In this episode of Two and a Half Gamers, we run Steam Scanner to look at the latest PC games that are quietly exploding in revenue.Why does this matter for mobile?Because some of the biggest mobile hits originally came from PC trends first. Studios that watch Steam early often get a 12–24 month head start on mechanics that later dominate mobile charts.We break down several surprising titles, including Escape From Duckoff, which generated nearly $70M, and discuss why quirky concepts, niche genres, and experimental mechanics on Steam often become the next big opportunity for mobile studios.If you want to know what mobile games might look like in 1–2 years, Steam is still one of the best places to look.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

The Arizona Wildcats closed the regular season with a program-best 29th win at Colorado. Can the Cats ride the momentum into the NCAA Tournament with a Big 12 Tournament title? We make our predictions for UA's fate in Kansas City. Plus, is Jaden Bradley a deserving Big 12 Player of the Year? And we share our thoughts on an incredible "Bear Down Breakdown" football event in Scottsdale featuring Brent Brennan, Seth Doege and Danny Gonzales.

Rewarded user acquisition and offer walls are suddenly becoming a major part of mobile game UA strategy.In this episode of Two and a Half Gamers, Matej and Felix talk with Max from MAF about how rewarded UA evolved from a questionable growth hack into a legitimate acquisition channel.Studios are now allocating 30–40% of their UA budgets to rewarded channels, and some games are scaling them even more aggressively.The conversation covers ROI timelines, retention dynamics, monetization setups, genre fit, and how rewarded playtime models are changing the economics of offer walls.If you're running UA in 2026, ignoring rewarded UA might be a very expensive mistake.

We talk about how Pixel Flow scaled so quickly, why its core design works for monetization, and how games like Hexa Sort and Magic Sort helped push the sort puzzle genre forward.The discussion also covers UA, the wave of Pixel Flow-style clones appearing in the market, and whether hybrid-casual puzzle design is starting to influence traditional puzzle studios. We also touch on what kinds of mechanics might lead to the next big puzzle hit.

Viele Eltern erleben, dass Kinder Regeln nicht akzeptieren, ein Nein nicht annehmen und Gespräche allein keine Veränderung bringen. In dieser Podcastfolge analysieren wir eine Elternfrage und erklären, warum Reden keine Grenze ersetzt und welche Rolle Entwicklung und Selbstregulation dabei spielen. Solltest du als Elternteil mit Medienverbot drohen und was mache ich, wenn das Kind ständig an die Wand malt? Wir zeigen euch, wie ihr Grenzen ohne Strafen klar und wirksam gestalten könnt. Eine Folge für Eltern, die bindungsorientiert erziehen wollen und nach alltagstauglichen Werkzeugen für klare Führung suchen. **Mehr von inBindung:**

The Mobile Game That Makes Money… But nobody understands why. Well, we kinda do. In this episode of Two and a Half Gamers, we dive into one of the strangest successful mobile games they've seen recently: Cell Survivor.The game looks confusing, the onboarding is painful, and the design feels chaotic. Yet somehow it's making serious money, especially in Asian markets.So the team breaks down what's actually happening under the hood.They discuss the game's unusual progression systems, monetization design, Asian-first market strategy, and how games like this manage to scale despite confusing UX and questionable gameplay clarity.Sometimes mobile gaming success is not about polish.It's about understanding the right audience and scaling the right mechanics.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop--------------------------------------PVX Partners offers non-dilutive funding for game developers.Go to: https://pvxpartners.com/They can help you access the most effective form of growth capital once you have the metrics to back it.- Scale fast- Keep your shares- Drawdown only as needed- Have PvX take downside risk alongside you+ Work with a team entirely made up of ex-gaming operators and investors---------------------------------------For an ever-growing number of game developers, this means that now is the perfect time to invest in monetizing direct-to-consumer at scale.Our sponsor FastSpring:Has delivered D2C at scale for over 20 yearsThey power top mobile publishers around the worldLaunch a new webstore, replace an existing D2C vendor, or add a redundant D2C vendor at fastspring.gg.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Three huge stories this week are reshaping the mobile and tech landscape.First, Epic and Google finally settled their long legal battle, meaning Fortnite is returning to Google Play. Even more importantly, Google is cutting store fees and allowing developers to use alternative payment providers.Second, the AI race just took a strange turn. Claude briefly overtook ChatGPT in US App Store downloads after OpenAI announced a deal with the US Department of Defense.And finally, Netflix walks away from the $82B Warner Bros. Discovery deal, leaving Paramount and Skydance to potentially reshape the future of some of the biggest entertainment IPs.This week shows one thing clearly:the platform economy is shifting.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop-----------------------------------------------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

