The military seized power in oil-rich Gabon on August 30, 2023.
It put President Ali Bongo Ondimba under house arrest, ending the Bongo family’s 56-year rule.
General Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, a cousin of the president, led that coup. The military leader appointed Raymond Ndong Sima as the prime minister of his transitional government.

Raymond Ndong Sima, prime minister of the transitional government of Gabon, talks to Al Jazeera.
