Gabon is a country located on the west coast of Central Africa. It is bordered by Cameroon to the north, the Republic of the Congo to the east and south, and the Gulf of Guinea to the west. The country has a population of approximately 2 million people and is rich in natural resources, including oil, timber, and minerals.
Political power in Gabon has historically been concentrated in the hands of a small elite, and the country has a long history of authoritarian rule. However, in recent years there have been efforts to promote democracy and political reform. The current president, Ali Bongo Ondimba, has been in office since 2009 and is the son of the former president, Omar Bongo, who ruled Gabon for more than four decades until his death in 2009.
Gabon is a member of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS) and the African Union (AU), and it has generally had good relations with other countries in the region. However, the country has faced challenges related to corruption, economic inequality, and environmental degradation. In particular, the reliance on oil exports has made the country vulnerable to fluctuations in global energy prices, and there have been concerns about the environmental impact of oil development.
