GABONESE MILITARY OFFICERS ANNOUNCE SEIZE OF POWER.(VIDEO/PHOTO).




Gabonese military officers announce seize of power

As one officer read the joint statement, around a dozen others stood silently behind him in military fatigues and berets.

Gabon’s incumbent president, Ali Bongo, won a third term in the presidential election with 64.27% of the vote, the Gabonese election centre said on Wednesday, after a delay-plagued general election that the opposition denounced as fraudulent.
