Equatorial African nation (5)

I believe the answer is:

gabon

(Other definitions for gabon that I've seen before include "African country, capital Libreville" , "West African country" , "W. African country" , "state of Africa" , "Republic on the west coast of Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
