[00:01:57] but it obliges
[00:02:00] you even more. The
[00:02:03] times, but learning certificate you obtain today should not be seen
[00:02:06] as the culmination of your career, it should rather
[00:02:09] be considered as the beginning of a new
[00:02:13] requirement. Wherever you are
[00:02:16] assigned, do honor to the training
[00:02:19] received.

[00:03:08] the speech of the Director General of Next, we head to the Mari Military Academy where this Wednesday, September 30,
[00:03:11] 2026, the closing ceremony of the
[00:03:15] some machines also have the battery cut-off switch on the Mbumba specified the purpose of 6th Inter-army Staff Course (IM 6) was held
[00:03:18] under the authority of the commander of the Congolese Armed Forces Schools, Brigadier General
[00:03:21] Charles Victoire Banti. Frank Moyoki tells us
[00:03:24] more: After
[00:03:27] trainers in civil engineering at 6 months of instruction, the 35 trainees of the 6th Inter-army
[00:03:30] Staff Course at the Mari Wabi Military Academy completed their
[00:03:33] training. Trained to anticipate the leader's decision-making,
[00:03:37] these junior and senior Congolese
[00:03:40] officers, as well as those from brother countries like
[00:03:44] Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, and Unity, have
[00:03:48] acquired the knowledge required to work in
[00:03:51] cohesion within an inter-army
[00:03:54] staff, according to the
[00:03:57] results of the top three recipients.
[00:04:01] Present before Brigadier
[00:04:03] the engine and if there is an General, commander of the Congolese armed forces schools,
[00:04:06] it should be noted that the
[00:04:08] driver can architects of these results were not overlooked
[00:04:11] as the supervisors received letters of
[00:04:15] congratulations before the diplomas were awarded to the rest of
[00:04:19] the class. Finally, the Brigadier General commanding the school
[00:04:22] launched a vibrant appeal to the
[00:04:26] 6th graduating class of staff officers
[00:04:30] in these words:
[00:04:32] Ladies and gentlemen, staff
[00:04:35] officers,
[00:04:38] success is not final, failure is
[00:04:41] not fatal, it is courage to continue that counts. These
[00:04:45] words of Winston Churchill
[00:04:48] remind us that the training you have just completed is only one
[00:04:51] step. You leave this
[00:04:53] academy armed and strengthened with new
[00:04:56] knowledge that will allow you to assume your
[00:05:00] future missions and responsibilities with
[00:05:03] ease and serenity.
[00:05:07] The diploma and insignia presented to you
[00:05:11] today are not mere honorary
[00:05:14] distinctions. They symbolize your
[00:05:17] entry into the restricted corps of staff
[00:05:20] officers. You are now the
[00:05:24] designers of tomorrow's operations, the linchpin
[00:05:27] of staffs, the valuable advisers of
[00:05:30] your future leaders, and the
[00:05:33] guarantors of operational effectiveness on the
[00:05:36] ground. Listen to the testimonies
[00:05:40] of two of them: After having spent 6 months of
[00:05:44] training here at the Mariabi Military Academy, I feel
[00:05:47] competent to work in a
[00:05:51] staff at both national and international
[00:05:54] levels. We have acquired skills in both
[00:05:58] operational and
[00:06:00] general education areas. Today,
[00:06:06] Mario Military Academy, we are
[00:06:09] able to work within a staff, whether
[00:06:13] at the local or international
[00:06:15] level.
[00:06:21] We remain within the 400 at the Mari Military Academy to witness the
[00:06:24] opening ceremony of the seven courses for the academic year
[00:06:29] Engineering School (TR). This ceremony took
[00:06:32] place this Friday, October 2, 2026, under the patronage of
[00:06:36] Colonel Major Harment Pascal Momba, Director General of the said
[00:06:39] school. Images from Hidelitoi, commentary.
[00:06:45] After a month and a half of well-deserved vacation, the
[00:06:48] pedagogical activities at the Engineering Works School must resume with
[00:06:52] force and vigor. To materialize its decision,
[00:06:56] the General Directorate of the Engineering Works School proceeded on
[00:07:00] October 2, 2026 to the opening of this course. The
[00:07:03] opening ceremony, placed under the patronage of the Director of Engineering
[00:07:07] Works, Colonel Major Armand Pascal
[00:07:10] Mbumba, saw two major acts:
[00:07:14] first, the reading of the service notes, setting
[00:07:17] the organization of the courses presented by Captain Cousissa
[00:07:21] Chadel, Head of the Teaching Aid Division.

