[00:02:19] PCT militants, on the other side, the
[00:02:22] MAR militants, in any case, warmly
[00:02:26] greet the departure of the Head of State, The
[00:02:30] President,
[00:02:33] we have seen, we see
[00:02:36] Ordelber Malunga, director of therefore the Kimbanguist fanfare which
[00:02:38] accompanies the President of the Republic, let us remember that the
[00:02:42] Kimbanguist fanfare was born in Brazzaville in
[00:02:47] Pronar, an organ of the Ministry of 1964 under President Alphonse Massamba and chance
[00:02:51] does not exist, the Kimbanguists also devote themselves to
[00:02:55] agro-pastoral activities with
[00:02:57] the Kunzulu site. it's
[00:03:00] in
[00:03:04] a few kilometers from Brazzaville in Lille
[00:03:06] France and
[00:03:08] Tokabeka,
[00:03:17] here is a very
[00:03:20] on aspects related to the development of beautiful image that we see here Sergio Buno Meneata, the head of
[00:03:25] State, hats off to the Head of state who is
[00:03:26] State, in any case bravo, visibly satisfied with this activity, this great.
[00:03:30] activity which allowed him in any case to
[00:03:33] savor through this visit, through his
[00:03:37] presence in any case, these local products,
[00:03:40] these Made in Congo products, coming from the lands of
[00:03:44] our country, the lands of our ancestors, which
[00:03:49] received reminds national and international opinion, how much Congo
[00:03:52] has
[00:03:56] today it is a reality thanks to the Head of also given through its land and its wealth coming from its natural
[00:04:00] resources, the Head of State has visited almost all the
[00:04:03] stands erected here,
[00:04:05] restoration of the starting of course with the stands dedicated to
[00:04:09] training, to
[00:04:11] had exhibitions of research, passing through
[00:04:13] plant
[00:04:16] theme "Electricity, engine of production, animal production, and
[00:04:19] so on and let's not forget that for during this
[00:04:23] fair, he will not only have to
[00:04:26] come and look, to savor
[00:04:29] advisor to the Head of State in charge of otherwise to obtain products that are exposed here but also for
[00:04:32] those who have the will to be able to
[00:04:35] extend their knowledge in terms of agricultural
[00:04:38] knowledge to be able to be trained during these two
[00:04:42] weeks since the training courses are
[00:04:45] free and open to
[00:04:47] the same ambition: to make everyone, to all willing people who would
[00:04:50] in any case uh come and benefit from this
[00:04:53] initiative of the highest level of the state, an
[00:04:57] initiative carried by the President of the Republic since we
[00:05:00] are now in the 2nd
[00:05:03] Leaders of Congo, the DG of edition, the first one took place 6 months ago in February last, and we
[00:05:07] are happy to note that this project which was launched by the Head of
[00:05:10] State, has accelerated, Serge Bunome
[00:05:14] Nata amplifies with this 2nd
[00:05:17] since the second
[00:05:20] edition has a very particular feature which
[00:05:23] consists of having a certain added value that we didn't have in the first
[00:05:27] edition, there are training courses, there
[00:05:30] is the transfer of skills in terms of
[00:05:33] research, technology and innovation and
[00:05:36] also the plethora in any case of
[00:05:39] productions that are presented here during the... 2nd
[00:05:42] edition, well, all's well that ends
[00:05:46] well, since the initiator of the project is leaving the
[00:05:49] premises, which announces the
[00:06:14] gathered all along the road accompanying the Head of State,
[00:06:18] they have forgotten distance, they have forgotten
[00:06:21] the constraints of time, they have forgotten their daily
[00:06:25] activities, they wanted to be there to experience this
[00:06:29] event and to see first-hand what is happening here
[00:06:32] in Guitele because it is an event that will remain
[00:06:36] forever etched, etched in any
[00:06:39] the history of agricultural development of our country.