What if you built a puzzle game in the most crowded genre on earth……and scaled it to 5M downloads per month?In this episode, we sit down with Vlad from Malpa Games and Ritzki from PVX Partners to unpack:Why Malpa focused on production before ideas90%+ ad revenue strategyWhy is ad tolerance in puzzles insanely highHow Cardscapes grew 200% month over monthWhy AppLovin ROAS campaigns are the scaling engineHow UA cohort financing unlocked aggressive growthThe truth about incentivized traffic in ad-heavy gamesWhy retention beats everything in ad monetized scalingThis is not a flashy hybrid casual story.This is disciplined production, AB testing, and pure operational excellence.

The House fails to pass the ROTOR Act, and the competing ALERT Act is introduced. The military is shooting down drones with a laser, combat action in the Middle East is disrupting commercial flights, former President Biden flies commercial, Breeze Airways continues to expand, and United adds a new passenger requirement to its Contract of Carriage. Plus, more feedback on the Lockheed Constellation, and the passion for flying. Aviation News U.S. House rejects aviation safety bill after Pentagon abruptly withdraws support When we talked about the ROTOR Act last week, we explained that the Senate unanimously passed the bill requiring ADS-B In and that a House vote was scheduled. Before the House vote, the Pentagon withdrew its support, saying that the bill could create “unresolved budgetary burdens and operational security risks.” The bill failed to meet the required two-thirds majority: 264 in favor and 133 opposed, with more than 130 Republicans voting against it. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said, “This bill will undermine our national security. Requiring our fighters and bombers and highly classified assets to regularly broadcast their location puts our men and women in uniform at risk.” Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., the chairman of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, called the ROTOR Act an “unworkable government mandate” that would be “burdensome” to some pilots. ALERT Act Aviation Safety Bill Introduced in U.S. House . Graves and Rogers put their support behind their own bipartisan bill, known as the ALERT Act, or Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency Act. It is broader, more process‑driven, and relies more on future FAA rulemaking. The ROTOR Act uses mandates and concentrates on collision‑avoidance and traffic‑awareness, especially mandatory ADS‑B In equipage for aircraft operating near airports, plus related airspace reviews and military‑civil coordination.​ The ALERT Act uses rulemaking to implement essentially all ~50 NTSB recommendations from the DCA midair, including tech, ATC staffing/training, helicopter routes, DCA‑specific procedures, and FAA safety culture reforms. Military Laser Downs CBP Drone, Tiny TFR Established When Federal Agencies Start Shooting at Each Other's Drones, We Have a Real Airspace Problem The Defence Department has a laser weapon that can shoot down drones. Recently, a TFR closed the airspace in El Paso due to a drone downing. Now, Congress has been briefed that along the Mexican border at Fort Hancock, Texas, a Defense Department laser weapon shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone. In response, the FAA issued a TFR for that area. In a statement, three lawmakers said, “Our heads are exploding over the news that DoD reportedly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone using a high-risk counter-unmanned aircraft system.” Also, “We said MONTHS ago that the White House's decision to sidestep a bipartisan, tri-committee bill to appropriately train C-UAS operators and address the lack of coordination between the Pentagon, DHS and the FAA was a short-sighted idea. Now, we're seeing the result of its incompetence.” Hundreds of thousands of travelers stranded by flight disruptions after attack on Iran Military combat in Iran and the surrounding region has forced the diversion and cancellation of flights. Airspace was closed by Israel, Qatar, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The United Arab Emirates announced a “temporary and partial closure” of its airspace. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of travelers were impacted and either stranded or diverted to other airports. Important hub airports in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha were closed. Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Etihad typically move about 90,000 passengers per day through those hubs. Three US Fighter Jets Accidentally Shot Down by Kuwaiti Air Defenses On 1 March 2026, three USAF F‑15E Strike Eagles were shot down over Kuwait by Kuwaiti air-defense systems during combat operations against Iran. U.S. Central Command described it as an apparent friendly‑fire incident; all six crew members ejected and were recovered. Biden flies commercial from DCA and winds up stuck in delays like everyone else Imagine getting settled into your seat on a commuter flight from DCA to Columbia, South Carolina, and realizing that your seatmate is a former President of the United States. Breeze adding new nonstop options from Portland, Maine Breeze Airways is adding new, summer seasonal nonstop flights from the Portland International Jetport to Akron/Canton and Cincinnati. Breeze is also adding new Breeze Thru service options, providing same plane, one-stop flights to Savannah, Georgia, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Breeze Thru service to Savannah starts July 1, 2026, with the service to Myrtle Beach on July 2, 2026. BreezeThru flights include a quick stop at an airport along the way to your destination. Just hang out. There’s no need to change planes or recheck bags. Your reservation will have a single confirmation number for both segments. United Threatens To Kick Off Passengers Who Don't Use Headphones United Airlines has added a new passenger requirement to Rule 21 Refusal of Transport in its Contract of Carriage. Item 22 reads, “Passengers who fail to use headphones while listening to audio or video content.” Under the Contract of Carriage, “UA shall have the right to refuse transport on a permanent or temporary basis or shall have the right to remove from the aircraft at any point, any Passenger…” for the stated reasons. United Airlines Contract of Carriage. Delta Air Lines Contract of Carriage: U.S. American Airlines Conditions of Carriage. Singapore Airshow 2026 Brian Coleman brings us interviews from the Singapore Airshow. In this episode, he and Grant McHerron talk with Nigel Pittaway, the Editor of Australia Defence Magazine. Mentioned How Live ATC Went Live Stories about Flying: Armchair Accident Investigators Veteran airline stowaway strikes again, this time on a Newark-to-Milan flight Aviation Safety Network, Focke-Wulf FWP-149D, N9145.  Hosts this Episode Max Flight, our Main(e) Man Micah, and Rob Mark.

