Gabon: Activists plan anti-French protest in Libreville May 24

Event

Supporters of the Front Patriotique Gabonais party have called for a protest near the French military camp, Camp de Gaulle, in Libreville from 11:00 May 24. Participants intend to gather at the nearby Camp de Gaulle crossroads and march through the camp's Allibadeng entrance to denounce the defense accord with France and demand the departure of the French army stationed in the country.

Business and travel disruptions are likely in the area during the rally. Security personnel will likely deploy to monitor the event. Violence is unlikely, but cannot be discounted entirely.

Advice

Allow additional time to reach destinations near the rally venue May 24. Reconfirm all public transportation services and business appointments in the area.
