Au PK8 avec la Première Dame @Sylviabongo & plusieurs ministres, je suis venu exprimer ma compassion aux familles des victimes & soutenir les populations.

The President has therefore instructed the government members to find ad hoc solutions to solve these problems. “Everything must be done to prevent such a tragedy, which is not the result of fatality, to happen again in Gabon. I have sent clear and strong directives to the Government,” he said.
Support measures have been put in place to help bereaved compatriots and to relocate “people potentially in danger” as soon as possible.
