In this video we look at the astonishing story of Ali Bongo Ondimba (a playboy prince who became president after his father) as well as recent events that led to his tragic fall. In the early hours of Wednesday, 30th August 2023, the Gabonese military announced the overthrow of President Ali Bongo Ondimba in a military coup d’état.
The coup brought to an abrupt end the more than half century rule of the bongo family over the tiny oil-rich nation.
The soldiers also announced the annulment of recent presidential election results that declared Bongo winner, few hours before the coup d’état.
But, who is Ali Bongo Ondimba and how did his country, Gabon arrive here?
Well, he is a man of many faces.
To some, he is a spoilt, playboy prince who saw ruling the oil-rich Gabon as his birthright; and a one-time funk musician who stepped into his father's shoes to continue his family's rule.
Others see him as a reformer - a man seeking to diversify the economy and boost Gabon's international status with an ambitious environmental agenda. #militarycoupingabon #alibongo #gabon
