Gabon leader Ali Bongo greatly improved: presidency
The leader, who was admitted to a hospital in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... late last month, is "in a phase of recovering all his functions", spokesperson Ike Ngouni said in an official statement on Sunday. Bongo was in the kingdom's capital, Riyadh, to attend an investment summit and speak alongside other leaders but was not seen during the discussion. Ngouni said the president was transferred to King Faisal hospital and "has received all the needed support", adding that "he is in the process of "recovering most of his functions". "Ali Bongo ... continues to carry out his duties. The institutions of our Republic, therefore, function today perfectly in the strict respect of the constitution," the statement said. Lack of official news, along with memories of the secrecy that surrounded the death of the president's father, Omar Bongo, in office in 2009 has led to increased speculation about his health.
