[00:01:40] and management in case in case
[00:01:42] of inhalation to follow shortly, this is the summary of this
[00:01:46] 1 PM newscast, now the details, let's open this news
[00:01:50] in diplomacy, the reform of the United Nations Security Council
[00:01:53] continues to be on Africa's diplomatic agenda
[00:01:56] as a major and strategic
[00:02:00] demand, the issue is at the heart of discussions between the foreign
[00:02:03] ministers of the countries that
[00:02:06] session, the Minister of make up the African Union's Committee of 10, the
[00:02:09] Congo was represented by Minister Constance Serge Bunda
[00:02:12] Tripoli, here is the report by Barol Agnolo.
[00:02:16] Among the foreign ministers here in Tripoli, the Congolese
[00:02:19] Constance Serge Bunda, all show their willingness for a
[00:02:23] common position in order to
[00:02:24] borders in addition to the rest of correct an anomaly in history, the under-representation of the African
[00:02:28] continent in the United Nations Security Council for the
[00:02:32] Republic of Congo, whose voice is carried by Minister Constance Serge
[00:02:35] Munda, the Tripoli meeting
[00:02:38] subscribed to, particularly under aims to coordinate African diplomacy.
[00:02:41] As a guideline, it is about supporting a more
[00:02:44] just and more representative reform of the multilateral system with
[00:02:48] one objective, at least two permanent seats for
[00:02:52] Africa. The ministers do not stop at the number of seats, they
[00:02:56] have evoked for Africa the same prerogatives as those of
[00:02:59] other current
[00:03:02] butane gas is causing concerns within permanent members, including the right of veto, as well as five non-permanent
[00:03:05] seats. The ministers reject any formula that
[00:03:09] Commerce, Supplies, and would place future
[00:03:11] Consumption, in charge of African permanent representatives in a secondary position,
[00:03:13] beyond principle, the challenge in Tripoli is to transform international
[00:03:17] support for this demand into concrete
[00:03:21] progress in the negotiations. The Pact for
[00:03:23] the Future commits us to remedying the historical
[00:03:26] injustice done to Africa and to recognizing
[00:03:30] the need to treat its representation as a special
[00:03:35] consultations with the various stakeholders in case. This commitment must
[00:03:38] the President of the now be explicitly translated into the
[00:03:41] negotiation texts and into any consolidated reform
[00:03:44] model. In parallel, the African Union
[00:03:48] would benefit from deepening its
[00:03:51] reflection on the selection criteria,
[00:03:53] rotation and accountability of its future
[00:03:56] representatives in order to anticipate the requirements
[00:04:00] of a reformed Security Council. The
[00:04:03] participation of Congo in this meeting confirms its
[00:04:07] solidarity with the continent and its support for a more
[00:04:10] equitable multilateralism, as President
[00:04:13] Denis Sassou Nguesso has always emphasized.
[00:04:17] Africa, once again, asks for neither privilege nor
[00:04:20] favor, it demands justice, equity and
[00:04:24] recognition of its legitimate place in global
[00:04:27] governance. Our collective responsibility is to
[00:04:31] ensure that future generations are no
[00:04:34] longer forced to denounce the same
[00:04:36] injustice. Africa has shown
[00:04:39] patience, it has shown respect, it has shown
[00:04:43] unity, it now belongs to the international community
[00:04:47] to show real political
[00:04:50] will. I cannot conclude my
[00:04:53] remarks without reiterating to this august
[00:04:56] assembly the ambition of the Republic of
[00:04:59] Congo to carry our collective
[00:05:01] voice by presenting itself as a non-permanent
[00:05:04] member of the Security Council for the period
[00:05:08] 2030 - 2031 and we
[00:05:11] are already seeking your support at the end of the
[00:05:14] discussions between the foreign ministers here in Tripoli,
[00:05:18] the message is to make the reform of the Security Council
[00:05:22] a concrete step forward for Africa and not a new
[00:05:25] promise without a future.
