The recently inaugurated military leader of Gabon, who assumed power through a coup last week, has engaged in talks with a mediator dispatched by central African countries.
This development occurred a day after the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) suspended Gabon from its membership.
State television did not disclose specific details about the meeting between General Brice Oligui Nguema and Faustin-Archange Touadéra, the president of the Central African Republic.
During his swearing-in ceremony on Monday, Gen Nguema pledged to conduct equitable elections and reinstate civilian governance, although he did not specify a timeline for these actions.
