Gabon’s President Ali Bongo called on "friends" of Gabon "all over the world" to “make noise” as a coup attempt was under way in the West African country, saying he was speaking from detention in his residence.

Bongo appeared in a video seated in a chair with a bookshelf behind him. It was his first public appearance since soldiers announced Wednesday on state television that they were “ending his regime”.

Bongo said he was at his residence and that his wife and son were in different places.
