- Gabon Coup: Anti-Corruption Raids or Settling Scores? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Duffel bags full of cash were seized from ousted president Ali Bongo's son. Bongo Junior says the cash was all campaign funds. Are the raids a sign of things to come in Gabon?
The political opposition says it's an eyewash. And that another Bongo is pulling the military's strings. Palki Sharma brings you the report.

❤ I love you ❤!!!!
Watching from Bahamas.
❤ keep doing what your doing
I love that Host, I've been looking for her even from WION
Clean up the country
The world is truly becoming one, now that Western centrism is waning. As a Brazilian I find it truly amazing an Indian channel covering unfolding events in Africa, free of bias...
Yep!! Very the world is becoming one big village.
Indians have paid highest price resources in the form of wealth and resources which made rich and powerful the biggest they subdued Indian civilization taught indians corruption
not free of bias tho 😂 and that is facts.
Heard news of the murders of Indian Christians by Hindus? Why nothing reported?
No bias, I doubt. But it's a good first step
Bongo's father (the late former president who ruled for 42 years) had 54 children. They are all adults with their own families. Now the Bongo clan is numerous enough to populate the entire civil service and parliament of Gabon. So, basically, it's Bongos everywhere you look. That country is doomed. One greedy family sitting on all the wealth. How did this happen for so long? FRANCE.
It’s possible because they basically seized every political, judicial and economic structure of the country
Thts Africa !

No, that's western democracy in Africa.
Installing puppets
@Kite-te9km I 'm born in Africa and will die in Africa...all government are greedy careless about citizens and their welfare...are busy looting being in the position and thus don't want to lose the status
@@Kite-te9kmalways blaming the west blame the people who cause this look at Japan and south Korea Singapore they are aligned with the west but they are rich country blame dose Gabon people for being to much corrupt idiot
Funny Western media does not mention this.Been hearing all week about the Bongo billions and I thought it was fake news.
What's done in the dark will always come to light.
Its refreshing that Indian media covers the affairs in Africa
Been in India and this is refreshing indeed
Yes, but they need to invite Africans to talk about Africa. These indian channels, like this one, do to mistakes/lies/errors... about our countries.
@@saninkontron925 do your channels in your country invite indians to talk about yours? Or do they invite Chinese to talk about China 🤣
@@cosleynyagitari4998 I'm from Mali. Our channels don't really talk about what is happening in India: racist cast system, racist bollywood movies with light skin in the front drah skin in the back, Bengalore, Indian great success in tech, Indian politics, !Indian fake moon landing just all others fake moon landings from china, merica...
I just suggest to this lady to talk to Africans, since she loves so much talk about Africa. But Many times she has says lies, maybe unintenationally. In order to ovoid that, just invite some people from Gabon (or whatever country you want to talk about, and talk to them. That's better.
Take care.
Why because they have their house in order? Watching her snooty arrogant attitude trying desperately to mimic the White news castersturned my stomach.
I'm a Cameroonian freelance reporter based in Cape Town and just love the indepth reporting of FirstPost. My home country Cameroon shares a border with Gabon and our 90-year-old president is the longest-serving leader in the world and with the current trend of events, it is obvious that Cameroon's military will take over once the guy dies in power
Biya is not the longest serving president in the world. Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea has been president since 1979.
@@dilivii9439 yeah. Biya is rather the oldest in terms of his age
@@dilivii9439Time for him to go...
@ngalahansel6066 • It is long overdue, Paul Biya should go next 03082023
Why wait. Why would you let a 90 year old in power since 1975 continue in power?
That is why elections in Africa can NEVER be free and fair....may everything done SECRETLY be exposed IJN...AMEN
There are 55 countries in Africa and in some of them elections are free and fair.Please do not generalise when talking about Africa.
Where ??
Is it free n fair
Amen
You mean whole world not just in Africa.
@@Mlanjanaif it's a black African country than the election is rigged in favor of the West puppets.
Bongo also has dual citizenship, French and Gabon, so it's a great racket for stealing money.
Co'mon people, it's time to rid Africa of this fake country called Gabongo. Wakanda forever!
Africa is on the rise and I love it. 🌍❤😍
thank you , you only channel who I believe is reliable and deliver news with out any propaganda attached to it , I love you.
They're biased
@@lavenderflowers1075no they are not.
One Bongo for another. Way to go! Typical Africa. Those bags of cash could probably have built several schools or some roads.
or Hospitals
No wonder something about this coup seem different unlike the other coups
Because this one is approved by the west since the general is also a puppet of the west.
The control of gabon is still in the hands of bongo family.
stupid
Yup, no wonder they are arrested
It’s sad to watch this. These corrupt politicians amass such a huge wealth, while their populace live in poverty. All evils have endings. I wish the people of Gabon a better future.
