Gabon Coup: Govt Says ‘Situation Under Control,’ Rebels Seized by ZWorld: 11:24am On Jan 07, 2019 |
The government of Gabon declared that it was in control after an attempted coup by army rebels Monday and that it had arrested most of those involved. “Calm has returned, the situation is under control,” government spokesman Guy-Bertrand Mapangou told AFP. Only hours earlier, soldiers burst into state radio and called on the people to “rise up,” an apparent bid to oust ailing President Ali Bongo, who is out of the country. Of the five who did this, according to Mapangou, “four have been arrested and one is on the run.” Watch video below: https://zenithnaija.com/gabon-coup-govt-says-situation-under-control-rebels-seized/ 3 Likes 1 Share

fasho01: Yes, it was a welcome development when Nzeogwu overthrew that corrupt first republic government..... until we were burying millions of people over the next 4 years. Yes, it was a welcome development when Bubu threw out Shagari's corrupt government.... until we ended up with 15 extra years of oppresive army rule. Bad democracy pass best army rule |

theoldpretender: You are absolutely right with the points raised, that's why I said with the political history of the country. I recall same happening with Gambia and Zimbabwe and it worked well eventually. In this current era, coup is just to dethrone a dictator to hand over to still a democratic dispensation |
