  • A group of senior Gabonese military officers appeared on national television in the early hours of Wednesday and said they had taken power, minutes after the state election body announced President Ali Bongo had won a third term.
    Appearing on television channel Gabon 24, the officers said they represented all security and defence forces in the Central African nation. They said the election results were cancelled, all borders were closed until further notice, and that state institutions were dissolved.

      Anything to end european colonialism and centuries of shameless looting i guess.
      What's the African saying........ Oh yess. When Europeans/Americans come we get ethnic/communal violence, looting, colonialism, destabilization, coups that last decades/centuries and then a lecture on how advanced, civilised they are and how backwards Africans are.
      When Russians come we get military training and when the Chinese come we get new infrastructure.
