With this, Gabon can no longer participate in any activities of the AU, its organs and institutions.
The decision was taken at a meeting which was chaired by African Union commissioner for political affairs, Mr. Bankole Adeoye of Nigeria, and the current holder of the council’s rotating chair, Burundi’s Ambassador Willy Nyamitwe.