[00:06:45] there is a particularity to note, you will
[00:06:49] State in any case uh
[00:06:53] makes every effort to open up uh
[00:06:56] areas considered really uh
[00:07:00] difficult to access here we
[00:07:03] are in Bambou Mingali it is about fifty kilometers
[00:07:06] from Brazzaville North he comes therefore to erect in the
[00:07:10] when he actually makes a jewel. the
[00:07:12] expo park of
[00:07:16] Agriculture which uh hosts the
[00:07:19] different editions uh of the great agricultural fair and this
[00:07:23] ultimately allows to open
[00:07:26] to connect uh this locality to the rest of
[00:07:29] Congo and the world, he has always done it, we remember in the
[00:07:33] 80s, we are in 83, the President of the
[00:07:35] Republic will have a high-end
[00:07:38] studio built
[00:07:41] in Mafu. h in 83 already and it is
[00:07:45] this it is this studio which eventually
[00:07:48] saw several renowned artists
[00:07:51] like Tabouley like Franco and there were even
[00:07:54] American artists who came it was called Liad
[00:07:58] so that means that the president always thinks of the
[00:08:02] marginalized today with this achievement we can say
[00:08:05] that finally finally Congo
[00:08:08] continues in this path which consists. finally of
[00:08:12] repairing social injustices, you saw
[00:08:15] this policy called accelerated municipalization which
[00:08:19] today allowed to de-complex other departments
[00:08:23] of Congo, saw Sibiti really emerge
[00:08:27] practically from the forests to become a great
[00:08:30] city, saw Evo in a short time become a great
[00:08:34] city, hats off to the Head of
[00:08:39] bravo for this... this tireless
[00:08:42] builder that he
[00:08:45] is, he has always demonstrated it, throughout the
[00:08:48] years that pass, he is truly the tireless
[00:08:51] builder, the one who has always had this
[00:08:55] desire to modernize Congo, to cover
[00:08:59] the four corners of Congo with modern
[00:09:01] infrastructure, yesterday we did not know that this entire
[00:09:04] area would constitute a whole department,
[00:09:08] State and today the
[00:09:11] city of Diigny. with its surroundings benefits from this
[00:09:15] project which is becoming international, since through
[00:09:18] this 2nd edition, we have not only
[00:09:23] national production of our country, but also of the
[00:09:27] world, notably from Congo's partners, China
[00:09:30] and brother countries who have come to encourage,
[00:09:34] support this Congolese initiative which today makes our
[00:09:38] country proud, also to emphasize that this is a great
[00:09:40] opportunity for these... entrepreneurs and these farmers
[00:09:43] to bear in mind that this initiative and
[00:09:47] this dynamic they have in hand, this commitment they have
[00:09:51] wholeheartedly stemming from this will of the Head of State must not
[00:09:54] stop because we have the African Continental Free Trade Area
[00:09:58] which is coming fast and uh it
[00:10:01] is these these products from Congo must be
[00:10:04] known throughout the world uh by this great
[00:10:07] market that will open and that will pass through Congo and we
[00:10:11] have followed how, through his company project RCL
[00:10:15] Lamarche, the President
[00:10:17] decided to modernize the road
[00:10:20] infrastructure and electrify the entire
[00:10:24] national territory. He showed and demonstrated through his last
[00:10:28] inaugurations and his campaign promises, we have
[00:10:31] seen how he launched, he gave his
[00:10:35] word to launch
[00:10:37] the works of corridor 13 which will
[00:10:41] connect Congo to other countries, we have seen how
[00:10:45] he launched a few months ago the modernization works
[00:10:49] of the Congo railroad, we see
[00:10:51] how Brazzaville is transforming today, Brazzaville is entirely
[00:10:55] with the modernization of urban
[00:10:58] roads, it must be noted, said and made known to the
[00:11:02] Congolese public, that it is the personal will
[00:11:05] of the president of the republic, since it is a project
[00:11:09] he carries and supervises himself in person, so
[00:11:12] it is a will that must be praised and that is not given to everyone, it is a
[00:11:16] grace, a chance for us to have a head of state who has so
[00:11:20] much energy and so much will to be able to offer the
[00:11:23] best to the Congolese.
[00:11:25] confidence, ale France Tokabeka, recently,
[00:11:31] ambassadors from African countries who came to present him
[00:11:34] their letters of credence and we saw the ambassador of Mauritania
[00:11:38] come and say but finally I hear about Denis
[00:11:41] Sasungeso there I am in front of him only from Africa but that
[00:11:45] I dream or not in any case he had said

[00:13:48] possible to bring into contact investors but
[00:13:51] also the promoters of all...
