The African Union has suspended Gabon following Wednesday’s coup.
After seizing power, the military cancelled the election results in which President Ali Bongo was declared the winner.
The opposition says it won the election and is calling on the military to finish counting the votes.

This is good! Because the other nations will join Brics. Africa union and Ecowas will die within 5 years!
African union is so corrupt. It’s time for true leaders to come up and liberate Africa
Sanction should be placed on bad and terrible leadership in Africa and not on the people who revolt against it.
Shame on AU puppet leaders.
I laugh at all these people who support these coups. when those same people were following and carrying out the orders of the previous rulers without question.. as history has shown they just turn into the new tyrannt give it a yr or 2
African Union is controlled by the west
Now No Russian flag 🇷🇺 seen anywhere in case the west and af😊Union doesn’t believe that PEOPLE Have spoken
African union is a t00thless dog. They are actually for western nations n against their own. Shame onto them
African Union looking for Western Handouts 🤣 That organization is the biggest joke on the planet
The AU is full of hypocrites and a bunch of puppets being used as a tool to recolonize Africa 😢 Shame
Who finances African Union?
West
@N.M Does the west officially or unofficially finances African Union?
African union is the most useless organization, it’s not for African citizens. We don’t care what it says
IIs time africa, let the wave begin
EU would never suspend another European countries if they are fighting for freedom. They even support Ukraine who is not EU. But useless AU is just pathetic
Senegal needs to do the same.
I don’t know important of AU in African countries
SO!
African union leaders young people of this continent coming for you coz you are number 1 encouraging this rubbish that happening all over the continent. Be ready to run to your home in Europe and North America. We’ll chase you same way…
“Sparked Celebration” there is like 5 random people dancing
I LOVE THAT THEY ALL KNOW HOW RICH THEY ARE.
African Union is puppets as well. Get rid of them clowns 🤡
This AU is useless.
Peace! The blackness of our skin affects our brains. The organization of African continent countries is trying to isolate a country that is located in Africa as not a member of the A.U. just because of military coup that take place in the country. What a foolish stance and how can such a decision happen?
For, all countries in the continent are remained in it, it will be only be a good decision to use diplomatic strategies for solving problems and of every kind but not a forceful or punishment methods of which are believed to be fruitless stance for the citizens of Africa. I pray that, one day my black brothers and sisters shall understand that they are going on wrong methods and ways against themselves and try to get to the positive ways, amen.
Great news best of luck to all victims people of guban
Where was the African Union when there was LOOTING, ELECTION RIGGING, CORRUPTION, UNDERVELOPMENT Etc? Ararant NONSENSE!!!
AU suspending memberships left, right and centre. Nobody wants to be a member of an organisation that brings no benefit to them
Many of this fake, corrupt,western puppetes,african rulers should n are suppose to b rotting in jail..
It’s high time we suspend the AU, because have they have no regard for the welfare of the people.
These African hooligans calling themselves African Union have only managed to sell Africa to westerners and now they’re busy making noise mbu suspending Gabon, what’s the use of your zombies’ club to a common african?
African Union is dictated by France and the west they want those leader in power so that they can steal all the wealth from Africa for themselves
Gabon 🇬🇦 stand strong 💪🏾 we support your liberation, Uganda 🇺🇬 loves u.
Just asking why the AU do not act when these dictators ,break rules, how can any one rule for 40,50 years it is insane, i think the AU is out of touch in this case
You are the best reporters
What these coup leaders can do is start their own BRICS organization
Shame shame Au….useless
Life after that coup will be worse than it ever was under white minority rule and the corrupt regime you’ve just removed. Ask a Zimbabwean.
Zimbabwe is the gateway to Africa .
AU is a disgrace
No wonder that organization has done nothing
What these countries can do is come together create their own organization
That’s the solution
We love you Gabon 🇬🇦 for what you did. Never mind these “African Union” and all it’s sister organizations. We all hate these organizations for their nonsensical agendas because they are really letting us down as Africa while lying to us that they are trying to help. They are the ones who are ripping apart the whole Africa knowing fully that we can never rise to power as long as we are submissive to them
Thank you President Nguema for taking over❤❤❤❤
Make Africa great
AFRICAN UNION AND ECOWAS ANOTHER GROUP OF THIEVES
But you let the black hating Morocco back in after 39 years. Smh…
AU has no teeth, useless….