Host Michael Lev is joined by the Star's Arizona men's basketball beat reporter, Bruce Pascoe, to discuss the second-ranked Wildcats' latest accomplishment - winning the Big 12 regular-season championship. How big of an accomplishment is that for the storied UA program? Michael and Bruce also nerd out on some stats. Finally, they look ahead to the regular-season finale at Colorado (trap game???) and next week's Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City. 

It's the 300th episode of Wildcat Country, and the first of (hopefully) many Big 12 championships for Arizona men's basketball. Arizona radio analyst Ryan Hansen joins us to recap Zona's big wins over Kansas and Iowa State, and look ahead to the conference and NCAA Tournaments. Plus, we make our picks for UA's final regular season game at Colorado, and relive our favorite guests and moments from 300 episodes of Wildcat Country.

D2C Trends 2026: Steering is still allowed in the US. No fees (for now). But that window is closing.

Mobile revenue barely grew in 2025. Downloads fell on both app stores. Meanwhile 200,000+ new games launched across iOS and Google Play. The market is saturated and attention is fragmented.The only category that keeps expanding across downloads, revenue and time spent? Strategy. Especially 4X. Deep systems, high LTV, long retention curves. That's where scale still exists.The lesson is simple. You can launch another puzzle game. You can chase trends. Or you can build depth and monetization power. In 2026, monetization design and category selection matter more than ever.---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

Greenberg talks about UA's chance at the Final 4 and the state of college basketball.