Why is 🎉❤ Ms. Palki so charming and joyfully lovely tonight? 🎉 Thank you,❤ Ms. Palki, for always staying elegantly beautiful. God bless you, your family, Firstpost, Vantage, and all the beautiful people of India. God bless India! God bless us all. 🎉❤🥰🙏🙏🙏
Young Bongo 😂😂😂😂 Palki you’re the best 🙌
Too funny😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Palki Sharma, you are spot on with the analysis.
However, if the new head of the junta wants to prove that he's nobody's puppet, let him also give Big Sister Pascaline the Ali Bongo treatment, unless if of course, she's his Mami.
If you know, you know.
This pure politics you mean to tell me its only BONGO family dynasty. Remember that at the beginning uncle too the country from French, Sylvia Bongo, Omar Bongo then Ally Bongo you can imagine the guy coming in Bryce top military is nephew. So I think its a trick cause Ali is sick way of passing the torch to Bryce we will see 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love her wittiness and sharp reactions. Does she have twitter?
I would like to know more about Ossa. The fact that he served in Bongo's cabinet does not build confidence. He may be opposed to the Bongo family in all its forms, but the few things I know about him are compatible with him being a tool of Franco/US policy. Let's see who nationalizes Gabon's minerals for the people. Let's see who kicks out the French companies, or the French and American military occupation. I'm skeptical whether Ossa is such a man.
This channel is free from US and west narrative 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Gabon 🇬🇦 is still in the hands in the Bongo family controlled by France 🇫🇷. That's why the new military Gabon leader has not condemn France at all.
I'm a Gabonese and I don't agree with your point. You should watch what is happening now in Gabon. The people didn't want Ondo Ossa to be president. We wanted Ali Bongo to leave the power. That's all. We got what we wanted. Most people didn't know Ondo Ossa a month ago.
At least, Firstpost is covering the news free from bias
Thank you for the extra information, I can't wait for their demise if this is a continuation of the puppet games that has being going on. Ultimately if there is another fakery in place whomever is behind the play will get "served" and discarded.
Exactly! The puppets were installed to serve the interests of their puppeteers, not their people.
Very dangerous plot for the people of Gabon.
As an audience member, I have immense respect and appreciation for the Petunia Seed rescue team's dedication and hard work. Their efforts hold a greater meaning and significance, making me feel proud and grateful.
What is wrong in Africa and elections. Is sad
As a US Citizen it’s no better here. We have a former president who is still causing havoc because he denies the results. The “beacons” of so called democracy are just as grimy they just ensure it’s not shown on the news.
I guess Mr. Bongo is dancing to the tune of his own drums. 🤣
😢😢I'm very just because my Africa is opening eyes now 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Now you understand why this was important to kick these fools out of office.
This is what calls democracy. A family preserved by France for decades
Phantastic. Incredible!!And a large part of the population suffers without food, housing or work.
I am happy that atleast indian media is covering news of whole world not just asia or west which is kinda norm. We must be informed of news of whole world as it is.
Yes Mrs Palkyi shama is unique Journlist, she has heart that beats with truth and humanity. I love her, I m tibetan born in India , living in Europe, Mrs palki sharma is my favorite lots of respect to her and team and india is my home , I have never seen my father land . Thank you covering every comers of the world
Thank you for the very informative video.
I knew Legend Palki would bring this out!❤❤❤
I hate to say it but it might just be the military replace one dictator for another one. I just hope whoever is in charge just does better for the people and not themselves.
It's not a real coup. Le General is his cousin, and he was profiting too.
They're playing us. Ali knew he was on the losing side. Usually, the army was supposed to be neutral and give the power to the Ondo
Eyes on Cameroon!! Let tge people speak!!!!!😮😮😮😮😢😢😢
Excellent journalism
I can't find the right words to describe how impressive and cool the Lavender Seed rescue team's work is. I'm truly amazed and thankful for their dedicated efforts in this era.
No forever , this family have in power for many decades. Thank u coup leaders
The leaders of the coup and their cronies will do no less. This is a feud between family and relatives. These countries need strong democratic institutions, greater transparency in public administration and the military must stay out of politics. It cannot be that everytime there is a political crisis the military cease state power.
Hello dear tvreporters
Thank you so much for your interesting Breaking News,i do appreciate your job,i wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity, all the best. Take care and have a good time.
Your Follower from Algeria
It Would be SOOOOO AWEEEESSSSSOOOOMMMEE if This Happened in the USA 😁😁😁😁😁
My experience is: never celebrate an army take over of Government. Please don't.
I am Zimbabwean in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
In Gabon, you should. You have no idea of the hell we were living with Bongo.
In some countries it should be celebrated
Observe, no eye contact, says it all.
Please The country is very good now with the army OOO, the new man is working the heat of the nation not the same family matter , opposition man the job has been done God has visiting this people accept it please 🙏🙏🙏 God will bless you we love you
It's a total distraction like u said. The bongos continues in power.
Thank you very much palki
They just exercised their own form of their electoral college.
