Gloria Mika & Lord Ekomy Ndong "Les Anges Du Gabon" [Short Film in French]

I mentioned a couple times on the blog that my home country Gabon was at a critical stage of its Political and Democratic advancement since the death of the only President I only knew all my life (He's been in power for over 40 years), El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba.

In a few days, the Presidential campaign will start and there are already 23 candidates including his son and many other former government members. Some of them are already hitting the trails overseas to court some votes with the younger generation, mostly college students like me.

To make sure we don't fall in the same status-quo the country has experienced many times in previous elections International model Gloria Mika teamed up with local Hip Hop artist Lord Ekomy Ndong to start an initiative "Les Anges Gardiens Du Gabon" that will make sure the Presidential Elections are conducted in complete accountability and transparency. Also they encourage everybody to register then to vote on Election Day.

The short film was produced by Internet Sans Frontiers, a Non Governmental Organization pushing for more media access during the electoral process.

So I urge my fellow Gabonese citizens to join the movement and make their voice heard August 30th.

P.S: I'm thinking about editing the video and add some English subtitles for those of you who care about what is said in the video but French ain't their cup of tea.
