Gabon security forces have fired tear gas and arrested dozens of supporters of opposition leader Andre Mba Obame at a protest in the capital Libreville.
"There was tear gas fired. There have been people injured and about 30 arrests," Michel Ongoundou, appointed defense minister in the "government" that Obame controversially declared on Tuesday, said about clashes that erupted on Thursday, AFP reported.
"We are no less brave than the Ivorians... We are no less brave than the Tunisians. History is on the march, let's go!," declared the former minister, naming key posts in what he called Gabon's legitimate government.

On the main link to PressTV for this article it says Obame was inspired by the events in Tunisia and Ivory Coast. Okay so this means another nation has come under the influence of the Tunisian Revolution, it is spreading throughout Africa and the Middle East. Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Lebanon, now Gabon. This is pretty serious!

Crazy stuff.
Looks like the world is on fire right now, especially the more despotic governments.
Hopefully this will keep spreading.
I will be honest.
I would love to see every government on Earth get replaced.
But thats just me. I can't stand corruption, fraud, theft, or murder.
I know that replacing these governments won't exactly fix anything.
But in the meantime, it's nice to see the criminals get scared and scramble to the nearest jet for a hasty escape.
Well worth the trouble.
