STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSLIBREVILLE - Gabon's main opposition group, Alternance 2023, called on the international community on Friday to encourage the junta that overthrew President Ali Bongo to hand power back to civilians.
The junta has said little about its immediate plans after ending the Bongo family's almost six decades in power, a move that drew cheering crowds onto the streets of Libreville. "We were happy that Ali Bongo was overthrown but ... we hope that the international community will stand up in favour of the Republic and the democratic order in Gabon by asking the military to give back the power to the civilians," Alexandra Pangha, spokesperson for Alternance 2023 leader Albert Ondo Ossa, told the BBC.
Pangha said the opposition hoped to get an invitation from the junta to discuss the Central African country's transition plan and return to the republican order but said it had not received anything yet.
