Claims of Fix Gabon's Presidential election
Opponents claim vote results in oil-rich Gabon are a ‘fraudulent farce’
LIBREVILLE, Gabon - The government on Thursday declared the eldest son of the late dictator Omar Bongo the winner of weekend presidential elections, enraging opposition supporters who torched a French diplomatic mission as a main opposition candidate went into hiding, nursing an injury he reportedly suffered when police fired tear gas canisters.
The anger extended outside Gabon's borders. In Dakar, Senegal, Gabonese students pushed past the sole guard at the Gabonese Embassy. A loud explosion was followed by the sound of breaking glass. The students charged out as a huge plume of smoke rose from the two-story structure.
"We want change," said one of the students. "This election is a fraud."
Even before the results of Sunday's election were announced on state TV, there was violence.
In Gabon's capital, Libreville, police fired tear gas at opposition demonstrators who had camped outside the electoral commission overnight, waiting to hear the outcome. The results had been expected Wednesday night but were delayed because the election commission disagreed on how to review province-by-province results.
Within hours of the announcement that Ali Bongo had won, opposition supporters attacked the French consulate in the oil hub of Port Gentil, 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Libreville, setting the building alight and ransacking nearby shops, a local TV station reported.
The unrest is not likely to affect global oil prices, said Leo Drollas, chief economist at the London-based Center for Global Energy Studies, noting Gabon's small petroleum output. According to the U.S. Energy Administration, Gabon produces 247,000 barrels of oil a day, one-tenth of Nigeria's output.

Elections are always like this in former French colonies. I will put the blame on useless France . Backwardness in all it’s colonies. Same thing happened in Togo,DRC Congo, now Gabon the next destination will be cameroon . I don’t doubt this . Biya is preparing his son . Cameroonain should be ready to see his son as thier leader all this is arranged by France so that our money stocked there by this useless and stupid leaders will never come back home. But let me tell you Biya paul your own will not work in cameroon it will fail you. Ali Bongo and his group got education from Biya Paul on how to rig the vote i know he is good at this . Very soon he will send his motion of support to Ali Bongo for being a good student in the elecion rigging school.
Ali Bongo you will not last long as your stupid Father in power. France is manipulating you people to feed it’s population with money from Africa. No Africa , France will crumble i know this well. Take example from Ghana and conduct cerdible election that will satisfy the people’s will
Wake up Africa .
We should always make it a point to remind ourselves that until we are able to set about dismantling and taking apart completely our systems of governance, all elections past or future were/are already predetermined and predictable via remote control from elsewhere.
It is in the interest of third parties in Europe, Americas, Asia & the Rest of the World to keep the AFRICAN Elites in power.
As educated as we presumably are [Africans], we are the only ones incidentally
who are unaware of the simple fact that, we have an " Embedded Programmable
Psychic Spying System [EPPSS] again controllable via remote which is capable of
not only monitoring all our mental and physical activities, but equally
capable of determining how we are going to govern ourselves and exist.
Black man curse! African shame! Babylon hypocrites!
Yesterday Bongo died in the heat of the mischievous Babylon corruption probe. Today, Bongo questionably triumps in the mischievous Gabonese presidential poll. Conclusion, he never died, and the same mystery Babylon is the masterminding element. What a disgrace for humanity! But make no mistake! Cameroon, a dynasty? Perish the thought! The post Biya Unity Palace shall be hot like a blast furnace.
