Abstract
French Abstract: Les agissements malveillants de certains agents de police déployés sur le terrain par les autorités gabonaises dans le but de faire respecter le confinement total de Libreville peuvent favoriser la propagation du COVID-19. C’est le résultat d’une modélisation des interactions sociales entre un agent de police corrompu affecté à un check-point, des automobilistes et leurs passagers. En effet, suite à la corruption policière, 5 personnes sont susceptibles d’être contaminées le premier jour et un total de 573 personnes à la fin de la période du confinement.
English Abstract: The malicious actions of certain police officers deployed on the ground by the Gabonese authorities with the aim of enforcing the total containment of Libreville may encourage the propagation of COVID-19. It is the result of modeling social interactions between a corrupt police officer assigned to a checkpoint, motorists and their passengers. In fact, following police corruption, 5 people are likely to be infected on the first day and a total of 573 people at the end of the containment period.
