The leader of a coup that ousted the ruling family of the central African nation of Gabon was sworn in as the interim president on Monday.

Gabon's General Brice Oligui Nguema was sworn in as interim president by the constitutional court in a televised ceremony on Monday, after a junta ousted President Ali Bongo in a coup last week. In West and Central Africa's eighth coup in three years, military officers led by General Brice Oligui Nguema seized power on Aug. 30, minutes after an announcement that Bongo had secured a third term in an election - a result they annulled and said was not credible, Reuters said.

"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.

General Brice Oligui Nguema, who was sworn in as Gabons new interim president on Monday, was unknown to much of the public before he led a coup last week that ended 55 years of rule by the Bongo dynasty.
