Gabon’s President Ali Bongo has been sworn in for a second seven-year term following disputed elections in which a number of people died.
The inauguration comes three days after the Constitutional Court rejected the opposition’s demands for a recount.
Ali Bongo – whose father, Omar Bongo, was president for four decades – officially won the poll by fewer than 6,000 votes.
