France carefully monitors the development of the situation in Gabon, where the military attempted a coup. This was stated by France Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourn.
According to her, French diplomacy faced many crisis situations this year, to which “the situation in Gabon was also added.” “We will have to conduct this battle,” the prime minister said.
The politician noted that today France “more than ever needs its diplomats.”
Previously, a group of senior officers in Gabon made on national television a statement on the seizure of power.
The military announced the cancellation of the results of the presidential elections and the dissolution of the authorities of the government, as well as the closure of all the borders of the country “before the further notification.”
