AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Gabon Rights Alarm: A fresh wave of criticism is building over Gabon’s indefinite social media clampdown, with rights groups calling it a “blatant disregard” for freedom of expression as VPN use surged and authorities reportedly confiscated phones at road checkpoints. Ocean Access & Conservation: A new commentary argues marine protection will stay weak unless people can actually experience the ocean—especially those on remote islands, older people, and people with disabilities. Africa CEO Forum Momentum: Nigeria’s Tinubu told the Africa CEO Forum in Kigali that reforms are positioning the country to attract nearly $20bn in FDI in 2026, pushing a value-add agenda. Culture on the Move: Cannes is spotlighting African cinema again, while Gabon’s regional cultural ties echo through wider Africa-France partnership talk and community art events like Juneteenth celebrations abroad. Gabon Context: The week also included debate on participatory mapping in conservation—highlighting how local knowledge can challenge “empty forest” narratives.
