Description
Just ahead of the 16 November referendum on a new constitution, Gabon's cities are adorned with signs urging citizens to vote "yes" while opponents of the junta-drafted law are struggling to make themselves heard. For those in favour the choice is clear. “This constitution responds to the profound aspirations of the Gabonese people,” says Essone Ondo. The vote is a key step toward the return of civilian rule promised by the military after its August 2023 coup ended 55 years of rule by ousted president Ali Bongo Ondimba's family.
