Addis Ababa, Jan 7 (Prensa Latina) The African Union today condemned the attempt of coup d''état perpetrated by the military in Gabon.
We declare the total repudiation of the attempted coup in Gabon, said Moussa Faki Mahamat, president of the African Union Commission, through a brief communication on the social network Twitter.
