Gabon justice minister resigns over disputed presidential election
KINSHASA, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Gabon's justice minister, Seraphin Moundounga, resigned on Monday in protest over the re-election of President Ali Bongo, which has triggered accusations of fraud and streets riots that have killed at least six people.
"Having noticed that the government was not responding to concerns about the need for peace and for the consolidation of democracy, I decided to...step down from my functions as a member of government," Moundounga told Radio France Internationale. (Reporting By Aaron Ross; Editing by Angus MacSwan)
