Gabon opposition supporters’ rampage through Libreville streets

Date: Apr 13, 2015

Opposition supporters in Gabon have rampaged through the streets of the capital, Libreville, burning cars and setting fire to the embassy of Benin, following the death of a senior opposition leader yesterday.

Andre Mba Obame, once one of Gabon's leading opposition figures, died in neighbouring Cameroon. A group of supporters accused the government of poisoning Mba Obame. No cause of death was given in a statement from the National Union which Mba Obame joined not long after the 2009 election.
