Despite political tension, Gabon insists it will host the
African Cup of Nations, just one month ahead of the opening ceremony.
The championship is due to run from January 14 to
February 5 next year but was thrown into doubt after violence broke out
following President Ali Bongo’s controversial re-election in August.
There has been claims that the football
tournament be moved to a different country, following rioting in Gabon.
Four cities will host the tournament and
unrest was reported in at least two of them including Oyem, the
northern city close to Cameroon, where delays in work on the football
stadium are causing problems.
