Brice Lacruche Alihanga

Brice Lacruche Alihanga is a former Gabonese politician and director of cabinet who gained prominence during his tenure in the presidential office starting in 2017. His political career was marked by his advocacy for social change and his attempts to connect with the youth of Gabon. However, he faced significant challenges within a tightly controlled political environment, leading to a dramatic confrontation with President Ali Bongo, after which he resigned. Following his resignation, he was arrested and spent four years in isolation, during which he claimed his detention was illegal and politically motivated. Recently, he made headlines for his reflections on the political landscape of Gabon, including the implications of his famous slogan “Qui boude, bouge” and the dynamics of power following a coup d'état.
