Gabon's Coup Leaders Grant Ousted President Medical Travel Freedom

Gabon's military junta, known as the Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions (CTRI), has announced that deposed President Ali Bongo Ondimba is "free to move about" and can travel abroad for medical check-ups due to his health condition. The condition of the former president is unclear. The military junta seized power in a coup d'état after criticizing Bongo's reelection, which they deemed fraudulent. Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema has been appointed as the chairman of the CTRI and president of the transitional government, pledging to lead a peaceful transition back to civilian rule. Gabon's coup is the eighth to occur in West and Central Africa since 2020.

Gabon's Former Leader Released and Granted International Travel by Military Junta

The military junta in Gabon has freed ousted president Ali Bongo Ondimba, allowing him to travel abroad for medical check-ups. Bongo, who has been held under house arrest since the coup in August, had been rarely seen since his overthrow. The junta leader, Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema, stated that Bongo's regime had violated democratic rules and confiscated power for several years. Bongo's presidency, marked by allegations of electoral fraud, was challenged by violent protests. It remains uncertain if Bongo will leave Gabon, but a possible exit plan to Morocco has been discussed.
