Africa woke up to the news of another coup just about two months of a coup in Niger
As ECOWAS tries to send military intervention to Niger to restore the country to democratic rule, they have another coup, and matters arising in Gabon.
The Committee of Security Agencies in Gabon has issued this press statement announcing the Coup.
Our beautiful country Gabon has always been a haven of peace. This country is going through a serious institutional, political, economic, and social crisis. It must also be admitted that the organization of the electoral deadlines known as the general elections of August 26, 2023, did not meet the conditions for a transparent, credible, and inclusive ballot so hoped for by Gabonese men and women.
Added to this is an irreproachable, unpredictable governance which results in a continuous deterioration of social cohesion risking to lead the country to chaos.
Today, August 30, 2023, we defense and security forces gathered within the Committee for the Transition and the Restoration of Institutions (CTRI), on behalf of the Gabonese people and guarantors of the protection of institutions have decided to defend peace in putting an end to the regime in place. To this end, the general elections of August 26, 2023, as well as the truncated results are canceled. Borders are closed until further notice. All the institutions of the Republic are dissolved. In particular the Government, the Senate, the National Assembly, the Constitutional Court, the economic, social, and environmental council, and the Gabonese Council for Elections. We call on the population, the communities of sister countries settled in Gabon as well as the Gabonese of the diaspora for calm and serenity. We reaffirm our attachment to the respect of Gabon’s commitments vis-à-vis the national and international community
Gabonese people it is finally our flight towards happiness. May God and the ghosts of our ancestors bless Gabon.
The Coup has broken the Ali Bongo family’s grip on power in that country for the past 56 years.
Since 2020 there’s been about 8 coups in West and Central African countries such as Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Chad with the recent being Niger and now Gabon.
