Gabon Coup: Military officers announce takeover on television, reject Presidential election results

Nearly a dozen soldiers took to state television and said they were overturning the presidential election and called for calm among the population. Gabon’s government had announced a nationwide curfew and cut off internet access Saturday evening as voting in major national elections for new local leaders, national legislators and Gabon’s next president was wrapping up.
