- Nguema asks ministries, state institutions to resume work
- Gabon soldiers seized power in a coup early Wednesday
Gabon will swear in General Brice Nguema as transitional president on Sept. 4, as the country’s junta decided to reestablish the Constitutional Court on a temporary basis.
The junta appointed the head of the republican guard as transitional president on Wednesday, hours after seizing power in the OPEC member. The process will lead to a gradual set-up of transitional institutions, a military spokesman said on state television in the capital, Libreville, on Thursday evening.