In this episode, we break down War Inc: Rise, the new title from the studio behind Art of War: Legions - a game that previously generated over $150M.The gameplay? Solid.The systems? Efficient.The monetization? Confusing.The UA strategy? Questionable.We dive into:Why War Inc feels like Battle Legion + Lucky Defense combinedHow Fastone Games recycled their old IP smartlyWhy ad monetization is almost nonexistent (and why that's crazy)The missed Applovin opportunityCreative strategy mistakes that cap scaleWhether this can become their next big hitThis game should be scaling 2–3x harder. It's not. And the reason is simple.War Inc is actually good. Clean core loop. Smart recycling of IP from Art of War. Efficient production. Even layered modes like Lucky Defense built in.But here's the problem.They barely monetize through ads. They don't push AppLovin. They're still heavy on Facebook and Google. And their creative playbook looks like 2021.The lesson? In 2026, you can't just build a good game. You need the full growth stack aligned.

This week on the show, you're going to ride along with me from the incredibly comfortable and stylish VW ID.Buzz, which served as the mobile podcast studio at CEDIA Expo / CIX this September in Denver, Colorado. Were going back for more conversations from the show. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals, specializing in smart home, automation, audio-visual, networking, and integrated systems. Its mission is to advance the home technology industry through education, certification, advocacy, and networking. Members include integrators, designers, manufacturers, and consultants who shape the connected environments we live and work in. CEDIA Expo is the industry's largest annual event for residential technology professionals. With hundreds of exhibitors, educational sessions, live demos, and global networking opportunities, it's where new ideas and innovations in smart home and AV integration take center stage. The Commercial Integrator Expo (CIX), co-located with CEDIA Expo, focuses on commercial integration technologies—from conferencing and IT infrastructure to building automation and emerging AV solutions—bringing together commercial integrators, IT pros, designers, and tech managers. Jason McGraw | Group VP and Show Director, CEDIA Expo / CIX Scope of the Show: McGraw details the scale of CEDIA Expo 2025, featuring over 350 exhibitors and immersive demo rooms that showcase integrated audio, video, and control systems. Integration Meets Design: Discussion centers on the critical partnership between integrators and the design-build community (interior designers, architects, builders). McGraw emphasizes that technology—ranging from AI and energy management to lighting—must be a foundational element of the design process, not an afterthought. The Business Case: Designers are encouraged to view integrators as essential trade partners, similar to electricians or plumbers, to better service clients and protect home networks. Dale Sandberg | Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance Aesthetic Performance: Sandberg discusses Sonance's philosophy that sound should support the design of a space rather than dominate it. The focus is on blending high-fidelity performance with discreet aesthetics. New Innovations: Highlights include the compact UA Series amplifiers designed to fit behind displays or in tight spaces, and the integration of professional-grade Blaze Audio amplifiers into the Sonance family. Outdoor Living: The conversation covers the growing trend of outdoor entertainment, where amplifiers and speakers are used to create immersive environments in backyards and outdoor kitchens. Jim Garrett | Senior Director of Product Strategy, Harman Luxury Audio Group Hidden Technology: Garrett addresses the challenge of eliminating “wall acne” through invisible speakers and design-integrated solutions that do not compromise acoustic performance. Pandemic Influence: The discussion explores how the pandemic shifted focus toward outdoor living and unconventional entertainment spaces, including garages and multi-generational gaming setups. Brand Portfolio: Insights into the product strategies for Harman's luxury brands—JBL, Revel, Mark Levinson, and JBL Synthesis—and the importance of gathering direct feedback from integrators to drive R&D.