No one cares about Africa union or the United Nations. They don’t work for the common man. They only work for big boys to take more from the poorest.
AU is a caucus of thieves to protect their own interests.
Toothless organisation 😮😮😮
Poor neocolonial africa
At this rate of expulsions,the African Union will have no members by 2030….
Don’t feel sorry for him when his father died. He would have just gone as a businessman, not as a monarch, going like his father.
Shameful AU.
Africans doesn’t recognise ECOWAS anymore because they birds 🐦🐦 of same feather flocks together corrupt politicians
NEVER EXPECTED FROM African Union. Whats wrong with removing french pupped regime after 55 years? more countries should do that! AU is controlled and paid by the west…
Shame on the AU
What did they do to the bongo close to 60years dynasty
They only exported $6B yet they took billions??? It seems they would know if someone took more than 1/3 of the funds (using a conservative $2B).
Military coup… in Africa… replacing the former leader with his cousin 🤔, sure, this will end well.
Does it matter who is in power in the realm of politics ? Does a new candidate or politician prove to be “more righteous” than the previous one ? Since Gabon is about 85 percent Catholic, then should they not look into the Bible to see who rules the world of politics ?
And what does the Bible show as to who is the mastermind, the one who pulls the strings on ALL political governments and their supporters around the earth ? At Revelation 13, it says: “And it (“the dragon”, Satan the Devil, see Rev 12:9) stood still on the sand of the sea (of restless, agitated, unstable mankind, that is never satisfied with the “status quo”, but wanting to build their own kind of political government, see Isa 57:20, 21).”
“And I saw a wild beast ascending out of the sea (or the political system that is Satan’s creation, being “carved” out from restless, agitated, wanting to create their own form of government, from democracy to communism to a military junta ruling), with ten horns and seven heads (or seven world powers that have held sway over God’s people, from ancient Egypt down till today of the 7th and last world power, the Anglo/American one), and on its horns ten diadems (or crowns, denoting ruling power), but on its heads blasphemous names (because the world places their trust in political governments instead of God’s Kingdom, see Matt 6:10).”
“Now the (political) wild beast that I saw was like a leopard, but its feet were like those of a bear, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth.(see Dan 7:1-6, whereby the world of politics is represented by wild animals and is therefore vicious like a wild beast, murderous) And the dragon (or Satan the Devil) gave to the beast its power and its throne and great authority.”(Rev 13:1, 2)
So, when one politician is “thrown out” and replaced with another one or group of say military men, this changes NOTHING, for all that is being done is change one corrupt person or group for one or group just as corrupt and still under Satan’s “thumb”, and that is why Jesus told his GENUINE disciples that they were to be “NO PART of the world” with its “deadly, dirty, and divided house” of politics, being politically neutral.(John 15:19)
African Union. Toothless Bull dogs.
African Union was formed and financed by the empire and initially it was against pan africanism
Nobody cares about UN, US, EU, AU they are all thieves, biased, human abusers
African Union Of Thieves !!! Don’t even pretend to be Good Samaritans.
Guys big up, don’t worry no one knows how you been suffering except you, you must fight for your own country, & us as Africans we should be helping you, but you see looks like you’re abandoned. We must be together like America if you messed up with one state, you’ll be chased by all states. Why until now Africa doesn’t make its own decision as Africa???? Please we’re tired of this!
Laughable. What do they preside over anyway.
LETS SEE WHAT THEY DO FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!! ONCE WE SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE PROSPERING, THEN…. 🍃
Africans never cease to amaze- just saying!
The Africa Union is full of idiots and fools serving the needs of the west ,where was AU when Libya was attacked. We pray for more of this revolution to come once Africa must change now
A man and his son had ruled their country to the ground what did AU do to save the country for the people.?
