Gabon’s military government has announced the release of President Ali Bongo from house arrest, allowing him to seek medical treatment abroad. This comes just a week after he was overthrown in a bloodless coup. In a televised statement, a junta spokesman stated that Bongo is now free to travel if he wishes. The ousted president, who had been under house arrest since August 30, was seen meeting with the United Nations special envoy Abdou Abary. This is the first time he has been seen since his appeal to supporters in a video message on the day of his arrest.
