	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - EIA Country Analysis: Gabon
		Gabon's current account balance worsened significantly in 2001 due to a combination of slightly lower world oil prices, weaker forestry exports, and a high increase in imports.
		Gabon is still recovering from an economic crisis in 1999, which prompted the national government to take steps to increase the country's economic growth by diversifying the structure of its exports, restructuring and reducing its civil service, and privatising several parastatal industries.
		In March 1997, Gabon announced that a 20-year concession to run the state-owned electricity and water utility, the Societe d'Electricite et d'Eaux du Gabon (SEEG), was awarded to the French firm VIVENDI (formerly known as Compagnie Generale des Eaux).

	afrol News - Gabon elections foreseen for December
		The President of Gabon's National Autonomous Electoral Commission (CENAP), René Aboghe Ella, this week announced that preparations for the country's upcoming parliamentary polls soon would be needed to be made.
		The ruling party dominated composition and decisions of CENAP have been among the main reasons of protest by Gabon's weakened opposition, claiming that none of the elections that have maintained President Bongo's 39-year hold on power have been neither free nor fair.
		At Gabon's last legislative elections, in 2001, an almost united opposition decided to boycott the polls, alleging widespread rigging and unfair practices favouring President Bongo's ruling Gabonese Democratic Party (PDG).

	Congo - A Bridge Too Far
		Its claim to fame is a large Manganese mine that employs most of the town's population, and of course justifies its rail link to Libreville and the ports of Gabon.
		The station is on the other side of a hill and connected to the town by a dirt road, so I whiled away my time in a shared taxi en route to the centre and eventually the waiting spot for buses heading south.
		Yet sitting around a smoldering fire in the deep jungle that separates Gabon and Congo, I was reminded why I continue to travel to Africa - friends aren't hard to find, the heavy red sunsets ignite the soul, the smell of charcoal and thick foliage in the air creates an irreplaceable atmosphere.
