General Brice Oligui Nguema, the head of Gabon’s armed forces, will now only be paid as the commander of the republican guard, having renounced his income as president.
After President Ali Bongo was overthrown in August of this year, he was appointed acting president.
According to a junta spokesperson’s statement on Wednesday, Gen. Nguema made the choice because he was “aware of the social emergencies and many expectations of the Gabonese people”.
What are the democratically elected presidents also doing? Don’t forget that this is a military leader! Is the military rule not better?
