BBC Dilemma for African Union as crowds applaud takeover 1 Aug 2023 By Will Ross

 つい、この土曜日ですか、選挙の勝利を寿いだ大統領。あっという間のクーデター。

It's become a familiar scene these days in Africa - a few soldiers on state TV announcing that they have taken over.

This time a fraudulent election was the excuse - Ali Bongo, the incumbent president, had just hours earlier been declared the winner of a highly criticised poll. International observers and journalists had been barred from covering it.

In a patronage system where support is effectively bought, it is hard to gauge genuine support. But in Gabon there is no doubt that having been in power since 1967, many have had enough of the Bongo family dynasty. People were quick to take to the streets, appearing to be genuinely delighted. So far there’s no sign of a pushback.

More comment now from foreign powers - Russia says it is "deeply concerned" over the apparent coup in Gabon.

And France has reiterated its own anxiety over the situation; a fresh statement from Foreign Minister Olivier Véran says Paris wants the result of Gabon's recent election to be respected.

President Ali Bongo, 64, won a third term in office in elections held on Saturday. The army now says he is under house arrest.

We've also had a comment on today's events from China - which says it is closely following the developing situation in Gabon. Army officers say they've seized power from President Ali Bongo.

During a press conference, a foreign ministry spokesman urged all sides to commit to dialogue in order to "restore normal order as soon as possible".