[00:08:10] take place from September 14 to December 11,
[00:08:13] 2026 in accordance
[00:08:17] with the reference. Then came
[00:08:20] the Engineering Works School, a speech in which Colonel
[00:08:24] Major Armand Pascal
[00:08:27] the training well before describing the challenges ahead for the academic
[00:08:31] year
[00:08:32] 2026-2027.
[00:08:36] This ceremony is related to the beginning of training
[00:08:38] activities within the framework of the academic year 2020. 6
[00:08:42] 2027 which opens with the seven
[00:08:46] stages for officers and non-commissioned officers currently
[00:08:49] underway at the Engineering Works School. Indeed,
[00:08:53] to train is to invest in
[00:08:57] lifelong
[00:08:59] learning.
[00:09:02] It is the only and unique answer to
[00:09:04] the obsolescence of skills, or even
[00:09:07] knowledge. We must therefore invest
[00:09:11] today to be able to meet the
[00:09:15] demands and challenges of today and those to
[00:09:18] come.
[00:09:23] The academic year 2027, which opens this day,
[00:09:25] adheres to this desire to strengthen
[00:09:29] skills, aptitudes, and
[00:09:31] performance that our political authorities and the
[00:09:35] command are concerned about
[00:09:38] in order to create in our state favorable
[00:09:41] conditions and sound foundations
[00:09:44] for integral development. The Engineering Works
[00:09:47] School, through its training
[00:09:50] programs, participates in the achievement of this
[00:09:53] global objective. In his opening speech, the DG
[00:09:57] EGT did not fail to thank all the actors
[00:10:00] who work for the influence of this body of excellence before giving the
[00:10:04] official launch of the courses. I would
[00:10:07] inevitably
[00:10:10] fail if, from this platform, I did not express
[00:10:12] our gratitude and all our thanks to the very
[00:10:16] high national authorities,
[00:10:20] for the benevolent gaze and particular attention they never cease to grant to
[00:10:24] the Engineering Works School, by sparing no effort for
[00:10:27] its optimal functioning.
[00:10:31] I also express my deep and sincere
[00:10:33] gratitude to the French cooperation
[00:10:36] which, since the creation of the school, has
[00:10:40] continuously provided a major and unconditional
[00:10:43] contribution to logistical support as well as to training
[00:10:46] support. The cooperation between France and Congo, the
[00:10:50] creation and implementation of the EGT project is of
[00:10:53] exemplary quality. I am referring
[00:10:57] here to the Cooperation, Security and Defense Directorate, CSD for
[00:11:00] short, to the Engineering School, as
[00:11:04] well as to the French Embassy in Congo through which the
[00:11:07] Defense Attaché is an essential pillar
[00:11:11] in the conduct of our common project. At the end of my
[00:11:14] remarks, I declare the academic year
[00:11:17] 2026-2027 of the Engineering Works School open. Long live
[00:11:21] Franco-African cooperation, long live France-Congo
[00:11:25] cooperation, long live the Engineering Works School!
[00:11:28] Thank you.
[00:11:35] IMPGEL, the General Preparatory Military School.
[00:11:39] This week, the children's school opened its doors to a
[00:11:42] new promotion of young Congolese and foreigners admitted to the
[00:11:46] 2026 competition who are taking their first steps in the
[00:11:50] mold of excellence.
[00:11:52] the event.
[00:11:57] On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the General Preparatory
[00:12:00] Military School of Clark welcomed young 6th grade students
[00:12:04] admitted to the entrance examination for the school year
[00:12:06] 2026-2027. Accompanied by their parents, the new
[00:12:11] the establishment, marking their transition from civilian to military
[00:12:15] life. This day of incorporation was particularly
[00:12:18] full of emotion within the families. In an atmosphere
[00:12:22] both solemn and full of affection, the parents
[00:12:26] accompanied their children until the moment of separation. The last
[00:12:29] hugs and ultimate cuddles constituted strong moments
[00:12:33] before the young recruits definitively found their feet in their
[00:12:36] new environment. Now boarders at the General Preparatory
[00:12:40] Military School Clark, these young students are called upon to gradually
[00:12:43] adapt to the demands of the military setting. Discipline,
[00:12:47] rigor, respect for rules, community life and a sense of
[00:12:51] responsibility now
[00:12:54] constitute the primary requirements they will have to
[00:12:57] face daily. For these new recruits, this day is not therefore
[00:13:01] a simple back-to-school day; it marks the
[00:13:04] beginning of a process of adaptation to military life and the
[00:13:07] opening of a new stage of nation-building within the General Preparatory Military School
[00:13:11] Leclerc. Thus, behind the sometimes emotion-filled eyes of
[00:13:14] parents and the first steps of young
[00:13:17] establishment, the beginning of a new journey unfolds,
[00:13:21] that of a generation called upon to learn, to serve and to
[00:13:25] grow within a framework based on discipline,
[00:13:28] rigor and esprit de
[00:13:29] corps.
