Bongo took over in 2009 from his father Omar, who had ruled since 1967. The president released a video statement in response to the address, pleading with countries to support him and &#8216;make noise&#8217;. France, Gabon&#8217;s former colonial ruler, condemned the coup and said the election result should be respected. If successful, the coup would be the eighth in west and central Africa since 2020. The most recent one, in Niger, was in July, while the military has also seized power in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Chad. <\/p>\n<p>The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
