Gabonese President Ali Bongo back to Morocco after a one-day visit to Libreville

Gabonese President Ali Bongo is back again to Morocco to resume his treatment after he flew to Libreville for a two-day visit, reports the Gabonese press agency AGP.

Bongo left for Gabon days after the country survived an attempted military coup. The President returned to Rabat on Tuesday night after swearing in 38 ministers for the country’s new government, wrote AFP.

«He returned to Rabat to resume his rehabilitation», a source in the President's entourage told the French agency.

While Bongo was in the Kingdom, Gabonese security forces foiled an attempted coup and arrested the people behind it.

The failed coup occurred after speculations suggested the President was «incapacitated or even dead». On New Year’s Eve Ali Bongo delivered a speech through Rabat.

For the record, the Gabonese President flew to Morocco after he was hospitalized in Saudi Arabia because of a stroke. He arrived in Rabat on November the 28th, 2019, after accepting the proposal of King Mohammed VI, said his wife Sylvia Bongo in a Facebook post.

For the record, Bongo was transferred to a hospital on October the 24th after he suffered a stroke during a conference. The country’s top court ruled, at the time, that Gabon’s vice president will head the cabinet in his absence.