At his first CEDIA Expo, Dale highlights Sonance's latest innovations, from compact UA Series amplifiers designed to disappear behind displays to Blaze Audio's professional-grade amplifiers now integrated into the Sonance family. With a philosophy that sound should enhance the design of a space rather than dominate it, Sonance is shaping how integrators and designers deliver immersive, comfortable experiences both indoors and out. Guest: Dale Sandberg, Product Manager for Electronics, Sonance. Background: from pro audio to Sonance, less than one year with the company. Context: first CEDIA Expo experience, excitement about Sonance's direction. New Product Highlights Loudspeakers High Output Series (professional side). Wedge speaker for outdoor/architectural blending. Re-engineered Power Pipe subwoofers for stronger low-end performance. UA Series Amplifiers Compact two-channel models (UA-125, ARC-enabled versions). Mountable behind TVs, under tables, or in tight spaces. Features T-slots for stacking/mounting other gear. Energy-efficient design with minimal heat output. Blaze Audio Amplifiers Sonance acquisition of Blaze Audio brand (Pascal, Denmark). Range from 60W per channel up to 400W bridged. Full DSP capability, rack-mountable, UL-rated. Outdoor applications via weather-rated cases. Design & Integration Perspective Compact electronics give designers freedom to hide gear while maintaining performance. Balancing performance and aesthetics: sound follows the design, not the other way around. Example: background music at parties that fills space without overwhelming conversation. Outdoor living trend: amplifiers and speakers enabling outdoor kitchens, theaters, and entertainment spaces. Company Ethos & Philosophy Mission: deliver complete audio solutions—amplification, processing, and speakers. Philosophy: the sonic experience should support the aesthetic experience of a home or space. Growth vision: expand residential dominance while building commercial presence. Takeaway: not just about volume—it's about creating the right experience. Jim Garrett | Harman Luxury Audio Jim Garrett on Harman's Audio Innovations, Hidden Tech, and Pandemic-Inspired Entertainment Jim Garrett, Senior Director of Product Strategy and Planning at Harman Luxury Audio Group, shares how the company balances high-performance audio with design aesthetics, explores emerging opportunities in outdoor and unconventional home entertainment, and highlights why integrator feedback is vital to shaping future products. From invisible speakers to immersive home cinema solutions, Jim Garrett takes listeners behind the scenes of Harman's engineering and R&D process, discussing product development for brands like JBL, Revel, Synthesis, and Mark Levinson. He explains how the pandemic inspired new entertainment spaces, how technology can be seamlessly integrated into interiors, and why CEDIA Expo remains an essential hub for innovation, collaboration, and awareness in the custom electronics industry.

Emphasis on simplifying life at home while elevating performance and experience.

Steph Curry's sneaker free agency has him wearing heat from every brand, while Under Armour gets petty by stealing Curry Brand's Instagram followers. We debate where he should sign next (spoiler: maybe nowhere), compare this to Kobe's free agency, and break down why UA's downfall feels inevitable. Is Sunday Red the move? Should he just keep wearing whatever he wants? And why does Under Armour's logo look like a linebacker?SUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallEarly Access, Exclusive Videos, and Content On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistorySubscribe on Substack: https://substack.com/@sneakerhistoryJoin our Discord Community: https://discord.gg/xJFyWmWgzaIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.comCHECK OUT OUR OTHER SHOWS:For the Formula 1 Fans - Exhaust Notes: https://exhaustnotes.fmFor the Fitted Hat Fans - Crown and Stitch: https://crownandstitch.comFor the Cars & Sneakers Fans - Cars & Kicks: https://carsxkicks.comFor the Creators & Creatives - Outside The Box: https://podcasts.apple.com/id/podcast/outside-the-box-convos-with-creators/id1050172106[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

2026-02-21 | UPDATES #137 | A War Foretold — And Still Ignored. Four years ago, Europe woke up to missile trails over Kyiv and the lie many had been telling themselves: “Putin won't do it.” That's not just the public, but also experts, historians, politicians and diplomats. Today, The Guardian publishes a deeply sourced reconstruction of the months before 24 February 2022 — how the CIA and MI6 pieced together the invasion plan, why much of Europe didn't buy it, and why Kyiv didn't want to hear it. (The Guardian) The piece was authored by journalist Shaun Walker. In November 2021, CIA Director William Burns tries to see Putin in person — but gets a phone call instead. Burns tells Putin the US believes Russia is preparing to invade Ukraine; Putin shrugs it off and pivots to his own grievances. Burns comes away convinced war is coming.

