European Union defence ministers are to discuss the situation in Gabon, the body’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said.
“If this is confirmed, it is another military coup which increases instability in the whole region,” the Reuters news agency quotes Mr Borrell as saying speaking to a meeting of EU defence ministers in Toledo, Spain.
“The whole area, starting with Central African Republic, then Mali, then Burkina Faso, now Niger, maybe Gabon, it’s in a very difficult situation and certainly the ministers… have to have a deep thought on what is going on there and how we can improve our policy in respect with these countries,” he said.