The problem is, we’ve seen this before. Like The Who sang, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” Look at Sudan’s latest civil war? The blood will flow, the killings will resume, as soon as the glow of the coup wears off and opposition is expressed. The military will loot Gabon just like the Egyptian army owns and controls huge swaths of their country’s economy. So I would like it turn out well for Gabon, but history says it’s a foolish hope.
Soon the AU will supend all the African countries. Hahahahaha AU should start seeing that elections are fair and the democracy they very much want to uphold is actually what it start for. AU enemy of africa 🌍
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉congrats to Gabon 🇬🇦
Don’t worry : your people won’t suspend , but embrace you while the African Union will be discarded as trash by their European masters who are robbers and pirates and filthy dirty garbage.
Puppets controlled by the west
Ali-Make noise
Citizens-Party on
USA and the white supremacy upset that Africa is taking back their identity from the USA lead slavers
Who needs a membership to that stupid union that doesn’t speak out about IMPORTANT things.
Dogs barking at master’s behest.
Suspended for refusing to be under the government of one family for 60yrs who is stealing the resources of the country? Is that even democracy?
Yes African Union knows who pays them. So they’re doing their bosses order!
Wow so the AU is in favor of corrupt nepotism, what a joke
disband Africa union ,,,,,,its not helping us
its a pity… even the coup will not change. its only the riches will change hands. Gabon is never going to become a nation they all think they will be now…. money and power will always be the devils tool…
Do Not Forget:
White Christians
Are Not Your Enemies,
Afterall No African
is Native African Anymore,
You’ve Been Mixed
With White People
Since Roman Times,
Unfortunately, Much Like In Europe And America These Days,
There Is Plenty Of
Bitter Blood Which Tries To Subjugate Everyone!!
The Au is corrupt. How do you sanction people that free themselves.
African Union are thugs that only care to fill their pockets and their diplomatic visa to Europe and other western countries. African youth don’t listen those murders in Addis
Who cares about the African union.
i pray for unity,the Cause and foundations of the coup is Italy and France Paris,Napolitano,Napoli,Taranto,Torino,sardinia,Rome
Of what use is the AU to African countries?
The AU is just a puppet of the EU. Nothing more .
It is unfortunate that African leaders keep making a mockery of themselves.
AU is a club of dictators micromanaged in Ethiopia to prolong the like of Ali Bongo to stay in power .
That’s the only option remaining to remove old african leaders who stuck in power, bravo african youths together we can.
It’s NOT a coup; it’s a REVOLUTION!! And I support each country that stands up for its people!!! ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
As long as AFRICA UNION And WORLD POWERS continues to allow fraudulent declaration of election result and intermittent manipulation of justice, and judiciary, there will always be military coup in Africa.” It will be practically impossible to condemn military dictatorship without first condemning institutional coups and manipulation. Democratic institutions have been subjected to different levels of threats by desperate politicians without any intervention from AFRICAN UNION .
Rien🇫🇷 a changer🇫🇷 au Gabon🇫🇷 toujours🇫🇷 sous l 🇫🇷occupation🇫🇷 française 🇫🇷
Politicians in many Africa countries never learnt economic success story from other countries like Singapore. These Africa countries have large amount of resources and should be richer than Singapore, which don’t have natural resources. These Africa countries poverty problem are due to corrupted government and their bad leadership with bad economy policies.
*African Union, traitors to their own people as usual.*
*African Union = western countries lapdogs.*
Cowards and traitors usually suffer the worst punishment, they die a thousand times in isolation.
*Gabon, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Mali, Myanmar.*
under Military government..
Who needs who? AU is not solving any problems knowing some of those leaders are also greedy dictators who powers have been threatened by thexGabon example. Continue serving your western masters instead of the African powers. Your actions speak louder than your words. AU leaders arise with the God given wisdom and stand your ground witout pleasing your colonial masters. Your loyalty belongs to the African people!
The coup d’etat will go all the way to Adisababa where those biased Au officials will be smoked out from office
This coup means nothing to us Gabonese citizens, its family affair, those who celebrated are idiots. let the military hand over the power to the civilians we vote again.
This is real decolonization.
