Gabon, officially the Gabonese Republic, is a country in west central
Africa. It borders on Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Republic of the
Congo and the Gulf of Guinea. Since its independence from France
on August 17, 1960, the Republic has been ruled by only two autocratic
Presidents; the incumbent El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba has been in
power since 1967 and is currently (2007) Africa's longest-serving
Head of State. Gabon introduced a multiparty system and a new democratic
constitution in the early 1990s that allowed for a more transparent
electoral process and for reforms of governmental institutions.
