"Gabon is not on a good track. Election observers... report the possibility of violence during the election period."

"We cannot let ourselves be pushed into a war with Russia because there is a historic grudge that is going on among those people."

"Our championing of a successful election for free, fair, and violence-free election puts governments on notice that we mean what we say about democracy, we will be watching and watching carefully."
