Location: Gabon
Event: Possible anti-government activity.
Following media reports of anti-government activity and gunshots fired in Libreville early this morning, the Embassy has advised the family members of U.S. citizen employees and local staff members to remain in their homes today. Out of an abundance of caution as we further assess the situation, the Embassy has asked the families of U.S. citizen employees to keep their children at home from school tomorrow.
The Embassy is monitoring the situation and will send updated alerts as additional information becomes available.
