Ousted Gabonese President, Ali Bongo, has cried out for help following Wednesday’s coup.
Gatekeepers News reports that Bongo in a video that surfaced on social media was seen begging his international friends to “make noise”
In the 51-second video, the ousted President confirmed that he had been arrested and isolated from his son and wife, who he said were held at another place.
Bongo said, “My name is Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of Gabon. I am sending a message to all friends that we have all over the world, to tell them to make noise, to make noise.”
The 64-year-old became Gabon’s president in 2009 after his father, Omar Bongo, who had ruled Gabon for almost 42 years, from 1967 died.
