Kelly Ondo Obiang
Kelly Ondo Obiang is a former lieutenant of the Gabonese Republican Guard who was involved in a failed coup attempt on January 7, 2019. Following the coup, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined for his role in the incident. His case has garnered significant attention, particularly from his home community, which has been advocating for his release. Recently, President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema expressed his desire to see Obiang free but stated that he is constrained by legal frameworks that prevent him from acting unilaterally. The president has indicated that he hopes to include Obiang's name in a future presidential pardon, highlighting a complex interplay of loyalty and legal obligation within the context of Gabon’s political landscape.
