Another Coup In Africa As Gabon President Is Ousted

The Gabonese military has announced a coup in Gabon, deposing President Ali Bongo, who was declared winner of Saturday’s election.

Eko Hot Blog reports that the BBC quoted soldiers to have appeared on Gabonese national television in Gabon to say they had taken power.

The coupists also announced the annulment of Saturday’s election.

The development comes amid the move to resolve the removal of a democratically elected president in Niger Republic.

Bongo, who came to power after his father died in 2009, won a third term in an election that the opposition argued was heavily disputed.

This is a developing story.
