The body “decides to immediately suspend Gabon’s participation in all activities of the AU, its organs and institutions until constitutional order is restored in the country,” Al Jazeera reported, citing a statement on social network X (formerly Twitter). The AU stated “strongly condemns the military takeover of power in the Republic of Gabon, which overthrew President Ali Bongo on 30 August 2023.”
The announcement came after a council meeting on the situation in Gabon following the August 30 coup, which saw Ali Bongo Ondimba declared the winner of a disputed election. The military takeover ended nearly six decades of Bongo family rule and created a dilemma for a region that has struggled to cope with eight coups since 2020.
