Gabon FM Dies of Heart Attack at Government Meeting

 

Rabat - Gabon Foreign Affairs Minister Michael Moussa Adamo died of a heart attack during a government meeting on Friday.

Gabon President Ali Bongo Ondimba mourned the death of Adamo, saying: “He was a very great diplomat, a true statesman.”

“For me, he was first of all a friend, loyal and faithful, on whom I could always count. This is a huge loss for Gabon. RIP,” Ondimba wrote on Twitter.

A brief statement from the Gabonese government said that Adamo was the “victim of a heart attack.”

“Despite the efforts of specialists,” the official did not survive the heart attack that claimed his life during a government meeting on Friday, the government noted.

“He sat down at the start of the Council of Ministers and started to feel bad,” a source close to the president’s office told AFP.

An ambulance took the 62-year-old foreign minister to a military hospital while he was “unconscious.”

He died shortly this afternoon at the hospital, where he was placed in intensive care.

Adamo was appointed as chief of staff to the minister of Defense in 2000.

Adamo held several other positions, including Gabon’s ambassador to the US, adviser in the presidential palace, minister of defense, and foreign minister.
