George Bush[edit]

Why is there a George Bush II image on a page about Gabon?
People visiting here to see images of Gabon are confronted by the partial features of a previous president of a remote country.
His image also resides on pages for Bahrain, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Kenya, Latvia, Mali, Nigeria and Romania.
George Bush Jnr admirers, please place his image on his page only. B. Fairbairn (talk) 13:32, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Education[edit]

I'm a bit confused with the quote, "In 2002 the gross primary enrollment rate was 132 percent," in that how can 132% of the population be enrolled in primary school? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickenzi (talk • contribs) 06:22, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Ethnic groups[edit]

In the infobox, it is stated that 6.7 percent of the population are of French origin. However, in the article, the number seems to be about 10 000 to 20 000 people, which is not nearly 6.7 percent. Where are these statistics in the infobox from? Blåmes (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

I also disagree with the 6.7 percent figure for French Gabonese. I cannot find a single source online which verifies this claim, so I assume that it is factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CCD3:2410:71B5:70D7:5776:A4D7 (talk) 10:14, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Is English really the official language?[edit]

Has English really taken over as the official language of the Gabonese Republic or have they hold off on that policy? sion8 ^{talk page} 22:14, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
