All general secretaries, ministerial offices, director generals and officials of state services have been instructed “to ensure in the immediate future the effective resumption of work and continuity of the functioning of all public services”, the spokesman said.
Gabon will also respect all its commitments at home and abroad, the army chiefs pledged.
