Gabonese President, Ali Bongo has returned home, after a three-month medical leave during which a coup attempt was thwarted.
His return comes a week after a small military group took over the state radio station.
The move to grab power was quickly halted, but exposed growing frustration in the oil-producing country, over President Bongo’s secretive absence.
Mr. Bongo suffered stroke during a conference in Saudi Arabia last October and was flown to Morocco in November for further treatment.
He has appeared in television clips in recent weeks, including a New Year’s address in which he slurred his speech and appeared unable to move his right arm.
It is not clear if he can walk.
Mr. Bongo appointed a new government on Saturday in an apparent effort to shore up his political base, including the nomination of Julien Nkoghe Bekale as Prime Minister.
The new government will be sworn-in today.
