A coup in Gabon: The ousted leader is detained and pleas for his immediate release while military leaders confirm his house arrest. People are taking to the streets across Gabon to hail the military waving the national flag and cheering an army convoy as it moves past. The overthrown leader's campaign billboards were seen being defaced too. It comes as the EU's reportedly planning a so-called 'military-civilian mission' in West Africa later this year citing anti-terror operations but the proposed move's not going down well with locals.
