Libreville, they added, will respect its commitments “to the national and international community.

“We call for calm and serenity from the public, the communities of sister countries settled in Gabon, and the Gabonese diaspora,” an officer has said on behalf of the committee on national television.

“People of Gabon, we are finally on the road to happiness.”