Meta's apparent comeback runs headfirst into shifting UA economics, rising creative costs, and new pressure from platforms like Reddit, forcing marketers to rethink what “working” actually means. We unpack whether Meta is truly back or just delivering short-term dopamine, why in-app ads could reshape ad-monetized LTV, and how CPMs, payback windows, and creative volume are redefining the hyper-casual and hybrid playbooks. Cihan and Josh join to break down the latest Appsflyer data, Reddit's Max campaigns, China's UA surge, and Liftoff's IPO and to debate whether AI is leveling the field or quietly squeezing the middle out of mobile marketing.Chapters: 00:00 Welcome to Deconstructor of Funds + UA Monthly kickoff00:17 Meet the guests: Jihan (Scaling.Games) & Josh (Wildcard Games)01:06 Today's agenda: Meta's return, Appsflyer report, Reddit AI ads, Liftoff IPO01:29 Is “Meta back” real?

Le Gabon est toujours privé de réseaux sociaux. Mardi soir, la Haute autorité de communication a décidé de leur suspension « jusqu'à nouvel ordre ». « Atteinte à la cohésion sociale, à la stabilité des institutions de la République et à la sécurité nationale » : ce sont les quelques arguments avancés par la HAC pour justifier sa mesure, qui n'a pas manqué de faire réagir autant dans l'opposition que dans le monde de la presse et celui des milieux économiques. Pour expliquer cette décision prise sans préavis, Théophane Nzame-Nze Biyoghe, porte-parole de la présidence gabonaise, répond à RFI. Il est le Grand Invité Afrique de Sidy Yansané. RFI : On va commencer par cette annonce surprise : la suspension immédiate des réseaux sociaux jusqu'à nouvel ordre. Pouvez-vous préciser ce qui pousse la Haute autorité de la communication (HAC) à prendre une mesure qu'on peut qualifier de radicale ? Théophane Nzame-Nze Biyoghe : Cette mesure s'inscrit dans le prolongement d'une réflexion vieille de plusieurs semaines, voire de plusieurs mois, sur l'usage général qui est fait des réseaux sociaux. Ce n'est pas une sanction, c'est simplement un signal fort qui est envoyé pour poser ce débat et éventuellement envisager d'autres étapes, comme le fait de légiférer pour redéfinir l'usage des réseaux sociaux. Un usage qui ne doit pas compromettre l'œuvre perpétuelle de raffermissement du vivre-ensemble. Malgré tout, les arguments avancés par la HAC sont quand même très larges : on parle de déstabiliser les institutions de la République, de mettre en péril gravement l'unité nationale... Pour cette annonce sans préavis, quels sont les éléments dont dispose la HAC pour dire que le pays serait en danger à cause des seuls réseaux sociaux ? Je me demande si ce n'est pas un peu simplifier les choses que de dire que la HAC affirme que le pays est en danger à cause des réseaux sociaux. Mais en tout cas, les réseaux sociaux sont aujourd'hui un terrain qui permet de structurer un certain nombre de facteurs potentiellement déstabilisants. Lesquels ? Pour ce qui est de la désinformation, il y a parfois beaucoup d'information ou de désinformation. Il est question aujourd'hui de s'intéresser à cette question pour réguler davantage et faire en sorte que les réseaux sociaux permettent un débat beaucoup plus constructif, et non pas un débat qui vise à nuire à l'intérêt supérieur que