2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt
On 7 January 2019, members of the Armed Forces of Gabon announced a coup d'état in Gabon. Military officers claimed that they had ousted President Ali Bongo, who was re-elected in 2016 after a controversial election and protests. During the absence of Ali Bongo, who was receiving medical treatment in Morocco, armed rebels in the capital city Libreville took hostages and declared that they had established a "National Restoration Council" to "restore democracy in Gabon". Widespread Internet outages occurred throughout the country, though it is unknown whether the Internet was shut down by the rebels themselves or by civilians. Gabon's government later declared that it had reasserted control.


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt
Additionally on 6 January 2019, a day before the coup attempt, American President Donald Trump sent 80 US troops to Gabon amid fears of violent protests in the nearby Democratic Republic of the Congo.


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt, Developments
The military spokesman and leader of Patriotic Movement of the Defence and Security Forces of Gabon, Lieutenant Kelly Ondo Obiang, stated on national radio and state television on early Monday morning that he and his supporters were disappointed by President Ali Bongo’s message to the nation on New Year's Eve, calling it a "relentless attempt to cling onto power" and saying it "reinforced doubts about the president's ability to continue to carry out of the responsibilities of his office". Obiang also claimed they were setting up a "National Restoration Council...[for] restoring democracy" in Gabon. A nationwide internet disruption was detected by global internet observatory NetBlocks starting at approximately 7:00 am UTC. Among other things, Obiang delivered the following message (in French) on national radio:


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt, Developments
"The eagerly awaited day has arrived when the army has decided to put itself on the side of the people in order to save Gabon from chaos... If you are eating, stop; if you are having a drink, stop; if you are sleeping, wake up. Wake up your neighbours ... rise up as one and take control of the street."


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt, Developments
At the time of the coup, on 7 January, President Bongo was receiving unrelated medical treatment in Morocco; he had been out of the country for about two months. President Bongo had suffered a stroke while in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in October; his recorded New Year's wishes were the first time he had spoken in public since then.


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt, Developments
The pro-coup forces seized control of the national broadcaster Radio Télévision Gabonaise. Gabon's Republican Guard deployed various armoured vehicles throughout the capital, including Nexter Aravis MRAPs, a type not previously known to have been in the Gabonese Military's inventory. The coup attempt was put down by 10:30 am after the Gabonese Gendarmerie Intervention Group assaulted the Radio Télévision Gabonaise in which the pro-coup forces were holed up. Two pro-coup soldiers were killed in the assault. Officers involved in the coup took hostages which have since been released by Gabonese officials.


2019 Gabonese coup d'état attempt, Developments
Hours after the coup announcement, government officials stated that the situation was "under control" with rebels arrested or on the run; two of the rebels were shot dead and Lieutenant Obiang was reported under arrest. NetBlocks observed that internet connectivity was briefly (though partially) restored across Gabon by 10:00 am UTC before falling back offline, and only returning fully 11:00 am the next day. Security Minister Guy-Bertrand Mapangou stated that the eight surviving rebels were handed over to the public prosecutor. The government of Gabon announced that President Bongo would be returning to the country "very soon".


2019 Gabonese protests
The 2019 Gabonese protests were mass demonstrations and strike movements by teachers, university students and workers at schools in Gabon against new laws, mainly a new scholarship reform and university grants. Weeks of student protests hit the country, mainly bloodless and largely nonviolent. Massive street protests against further reforms spread to major cities surrounding the capital, Libreville. Protesters marched in April 2019, leading to protest rallies and inspiration of student protests in other cities. In response to the mass protest movement and wave of strike unrest, the government of Ali Bongo Ondimba withdrew from the law, shuttered schools and universities amid strikes.

2019 General Motors strike
The 2019 General Motors strike began September 15, 2019, with the walkout of 48,000 United Automobile Workers from some 50 plants in the United States. Demands by workers included increased job security, gateway for temporary workers to become permanent, better pay and retaining healthcare benefits.


2019 General Motors strike, Background
This strike constituted the first major labor action in the American automotive industry in a decade. The last strike coordinated by the UAW targeting General Motors occurred in 2007.


2019 General Motors strike, Background, Motivations
During the Great Recession and economic uncertainty that followed, unionized automotive workers accepted concessions to allow GM and other companies to recover. Though GM has since received large tax breaks and returned to profitability, worker compensation remained stagnant, and the UAW took umbrage with the company's decisions to shutter American facilities and move some jobs abroad.


2019 General Motors strike, Strike
The contract between the UAW and General Motors expired September 14, and the strike began at 11:59pm on Sunday, September 15, 2019. A two day difference between contract expiration and the beginning of a strike is unusually short, but likely motivated by the prolonged negotiations between management and the union. The strike involved 48,000 GM employees.


2019 General Motors strike, Strike
On September 17, GM stopped providing health insurance to 55,000 union members, forcing the UAW to pay for COBRA.

2019 General Motors strike, Strike
On October 16, It was announced that GM and The UAW agreed on a new labor contract that could end a month-long strike by 48,000 workers. Although the agreement between GM and UAW has not been officially approved, and workers who are still on strike said that they will wait until the deal has been approved completely before they return to their jobs. The new contract was ratified by UAW members on October 25, ending the strike


2019 General Motors strike, Impact
An analyst for Credit Suisse estimated GM could lose as much as $50 million each day the strike continues, while other analysts estimated daily losses could be as high as $100 million per day. GM's share of the automobile market has decreased from 30% in the late 1990s to 17% today, meaning the strike will likely have fewer implications for the economy at large when compared to labor actions in the past. The strike was also predicted to possibly lead to impacts on GM factories abroad, which rely on parts produced in American factories closed due to the strike, and on suppliers such as Canada-based Magna International.


2019 General Motors strike, Impact
At the beginning of the strike, GM had roughly 83 days' worth of inventory available for sale, temporarily insulating its supply chain from the impact of the strike.


2019 General Motors strike, Impact, Reactions
The Teamsters refused to deliver GM cars during the strike, in solidarity with GM workers.


2019 General Motors strike, Impact, Reactions
Members of the Trump administration, including Larry Kudlow and Peter Navarro allegedly intervened in negotiations. GM and the White House have both denied Kudlow and Navarro's involvement.

2019 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team, Game summaries, at Clemson
A surprisingly positive start for Tech almost immediately turned into a wreck very early in the game. Tech defended Clemson's high-powered offense very well, earning a 3 and out on Clemson's first drive. However, all of Tech's momentum evaporated when the ensuing Clemson punt was fumbled deep in Tech territory. Clemson recovered the fumble and scored, the first 7 of 28 points in the half. Tech was able to find its defensive footing in fits and starts, but big plays broke through for Clemson, including a 90-yard run on a delayed draw by Travis Etienne.
