Gabon's deposed leader freed and allowed overseas medical trip as junta promises transition

Military junta in Gabon has freed ousted president Ali Bongo Ondimba from house arrest and allowed him to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Bongo's health condition is unknown, but he previously suffered a stroke in 2018 that affected his ability to govern.
Coup leader Gen. Brice Oligui Nguema has met with authorities and promised infrastructure development and peaceful transition.
UN and regional organizations offer support to Gabon in restoring constitutional order after disputed election.
No timeline given yet for proposed elections, as junta focuses on development issues like healthcare and education.
