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.
"I feel good. And feeling better and better each day," Bongo said in an interview published on Wednesday in the pro-government daily, l'Union.
