[00:02:54] presence of the President of the Republic, Denis Sassou Nguesso, at a traditional
[00:02:59] Republic fishing trip is a strong signal, a source of joy and hope. As
[00:03:03] prefect of the Congo Ubangi department and representative of
[00:03:06] state authority here, it's a feeling of great
[00:03:10] satisfaction to welcome the father of the nation

[00:03:16] 45 km from Mossaka, the capital of
[00:03:20] fish. So it's a feeling of satisfaction. We
[00:03:23] hope that this fishing will be a
[00:03:27] momentum, a momentum so that around fishing,
[00:03:31] tourism is organized, aquaculture is
[00:03:34] organized, other ideas are organized,
[00:03:38] in general, the development of the specific
[00:03:41] area. Income-generating activity, fishing
[00:03:45] in Ndolé attracts great
[00:03:47] Civic Education, Prince interest from the young people of this locality who ask for
[00:03:50] support from the public authorities.
[00:03:54] At the end of this traditional fishing trip, the President of the Republic answered
[00:03:59] gala evening called "Stars of questions from the press. As in the agricultural sector, where
[00:04:01] significant efforts are being made, Denis Sassou Nguesso allowed for significant
[00:04:05] support for the fishing sector. Ange
[00:04:09] Cloter once
[00:04:10] again.
[00:04:14] The traditional fishing trip organized in Nole village was
[00:04:18] a moving moment for the President of the Republic. Through it,
[00:04:21] Denis Sassou Nguesso immersed himself in the memories of his
[00:04:24] youth. He praised the commitment of compatriots
[00:04:28] living in this part of the country, who produce useful goods for life
[00:04:32] without destroying nature. This reminds
[00:04:35] me of all my
[00:04:38] youth.
[00:04:42] I was born, I grew up
[00:04:46] in this
[00:04:47] environment.
[00:04:52] And I did what the other
[00:04:55] young people
[00:04:58] are doing in front of us.
[00:05:01] Well, before entering modern
[00:05:04] life, for the record,
[00:05:06] to go to junior high
[00:05:09] in 6th grade. I was found in the middle of
[00:05:18] I was in the mud
[00:05:21] and
[00:05:24] they pulled me out of the mud and
[00:05:27] brought me to this natural environment. For
[00:05:30] me, it's a great pleasure to
[00:05:33] reconnect with this
[00:05:34] environment.
[00:05:39] And here we are.
[00:05:43] In the heart of the Congo basin.
[00:05:46] And I am happy to see that the parents
[00:05:50] here continue to fight with their bare
[00:05:53] hands. We have not yet given them great
[00:05:56] support, but they are there, fighting
[00:06:00] with their bare hands,
[00:06:02] and they
[00:06:05] produce without destroying
[00:06:08] nature. Continuing his remarks, the Head of State asked the
[00:06:12] farmers to hope that the government's program, he added,
[00:06:15] would include the development of agricultural activities, but also fishing,
[00:06:19] which justifies within the executive a ministry in charge of river
[00:06:22] economy. The government has
[00:06:26] launched a major program, the agricultural
[00:06:29] development. Regarding the fishermen
[00:06:32] here, we have set
[00:06:35] up an entire ministerial
[00:06:38] department
[00:06:41] that deals with
[00:06:43] river economy. We will provide them
[00:06:46] with the support,
[00:06:50] the support that we also provide to farmers through
[00:06:53] mechanization. After answering questions from the press, President
[00:06:58] returned to Oyo where he continues his
[00:07:01] stay.
[00:07:03] In Pointe Noire, the 3rd edition of the Vag Plus project is coming to an
[00:07:07] end, an initiative of the Federation of Young Leaders of
[00:07:10] Congo, supported by
[00:07:12] Bioko with the support of the municipality of Pointe Noire. The
[00:07:16] closing ceremony was marked yesterday by the presence of Prime
[00:07:20] Minister Anatole Collinet Makosso who was delighted to see this youth
[00:07:23] engaged in useful activities during the long holidays. Nucleir Pond
[00:07:27] Deug.
