Gabon's rebel-appointed leader and transitional president, Gen. Brice Oligie Nguema allowed ousted Gabonese President Ali Bongo to travel abroad, given his health condition.
"Given the health condition of the former President of the Republic, Ali Bongo has the freedom of movement. If he wants to, he can travel abroad for medical control," a spokesman of rebels said, citing Nguema's statement.
On August 30, the military in Gabon announced the dissolution of the institutions of power and the cancellation of the results of the elections in which, according to the reports, Ali Bongo Ondimba, who has been president since 2009, won. Later, the military promised that they would gradually create transitional institutions, while Gabon would fulfill all its domestic and international obligations.
General Brice Oligie Nguema also promised to reorganize the state institutions of power and make them more democratic.