[00:05:28] In economy, in the process of elaborating the national development plan
[00:05:32] 2027-2031, the Minister of Economy, Planning, Statistics and
[00:05:36] Forecasting Ludovic had a working
[00:05:39] session with development partners, notably
[00:05:42] representatives of multilateral financial institutions established in
[00:05:46] Congo. This is a consultation meeting that allows to gather
[00:05:50] their recommendations and to encourage the mobilization of resources to
[00:05:53] finance the projects that will be selected in the upcoming
[00:05:57] PND. The commentary is by Léonard
[00:05:59] Pondi. The government is working to provide Congo for the
[00:06:03] period 2027-2031
[00:06:05] with a realistic, inclusive and attractive
[00:06:09] national development plan in terms of its financing. A plan that
[00:06:12] will be the first step of the Congo 2063
[00:06:15] vision. In the dynamic of its
[00:06:18] elaboration and after the
[00:06:22] the workshop held from September 23 to 25 in
[00:06:25] Kintélé, it is useful to consult development
[00:06:28] partners, share national
[00:06:31] priorities with them and prepare the mobilization of
[00:06:35] funding. The elaboration of the national development plan requires
[00:06:38] that the process be participatory, so
[00:06:41] today's meeting was a consultation with
[00:06:45] partners, friends of Congo, we wanted
[00:06:48] to listen to them, hear them, receive
[00:06:52] their observations on what is being done and perhaps they also
[00:06:55] give their opinion on the continuation of what we are going
[00:06:58] to do and what they want from Congo. The meeting was attended
[00:07:02] by, among others, representatives of United Nations system agencies,
[00:07:05] the World Bank, the International Monetary
[00:07:09] Fund, the African Development Bank,
[00:07:12] the French Development Agency as well as some
[00:07:16] diplomats. Opening the
[00:07:19] Economy, Planning, Statistics and
[00:07:23] Forecasting emphasized the coherence between the
[00:07:26] upcoming PND, the Congo 2063 vision
[00:07:30] and the international programs in which
[00:07:33] Congo is committed. The future PND
[00:07:36] should ensure an articulation
[00:07:39] between this long-term vision and the priorities
[00:07:43] retained in the PNG. It should
[00:07:46] also take into account the commitments our country has
[00:07:51] the United Nations 2030 Agenda, the African
[00:07:54] Union Agenda, Agenda 2063. In
[00:07:57] this perspective, the government intends to prioritize
[00:08:01] interventions likely to produce significant effects on the
[00:08:05] transformation of our economy, competitiveness,
[00:08:08] employment, human capital development, infrastructure,
[00:08:12] the valorization of our natural resources with a view to improving
[00:08:16] the living conditions of the population. A presentation was made of the
[00:08:19] main axes of the future national development plan, the
[00:08:23] progress made in the process of its
[00:08:26] elaboration, the major challenges and the role of
[00:08:30] technical and financial partners. This was
[00:08:33] followed by exchanges that allowed technical and financial
[00:08:36] partners to formulate recommendations concerning the
[00:08:40] implementation of reforms, structural transformation,
[00:08:44] the establishment of implementation and monitoring
[00:08:47] structures for the PND and
[00:08:51] Republic's societal project. We had convergences of views on
[00:08:55] all the priorities that must be implemented
[00:08:58] and we reaffirmed to the Minister our
[00:09:02] alignment with this
[00:09:06] new planning framework that is being finalized so that it
[00:09:09] becomes the common engine and vehicle that guides
[00:09:13] all our interventions for the
[00:09:16] realization of this Congolese transformation. At the end of the discussions,
[00:09:20] Minister Ludovic Ngatze indicated some particularities
[00:09:23] of the PND
[00:09:25] 2027-2031.
[00:09:28] In the framework of this plan, what will change is that we have truly taken into
[00:09:32] account all the weaknesses that have been
[00:09:35] mentioned in the diagnostic of Congo's
[00:09:38] current situation, but also in the implementation of previous
[00:09:42] plans, namely an insufficient implementation of preliminary
[00:09:46] reforms, but also the fact that we have always relied on
[00:09:49] public resources that are not elastic, and
[00:09:53] so in the framework of this plan, the focus will be on improving
[00:09:56] the business climate, structural reforms to allow the
[00:09:59] private sector to accompany us in the implementation of structuring
[00:10:03] projects that allow us to concretize the president's
[00:10:07] societal project and improve the quality of public
[00:10:10] services. The recommendations formulated by technical
[00:10:14] and financial partners will serve to enrich the