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Africa is very funny,he is having a bank in his house.interesting
😂😅
Africa is the continent
@@coin9007 I know that 100% we only see that if Gabon 🇬🇦 is across the board
Thank you for covering this. I lovw your channel...I'm from the US and your news far exceeds ours. Good job !
All of them need to be prosecuted!! Criminals!! Shame on Ali Bongo and family!!
🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😏😏. So the Bongo continue. What is wrong with these African leaders😡😡😡.
Next destination... Paul Pillard Biya's clique north of Gabon aka LRC.
Clean the house off corrupted politicians!
News from First post is the best
It is just family matters nothing big. Ali bongo seems to have done his part by pretending to have over turned by close friends
Corruption after corruption n more corruption...
It is in the blood of leaders all over the world..👈🤭
SO...WHAT IS NEW....?👈🤔
Great reporting as always!
Bags of cash. Find any barrels of oil in the garage.
Yes that is Africa Ghana, some politicians are so greedy, bad and so wicked, and that’s why the Military is helping now, freedom fighters, well done, fire and more fire. Evangelist Seer N America hallelujah Amen
Watching the Lavender Seed rescue team in action brings joy and hope. I have immense respect and appreciation for their passion and dedication in this critical era.
"are you a good banker?" Wtf!
He's simply a black thief. 😂😂
Why are the French government not spewing threats against this very coup? Could they be behind this coup to protect their interests in oil rich Gabon?
First post on Firstpost.
Anyone who is mistreating our ppl should go by any means necessary
I was there counting all this money myself. It's actually equivalent to $100,000 USD. It wasn't really much.
then bongo boy sure did sell out his people for very little gains, a cheap bastard he is.
It’s more than 100 million euros 💶 so it’s a lot.
Watching from Burkina Faso. Carry on!
when palki is good she is very good...
A coup, is a coup is a coup. So, that is why we have to ask why France is using the sledge hammer in Niger while using kid gloves in Gabon. Something fishy is definitely afoot somewhere. The question is: Where and why?
The only thing that India does right is this channel 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😂
You don't know india then.
@@Nehas949 India is a racist nation!
Indians attacked and killed my friend in India , he was a student.
The entire bongo family should be brought before the international criminal courts and a financial forensic investigations be carried out on their imcome and financial gains. They should never be allowed to get away with money they have amasted. Never in a just and desent world. They actions are tantamount to treason against the innocent people of Gabon. Please God, deal harshly with this wickedness.
I would say take the money and help build up Gabon and feed the poor don't give back the money to the bongo and seize all Bongo family properties and assets in Gabon...
The Zinnia Seed rescue team's work is a perfect example of leadership and courage. As a member of society, I am thankful for their dedicated efforts, beyond words to describe.
Africa:They need good government from God's way, God's manual. Not politics with corrupt politicians. When one godly man says yes to God for his ppl. God will raise him up, to be a deliverer for each state.🙏
Either way it’s good.Let good elections b held n remove all this bongos family out of Gabon politics completely
Ms Palki offering corrupt politicians smarter ways to siphon cash. Lol!
Good analysis gravitas
God bless you for the great news
Same as the former Philippine president marcos senior,,brought cartons of dollar cash upon fleeing to hawaii
Interesting title Palki "A bongo replacing a Bongo"
Everone in Gabon should be soooo rich like Dubai
Rich doesn’t matter !!! They are all so HIGH Smoking Bango 🤯 ; it’s the Family Trade .
Palki Sharma .........why you left WION channel?
I always miss your voice when ever I watch WION or GRAVITAS news channel.
Both anti-corruption and settling scores…why not
Confusion in Africa continues till thou Kingdom comes
Perhaps you'd ask your Western d.evils to get their hands off Africa, as Africa never had confusion until the West came into Africa.
If it's true that the coup was as a result of rigging...then if indeed they wish well for the country, I think they should handover power to his opponent because he was cheated and they confirm it with the coup!!!
Oooh AFRICA 💪
Whatever happens, the people of Gabon will continue to suffer while corruption and lies continue.
This is what is democracy in africa, govt of money
Yep. Distractions. She did it!
Vive le gabon!!!❤❤❤
The Lavender Seed rescue team's hard work and devotion inspire me. As an enthusiastic audience member, I look forward to their updates and the positive impact they make.
This is shameful corrupt,theft from the citizens lock him up.
LET'S WAIT AN SEE ❤✊🏿😤✊🏿
What a waste of time why they cant put someone who is capable to run that country not the bongos
All wicked Africa leaders must be flushed out.
Is it normal for one to hold billions in his house as if it were the Central Bank? Bashir of Sudan had similar cash scenario. Robbery? Money laundering?
Money laundering. Most, if not all, of the African politicians have a habit of looting State funds.
It's none of your business, you love to see Africa divided and poor. We will sort it our way
They still have millions over seas they have 70 banks worlwide
Boom!
