TOPSHOT - Supporters of Gabonese opposition leader Jean Ping face security forces (unseen) blocking the demonstration trying to reach the electoral commission in Libreville on August 31, 2016, as part of a protest sparked after Gabon's president Ali Bongo was declared winner of last weekend's contested election.
Protesters shouting "Ali must go!" tried to storm the offices of the election commission shortly after authorities announced his re-election by a narrow majority. Bongo won by a narrow 5,594 votes of a total 627,805 registered voters. Turnout was 59.46 percent nationwide but soared to 99.93 percent in one of the country's nine provinces -- the Haut-Ogooue, heartland of Bongo's Teke ethnic group -- in a result hotly contested by the opposition. / AFP / MARCO LONGARI (Photo credit should read MARCO LONGARI/AFP/Getty Images)
