Luanda — Gabon’s ousted former president Ali Bongo has flown to Angola with his wife and son, who had been freed almost two years after being detained following a coup.

The family were welcomed “for humanitarian reasons”, presidency spokesperson Luis Fernando said. “They will then decide what they want to do, in other words, which country they want to go and live in as exiles,” he added.
