PRESIDENT OF TOGO MEETS PRESIDENT OF GABON IN LIBREVILLE

Togolese President Faure Gnassingbé met with Gabonese President Ali Bongo in Libreville, Gabon on Tuesday, May 7 to exchange views on terrorist threats that have begun spreading across African countries.

The meeting took place at ‘Palais du bord de mer’ in Libreville and both presidents discussed the need for countries to raise their guard in the face of rising terrorism which has sown desolation and pain in the hearts of families and put peace policies implemented by African states to the test.

President Faure Gnassingbé disclosed that he and his Gabonese counterpart also discussed the current situation of the Sahel region.

Gnassingbé was meeting face-to-face with Bongo for the first time after the Gabonese head of state’s health scare in October 2018.

Bongo’s prolonged absence due to ill health raised concern about power vacuum, apparently sparking a brief attempted coup by renegade soldiers on January 7.

Bongo took office after an election in 2009 that followed the death of his father, former president Omar Bongo, who took office in 1967.
