The military seized power in oil-rich Gabon on August 30, 2023.
It put President Ali Bongo Ondimba under house arrest, ending the Bongo family’s 56-year rule.
General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, a cousin of the president, led that coup. The military leader appointed Raymond Ndong Sima as the prime minister of his transitional government.
Was the coup in Gabon just a family crisis to push the country’s rule into the hands of a different branch of the same elite?
Raymond Ndong Sima, prime minister of the transitional government of Gabon, talks to Al Jazeera.
