of the residence and nothing. nothing exactly. i don't know what's, what's going on. so i'm calling you to make the noise to make noise. making noise re just now presidential and parliamentary elections took place in the bond last week. pensions were running high and mid fears of unrest after saturday's vote with international observers, claiming a lack of transparency in the process. on wednesday, the japanese election center confirm that incumbent president bunco officially won a 3rd term as president with 64.27 percent of the vote. the oil rich country has been under the bongo families rule since 1967. and while western countries have unanimously condemned the military over throwing a bond, some locals welcome the event as a liberation disorders from

a gabon shows locals taking to the streets in celebration after the president was to pose the military has assured, the former leader is safe and also shared a list of people who were arrested on allegations of fraud investments and other charges we heard from some locals who shared their thoughts on the recent developments. it does seem to be the country's doing well. i've been awake since 4 am and everything has been organized, so there is no violence. when we leave, leave fairville. we find that everything is supervised, we are finally liberated. i would say for me, this is the real independent. stay this on the other. we are liberated because we see it today as a liberation we demonstrated and the police were on our side. there were no clashes, it was quiet. we think these brave gentlemen who participated in this, especially us young gap in the students. we're happy because we want change

we're here at the so co. busy square of democracy, but we will now call this place to square freedom from august 30th. the companies are happy, we don't want outside interference. we don't want biased comments. we don't want people coming to lecture us. let's get more from local correspondent timothy. it'd be easier. timothy, what are the latest updates on the coo and good bon? yes, that's just condemnations of the crews coming from the world leaders, advocates that uses the united states, the united nations. be offered to you and you know, and by jeer, share the euro. can you done this just in a really long list of lead us around the world condemning the cool in the sure. and also was saying that the military leaders that have is that it must be

a plaintext general race to be the president of the transportation committee. so i thought that's what is happening there right now, but it's also important to note that some, you know, uh, the school this been some level of support, you know, yesterday and even today will stand reports from, from couple on from deeper feel of the capital of that country where citizens for demonstrating in support of the cool leaders, the web, the goes on social media, you know, so in military of man and military uniform, you know, amongst crowds of people would you believe in some of them are some of them have in handshakes with these people as some of them, even the hawkins, you know, the residential face is a kind of this, this is a kind of sentiment that people across africa are really not used to, you know, seeing military man among them. you know, extending, you know, uh, kind of claudia release as if. so it's, um,

one thing that goes to show is that the military here are being very tactical, you know, and it also goes to one word that has to be in the resumes and among the residents in the capital. and has to be in the ration, did they all say about, you know, they have been liberated from a really long rule. you know, by the bundle family to bundle family has been rolling since 1967. initially it was priced at the bottom was $55.00 our on our bundle was in charge of that country for more than 4 decades. and also he's passing in 2009 to saw in the alley, bundle to cove of power. and he had just been elected when states for a charge to the office, you know, and what was described as a controversial election on surface day about the election, latham credibility. and that was one of the reasons cited by the military leaders. awesome, you know, us as the reason for, you know,

of the opposing the president, but the military lead us there also said that the institution, our political economy and other factors that play the role in the season that they decided to make. now, as he mentioned, the gavin, these people are supportive of the recent events, at least many of them. what do you think are their hopes for the future, especially coupled against the fact that there could be intervention from the economic community of central african states? what we don't know, what could happen in the, in, in the coming days and what, what we do know is that right now these people feel the same stuff from the brace on the field. in fact, some of them have said, you know, in the interview just before now, but, you know, that august 30th should be declared democracy be a couple. and so basically they're trying to say about democracy had not paid off in all the years that the, you know, the country had um,

being on the democratic groups, you know, by the blogger family. so what is going to happen is that right in the coming days i. ready know that there's freedom to widespread content based on a back who in couple on and we're not starting to yet how the, the region, our body is going to come in, you know, or what a matter of april, based on the region. nobody would be, you know, i would want to carry out that, but what is that, is that a similar incident? they've just last month in these are, you know, where, of course i try to april fame and made an announcement about the was going to, you know, at a rest stop price. that's what i'm, i presume, isn't if it means they use up the, you know, the restarting, to the use of from military force. that plan has been widely criticized by many people saying that it would cost, you know, instability in the region. this is the same sex marriage that is being said right

now in couple on the european union for up front of mason said, but they were worried, you know, 5 of space of course in the after time reach and about basically straight to some level of instability in the region, so basically the sense samantha shit, you know, it's very similar to what happened to me. sure. yeah. so a lot happening in the region local, corresponding timothy a visa. thank you timothy us. and we spoke to policy analyst at development, re imagine we said the military coup in gabon differs from the situations in neighboring countries as there's a history of direct french intervention in the central african state to clean up on the new ways on the very surprising in the sense that if you go back in 2016, the election that was monitored, scroll down the back specialist and budget process of the elections. this is anita and suppose that and you just one on election. the 1st chance it gets to become of p, and we still continue the community not to be 64 percent of citizens who put them in

