General Nguema named Gabon’s transitional leader after coup

The African Union, the United Nations and France are condemning yet another military coup in Africa – this time in the Central African country of Gabon. President Ali Bongo is under house arrest and the government has been dissolved. Military coup leaders have appointed General Brice Oligui Nguema as transitional leader. The deposed president’s family has ruled the oil-rich but impoverished country for 55 years. There was jubilation across the country but Bongo is asking people to rise up against the coup.
