Ali Bongo, the ousted president of Gabon, has officially announced his retirement from political life, marking the end of an era in Gabonese politics.
This announcement comes a year after he was deposed in a military coup. In a heartfelt letter to the nation, Bongo expressed his desire to step away from all political ambitions, highlighting his wish for peace and the release of his wife and son, who are currently imprisoned. He alleges that they are facing 'violence' and 'torture', calling for their clemency.
This move signifies a significant shift in Gabon's political landscape, as Bongo was a long-standing figure in the country's governance.