[00:07:30] 2 months of vacation but not 2 months without learning, that's the challenge of the vac+
[00:07:34] project carried by the Federation of Young Leaders of Congo. For
[00:07:38] this 2026 edition, thousands of young people were trained in
[00:07:41] personal development, leadership and entrepreneurship. They also
[00:07:45] strengthened their knowledge of English and IT. The youngest
[00:07:49] discovered science through practice thanks to micro-science
[00:07:52] workshops and mini laboratories. In addition
[00:07:55] to this, there was orientation, public speaking competitions, public
[00:07:59] speaking, but also cultural and sports
[00:08:02] activities, a way to usefully occupy young people during the
[00:08:05] long holidays. The 3rd edition was attended by Prime
[00:08:09] Minister Anatole Collinet Macosso at the closing ceremony. Today we
[00:08:13] are before you to express our gratitude to
[00:08:17] our elders and authorities who have shown themselves throughout
[00:08:20] this adventure to be guides and
[00:08:24] protectors. They were before us and the instructors to show
[00:08:27] us, to teach us, to instruct us and to lead
[00:08:30] us towards the world of competition.
[00:08:34] In future editions, this project aims to be a
[00:08:38] growing project that will be an unmissable event for
[00:08:40] youth. In order to help these young people, because they need
[00:08:44] it, to develop, to become the solution, because
[00:08:47] I hold this conviction within me and I constantly
[00:08:50] repeat it loudly and clearly that of all the riches that
[00:08:54] our country possesses, its youth is the most precious.
[00:08:57] This activity had as its patron the administrator-mayor of Luindili
[00:09:01] and Yolande Ketabongui who was delighted to accompany these young people to Mr.
[00:09:05] the Prime Minister of Youth. We know
[00:09:08] that the vote is for young people, and I
[00:09:11] really wanted to ask you to come and
[00:09:15] meet these young people, because these young people are
[00:09:18] our future, these young people
[00:09:22] of Congo and of our country. It was necessary for you to
[00:09:25] all know that they are very
[00:09:29] committed to distinguishing themselves from lost
[00:09:32] youth. This project allows children to take advantage of the long holidays to discover
[00:09:36] new things, develop their skills and prepare for their
[00:09:40] future, while enjoying a time of... received encouragement from the
[00:09:43] Prime Minister. I am happy to participate despite a busy
[00:09:47] schedule. I congratulate
[00:09:50] the president of the departmental and municipal council
[00:09:54] for having thought of organizing these moments for youth and
[00:09:58] I congratulate the resident of the federation of young leaders
[00:10:01] of Congo. I congratulate this initiative because it was said
[00:10:05] here, I myself am a supervisor of youth camps and
[00:10:08] youth when on vacation and I carry that
[00:10:11] in my DNA. When I see young people taking such
[00:10:14] initiatives, organizing youth projects,
[00:10:18] vacations, moments of joy and I see that
[00:10:21] these initiatives are accompanied by the
[00:10:25] same municipality, I am happy because
[00:10:28] our cities, our municipalities should do it,
[00:10:31] encourage these youth initiatives. It is true that we have many
[00:10:35] things to do, there are great challenges to overcome,
[00:10:39] but municipalities must understand the importance of knowing
[00:10:42] how to occupy the free time of young people. The 2026 edition of the vacre
[00:10:46] plus project will have unearthed young talents carrying impactful and
[00:10:50] innovative projects. All will benefit from a fund destined to kickstart the concretization
[00:10:54] of their initiatives. Another support was granted to the winners of
[00:10:58] public speaking and debate competitions to
[00:11:01] encourage their eloquence.
[00:11:05] Also closing in Pointe Noire is the first edition
[00:11:08] of the municipal orientation fair "Find Your Voice"
[00:11:12] in Loindili. A successful first edition with the presence of Prime
[00:11:15] Minister Anatole Collinet Makosso. Among the highlights, 10
[00:11:19] new baccalaureate holders received a scholarship from
[00:11:22] Claire.