[00:13:35] Female commitment, daily commitment, in the field of
[00:13:39] training, the army is at work. Half a century
[00:13:42] later, we continue to write about the commitment of women in
[00:13:45] uniform, tonight based on interviews conducted
[00:13:49] with female
[00:13:52] the Engineering Works School.
[00:14:20] I am Chief Corporal Manga Délice,
[00:14:24] trainer. So for hydraulic
[00:14:26] excavators, I have been detached to the
[00:14:30] since 2021.
[00:14:33] After that, I underwent training to be a
[00:14:36] hydraulic excavator trainer. From that day, after the training, I became a
[00:14:40] hydraulic excavator trainer. Here we are in
[00:14:43] a simulation room. What is a
[00:14:46] simulation room? For anyone wanting to be
[00:14:49] trained on a hydraulic excavator or on any other machine for
[00:14:53] any public works engine, they must first pass
[00:14:56] through a simulation room to be able to add value, meaning that before being able to
[00:15:00] do some exercises, see how the machine
[00:15:03] moves before being able to take a step and get hands-on with the machine
[00:15:07] as it is. That's why here we were lucky that the chief
[00:15:11] thought of us for this machine to be able to make the
[00:15:15] training progress, and this year we were able to train the guys from the
[00:15:18] CTP course who acquired the basics before being able to
[00:15:22] get hands-on. With the machines here, I am
[00:15:25] doing an exercise called loading
[00:15:28] a dump truck.
[00:15:32] This is part of the work that a hydraulic excavator can do. The hydraulic excavator can
[00:15:36] perform several types of work, it can
[00:15:40] create ditches,
[00:15:43] demolition, loading of materials, this is the exercise I was
[00:15:47] just
[00:15:47] doing.
[00:15:53] I am Master Sergeant Ecoris Sausage Juliette,
[00:15:57] instructor on the grader. This
[00:15:59] enormous machine you see is used on earthmoving
[00:16:03] sites. It performs tasks such as
[00:16:06] track maintenance, it levels embankments,
[00:16:10] it creates ditches, it maintains
[00:16:13] urban roads and utility construction sites and urban
[00:16:16] roads. So for the construction, the grader has several
[00:16:20] parts, so it has the main equipment which is this leveling
[00:16:23] blade with which it performs various
[00:16:26] tasks, so it is a curved blade which is simple.
[00:16:30] This shape is made of special steel and is equipped
[00:16:33] with a sharp lower edge. This one and
[00:16:37] the blade is fixed on the saddle which is the orientation
[00:16:41] ring which allows it to take several
[00:16:44] positions and apart from that it has
[00:16:47] wheels when we perform the check
[00:16:49] before starting the machines we also check
[00:16:53] the different wheels to see if they have not had a
[00:16:56] failure before starting the machine and apart from that it also has the
[00:17:00] chassis when you place yourself in front of the machine it has a
[00:17:04] view it has a general view of the entire
[00:17:07] machine and we see, perceive first the chassis, it is first
[00:17:11] this part, it starts from here and
[00:17:14] down, so the status here represents the status of the machine
[00:17:18] and on the human body we can compare it to
[00:17:22] the skeleton and here
[00:17:26] hydraulic motor, here are the hydraulic
[00:17:29] pumps and there we have
[00:17:33] different hoses and it also has the cylinders
[00:17:36] in the cylinders it is the one that allows the equipment to take certain
[00:17:40] movements, let me
[00:17:40] show you.
[00:17:48] Here I am checking the level of the coolant. It has a
[00:17:52] filler cap there. I open it, I check the level, but
[00:17:55] it's not with a dipstick, it's visual. Here is the
[00:17:59] hydraulic oil filler cap. We fill
[00:18:02] the hydraulic oil here, but the level is
[00:18:05] read there.
[00:18:09] And as for the fuel level, it is checked in the
[00:18:11] cabin.
