Wednesday’s military takeover in Gabon came on the heels of the July coup in Niger, Burkina Faso in 2022, and Chad, Guinea, Sudan and Mali in the years prior to that. The announcement of the takeover in Gabon came shortly after election results were announced saying incumbent president Ali Bongo had been re-elected, amid reports of irregularities at the polls. UN Secretary-General, António Guterres has said coups only make crises worse, emphasising the need for durable governance and the rule of law. Guterres highlighted the need to strengthen international bodies such as the African Union, in their diplomatic efforts to foster peace, stability and democracy on the continent.
