A group of military officers said they had seized power in the oil-rich Central African nation of Gabon early on Wednesday, overturning the results of a disputed election that returned the incumbent, President Ali Bongo Ondimba, for a third term in office.
Appearing on state-run TV hours after Mr. Bongo was declared the winner of last weekend’s vote, the officers annulled the result, suspended the government and closed Gabon’s borders until further notice.
Bursts of gunfire were heard in the capital, Libreville, from the vicinity of the presidential residence soon after the announcement. Hours later Mr. Bongo, one of France’s closest allies in Africa, appeared in a video posted to social media, pleading for international help.
