Gabon: General Oligui to remain transitional president for unspecified period

The judges of the country's constitutional court administered the oath of office to Gabonese General Brice Oligui Nguema on Monday, September 4, in a televised ceremony. Nguema was the mastermind of the coup that removed President Ali Bongo. This occurs just days after the military of the 2.3 million-person nation, led by Oligui, seized control.
