Africa's longest-serving leader, President Omar Bongo of Gabon, has died at the age of 73, French media say.
Mr Bongo had been treated in a clinic in the Spanish city of Barcelona. He was reported to have cancer, and had suspended his activities in May.

Sadly, he died rather peacefully. I'm starting to doubt the whole "you reap what you sow" dogma.

| Well it appears Ali Bongo may take over the mantle from his father who incidentally, with the exception of monarchies, was not only Africa's longest-serving leader, but the world's longest serving leader as well. |
