New Gabon president Gen. Nguema visits the Republic of Congo, lobbies for lifting of sanctions

New Gabon president Gen. Nguema visits the Republic of Congo, lobbies for lifting of sanctions

Gabon’s new strongman was greeted by The Congo’s Prime minister upon arrival on Sunday (Oct. 1) at Ollombo international airport. He then met with president Denis Sassou Nguesso.

Oligui said his visit was aimed at improving the ties and easing Gabon’s international isolation following the coup.

“I have come to consult, to discuss, to exchange with (the president), who for us is a key in the region, who can relay to global authorities what we have done,” Oligui said after holding talks with Congo President Denis Sassou Nguesso.

The talks were held near Oyo, in central Congo.

“It is also to ease the sanctions… we hope to once again take our place among the nations,” Oligui said.

Gabon was suspended from the African Union and the Economic Community of Central Africa States (ECCAS) after the change of government.

ECCAS has also ordered the immediate transfer of its headquarters from Gabon’s Libreville to the Equatorial Guinea capital Malabo.

The Congo president did not address reporters after the talks, but his Foreign Minister Jean-Claude Gakosso hailed Oligui as “a man of humility and reconciliation.”

“I think that the Gabonese should support him and aside from the Gabonese, the Congolese. Also, our brothers in central Africa”, he told reporters.

“We know that there was a change in Libreville,” Gakosso said. “The main thing is that there was no bloodshed.”

“We have rarely seen this, a forceful change of regime without bloodshed.”

“The Congo and Gabon are in reality the same country. We have to work tirelessly, have good relations,” he said.

Gabon’s transitional president, who ousted the leader of the central African country at the end of August, received a show of support from neighbouring Republic of Congo on Sunday after he met his counterpart, aiming to improve relations and ease Gabon’s isolation.

General Brice Oligui Nguema overthrew Ali Bongo Ondimba, 64, who had ruled Gabon since 2009, moments after he was proclaimed the winner in a presidential election in late August.

The election result was branded a fraud by the opposition and the military coup leaders, who had also accused his regime of widespread corruption and bad governance.

Under the presidency of Ali Bongo, relations between Gabon and neighbouring Congo were notoriously tense.

The visit marked the second overseas trip by Oligui, who was sworn in last month as Gabon’s interim president.

Many in Gabon saw Ali Bongo’s overthrow as an act of liberation rather than a military coup.

Oligui has promised to hold “free, transparent and credible elections” to restore civilian rule, but has not given a timeframe.
