In Gabon, things are changing quickly on August 30, 2023 following the coup d’état perpetrated by the military meeting in a “Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions” (CTRI).
Let us recall that it is following the publication of the results of the presidential election of August 26 which gives Ali Bongo, winner.
Since this morning, arrests of several relatives of Ali Bongo (himself placed under house arrest) have been announced.
Among the relatives we cite, the son of the deposed president, Nourredin Bongo Valentin, his Chief of Staff Ian Ghislain Ngoulou, his Deputy Chief of Staff Mohamed Ali Saliou, his advisors Abdul Hosseini, Jessye Ella Ekogha, the leaders of CEO Steeve Nzegho Dieko and Cyriaque Mvourandjiami.
The charges relate to high treason, embezzlement of public funds, international financial embezzlement, forgery and use of forgery, falsification of the signature of the President of the Republic, active corruption and drug trafficking.
In a video circulating on social networks, the president of Gabon, Ali Bongo, speaks for the first time since the military coup, and calls on his international supporters “to make noise”.
