Gabon President 'To Be Transferred To London'

Gabonese President Ali Bongo will soon be transferred from hospital in Saudi Aradia to the UK capital, the magazine Jeune Afrique is reporting.

Some reports said the 59-year-old had suffered a stroke when he was on a visit to the Saudi capital Riyadh last month.

Sources told Jeune Afrique that he was now well enough to travel and was expected to receive treatment at a specialised medical centre in London.

A convalescence in Morocco was considered, but London has been settled upon, it reports.
