In a televised statement on Wednesday, a group of twelve Gabonese soldiers made a significant announcement, declaring their intent to “bring an end to the existing regime” and to nullify the recently conducted election, which officially declared President Ali Bongo Ondimba as the winner.
As the soldiers delivered their message, the correspondent from Apexnewsgh reported hearing gunfire erupting in the capital city of Gabon, Libreville. Alongside the cancellation of the election, one of the soldiers explicitly stated that they had dissolved “all the institutions of the republic.”
“We have decided to defend peace by putting an end to the current regime”, one of the soldiers said on TV channel Gabon 24, adding that he was speaking on behalf of the “Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions”.
“To this end, the general elections of 26 August 2023 and the truncated results are cancelled,” he added.
“All the institutions of the republic are dissolved: the government, the Senate, the National Assembly and the Constitutional Court,” he added, announcing the closure of the country’s borders “until further notice”.
