A video sighted by InsightNewsgh.com of “unwell” Gabon President, Ali Bongo Ondimba, who has been overthrown by the military coup, shortly after being re-elected for a third term.
He can hardly stand unaided on his own, as this recent video of him and the French President makes abundantly clear.
Watch the video below;
Military officials in Gabon announced their takeover of power on live national television, claiming that the weekend elections had been fraudulent.
With 64% of the presidential vote, President Ali Bongo Ondimba, who has been in office for 14 years, was declared the winner.
Tensions were high and there were fears of unrest following Saturday’s presidential, parliamentary, and legislative elections, in which Bongo sought to keep his family in power after 56 years and the opposition pushed for change in the oil- and cocoa-rich but impoverished nation.
The lack of foreign observers, the suspension of some foreign broadcasts, the decision by the authorities to cut off internet connectivity and impose a nighttime curfew following the election all raised questions about the integrity of the election.
The group has named members of the “committee of transition and the restoration of institutions.” They dissolved a number of state institutions, including the government, senate, national assembly, constitutional court, and election body.
The military asserted that it does not think the election was free, fair, or transparent and that the Gabonese government has long disregarded the wishes of the populace.
After some military officers inn#Gabon announced they had ousted President Ali Bongo Ondimba and taken over, street celebrations appear to have started in Libreville.
