Overthrown Gabon President Bongo and his family arrive in Angola, officials say

  • Former Gabon president Ali Bongo Ondimba and his family arrived in Angola's capital Luanda on Friday after their release from detention.
  • Their release followed an agreement facilitated by Angolan President Joao Lourenco and Gabon's new leader Brice Oligui Nguema after a coup ousted Bongo in August 2023.
  • Sylvia Bongo and her son Noureddin, accused of embezzlement and money laundering, were moved out of prison and placed under house arrest on May 9.
  • Nguema, sworn in on May 3 with nearly 95% of the vote, denied torture allegations against the Bongo family despite supporters' claims.
  • The African Union lifted Gabon's suspension last month, called for the Bongo family's rights protection and release, underscoring regional efforts to stabilize Gabon.
