Extraordinary dedication to make this piece with the current state of affairs in Gabon 👏👏👍

What a timing ✨🇬🇦✨

What an excellent piece you’ve put together. Well done for bringing this to us

Thanks so much for this commentary very educational.

Right on! I really like this channel, glad this came so fast! Also the fact that in these coups so far it hasn’t been necessary to use violence against the former ruler themselves. It shows how really pathetic they are and shows the new rulers are capable of mercy, in my opinion.

It is because the coup leader is a cousin to the ousted president.

Hi,I am from Kenya 🇰🇪. Are you yourself from Gabon?

Thanks for this fast video. I've shared with friends.

Hey Tatenda and thank you for the video so quickly released. I used to live in Libreville Gabon but now I live abroad. A country with such a small population but blessed with too much minerals and yet there’s so much poverty and a lack of infrastructures. Just like any other African country, the former colonial powers with their friends aka dictators are a hindrance to Africa’s development. Examples are many: Burkina Faso, Mali, Guinea Conakry, Niger and now Gabon. All have a lot of minerals that France is too happy to take home and yet these populations see no change at all. The result: people revolt and oust their presidents. I can only hope that the new guys in power will do good to the people that have suffered long enough under Bongo family.

Thank you for this great and succinct overview video of the situation in Gabon. Watching from USA.

Man been waiting for you to do this.

The good news is that Ali Bongo is gone...the bad news is that the coup seems to look more like a family fight since the General in charge of the coup is a relative. The darker more cynical part of me says that the extended family of the Bongos were worried that given Ali's weakened state he may end up losing his grip on power permanently and if that were to happen the sweet times of kleptocracy would finally be over.

The timeliness of this biography is extremely impressive. I know nothing of the politics of Gabon, but based just on the lineup of nations that are condemning the coup, it appears this action may be a great step forward for the independence and sovereignty of the nation.

I read somewhere that Ali Bongo is originally Nigerian.

Time catches-up with everyone...

It is good to see a new power in Gabon but I still think they had one of the best democracy in central africa.

Power is contagious, after Ali B suffered the stroke he became a cabbage but he was still insistent on being president.... The happenings are very much okay since this is a self centred individual who could have groomed a successor and still continued to enjoy the trappings of power.

The guy holding steady the mic to make sure the information is heard clearly

Finally 🙏🏾🕯️

Its really getting interesting to see in broad day light transition of power in African states where there seems to be no hope for the better, bravo

Am glad that bongo as left the palace before I died born here that bongo family is the only one running Gabon 🇬🇦