the water for him. and i think that's to see everything you need to know about the, let's say about going on under the director. the push is go on to investigate team on this funding. they will find so many issues of corruption and business mental phones on, on the to actually we offer many french compet companies, bills on tylenol deluxe. and it'll be interesting to see how it costs the economy, community or central african students. i'm going to respond to a copy of glasses, a blueprints, interesting that i've been shown that they're taking out. they're going from from the, from the region of blog is true of their experience intervention in couple. um i think it was very interesting how defense on all of the where would the rest of your members on august are the, are responding to the school? very likely the might take some form of some form of action. the queen component

is very different from the cool in other countries, and i think the sticks easily mean, but it is much higher forefront in particular that we now turn to another offer to a nation new share, which i also experienced a to last month. the country's, the leadership has reportedly given france just for days until september, 3rd, to withdraw all troops notifying all security agreements with paris. locals appear to be showing increasing hostility to the presence of french troops in the country . hundreds of women gathered outside an air base in the capital, demanding the withdrawal of all french troops from the facility, france as around $1500.00 troops in the year as part of a long term anti terror mission. they have rejected demands to leave the base as they say, the 2 government has no authority to issue such orders. local residents have been outraged by the refusal the way to make noise and save the beverage. you

would take weapons we have for women of 1st equipment is kitchen utensils, whatever is the work of the woman. and when she comes home, she takes her utensils that this is why we said that today. we do this with our own materials, whichever her position she always has us in hand. we're here to tell from the times have changed. they need to respect us. they need us, but they just don't want to respect us. back to me it's the order use of the bothers me. why are they going to refuse to leave? is their country? is their territory would wait until the roster for the presence know they came on the wrong because they have things to watch out for. you have a specific economic objective care bothered economy the or the, or we didn't call them when you are in the foreign territory. when things are not going well,

you have to leave on your own. we don't even meet the challenge. you get to the point of giving you an ultimate of the situation and these are a seems to have triggered a diplomatic earthquake with countries divided into blocks, supporting warning against the invasion of the country planned by equal loss. and some like molly and burkina faso expressed a readiness to flight for any here in case of invasion, 14 or fall, so has already approved sending a military contingent to the country to help fight terrorism. while another neighbor, algeria is trying to speed up the trends that a power proposing a 6 month transition plan for the country. despite the new leaders requesting 3 years news, your face has multiple sanctions, both from its african neighbors and former western partners because of the to the you now says it's considering new sanctions on the here. following the line of the western african block eco was,

which has impose economic and trouble restrictions on the country. according to the foreign policy chief work on new sanctions against the countries military leaders has already begun with foreign affairs minister set to give an update on thursday. however, the u. n. is sounding the alarm in the garage of stations on need. your urgent equal was to make an exception. so humanitarian supplies to the country where millions suffer from food and security. according to a recent report from the u. n. world food program, over 4000000 people we need here, are in need of humanitarian assistance. mostly women and children, while more than 3000000 are ready severely food and secure the land body warrens that around 90000 children are at risk of ongoing hungry of commodities. do not arrive in the country by early september, due to the sanctions news. your former colonial power, france was among the 1st to cut off aid to the country when the 2 took place. both

friends in the you don't recognize these years new leaders causing tensions between the sides with the french ambassador, ignoring amy's demands, to leave the country. we heard from civil society active as stand bashed on a law who says many an easier support the 2 and will continue to push for the french to leave their country to the preventative right. we have least more than a month under the sanctions to the effect our lives. we have become a new city on or dignity sovereignty of this year. where are those who are imposing these sanctions? now it is they who are shouting for the sanctions to be lifted. the share is with its people and its people are not going to suffer because of the sanctions. today we have the platforms through which we can lead our lives to such a situation. people don't regret that they have become engaged in this fight and

are ready to bear the consequences for achieving our goals. as for the destabilize ation of these year, we know very well, but in almost all cases, it's just blackmail. we don't want the stabilization in these year, even among the enemies of these year. there are those who don't want the stabilization. we share. my crone had to say that some of these allies, especially the us, are not in the same line, is france. anyway, it must be clear, there will be no destabilization of our country, please god, our country will remain and will develop further despite the people who wish to seem easier destabilized for their own interest. new share will grow and succeed. god willing. russia has vetoed a draft resolution to renew sanctions against molly. in a un security council meeting, calling them counter productive a severely scope. and we had convinced it as adopting the document as it is. the

point of giving this time to democracy have made an efficient demand to boys the sanctions regime would become to productive both volunteer and the efficiency of the sanctions regime. and for the value and peace process. the council in post sanctions on molly in 2017, to implement the 2015 piece agreements between the government and the rebels. the sanctions include asset freezes and travel bands for those who, according to you and experts, say the un experts, sanctions committee hender the implementation of the treaty. russia has proposed its own resolution to limit the sanctions on molly, which was abandoned by the security council. archie corresponded. caleb mauppin brings us more of the un security council vote was taken on a resolution. continuing sanction against molly and russia stepped forward to veto that resolution saying that this resolution that would have continued sanctions on any one who did not uphold the 2015 piece agreement,

