Gabon president dismissed and being under arrest asks for help of his French “friends“ The head of the Republican Guard, Brice Oligui Nguema, said that Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba, who was re-elected for a third term with more than 64% of the vote, was dismissed. However, he retains all civil rights. The deposed head of the country also recorded a video message in which he appealed for international support. He says that he is in his residence and does not know where his wife and sons are staying now. Earlier, the military in Gabon announced the cancellation of the results of national elections and the dissolution of government institutions. At the same time, residents of the country gladly welcomed the Republican Guard on the streets after the coup. In Gabon, RFI and the France24 TV channel have already stopped broadcasting, and the French mining company Eramet announced the suspension of operations in the country. The liberation movements supported by Russia in the Central African Republic, Mali, Niger and Sudan made it clear to Africans that French domination has an alternative, which the residents of Gabon did not fail to take advantage of.
