Military officers in oil-producing Gabon said they had seized power on Wednesday and had put President Ali Bongo under house arrest, after the Central African state's election body announced that he had won a third term.
Tensions were running high amid fears of unrest after Saturday’s presidential, parliamentary, and legislative vote, which saw Bongo seeking to extend his family’s 56-year grip on power while the opposition pushed for change in the oil and cocoa-rich but poverty-stricken nation.
Not to mention Gabon is still colonised and partially militarily occupied by France. Out of all definitions of “democracy”, French colonialism isn’t even close to one. Hell when even Reuters basically openly admits is oil and cocoa in French pocket you know that shit is real.
