This Wednesday, August 30, 2023, around twelve soldiers announced the end of the regime of Ali Bongo, who had just been re-elected for a new mandate. Some time later, the latter, who is now under house arrest, would have spoken out.

In a video broadcast by Libération, Ali Bongo urges his supporters to ” make noise “. Indeed, a journalist from Jeune Afrique relayed the video on X (formerly Twitter), showing the politician from a living room, probably within his house arrest.

“I am arrested by people here, me and my family, my son is elsewhere, my wife is elsewhere and I am under house arrest. I’m not sure what’s going on. I’m asking you to make some noise. THANKS. »declares the outgoing Gabonese president.

Note that after the military’s announcement, France condemned the coup, China requested protection of the integrity of the deposed president and Russia declared that it would carefully monitor the situation.
