania and Kenya, a member of the Spanish government and an ex-operative of the Israeli Mossad were bamboozled as well.” – Dominique Malaquais (Blood Money: A Douala Chronicle).

La Republique Des Singes – Jean-François Kouadio (Botsotso, 2017)
Comprenons-nous réellement le contenu principiel du contrat social? Comment combattre effacement la corruption. Pourquoi assistons-nous continuellement à la dilution des repères normatifs, à la montée du tribalisme et de la xénophobie? Comment contenir et éradiquer les pandémies? Comment faire reculer la pauvreté? Comment endiguer la montée de l'incivisme du fanatisme religieux, de l'insécurité etc.
Cet ouvrage ne vise aucun autre objectif que de pointer du doigt certains reflexes nuisibles don't l'Africain doit site se débarrasser s'il réve réellement d'une meilleure Afrique.
