"The Committee for the Transition and Restoration of Institutions has adopted a decision with immediate effect to open land, sea and air borders starting September 2, 2023," the military said in a statement that was read on air the Gabon 24 channel.
The military added that given the curfew from 6 p.m. - 6 a.m. (17:00 - 05:00 GMT), those arriving in Gabon or wishing to leave the country are allowed to travel with a travel document.
On Wednesday, ousted Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba was reelected as the country's head for a third term. The Gabonese military later delivered a televised address, declaring the election results canceled and all institutions dissolved. The president has since been placed under house arrest, while his son has been detained, media reported.