[00:18:15] As for the cabin, it is composed of this element, the
[00:18:19] steering column, so it holds the steering wheel and here
[00:18:23] the dashboard is displayed and there we
[00:18:27] have the different levers, so when we want to
[00:18:31] give certain movements to the blade, it is done with these
[00:18:37] the blade or the wheels, it also has the possibility to give an
[00:18:40] inclination to the chassis, so the chassis of the grader is
[00:18:44] inclinable, so it can swing left or
[00:18:47] right, it has the battery cut-off switch, so
[00:18:53] other side where we check the oil, but here the battery cut-off switch
[00:18:56] is in the cabin, so as soon as I start when I engage a gear in
[00:19:00] motion and when
[00:19:03] I activate with the battery cut-off switch
[00:19:06] here I have the
[00:19:08] contacts, I activate and the engine
[00:19:12] starts, but when the engine starts, I cannot
[00:19:16] make the machine move immediately, you have to wait a few
[00:19:19] minutes to allow the machine to idle so that the
[00:19:23] engine has time to pass the oil into the different organs, so
[00:19:27] all these operations are performed beforehand and it is
[00:19:30] necessary and also mandatory, it is to preserve the
[00:19:34] lifespan of the machine because you cannot just come and
[00:19:37] get on the machine without first checking
[00:19:41] anomaly report it if it is a breakdown that the
[00:19:46] repair, he repairs it, but if it is not at his level he
[00:19:49] reports it to the hierarchy and the machine will be put in the
[00:19:53] garage for repair.
[00:20:06] This brings us to the end of our evening edition. Thank you for joining
[00:20:09] us, and thanks also to everyone who contributed to the
[00:20:13] production of this program. See you next edition. Good
[00:20:17] evening, everyone!
[00:23:25] the Co mountain in French Guiana, as
[00:23:29] everywhere in the Amazon, at every moment animals are born
[00:23:33] or die, watch each other, chase each other,
[00:23:36] fear each other, avoid each other or ignore each other.
[00:23:51] A green hell for some, a plant
[00:23:54] paradise for others, in any case a universe in which nature,
[00:23:58] as always, does everything to ensure the survival of
[00:24:01] species.
[00:24:06] Everyone constantly goes from tranquility to fear.
[00:24:10] Everyone can eat and be eaten, since such is the law of the
[00:24:14] jungle. And yet, here
[00:24:18] as in the savannah, there is always one species that fears
[00:24:21] no one, which is the undisputed master of this
[00:24:24] forest. Is it the jaguar, the
[00:24:28] noblest feline of the continent? Perhaps, but
[00:24:31] then, the jaguar must share its territory with
[00:24:35] beings far more ferocious than itself, the
[00:24:38] false army ants, the terrible legionary ants,
[00:24:42] the Eciton, the nomadic
[00:24:44] ants.
[00:24:53] On the ground, at the foot of gigantic trees, an army
[00:24:57] marches, consisting of several hundred thousand warriors, or rather
[00:25:00] warrior women, Amazons, sisters of
[00:25:04] each other and all daughters of a unique mother,
[00:25:07] queen.
[00:25:11] This horde has but one goal: to flush out prey and
[00:25:15] kill them. But this is not a gratuitous act; they have nearly a million mouths
[00:25:18] to feed.
[00:25:32] The army ants use a proven offensive tactic, that of the
[00:25:36] steam
[00:25:36] roller.
[00:25:40] A huge battalion suddenly spreads through the forest on a 20-meter
[00:25:43] front. This wave of warriors surprises a quantity of small
[00:25:47] animals. Only those with a solid carapace or who can flee very
[00:25:51] quickly will escape certain
[00:25:52] death.
[00:26:10] These ants born to kill react
[00:26:13] instantly to tactile stimulations. The more the prey struggles, the more it
[00:26:16] excites the instinctive aggression of new
[00:26:19] attackers.
[00:26:27] Very few insects, once attacked, manage to
[00:26:30] escape this army on campaign.
[00:26:43] In ants, as in most insects, behaviors
[00:26:47] are determined by genetic programming. This is not the case
[00:26:51] for mammals.
[00:26:54] This little jaguar, about 2 months old, still lives with its
[00:26:57] mother and has everything to learn: touch,
[00:27:01] smell, listen, taste, and gradually
[00:27:05] appropriate its domain. For it, it is in the middle of a practical
[00:27:08] lesson, not a theoretical one. But
[00:27:12] the other inhabitants of the forest ignore these distinctions. For the
[00:27:15] sloth, the smell of approaching felines commands it
[00:27:18] to regain the treetops
[00:27:20] as quickly as possible,
[00:27:23] because the female jaguar has just scented its
[00:27:27] presence.
[00:27:28] leaving her
[00:27:46] cub alone, even for a short time, is never without
[00:27:49] risk, especially since it has no awareness of danger, and is interested
[00:27:52] in everything that moves.
[00:27:54] In such a hostile habitat, it is
[00:28:00] good to have your mother behind you at all
[00:28:06] about life does not come without bad experiences. The young
[00:28:10] jaguar will have to have one to at least know who to be
[00:28:12] wary of.
