The death of Edith Lucie Bongo was announced on state television by Presidency spokesman Robert Orango Berre. He gave no details about the cause of her death. She had spent weeks in a hospital in Morocco's capital Rabat, according to diplomatic sources and media reports. Edith Bongo was the daughter of President Denis Sassou Nguesso of neighboring Republic of Congo, and represented Nguesso's close alliance with Bongo, Africa's longest-serving leader who has ruled Gabon since 1967. The two oil-producing countries enjoy significant regional influence and close ties with the political establishment in former colonial power France. Both leaders have been targeted by legal action brought in France by anti-corruption campaigners who say their personal property portfolios could not be financed through their official earnings. Both have denied wrongdoing. (Writing by Alistair Thomson; Editing by Katie Nguyen) © Thomson Reuters 2009 All rights reserved Share: Del.icio.us Digg Mixx Yahoo!