[00:11:28] After succeeding in the baccalaureate, one question burns on the lips of
[00:11:31] baccalaureate holders: which path to choose? To help them
[00:11:34] answer it, the Loindili City Hall launched the first edition of the municipal
[00:11:37] orientation fair called: "Find Your Voice" in Loindili,
[00:11:41] supported by the administrator-mayor with the support of an educational consortium and
[00:11:45] partner associations. The initiative mobilized throughout the
[00:11:49] week a little more than 2,000 baccalaureate holders on site. The
[00:11:52] young people were able to learn about the available training, compare the
[00:11:56] different paths and better understand the possibilities available to them according to
[00:11:59] their aspirations. The higher education institutions in Pointe Noire
[00:12:03] largely responded to the call. They presented their training offers and
[00:12:07] highlighted the sectors likely to support young people's
[00:12:11] professional projects. This orientation week ended with
[00:12:14] a closing ceremony marked by the presence of Prime Minister Anatole Collinet
[00:12:18] Makosso. This fair is now part of a sustainable
[00:12:20] approach to make our educational system ever more effective,
[00:12:25] more inclusive and more resilient. "Find Your Voice" in
[00:12:28] Loindili must become a major benchmark
[00:12:32] the future of our youth. By coming to this fair, they also met
[00:12:36] valuable advisors, such as Prime Minister Anatole Makosso, a child
[00:12:40] of Loindili. He grew up and today holds his
[00:12:43] mandate as a deputy there. Nothing at the start guaranteed him that he
[00:12:47] would one day become head of government. His journey
[00:12:50] thus reminds young people that ambitions are built with hard work and
[00:12:54] perseverance. these meetings are not
[00:12:58] random meetings, do not take them as meetings to
[00:13:02] miss, they are formative, they are
[00:13:05] bearers of hope, they help build your
[00:13:09] future. I have a motto that I share today with young
[00:13:12] people, I am
[00:13:14] convinced that all young people can
[00:13:17] succeed and all people must
[00:13:20] succeed. The President of the
[00:13:24] said: success is
[00:13:27] a strong determination towards oneself.
[00:13:30] Here, it is enough to be determined, and I am
[00:13:34] happy to contribute very
[00:13:37] modestly to the development of this youth.
[00:13:40] The visit to the stands constituted another significant moment of the fair, but one
[00:13:44] of the strong gestures of this first edition remains the granting of the
[00:13:47] Anatole Collinet Makosso scholarship to 10 young baccalaureate holders who distinguished
[00:13:50] themselves during a public speaking and debate
[00:13:53] competition. The winners thus benefit from 3 years of support at
[00:13:57] the University Institute of Brazzaville.
[00:13:59] Launch today of the national campaign for civism,
[00:14:03] citizenship, and peace in Pointe Noire. The kickoff of this
[00:14:07] activity was given by the Minister Delegate in charge of Youth and
[00:14:12] Mikliste Kabamboko. Lambert Fabrice
[00:14:16] Mukoko reports. Brooms, shovels, and other
[00:14:18] sanitation tools in hand, all.
[00:14:21] Under the impetus of the Minister Delegate in charge of Youth and Civic
[00:14:25] Education, Prince Mikris Kabamboko, they invested the
[00:14:28] arteries of the first district of Pointe Noire, Mumba.
[00:14:32] The objective is to rid public spaces of waste and
[00:14:35] to sensitize citizens to the preservation of their environment.
[00:14:38] His Excellency Mr. So has embarked on a
[00:14:42] new mandate under the prism of accelerating
[00:14:46] development, but no country has developed without a
[00:14:50] real grasp of civic education, of civil instruction. And that is why
[00:14:53] we thought of carrying out these actions by showing
[00:14:57] citizens that it was theirs, that of not throwing
[00:15:01] garbage in the wrong way, that
[00:15:04] of maintaining the environment in which they live because
[00:15:08] precisely their health, the health of the populations depends on it. This
[00:15:11] sanitation operation is part of the awareness campaign on
[00:15:15] civism, citizenship and peace, an
[00:15:17] governmental action led by the Minister Delegate in charge of
[00:15:21] Youth and Civic Education, Prince Mikris Kabamboko.
[00:15:25] We hope that this launch here in
[00:15:28] Lumumba and Pointe Noire is just the beginning. We will work
[00:15:32] to continue this effort in collaboration with the first head of
[00:15:36] government. This means that the development of civic capital
[00:15:39] is already starting to take shape and we have no doubt that young
[00:15:43] people will continue and those we met, those we
[00:15:47] distributed the few plants that we had prepared, give
[00:15:50] us hope that everything will go well through this sanitation operation.
