Around 92 per cent of these people have recovered. This is good news.

Gabon will join a handful of African countries to legally allow homosexuality.

The bill if assented to by the president will expunge a 2019 law that criminalised homosexuality, stipulating a six months jail term and sizeable fine for gay sex.

Reports by such groups in other African countries have routinely alleged that the LGBT community have been forced underground due to harassment from anti-gay elements in their societies and actions of law enforcement.
