Thousands of Gabonese have welcomed the recent military coup against the ousted president, Ali Bongo Ondimba. The streets of the capital Libreville were filled with jubilation as ordinary people expressed their weariness with Ali Bongo's continued presidency, especially given his health condition and anti-poor policies.

Stakeholders in Gabon have revealed that the military junta is out to protect the interests of the ousted president’s family. 

"The current situation is causing a lot of confusion", says Bernard Christian Rekoula, a civil society figure. But "what we are unanimous about is the satisfaction that it is no longer a Bongo in power", sums up the opposition leader who has taken refuge in France.

Ali Bongo is the latest in a string of leaders to be ousted in military coups since 2020.
