Former Gabonese Leader Removed Due to Coup Requests International Support
The former leader of Gabon, who was ousted and detained due to a coup, is seeking assistance from his French "friends." Ali Bongo Ondimba, the deposed head of Gabon, recorded a video message in which he requests international support. He states that he is being held at his residence and does not know the whereabouts of his wife and children.
It is worth noting that presidential elections were held in Gabon, in which the ruling leader emerged victorious. This development has not been well received by the military, which has executed a coup in the country. The military in Gabon has announced the annulment of the results of the national elections and the dissolution of the institutions of power. Meanwhile, the citizens of the country welcomed the Republican Guard with enthusiasm in the streets following the coup.