was not being done in the interests of sheets as the russian and basset, or in advance of put it in the agreement was essentially put into effect without discussing it, with the molly side and was essentially jeopardize the ability of the un to work out agreements and result conflict in the country in the future. and you saw the just the, when you, despite the fact that we repeatedly asked for a constructive approach and a sense of a compromise to the rich chicks, the text did not in any way take into consideration the consent of them on the side or the russian federations position before the votes would clearly laid out our reasons. that's what behind all decisions develop against what didn't hide these views. now the western leaders made a point of them using their platform at the un security council to point fingers and level allegations at both russia and the wagner group. however,

the russian representative emphasized that their goal was to make sure that stability continued. not just in molly and in the entire region, and they saw the package of sanctions, which had been already requested to be over turned by molly authorities as being one sided and not in the interest of producing stability and defeating terrorism in the region. all of this comes as you and for us is and other regional forces are being withdrawn from molly in light of the change in leadership in the country. now that the military leads and the political situation in mileage molly is rapidly changing. we see a situation where russia has detailed the sanctions that have been imposed on the country and would have continued as a result of the 2015 resolution. russian energy supplies are in high demand and the european union reports say,

with the you importing record volumes of russian liquefied gas. according to the latest findings, that's us by brussels plan to cut down dependency on russian fossil fuels are to contributor rachel mars and gives us her take. hi europe and russian energy. it's a tale of for been in love and despite brussels, loudly announcing to the whole world fail breakup with and totally replace russian fossil fuels by 2027. apparently b. u has been playing footsie under the table with russian gas, while many just assume that the relationship totally flew up along with the north stream pipeline network that carried rushing gas directly into europe. but now it turns out that russia is the 2nd top provider of liquefied natural gas to the u. the 1st, the united states, which was quick to get in there to replace north stream pipeline gas from russia. kind of like a guy who tells you to break up with your know good partner and then asked to out on a date,

according to western and g. o is which has been hiding out in the bush with binoculars watching brussels get down and dirty with brushing liquefied natural gas . the e u is now import a 40 percent more l n g, then imported from russia back in 2021 before the ukraine. complex replacing some of that russian pipeline gas with russian super chilled l. n. g gas. it's shocking that countries in the you have worked so hard to wind them selves of pipe to russian fossil gas need to replace it with the shipped equivalent. it doesn't matter if it comes from a pipeline or boat, it still means european companies ascending billions to pollutants will chest because we can, ukraine has given western angio is the perfect pre tax for a convergence of causes. they go after russian fossil fuels for ukraine and also their western partners. corporations like to frances total, for example, in some cases. but it also serves their longstanding climate change agenda. and

brussels itself has said that it's the perfect time with all of this going on to go all in on renewables that we can and should get the redirection guess completely as soon as possible. still keeping in mind our security of supply, i encourage all member states and all companies to stop by and rushing. ellen g, a note to sign any, you guess contracts with russia, once the existing contracts have expired. yeah, switch everyone's all the great example of green germany where they're already dismantling a wind farm to expand a coal mine sounds like a resounding success when it comes to energy strategy. apparently staying in belgium, in particular, we're not integrating fantasy since they're now the 2 top importers in the entire world of russian l. n. g, behind only china. that's in the 1st 7 months of this year, according to the n g o,

global witness. and europe is not the only one bad, nothing russian public walk quietly, getting its fix from moscow. japan has followed the west fleet and adopting anti russian sanctions, including trade sanctions. while at the same time, just last month, it increased its imports of russian grain by this 5679 percent compared to the same time last year. and in the 1st 6 months of this year, so a bigger chunk of time, that figure was just under 510 percent. you're on here. that's according to the japanese government's own figures. so for all the public rejection of russia and its exports, it looks like breaking up, especially for europe, is really hard to do. hunger is top diplomats as that with huge pressure in the west to support ukraine. anyone calling for peace is immediately branded a kremlin stooge, or the meetings,

or the foreign affairs council. when we have discussed a war or an armed conflict situation, some of that far away was the major approach to ours was that we have the mended. the stakeholders of the given the war on conflict to resolve this issue or that issue on a peaceful basis to seats around the negotiating table and stuff i think. and unfortunately when a board face place on our own continent, we are not able to follow a visa approach of ours. because once you speak strongly about the needs for immediate these ceasefire, these thoughts, whatever you are immediately being judged and um, and stigmatized as a russian spy. and you know, propaganda stuff crammed in the front with you, whatever. so let's take a look at a few examples. hunger is prime,

minister was called pro, put in for maintaining his country's independence, stands on the ukraine conflict. similarly, former french president nicholas our cozy one, celebrated by the us media, is now being announced for suggesting the conflict. we resolved diplomatically, even the pope was and spared, as he was recently condemned for addressing a group of catholic teams in russia for simply saying they should be proud of their culture. so your research fellow at the global policy institute, georgia and wiley, said european politicians turn the russian spy label to shut down any debates that don't have any other arguments to offer of this is a war that should never have taken place. this is the rule that makes absolutely no sense to continue with and the people who want to continue the war of course have their own.
