Gabon's military has announced a government takeover, seizing control and broadcasting their coup on Gabon TV, a state-run television channel. This follows a trend of coups in French West African colonies like Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. The military leaders claim that recent elections, which saw Ali Bongo win a third term, were not conducted fairly. Tensions rose after these elections, with concerns about transparency due to the lack of international observers, suspended broadcasts, internet shutdowns, and a nationwide curfew. The coup leaders dissolved various state institutions and formed a "committee of transition and the restoration of institutions." This marks the eighth coup in West and Central Africa since 2020, posing a threat to democracy in the region. Ali Bongo, who has been in power since 2009, faced numerous competitors in the elections. In 2016, violent protests erupted against his disputed re-election, resulting in the burning of the parliament building and an internet shutdown. The situation in Gabon is evolving, and updates will be provided.
