MILITARY COUP IN GABON AFTER "DISPUTED" PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
"A group of senior military officers in Gabon said Wednesday they were overturning the results of a presidential election, minutes after the election committee announced that President Ali Bongo had won another term.
Bongo’s win would have cemented his family’s 55-year grip on power. Soon after the announcement, gunfire rang out in the capital, Libreville, according to the Associated Press."