[00:10:17] PND strategy on which experts
[00:10:20] are currently working. Bruno
[00:10:25] Energy and Hydraulics of Congo,
[00:10:27] completed his official working mission in Kinshasa. He met
[00:10:31] with his counterpart from the Democratic Republic of Congo,
[00:10:34] Aimé Sakombi Molendo, Minister of
[00:10:38] Electricity, to examine key issues such as the
[00:10:41] Pioka Tombé project. All of this in this report signed
[00:10:45] Cyril
[00:10:47] Minister of Energy and Hydraulics, Bruno Jean-Richard Itoua, on October 9,
[00:10:51] 2026, in Kinshasa, on a working mission where he held
[00:10:55] important discussions with his counterpart from the Democratic Republic of
[00:10:58] Congo, Aimé Sakombi Molendo, Minister of Hydraulic
[00:11:02] Electricity. The discussions focused on the
[00:11:05] Pioka Tombé hydroelectric project, the
[00:11:09] energy friendship loop, and electrical interconnections. United by history,
[00:11:12] geography, and the shared Congo River, the governments of the two countries
[00:11:16] are committing their resources and priorities to valorizing this
[00:11:19] actionable potential, stated Minister Sakombi Molendo. Our
[00:11:23] efforts towards a common
[00:11:26] goal: to strengthen the interconnection of our
[00:11:30] electrical systems, secure energy exchanges, and
[00:11:33] sustainably improve our populations' access to
[00:11:36] electricity. The signing of the memorandum of understanding related to the
[00:11:40] friendship loop project marks today a decisive
[00:11:43] step forward. It sets the institutional, technical, and
[00:11:47] operational framework necessary to sustainably connect
[00:11:51] Pointe-Noire, Brazzaville, Kinshasa,
[00:11:54] and the complementarity of our reasons. For Minister Bruno
[00:11:58] Jean-Richard Itoua, this bilateral dynamic aims to formalize
[00:12:02] electrical interdependence and to pool production capacities
[00:12:05] between the two banks of the river in order to accelerate
[00:12:08] sub-regional integration. We have the responsibility, the
[00:12:12] Minister and I, to
[00:12:14] concretely translate the will of the heads of state of the two countries to
[00:12:18] build an energy bridge between the two countries based on the extraordinary
[00:12:22] potential that exists here in the DRC in terms of energy, which is a little less
[00:12:25] here in Congo, but the two together, it will
[00:12:29] certainly be even stronger and more powerful for the benefit of our populations, but
[00:12:33] also to support the desire for
[00:12:37] economic development and growth that marks our two
[00:12:40] heads of state and our two countries, if only
[00:12:42] concerning mining projects on both sides
[00:12:46] of the two
[00:12:49] the industry that today
[00:12:52] has an extraordinary appetite
[00:12:56] for energy and we must at all costs respond to that because that is what
[00:13:00] will transform our countries. Beyond the agreements, the technical evaluation of transport
[00:13:03] infrastructure is accelerating on the ground, illustrated by the inspection
[00:13:07] mission carried out along the Brazzaville to Pointe-Noire axis with a view to doubling the
[00:13:11] lines. This protocol and the commitment of the authorities have made energy a
[00:13:15] major lever for economic development and improving the
[00:13:18] living conditions of the population.
[00:13:21] In Brazzaville, the rise in the entry price for the distribution of
[00:13:27] the sector. To examine this situation and preserve the
[00:13:30] purchasing power of households, the Minister of
[00:13:36] SAF, Jacqueline Mikolo, met with
[00:13:39] distributors and then gas consumers, with the objective of
[00:13:42] supplying markets with butane products and respecting
[00:13:45] regulated prices. Noémie Cokot,
[00:13:49] anxious to preserve the balance of the national butane market,
[00:13:53] Jacqueline Lidia Mikolo, Minister of Supplies and Consumption in charge of
[00:13:56] Zelikaf, initiated
[00:14:00] the sector. At issue is the entry price for distribution, which rose from
[00:14:04] 200 to 300 CFA francs per kilogram, an increase of
[00:14:07] 50%, while the selling price to consumers remains
[00:14:11] fixed at 512 CFA francs per kilogram. This is a problem
[00:14:15] for us consumers right now. The 12 kg bottle used to be
[00:14:19] 6400 francs, there was even a note for that, I even have it on my phone. In December, it was during the holidays, I bought a bottle
[00:14:22] de décembre, c'était pendant les faites j'avais acheté la bouteille
[00:14:25] of gas for 10,000 francs and also paid for delivery, which brings it to 11,000 francs
[00:14:29] for a 12 kg bottle, I think that's too much. I thought it was just during
[00:14:32] the holidays, but currently the gas bottle is still high compared
[00:14:36] to the price circulating, compared to the note. I would say to Mrs.
