In some strokes of the wings, our heroes landed on the ground of Africa.

Our optimist travellers were persuaded that they would find there, on this ground close to nature, a true humanity, naturally good, far from perversions of alleged civilizations.

Fortunate Bigboss taught them the last projections from science on the african origins of Hominids and even of Homo sapiens sapiens.

Candide: " Without going up with the biblical fable of the garden of Eden, did one highlight, at our ancestors, this fraternal fibre, the love of their fellow beings ? "

Fortunate Bigboss: " Certainly, but it is singular. It is proven that Homo sapiens, then Neandertalians and finally our close relations ancestors, took delight in tasting the brain of their congeneric ".

Pangloss: " It is the sign which they appreciated their fellow men! ".

Martin: " It is the least which one can say ".

Candide: " Let us see what it is today ".

Fortunate Bigboss had taken them along in the capital of a state of the african west which it had attended much at the time of its last career.

" Here, explained to them it, the country abounds in mining and oil richnesses. It is one of the richest countries of the world ".

Martin: " It is paradoxical. The inhabitants seem to us so poor, so stripped of all. They circulate on asses, old light carts and swinging cars ".

Fortunate Bigboss: " I did not say that the inhabitants were rich but their country ".

Candide: " I understand not well the difference ".

Fortunate Bigboss: " It is however quite simple. This country acquired its independence there are a few tens of years. And one founded here, as in the majority of the countries of Africa, the african democracy ".

Pangloss: " It is perfect the democracy! And why african? "

Fortunate Bigboss: " The african democracy is different from the western democracy founded on the vote for all and the equal opportunity for all. Here, at the beginning, all poors have the same chance. The african democracy is based primarily on bribes and the equal opportunity for all. The african society thus functions with two engines: bribes and the putsch. Each individual is likely to reach the power by using these atouts.One time he has the power, he acts, in all legitimacy, as good seems to him. The poors remain poor and thus do not lose anything in the business ".

Our travellers were surprised by this strange african design of the democracy. They sauntered in a peaceful avenue of the capital where the ancestral craft industry was neighbourly with the shops of portable telephones and the cybercafes.

Suddenly, of the gusts of machine-guns crackled. Armoured vehicles blocked the avenue. Crowd dispersed like a flight of sparrows. Our four travellers, encircled by soldiers strongly armed, were led, without care, in the buildings of the police where one them imprisoned.

During three days, the african democracy functioned with full mode. After the phase of bribes liberally distributed, a newcomer had taken its chance and brillamment made a success of its coup d'etat. It is well-known that a putsch which succeeds transforms into coup d'etat. It was the 179 ninth in 52 years. The african democracy could be prided to function admirably. The collateral damage was in the standard : 87 eliminations, 132 rebels executed, all the small family (that 47 individuals, men-women-children) of the late president departed. An irreproachable operation.

The new power was set up. The ex-corporal assumed, with modesty, only four functions: President of the Republic, Prime Minister, Minister for Finance and Treasury and Minister for the Police, the Armies and the Security anti-coup d'etat.

The President of the Republic, Prime Minister, Minister for Finance and Treasury, Minister for the Police, the Armies and the Security anti-coup d'etat, installed, as it is of habit, all his close family (97 people) with the control sticks to the new power. He opened numbered bank accounts in the majority of the tax havens and immediately started to irrigate them by aspiring all the richnesses of the country, richnesses which he had obtained hard and deserved. Applying to the letter the real politik, all the states of planet recognized without delay the new president and his family government.

In the fire of the action, the new democracy had almost forgotten our travellers who stagnated at the bottom of a cell of the crammed prison of the capital.

At the end of a few days, Fortunate Bigboss, with the always effective address book, succeeds, by means of a handle of dollars, to contact a high person in charge of an american oil company which operated in the country. It was a play of child, one day and a few thousands of dollars later, to make release the 4 prisoners.

The last ambitions having been satisfied, the country was become again very calm. The poors were remained poor, not more. But each one had its chance again. In the shade, a new generation of plotters prepared quietly the next putsch.

Our four heroes decided to leave this peaceful african democracy where the order ruled in the best of the possible worlds. They moved towards another famous african democracy for the wisdom of its inhabitants and their peaceful mood.