nous avons à préserver, un minimum de cohésion sociale à notre niveau. Le Sommet de l'Union africaine s'est tenu ce week-end à Addis-Abeba. Le président de la Commission, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf, a déclaré qu'il n'y aura aucune tolérance pour les changements de pouvoir anticonstitutionnels. Que répondez-vous notamment à l'Angolais João Lourenço, président sortant en exercice de l'UA, qui est allé plus loin en déplorant « le blanchiment des coups d'État grâce à des élections » ? Les constitutions sont d'abord faites pour servir l'intérêt des peuples. Les Gabonais n'en pouvaient plus de l'ancien régime, vraiment plus. Le cadre législatif et constitutionnel ne peut pas servir de prétexte à l'amenuisement des libertés des gens. L'intérêt du peuple en tout et pour tout doit primer. Et la situation était intenable au Gabon. Il y a donc eu ce coup « de libération » le 30 août 2023. Il ne s'agit pas de blanchir quoi que ce soit. Il s'agit simplement de dire que lorsque les textes servent à brider les populations, il y a nécessité à employer des voies qui ne sont pas forcément consacrées dans les textes, mais qui sont des voies qui finissent par être salutaires pour les peuples. Le chef de l'État, Brice Oligui Nguema, s'est félicité, il y a quelques jours, du retour des enseignants dans les salles de classe. Malgré tout, la grève perdure depuis deux mois. Où en sont les négociations concernant les revendications des enseignants ? Les négociations ont été menées durant plusieurs semaines dans un cadre qui a été activé très rapidement. Il y a eu une commission tripartite qui a été déployée pour encadrer ces négociations. Les négociations ont débouché sur l'adoption d'un certain nombre de points. Au terme de cela, une échéance a été fixée : celle du 25 février prochain, pour lesquelles l'État devra procéder à la régularisation des 4 000 situations administratives retenues pour le secteur de l'éducation, avec les effets soldes qui sont donc inhérents à cela. Le FMI annonce une visite au Gabon la semaine prochaine, dans un contexte d'explosion de la dette et du déficit au Gabon et aussi dans la zone de la Communauté économique et monétaire de l'Afrique centrale (Cemac). Chez nos collègues de France 24, vous précisiez d'ores et déjà qu'il n'y aura pas de politique d'austérité au Gabon… Il ne s'agit pas pour le FMI de modifier les priorités de notre politique économique, mais il s'agit de définir la meilleure méthodologie pour atteindre les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Donc, le projet est le même. Il est question de mettre à contribution le FMI pour apporter davantage de transparence dans la gestion des deniers publics, renforcer la gouvernance et envisager des lendemains meilleurs, et notamment aussi avoir beaucoup plus de facilité pour aller quérir des financements auprès d'autres bailleurs de fonds, puisque dans la stratégie d'endettement du Gabon, il y a un privilège qui est accordé aux partenaires multilatéraux pour nous prémunir des risques de fluctuations de taux. Mais en aucun cas, il n'y a de projet d'ajustement structurel comme cela a pu être le cas par le passé. Il n'y a pas d'austérité en vue. Pas du tout. La politique sociale du président de la République sera exécutée.