[00:14:40] Jacqueline Lidia Mikolo, the Minister of Commerce, to
[00:14:44] review this problem, really, Mom, please review this problem, it's
[00:14:47] really very expensive, I put everything in Mom's
[00:14:51] hands, I know we'll have a very good solution soon. The Minister
[00:14:54] received the distributors, who presented their difficulties,
[00:14:58] particularly supply constraints, costs related to
[00:15:01] tolls and fuel, as well as the charges that weigh
[00:15:04] on their activities. They also mentioned the discrepancies between the
[00:15:08] costs incurred and the price structure set in October
[00:15:11] 2018. We have noticed since April
[00:15:14] 2025,
[00:15:17] because we were the first to effectively conclude with O,
[00:15:20] so the price we practice is 330, so
[00:15:24] the price of... I remember the price earlier, the price of 200 francs,
[00:15:27] Wingwa practices a price of 330, and so there is an additional cost of
[00:15:31] 130, and I think some officials here know the
[00:15:35] problem very well because we had several discussions in January 2020. We
[00:15:39] resist because, well, in some ways we also have to satisfy the population,
[00:15:43] so we have taken all possible diligent steps with the authorities,
[00:15:46] so we expect the authorities to find a solution to this.
[00:15:50] Today there is a new factor: tolls. In the existing
[00:15:54] or current price structure, toll posts are not at all
[00:15:57] mentioned, and these tolls are borne exclusively by the
[00:16:01] operating companies. The Minister then met with the
[00:16:06] the company and led by its Deputy Director in charge
[00:16:10] of Finance, Yujina. The discussions mainly focused on
[00:16:14] the supply of raw materials and price setting.
[00:16:17] The imputation is done on the
[00:16:20] basis of a unit of butane, equipment
[00:16:24] installation and machines, so
[00:16:27] the total investment only for butane units
[00:16:31] is
[00:16:32] 121,376
[00:16:37] UFC. The total of taxes and other
[00:16:40] levies is 67.40
[00:16:43] francs per kilogram. Here, we
[00:16:47] have recoverable gas costs, which is
[00:16:51] 231 CFA francs per, and then there are
[00:16:55] operating costs estimated at 2%, which is
[00:16:59] 160 CFA francs per kilo. So in the
[00:17:02] end, we found the available profits of the
[00:17:06] Wingoir company to be 25 XP per
[00:17:09] kilogram. At the end of the session, Jacqueline Lidia
[00:17:13] Mikolo emphasized the need to re-examine the agreements
[00:17:16] concluded between the government and the operators, as well as the
[00:17:20] price-setting mechanisms, in order to preserve the interests of all
[00:17:24] stakeholders, from producer to consumer. We cannot
[00:17:27] sell at prices that are not approved.
[00:17:31] While waiting for a new price structure, the services of the
[00:17:35] Ministry of Commerce will ensure that the
[00:17:38] circular or decree of 2018 remains in
[00:17:42] force, and violators will deal with the
[00:17:45] authorized services. Similarly,
[00:17:48] in our discussions, we not only have the stick, we especially have the
[00:17:52] carrot. A product, you
[00:17:55] know, is a very sensitive product. I do not want
[00:17:58] to be subjected to fluctuations without the public
[00:18:02] services, the government, and therefore the Ministry of Commerce, addressing the
[00:18:05] issue. But we will continue
[00:18:08] the discussion so that we arrive at a price structure, certainly in a
[00:18:12] collegial manner within the government. We are in the process of finding the right balance. There
[00:18:16] is a draft decree in
[00:18:18] circulation that we are working on, but before the government
[00:18:22] makes its final decision, we wanted to have
[00:18:26] this exchange with you, on the ground, of course,
[00:18:30] because our common concern is not to burden
[00:18:33] households further. There will be an intensification of the
[00:18:37] role, so the brigades for the repression of
[00:18:40] fraud in the districts of Brazzaville, Pointe Noire and the interior of the
[00:18:44] country will ensure that the price of gas complies with regulatory
[00:18:48] texts. We will also work to
[00:18:51] ensure that there are rigorous and even vigorous sanctions
[00:18:55] against offenders. These instructions will be given in
[00:18:58] writing very soon to the authorized services within the
[00:19:02] Ministry of Commerce. We will also, of course,
[00:19:05] draw the attention of consumers to
[00:19:09] vigilance. The problems are known and
[00:19:12] we will also be the spokespersons for
[00:19:16] your concerns regarding tolls, regarding
[00:19:19] entry costs,
[00:19:22] solutions. The minister also reminded that until further
[00:19:26] notice, the applicable prices remain those set by the October
[00:19:30] 2018 decree. She thus called for compliance with the regulations in
[00:19:33] force to avoid any market disruption.
[00:19:38] In Epena, in Likouala, floods disrupt the daily
[00:19:41] lives of the populations in this district. Faced with rising
[00:19:45] waters, residents must cope with displacement difficulties,
[00:19:48] threats to their homes, and the consequences of this disaster
[00:19:52] on their economic activities. A delegation led by the Minister
[00:19:55] of State Control, Public Service Quality, and the Fight against
[00:19:59] Undervalue, Léonard Noël Esongo, went to the site
[00:20:03] to assess the extent of the disaster.
