Video: Gabonese Residents Joyfully Receive Representatives of Military Junta

The military of Gabon, located on the African continent, is taking control of all government offices. Earlier, they announced the dissolution of the power institutions and the annulment of the results of the nationwide elections, according to France Presse.

The military has declared that the country's borders will be closed until further notice. Meanwhile, Gabon's residents are warmly welcoming the representatives of the military junta. Following the coup, thousands of residents have taken to the streets, and videos circulating on social media demonstrate a festive atmosphere.

It is worth noting that Gabon, like Niger, is one of France's key allies in Africa. The two countries have had bilateral agreements since 2010. Gabon hosts a French military base and has significant uranium reserves.
