"Gabon's Coup: A Sudden End to a 56-Year Dynasty"

A coup in Gabon has abruptly ended the 56-year dynasty of the Bongo family, who have ruled the country since 1967. The coup attempt took place while President Ali Bongo Ondimba was receiving medical treatment abroad, with a group of soldiers seizing the national radio station and announcing their dissatisfaction with the government. However, the government quickly regained control and arrested the coup plotters.