[00:14:25] When energy illuminates the future, development
[00:14:28] takes on its full meaning. On August 8th and 9th,
[00:14:31] 2026, the district of Lingi, a land of the future,

[00:14:45] Under the patronage of the prefect of the Pool department, Jules
[00:18:35] What would the world be without biodiversity?
[00:18:38] the climate and the ecosystem, ladies and gentlemen, dear
[00:18:41] viewers, welcome to the magazine Africa Environment
[00:18:44] Plus, in the context of the fight against climate
[00:18:47] change in the Republic of Congo, Africa Environment
[00:18:51] Plus has the privilege of discovering the project
[00:18:54] Zetéyabomo i in French, the tree of
[00:18:57] life in the frontier reserve of Bambou
[00:19:00] Migali, I invite you to follow this exchange with
[00:19:04] Mr. Blanchard.
[00:19:07] coordinator of this
[00:19:09] project.
[00:19:15] Today we welcome Mr. Guy Blanchard, national
[00:19:19] coordinator of the Congo Basin Climate Network. Hello
[00:19:23] sir, hello madam journalist. How are you? I
[00:19:27] am fine, madam. Mr. Okeri will present throughout
[00:19:30] this broadcast, the Nzété and
[00:19:33] Yabomoil project, in French, the tree of life. An
[00:19:37] ambitious initiative to reforest 100 hectares
[00:19:40] intended for the
[00:19:43] ecosystem and the protection of the environment.
[00:19:46] Ladies and gentlemen, dear viewers, hello, I am Claude Lingonimba and
[00:19:50] welcome to the magazine Africa
[00:20:14] ours, in any case, as I said in the introduction, you are
[00:20:17] national coordinator of the Congo Climate
[00:20:20] Network, but also president of the Center for
[00:20:23] Development of Social Actions for Congo,
[00:20:27] CDASCO for short, tell us what does this
[00:20:30] function represent for you? Uh, I want
[00:20:33] to really give a general
[00:20:38] presentation of my humble self, okay, I am Mr.
[00:20:42] Guy Blanchard, I am the national coordinator
[00:20:46] of the Congo Climate Network,
[00:20:48] Knight of... of Congolese merit for peace
[00:20:52] and I am also climate
[00:20:54] ambassador, in any case delighted and tell us, uh tell us
[00:20:58] concretely concerning the Nditi
[00:21:01] Yabomoy project, what was the trigger and why did you
[00:21:05] launch it? You know well uh that
[00:21:08] the date of November 7,
[00:21:10] 2022 is a very
[00:21:13] significant date for us because it is on this
[00:21:17] date that the President of the Republic... had
[00:21:20] launched the decade and
[00:21:24] then during the
[00:21:27] SCIAR, the International Conference on
[00:21:30] Afforestation, Reforestation, where I had
[00:21:34] given a speech,
[00:21:36] during my speech, I had made a firm
[00:21:39] commitment before
[00:21:42] all the guests and from this tribune
[00:21:45] uh in front of Madam Minister
[00:21:49] Rosaline.
[00:21:52] accompanying her in this fight and
[00:21:55] therefore this project is the product of the
[00:21:59] concretization of this commitment made during the
[00:22:03] CER, but also this
[00:22:06] initiative carried by the President of the Republic
[00:22:10] on the 25th of
[00:22:12] 2025 had been
[00:22:16] adopted by the United Nations and it
[00:22:20] therefore becomes a decade
[00:22:23] international for afforestation,
[00:22:25] reforestation, so as initiator Congo,
[00:22:29] we must therefore do what is necessary to
[00:22:33] precisely ensure that we keep our place
[00:22:37] as the leader, the initiator of this
[00:22:40] event, so here are the
[00:22:44] three elements, uh you know that every
[00:22:47] November of every year we... in planting,
[00:22:50] that's at the national level, so that's already in
[00:22:54] our DNA, and and added to that
[00:22:57] uh this initiative at the
[00:23:01] international level which was initiated by Congo,
[00:23:04] so we are here therefore to
[00:23:07] materialize this initiative,
[00:23:11] okay, can you briefly present your
[00:23:15] mission regarding this project? Well, I am
[00:23:18] uh the Congo Climate Network is an
[00:23:22] implementation structure so the project
[00:23:26] is represented as if we have a tripartite
[00:23:29] agreement and it has on
[00:23:32] one side the state represented by the
[00:23:37] Forest Economy and on the other side you have
[00:23:41] the donor who is Seat Congo
[00:23:44] and on the other side you have the Congo Climate Network which is
