The military leaders who staged a coup in Gabon have freed ousted president Ali Bongo Ondimba and he is now allowed to travel abroad, a junta spokesperson said Wednesday.
Bongo has reportedly been held in house arrest since the coup in the Central African nation in late August. “Given his state of health, the former President of the Republic Ali Bongo Ondimba is free to move about. He may, if he wishes, travel abroad to receive medical check-ups,” junta spokesperson Col. Ulrich Manfoumbi said on state television, reading a statement from transitional leader Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema.
He had been in power for 14 years since succeeding his father Omar Bongo in 2009 and sought another term in last month’s disputed elections. He was announced winner in the polls, described by the junta as an “outrageously biased electoral process.” Bongo’s father ruled Gabon for more than four decades before his death in 2009. Junta leader Nguema, who voided the election, said Bongo’s regime had “confiscated power for several years, in flagrant violation of democratic rules.
