2023 Gabonese coup d'état

A coup d'état happened in Gabon on 30 August 2023. It happened because the military did not agree with the results of the general election held on 26 August. Ali Bongo Ondimba was announced to have won the election on 30 August, and the coup happened shortly after.

It is the seventh successful coup to happen in West and Central Africa since 2020. The others happened in Mali (twice), Guinea, Burkina Faso (twice) and Niger.
