It may be one of sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil producers, but two out of three people in Gabon live below the poverty line. In the capital, Libreville, those at the bottom of the heap try to eke out a livelihood at the Mindoube rubbish dump. None of the major candidates in the country's recent presidential elections ventured there during their campaign -- and its residents aren't expecting much from the new government. Duration: 02:11.

  • en est 2011 bordel de Merde 'je suis Gabonais et honnêtement je me demande si un jour L'afrique se lèvera ...mais plus le temps passe plus j'ai des doutes....j'ai parfois l'impression que les colonnies auraient du rester ....ça me fait chier de le dire mais c'est affreux pour ce petit pays aussi riche de ne pas reussir à gerer notre fortune et que le peuple ait un minimum de dignité (pour vivre)

  • C'est horrible, c'est une HONTE pour un pays aussi riche de laisser son peuple mourir de faim...
