AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Oil Rig Disaster: Borr Drilling says a fourth body has been recovered from the sunken Prospector 5 off Gabon, with one person still missing. Of 115 people aboard, 110 were rescued. An independent investigation is planned. Digital Access: Gabon plans to license Starlink and Eutelsat within months to reach remote areas; more than 200 villages still lack internet access. The announcement follows the launch of 5G services in October. Diplomacy: President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema’s visit to Congo to lay a wreath at Édith Lucie Bongo Ondimba’s grave may help ease strained ties between Libreville and Brazzaville. Commonwealth: Ministers removed Gabon from the group’s formal agenda, citing progress in restoring elected constitutional government, while urging continued work on democratic institutions and civil liberties. Everyday Finance: Old CFA franc coins are no longer legal tender in Gabon and five other CEMAC countries, but can be exchanged through July 2027. Travel: Gabonese citizens are among 12 African nationalities eligible to apply for Danish tourist visas without a host.
