Gabon coup: Shutdown leaves truck drivers stranded at border crossing

Dozens of trucks, taxis and other vehicles were stranded at Cameroon’s border with Gabon, a day after Gabon closed its borders indefinitely following the coup. Also, European Union’s (EU) foreign policy chief Josep Borrell told reporters on Thursday that there was no plan to evacuate EU citizens from Gabon for the time being, after the Central African country’s military leaders overthrew President Ali Bongo.