[00:15:54] This is about civic action in concrete
[00:15:57] terms, because preserving the cleanliness of streets, respecting
[00:16:01] public spaces and protecting the environment are also
[00:16:05] civic duties. We came to the royal because it is the epicenter of
[00:16:09] floods in Lumumba. It is a feeling of good pride that
[00:16:12] we welcome this form of partnership with the minister which led
[00:16:16] to the great sanitation operation. Mobilization can thus
[00:16:19] instill responsible behavior in daily
[00:16:23] habits and make sanitation a truly
[00:16:26] collective affair. You
[00:16:29] have just watched the report by Lambert Fabrice
[00:16:32] Okoko in the 3rd district, the
[00:16:35] weekly operation. Bouquette continued
[00:16:39] on the instructions of the administrator-mayor Jean
[00:16:42] Romuald Tchickombo. This
[00:16:45] operation was preceded by a sensitization session on
[00:16:48] noise pollution with beverage outlet owners, Genie
[00:16:51] Florence Sangouma.
[00:16:54] Led by the administrator-mayor of the 3rd
[00:16:57] arrondissement, Tchikombo, the Salbruté
[00:17:01] Bonketé operation continues to receive good press and gain ground on the temple avenue in
[00:17:04] district 301. The base hospital of the district, religious
[00:17:08] confessions, residents and neighborhood chiefs have rolled up their sleeves.
[00:17:11] But my commitment on Bruno Tchickaya Avenue, a
[00:17:15] stone's throw from the town hall, is a
[00:17:18] desire to make public cleanliness a collective affair. I
[00:17:22] quote Mr. Mayor, in any case, what he is doing is really
[00:17:26] essential that he continues like this for the advancement of our 3rd
[00:17:29] arrondissement. Thank you to Mr. Mayor for this initiative, we are
[00:17:33] here to support him, may God bless him. And for Jean Romia Tchickombo, the improvement
[00:17:37] of the living environment is not limited to the cleanliness of public spaces, it also
[00:17:41] involves the preservation of the tranquility of the population. That is
[00:17:44] why, in another register, the first citizen of Tchétché
[00:17:47] summoned the owners of bars, drinking establishments, VIPs, cellars and nightclubs for a
[00:17:51] sensitization meeting. At the heart of the discussions, noise
[00:17:55] pollution, an invisible pollution that disturbs elderly
[00:17:58] people, disrupts the peace of students who are preparing for the future and puts
[00:18:01] the health of hypertensive people at risk. The objective is not to close
[00:18:05] economic and recreational activities, but to find a
[00:18:08] balance between entertainment and public tranquility, hence
[00:18:12] this call for responsibility, for moderation of sound volume and for
[00:18:16] respect for schedules.
[00:18:18] the state, because no one is above the law. If you
[00:18:22] want to become an outlaw, the public force is
[00:18:25] there, the patrol teams have the full
[00:18:29] right to seize material in bars,
[00:18:31] everything that is sound to protect people from harm
[00:18:35] when it is midnight. 1 a.m., 2 a.m., you
[00:18:39] increase the volume, it is forbidden.
[00:18:42] You also need, when you rest, not to be disturbed,
[00:18:46] it's quick to do that, also think about the sleep of
[00:18:49] others, especially elderly people. It's up to you to
[00:18:53] become aware and see how you should behave.
[00:18:57] A muscular refocusing that lays the foundations of a new governance.
[00:19:00] This is a reminder he is making, there is already a government note that prohibits us from
[00:19:04] harming the population. Music can be played on terraces
[00:19:08] from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and until midnight on
[00:19:11] weekends. You stop the music and in VIP nightclubs, the music is a little
[00:19:15] more moderate. Let's respect the texts of the Republic. With what the mayor said, the
[00:19:19] time has come for music to be soft in commercial areas. We
[00:19:22] will put an end to noise pollution. Through these two actions, sanitation and
[00:19:26] the fight against noise pollution, Jean-Remi Tchickombo intends to make Tchétché
[00:19:30] a clean district where it is good to
[00:19:33] live. A
[00:19:36] Africa" on this 19th of September in Pointe-Noire to celebrate
[00:19:40] merit and inspire youth.
