The opposition hopes to get an invitation from the junta to discuss the country's transition plan but it had not received anything yet, a spokesperson from the main opposition group says.
Gabon's main opposition group, Alternance 2023, has urged the international community to encourage the junta that overthrew President Ali Bongo this week to hand power back to civilians.
"We were happy that Ali Bongo was overthrown but ... we hope that the international community will stand up in favour of the Republic and the democratic order in Gabon by asking the military to give back the power to the civilians," Alexandra Pangha, spokesperson for Alternance 2023 leader Albert Ondo Ossa, told the BBC on Friday.
She said that the junta's plan to inaugurate General Brice Oligui Nguema as head of state on Monday was"absurd". Pangha said the opposition hoped to get an invitation from the junta to discuss the Central African country's transition plan but said it had not received anything yet.
