3. Historical
The origin of the creation of the tournament of the nine provinces
dates back to 2015. This independent initiative was born thanks to
Yoan Mboussou, Doctor and president of the socio-cultural
association Espoir Gabon, who had this idea after discovering the
"abandoned remains" of the Bantu International Center of
Civilizations (CICIBA), a project that never really came into being
when it was supposed to promote Bantu culture around the world.
There was also, according to the members of the association Gabon,
a desire to revive the festival of cultures Gabon which had
disappeared in recent years.
The first edition of this festival took place during the week of 13 or 20
August 2016 in Libreville, one week before the Gabonese presidential
election of 2016 which was going to plunge the country into a deep
political crisis. There was a desire to strengthen social cohesion,
which was beginning to show signs of tension in the face of the
presidential scrutiny approach.

7. Edition
2016
The 2016 tournament of the nine provinces took place during the
week of 13 to 20 August 2016, in Libreville, Gabon. Open to the public,
its realization within the ruins of the CICIBA was done with the
cooperation of the squatters association of CICIBA. The final of this
first edition saw the participation of two countries: Gabon and Chad.
The President of the jury was none other than the singer of the
traditional group Tandima, Vyckos Ekondo. The socio-cultural group
Mouvissa won the first prize, amounting to 1 000 000 FCFA. The final
groups for this edition were the Akeng Alliance, Bane Batsiane,
Cultural Hope, Milimba, Mivengui, Mouvissa, Mutoka culture, Ogheya
and Lip Darna groups from Chad (excluding competition).
