(and) transparent elections" after an unspecified period. But Patrick Smith, editor of The Africa Report, says Gabon's civilian politicians are sceptical of Nguema's intentions.

Earlier today, a group of senior army officers made a dramatic announcement on live television, declaring a takeover of power in Gabon. This marks the country's second coup attempt in just five years, the previous one having occurred successfully in 2019, resulting in the subsequent sentencing of the involved soldiers to 15 years in prison in 2021. If this current coup attempt is successful, it will spell the end of the Bongo family dynasty, which has ruled the nation for 53 years.

The soldiers, identifying themselves as members of the "Committee of Transition and Restoration of Institutions" (CTRI), stated that their action is motivated by a desire to uphold peace by ending the existing regime's hold on power. This coup attempt once again places Gabon on the international stage, casting a spotlight on the complex political dynamics and power struggles within the nation.

Adding to the intrigue, the 2023 election's results are central to this unfolding drama. According to the electoral commission, Albert Ondo Ossa, the main challenger to the incumbent, emerged in second place with 30.77% of the total vote. However, Ossa's claims of electoral irregularities have been met with skepticism by Bongo's team, who have firmly rejected these allegations.

The situation raises questions about the stability of political transitions and the mechanisms for addressing grievances within Gabon's political landscape. The coup attempt underscores the ongoing tensions between different factions vying for control and influence within the country. It also shines a spotlight on the delicate balance between democracy and authoritarian tendencies in the broader context of governance.

As the coup attempt unfolds and the political situation in Gabon remains uncertain, the world watches closely, reflecting on the complexities of power, governance, and democratic processes in this African nation.

Gabon Coup D’Etat: Ali Bongo Ousted, As The Military Seize Power | NC Breakfast | 30-08-23

#NewsCentral #AfricaFirst #Africa #News #Politics #Coup #Gabon #Military #Breakfast #centralafrica #Power #government #Govt #Election #Takeover #Bongo #Unrest #Army #Civilian #Democracy #Uprising #Africans #libreville

A group of high-ranking military officers in Gabon appeared on TV on Wednesday to announce the nullification of the country's recent election results, citing a lack of credibility. Gunfire rang out in the center of the capital, Libreville shortly after the central African country's election committee declared early Wednesday morning that 64-year-old President Ali Bongo had won the election with 64.27% of the vote.

All institutions dissolved
"In the name of the Gabonese people ... we have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime," the officers said. The announcement on the Gabon 24 TV channel was made on behalf of a group calling itself the "Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions."

The group on TV included a dozen army colonels, members of the elite Republican Guard, regular soldiers and others. Claiming to represent all of Gabon's security and defense forces, the officers declared the dissolution of "all the institutions of the republic."

They cited "irresponsible, unpredictable governance" leading to a deteriorating social climate as the reason for their intervention, aiming to restore peace by ending the current regime. The group also announced that the "borders are closed until further notice."

Tensions high since election
Tensions have escalated following Saturday's election, where Bongo aimed to continue his family's 55-year rule amid opposition calls for change in the resource-rich but impoverished nation.

Concerns about the vote's transparency grew due to the absence of international observers, suspension of foreign broadcasts, and a nationwide internet blackout and curfew imposed by authorities.

There was no immediate comment from the government. The coup attempt occurred almost a month after mutinous troops in Niger overthrew the democratically elected government.

In 2019, soldiers had declared on the state radiothat they had "formed a national restoration council" to oust President Ali Bongo.

The coup attempt lasted less than a week after military forces stormed the station with eight plotters arrested and two killed. Meanwhile, the European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the EU's defense ministers would discuss the situation in Gabon. A coup in Gabon would only cause more instability in the region, Borrell said.
