Army officers have appeared on national television in Gabon to say they have taken power.
They said they were annulling the results of Saturday's election, in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner.
The electoral commission said Mr Bongo had won just under two-thirds of the votes in an election the opposition argued was fraudulent.
His overthrow would end his family's 53-year hold on power in Gabon.
Gabon is one of Africa's major oil producers, while nearly 90% of the country is covered by forests.
It joined the Commonwealth in June 2022, becoming one of its few members not to have been a British colony.
Twelve soldiers appeared on television early on Wednesday morning, announcing they were cancelling the results of the election and dissolving "all the institutions of the republic".
They added that the country's borders had been closed "until further notice".
If confirmed, this would be the eighth coup in former French colonies in Africa in the past three years.

Africa SOP
So is this Africa throwing off the ChiCom’s yoke...
Or the ChiComs consolidating their control...
Savages.
In the US, we just claim to stop counting at certain polling centers so the observers leave, and discard ballots we don’t like, and make new ones we want.
Much more civilized.
Headlines in the U.S. could soon read: “Democrat coup: Army cancels elections and seizes power”
From April...

It should be noted that Africans throwing off the yoke of Western domination really kicked things up only AFTER the West demanded that they tolerate the social degeneracy that now pervades in Europe (and Ukraine too, if the Neocons get their way).
By the time our Western ‘social experiment’ ends, all of Africa will likely be aligned with Russia/China, and maybe most of South America, too.
Bottom line - preach the wrong crap, pay the price.
Our military let the Chinese and cabal take over without firing a shot.
And even before that, it looks like there was more than meets the eye to Obama's statement about being 5 days away from fundamentally transforming America. As was said of Obama's college years, he was a true believer in Marxism (the Chinese version, not the Russian one).
Looks like he was on the Chinese payroll for a very long time.
MALI, BURKINA FASO, NIGER, AND NOW GABON.
Africa is freeing itself.
The West is FALLING. The East is RISING.
Bongo Bongo Bongo
I don’t want to leave the Congo
Oh no no no no no no
This is the eighth successful coup since 2020 in West and Central Africa.
If blacks thought whitey was bad, wait until they get a load of China.
Chinese people despise blacks.
Though there’s always the saying “Africa wins again…”
That should have happened here in 2020. Then work thru the fraud
till the election could legitimized.
I’m sure the Biden Regime is watching how that works out.
Seize the mass media and you have power.
Life is simple when you know the rules.

The First Time I Heard of Barack
During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.
V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause - a cause she obviously was not abandoning.
One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.’s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions.
As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge - one her husband tried to quietly rein in.
The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:
“You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven’t you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn’t do it.”
The general response went something along the lines that you don’t vote for someone just because of their sex. Besides, you don’t vote for vice-president, but the president and vice-president as a ticket.
“Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon.”
The consensus we expressed was that we didn’t think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.
“What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?”
The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, “Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.”
It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”
“Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call “Ivy League”. You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be your President.”
She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly - as though all were foregone conclusions. “It’s all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won’t have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He’s gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America.”
We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: they would give us a black president and he’d be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.
She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.
She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. “Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet.”
At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn’t understand what the point was and don’t recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.
Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: “If I remember correctly, ‘Barack’ comes from the Arabic word for ‘Blessing.’ That seems to be an odd name for an American.” She replied quickly, “Yes. It is ‘African’”, she insisted, “and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world.”
She continued with something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for Communism. America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.
So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?
Well, it’s definitely anecdotal. It doesn’t prove that Obama has had Soviet Communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it does show one thing that I think is very important. It shows that Soviet Russian Communists knew of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed Communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came personally to me from one of them long before America knew he existed.
Although I had never before heard of him, at the time of this conversation Obama was 30+ years old and was obviously tested enough that he was their anticipated rising star.

“Africa is freeing itself.”
And it will end the same way it always ends, with Africans slaughtering each other until the cows come home. Then they’ll slaughter the cows.
Let Africa sink.

Obama did much to isolate Putin.
