Gabon's Bongo opens summit after stroke
Bongo, 60, gave a roughly four-minute speech to launch a gathering of the 11-nation Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).
Nearly two dozen people, some of them in the inner circle of power, have been ousted from office, arrested or given other duties.
Gabonese President Ali Bongo Ondimba on Wednesday completed a decade in office, vowing to push ahead with economic reforms and an anti-corruption drive despite questions over his health after suffering a stroke nearly a year ago.
Bongo suffered a stroke while at a conference in Saudi Arabia on 24 October, sources told Reuters.
