Gabon justice minister resigns, calls for vote recount

Gabon's justice minister resigned Monday over the government's refusal to recount controversial ballots that saw violent protests and allegations of fraud after the president was re-elected by a slim margin. Justice Minister Seraphin Moundounga said he made the decision in the face of the government of President Ali Bongo Ondimba's "stubborn refusal" to recount the vote.
