The Gabonese army announced a coup d'état after annulling the election results
The Gabonese soldiers who appeared on the national television of Gabon 24 announced the seizure of power from the current government and annulled the results of the election declared Ali Bongo Ondimba as the winner.
Before the announcement of the army, reports said that gunshots were heard for several hours in parts of Libreville, the capital of the country, although it is not certain whether it was an exchange of fire or just the army firing from the air.
One of at least 12 soldiers who gave a speech live on television this Wednesday morning, announced the dissolution of all government departments including the legislatures and the constitutional court.
According to Sojan, whose name has not been disclosed, they are not satisfied with the way the presidential election was conducted, and they will put an end to the problems the country is facing.
Gabon has been in turmoil since the end of the presidential election, which led to the shutdown of the Internet and the imposition of a curfew, which the opposition called an attempt to rig the country.
The situation worsened after the National Electoral Commission announced President Ali Bongo Ondimba as the winner of the presidential election despite the fact that the opposition claimed to have the majority of votes.
