My Way News - 'Gabon weeps' for strongman despite lost riches
AP reports: "When longtime dictator Omar Bongo died last week, he left behind at least 66 bank accounts. The first family owned 45 homes in France, including at least 14 in Paris and 11 on the French Riviera. And they boasted of 19 or more luxury cars, including a Bugatti sports model that cost the Republic of Gabon $1.5 million."

Comment: I think the word for this is kleptocracy, a ruling class that loots the treasury and lets the people suffer. When will Africans wake up and reject their dictators?
