Last update: 11 hours agoFranco-Gabonese Deals: President Brice Oligui Nguema’s state visit to France kicked off with three strategic agreements, including a manganese push with Eramet/Comilog to process up to 700,000 tonnes of ore annually by end-2031, as Libreville targets full local processing before export from January 2029, alongside accords on security, water and energy. Mining Value Chain Jobs: Eramet says the MoU also supports new industrial projects, a local biochar sector, and a “Made in Gabon” seed fund aimed at creating 3,000 industrial jobs. Diplomatic Pressure on Opposition: As Macron meets Oligui, Bilie-By-Nze’s lawyers are urging France to use its influence over the detained opposition figure, citing alleged degrading conditions and calling the case politically motivated. Football Leadership: Gabon named French-born Sébastien Migne as head coach for AFCON qualification, starting in September against Morocco and Niger. eVisa Fees: Gabon published eVisa charges for single and multiple entry and warned applicants not to travel before their approved arrival date.
