General Brice Oligui Nguema, the leader of the recent military coup in Gabon, has been sworn in as the interim head of state. He pledged to protect the republic and democracy, promised free and transparent elections after the transition, and offered amnesty to political offenders. A military parade marked the ceremony in Libreville.

The coup occurred on August 30, resulting in the detainment of President Ali Bongo Ondimba and the suspension of official laws, election results, and border closures. General Nguema held meetings with various stakeholders to address concerns.

Ali Bongo Ondimba had been in power since 2009, succeeding a 41-year rule by Omar Bongo Ondimba, with allegations of electoral fraud in the recent election.

Trump Unveils $175B ‘Golden Dome’ Missile Defense Project

0

Former US President Donald Trump announced the launch of a new missile defense shield called “Golden Dome,” aimed at countering hypersonic and ballistic threats from land, sea, and space. The $175 billion project will feature AI-supported radar systems and space-based technologies, with an initial budget of $25 billion.

Trump called the system a continuation of Reagan’s 1980s “Star Wars” initiative, saying, “This technology is far beyond anything that has been done before.” Canada has shown interest in joining, potentially paving the way for NATO integration.

General Goodline from the Space Force will oversee the project. Trump emphasized the system’s strategic, economic, and industrial value, stating, “This is not an arms race—it’s a deterrent shield for future generations.”
