Military coup after the announcement of the results of the CGE
August 30, 2023
Text of the CTRI press release – August 30, 2023 live from Gabon 24, located at the Presidency of the Republic
Our beautiful country Gabon has always been a haven of peace.
Today this country is going through a serious institutional, political, economic and social crisis.
Also, it must be admitted that the organization of the electoral deadlines, known as the general elections of August 26, 2023, did not meet the conditions for a transparent, credible, and inclusive ballot, so hoped for by Gabonese men and women.
Added to this is an irresponsible, unpredictable governance, which translates into a continuous deterioration of social cohesion, risking to lead the country into chaos.
On August 30, 2023, we, the defense and security forces, gathered within the Committee for the Transition and the Restoration of Institutions, CTRI, on behalf of the Gabonese people, and guarantors of the protection of institutions, have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the regime in place.
To this end, the general elections of August 26, 2023 as well as the truncated results are cancelled. Borders are closed until further notice.
All the institutions of the Republic are dissolved, in particular: the Government, the Senate, the National Assembly, the Constitutional Court, the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, the Gabonese Council for Elections.
We call on the population, the communities of sister countries settled in Gabon, as well as the Gabonese of the diaspora, for calm and serenity. We reaffirm our attachment to the respect of Gabon’s commitments vis-à-vis the national and international community.
Gabonese people it is finally our flight towards happiness. May God and the hands of our ancestors bless Gabon.
Honor and fidelity to the fatherland, thank you.