[00:23:48] the initiator and the implementation structure
[00:23:52] of this project, this ambitious project
[00:23:55] of afforestation of 100 hectares in the Bamboume
[00:23:59] land reserve, precisely speaking of this reserve,
[00:24:02] why did you choose the Bambouminga land reserve? For a
[00:24:06] simple and good reason that
[00:24:09] having a site that has
[00:24:12] a guarantee, that is to say, that guarantees us that the project will be
[00:24:16] executed without suffering
[00:24:20] pressures, for example, from people and
[00:24:24] other things, but it is a secured land
[00:24:28] reserve and for that reason we have
[00:24:31] chosen it and because the initiative
[00:24:35] is also from the state and we have chosen
[00:24:39] this site because this site is secured and we
[00:24:42] will not have problems
[00:24:45] coming from here and there so, okay, but what
[00:24:49] is the impact that this project will have on the environment and on the
[00:24:53] population? You are aware that
[00:24:55] afforestation, it is,
[00:24:59] it is something in terms
[00:25:03] of climate change, it is
[00:25:05] a main element for precisely, you know the
[00:25:09] whole world, it has polluters who are
[00:25:13] uh our our our our friends
[00:25:16] from the from the south and we. here
[00:25:20] we who are the solution, the solution is
[00:25:23] what, it's planting to mitigate
[00:25:25] precisely, you can imagine today we are in the month
[00:25:29] of of July,
[00:25:32] usually the rains should have lasted until
[00:25:35] June, even a little bit into July, but you see the
[00:25:38] rains stopped since
[00:25:42] May, so there are heatwaves, there are
[00:25:46] droughts, there are disappearances, these are... the
[00:25:50] causes, the harms of climate change,
[00:25:53] so how to remedy and save the
[00:25:57] world, because our solution when we plant here and
[00:26:01] the beneficiaries are not only the Congolese, but we
[00:26:04] are solving a situation globally,
[00:26:07] internationally, based on our
[00:26:10] initiative and we are here to
[00:26:14] precisely try to mitigate the effects
[00:26:17] of climate change, I would like us to go back to what you
[00:26:21] said earlier about pollution, you said that it is our friends
[00:26:24] from the south who are, let's say, those who pollute a little.
[00:26:28] our environment, how is that explained in fact?
[00:26:32] Well here,
[00:26:35] you see here when you see
[00:26:39] the statistics at our level, Congo
[00:26:41] does not pollute, it does not have industries
[00:26:45] here, it does not pollute but we have
[00:26:49] the solution here as our friends from the DRC say that
[00:26:52] their country is a solution country,
[00:26:55] solution why? Because everything
[00:26:58] that China does, the United States
[00:27:02] does. everything that France, all these people
[00:27:05] do, and the solution is what, it's us, because
[00:27:08] they don't have forests there, we have the Congo Basin, they
[00:27:12] don't have many things, we don't have peatlands, we have
[00:27:15] peat bogs here so the the formalization
[00:27:19] of the initiative, that's what's well
[00:27:23] founded, thank you very much, you told us earlier that you
[00:27:28] Order of Merit of Congo for peace and an ambassador
[00:27:32] of... climate by the intergovernmental panel of
[00:27:34] experts on environment and climate, notably the
[00:27:38] IPCC, how does this distinction strengthen your
[00:27:41] commitment? Well, you know, as
[00:27:45] a civil society organization, we
[00:27:48] are here to support the state,
[00:27:51] you see the initiative launched by the state,
[00:27:54] but we have taken this concern at
[00:27:58] our level to respond promptly to this
[00:28:01] grievance. issued by the state, so
[00:28:04] uh because of what we have
[00:28:08] always done and that's why we received this
[00:28:11] distinction, because the fight is not new, it's been
[00:28:15] 25 years that we have been in this fight,
[00:28:18] supporting public authorities
[00:28:21] uh to precisely uh at
[00:28:25] all levels, and that's why the state, as
[00:28:29] a token of recognition, has
[00:28:33] awarded us this distinction of
[00:28:35] Knight of the Wall of the Congolese Order for Peace, so we have
[00:28:39] for peace and other things at the
[00:28:43] IPCC level, these are the activities that we
