The government of Gabon declared that it was in control
after an attempted coup by army rebels Monday and that it had arrested most of
those involved.
“Calm has returned, the situation is under control,”
government spokesman Guy-Bertrand Mapangou told AFP.
Only hours earlier, soldiers burst into state radio and
called on the people to “rise up,” an apparent bid to oust ailing President Ali
Bongo, who is out of the country. Of the five who did this, according to
Mapangou, “four have been arrested and one is on the run.”
