Gabon to manufacture military uniforms locally soon

The Gabonese National Assembly’s Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, National Defense, and Regional Integration Committee has reviewed a draft law establishing a facility dedicated to producing uniforms for the country’s defense and security forces. Presented by the Minister of State for National Defense, Brigitte Onkanowa, the proposal aims to build Gabon’s first industrial capacity for locally manufacturing military attire—currently relying heavily on imports. This move aligns with the nation’s broader goal of enhancing self-sufficiency in military logistics.
