[Regnum] The leader of the rebels who carried out the coup in Gabon, General Bris Oligi Nguema, promised to reorganize the institutions of power in the country and make them more democratic. This was reported on September 1 by Agence France-Presse (AFP). As the leader of the rebels explained, the dissolution of the institutions of power is purely temporary. This is a process of reorganization with the aim of making the institutions of power more democratic and more in line with international standards in terms of respect for human rights, fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law. A group of high-ranking military officials announced a coup in Gabon, which took place following the results of the presidential elections in that country. Gabon's incumbent President Ali Bongo Ondimba was reported to have won the presidential election with 64.2% of the vote. The rebels who seized power announced the cancellation of the election results, the dissolution of state institutions, the closure of borders until further notice, and President Ali Bongo Ondimba was dismissed and placed under house arrest |