Le 39ᵉ sommet de l'Union africaine (UA) s'est achevé dimanche à Addis-Abeba. Parmi les nombreux dossiers abordés par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement réunis dans la capitale éthiopienne, celui de la Guinée-Bissau, après le coup d'État militaire du général Horta N'Tam le 26 novembre dernier. Patrice Trovoada, ex-Premier ministre de Sao Tomé-et-Principe, a été nommé le 23 janvier dernier envoyé spécial de l'UA pour la Guinée-Bissau. Il confie à RFI avoir prévu de se rendre à Bissau « dans les prochains jours », sans préciser de date. Ce sommet a bien sûr été pour lui l'occasion de mener, déjà, une série de discussions. Avec qui ? Comment juge-t-il le processus de transition en cours à Bissau ? Comment aborde-t-il sa mission ? Quid des doléances de l'opposition, qui estime s'être fait voler la victoire à la présidentielle de novembre dernier ? Patrice Trovoada, envoyé spécial de l'UA pour la Guinée-Bissau, est l'invité Afrique de RFI, au micro de l'envoyé spécial de RFI à Addis-Abeba, David Baché. RFI : Aucune tolérance pour les changements de pouvoir anticonstitutionnels : c'est la volonté affichée par l'Union africaine à l'issue de ce 39ᵉ sommet. Le message semble s'adresser, entre autres, à la Guinée-Bissau ? Patrice Trovoada : Oui, il y a eu cette déclaration du président João Lourenço. L'Union africaine, dans sa charte, refuse tout changement anticonstitutionnel. Cela peut être un coup d'État militaire, cela peut être d'autres tripatouillages de la Constitution pour lesquels l'Union africaine dit non. Le président guinéen Mamadi Doumbouya et le président gabonais Brice Oligui Nguema étaient dans la salle. On se dit que c'est peut-être une déclaration pour l'avenir ? Écoutez, chaque pays est un cas. Si la gouvernance piétine la Constitution, c'est aussi quelque chose que la charte de l'Union africaine réfute. Vous qui êtes envoyé spécial de l'Union africaine pour la Guinée-Bissau, est-ce que ça vous a conforté et encouragé dans votre mission ? La mission est très claire. C'est d'abord d'établir un contact non seulement avec les autorités de transition, mais avec tous les acteurs politiques, les institutions républicaines et la société civile. Il faut déjà créer un climat de confiance, qu'il y ait de la retenue et que les gens soient disposés à dialoguer politiquement pour que cette transition puisse déboucher sur le retour à une vie constitutionnelle normale, un État de droit, et que ça soit crédible et durable. À l'occasion de ce sommet de l'Union africaine, avec qui vous avez eu des rencontres constructives ? J'ai eu plusieurs rencontres. Celle qu'il y a lieu de signaler, c'est avec le président Julius Maada Bio, le président en exercice de la Cédéao. La rencontre a été très positive. Et bien sûr, j'ai eu à travailler avec le président de la Commission et son staff pour que nous puissions aider les Guinéens dans cette épreuve et qu'on ait un retour et une stabilité qui soit durable. Après leur coup d'État en novembre dernier, les militaires au pouvoir à Bissau ont déjà modifié la Constitution et fixé des élections pour décembre prochain. Est-ce que le processus de transition tel qu'il s'engage vous semble crédible ? Les autorités ont pris un certain nombre de décisions. Ce qui est important aujourd'hui, c'est que nous puissions établir un dialogue qui soit inclusif, pas seulement avec les autorités. Il faut un climat de confiance pour que nous puissions effectivement progresser. Ces décisions sont obligées, comme c'est normal, de contestation. Le fait d'avoir fixé une date pour des élections, c'est déjà bien. Maintenant, nous allons voir l'inclusivité et la possibilité parce que les élections, c'est quand même tout un processus. S'il y a un certain nombre de pas qui doivent être remplis avant d'aller vers les urnes, nous verrons avec les uns et les autres comment est-ce qu'on peut rassurer sur ce processus de transition. À écouter aussi«Il n'est pas acceptable que des auteurs de coup d'État soient élus démocratiquement» On entend votre volonté d'accompagner cette transition jusqu'à des élections crédibles, inclusives, y compris avec les partis d'opposition. Mais justement, l'opposition et la société civile souhaiteraient tout simplement qu'on proclame les résultats des élections qui ont déjà été organisées et qui ont déjà un vainqueur... C'est un point de vue qu'il faut prendre en considération. De l'autre côté, vous avez une autorité de transition qu'il faut aussi prendre en considération. Il va donc falloir progresser vers une sortie de crise acceptable par tous. Au-delà des acteurs politiques, est-ce que ça ne serait pas plus juste pour les citoyens bissau-guinéens qui se sont exprimés lors de ces élections de se conformer à leurs résultats ? Je crois qu'il faut être très humble dans ce genre de situation. Il y a une autorité de transition qui détient le pouvoir réel. Nous allons nous rapprocher d'elle et nous allons aussi, comme je vous l'ai dit, inclure dans nos contacts tout le monde. Il faut choisir d'être du côté de la solution crédible et inclusive. L'opposant Domingos Simoes Pereira a été convoqué par la justice militaire la semaine dernière. Cela vous inquiète-t-il ? Sur place, j'aurai l'occasion, du moins je l'espère, d'avoir de plus amples informations sur ce dossier-là. Je demanderai aussi à contacter les autorités judiciaires pour m'enquérir de ce qui se passe à ce niveau-là. L'opposition affirme que l'ex-président Umaro Sissoco Embaló a lui-même préparé l'arrivée des militaires pour empêcher Fernando Dias, qui revendique la victoire à la présidentielle, d'accéder au pouvoir. De son côté, l'ancien président est toujours en exil et demande des garanties de sécurité pour rentrer à Bissau. Aujourd'hui, avec un peu plus de deux mois de recul, était-ce un vrai ou un faux coup d'État ? Vous comprendrez facilement la délicatesse de cette mission. Nous allons travailler avec beaucoup de réalisme et ne lâcherons pas les principes et les convictions et la charte de l'Union africaine. Nous allons essayer d'amener tout ça à bon port.
