LIBREVILLE (AFP) - The public prosecutor for the Gabonese capital Libreville vowed Monday that the country's main opposition leader, Andre Mba Obame, would be arrested after a violent protest last week.
"Justice is slow but sure. I assure you that Mr Mba Obame will be arrested," prosecutor Sidonie-Flore Ouwe told journalists. Supporters of Mba Obame, who claims he won a 2009 election and is Gabon's legitimate president, clashed with police Wednesday when they broke up an unauthorised protest.