[00:20:06] catastrophe.
[00:20:10] The rising waters now dictate the daily lives of residents, the progression
[00:20:14] of the waters complicates the displacement of populations, homes in
[00:20:17] the water, many families under the stars for about 1 month, more than
[00:20:21] 10,000 inhabitants are affected by this phenomenon, livestock finds
[00:20:24] refuge on the paved road. Life is very difficult for us here, you
[00:20:28] have noticed that we are starting to abandon our homes to move out. In
[00:20:32] 2 days we will be settled on the paved road because even
[00:20:36] in our houses there is water below and you are above,
[00:20:39] so it's two and we have small children, all that, it's the
[00:20:43] field visit carried out by the Minister of State Control, Public Service
[00:20:47] Quality and the Fight against Values.
[00:21:20] He thought that he could not
[00:21:22] leave for Brazzaville
[00:21:25] without seeing firsthand
[00:21:29] the cyclical phenomenon, the Likouala department impacted
[00:21:32] by the rainy climate,
[00:21:36] southern Cameroon and southern Central African Republic, and so
[00:21:39] it rains abundantly, noting
[00:21:42] that the populations are losing
[00:21:45] everything, I believe that the government of the
[00:21:48] republic will not give up, will not
[00:21:52] abandon helping the populations.
[00:21:55] So far, no deaths or illnesses have been
[00:21:59] reported, but families fear the resurgence of waterborne
[00:22:02] diseases such as diarrhea and
[00:22:04] cholera.
[00:22:06] In health, we will talk about amniotic fluid. Some
[00:22:09] newborns present, from the first minutes of life, respiratory
[00:22:13] difficulties related to the aspiration of this fluid, a
[00:22:16] situation that occurs during childbirth and can lead to
[00:22:20] more or less serious complications in the baby. What are the
[00:22:23] causes? How do health professionals manage these
[00:22:27] newborns? Magalie Mond gives us an
[00:22:30] answer.
[00:22:32] Amniotic fluid, a true cocoon in which
[00:22:36] the fetus develops for 9 months, is essential for its life before
[00:22:39] birth. But at the time of delivery, this same
[00:22:43] fluid can become a threat when it is
[00:22:46] aspirated by the newborn and reaches its respiratory tract.
[00:22:50] In Brazzaville, some women interviewed know this
[00:22:53] phenomenon because they have experienced it or witnessed
[00:22:56] it. Yes, my child faced this
[00:23:00] problem because I gave birth to twins by C-section, the
[00:23:04] first one did not present any risk, but the
[00:23:07] second one, given the delay, had aspirated this
[00:23:10] fluid, he was quickly taken care of for
[00:23:14] a whole day, then we were asked to go home
[00:23:17] since he no longer presented any risks. He is well
[00:23:21] to this day. For
[00:23:23] me, this fluid is a danger for the baby, because if the baby
[00:23:27] inhales this fluid, it can expose him to several
[00:23:30] complications that can lead to death. For this phenomenon, we went
[00:23:34] to a health center. According to the
[00:23:37] midwife we met, the aspiration of amniotic
[00:23:41] fluid by the newborn can be linked to certain
[00:23:44] complications occurring during childbirth,
[00:23:47] poor pushing by the
[00:23:50] mother, fatigue or insufficient pushing
[00:23:54] efforts can promote these
[00:23:57] complications. During childbirth, the baby
[00:23:59] inhales amniotic fluid precisely because
[00:24:03] that mum's head,
[00:24:06] lastly, the baby being in the vaginal
[00:24:10] canal, cannot pray
[00:24:13] because he wants to clear his
[00:24:16] lungs, this aspiration can lead to several problems for
[00:24:20] the health of the newborn, neonatal infections and
[00:24:24] respiratory, neurological or
[00:24:27] cardiac complications, in the most serious cases, the prognosis
[00:24:31] may be compromised if the care is not
[00:24:34] immediate. When the baby is born without apparent signs of
[00:24:37] life, neonatal resuscitation must be
[00:24:41] performed urgently. The consequences that can happen are
[00:24:45] infection,
[00:24:47] if the baby who has an apnea. who does not react
[00:24:51] immediately, if he is born in a state of apparent death,
[00:24:55] resuscitation must be done within the first 5 minutes, we must
[00:24:59] react immediately, now if the resuscitation
[00:25:02] is delayed compared to his inhalation, he doesn't react
[00:25:05] and all, we see the consequences are also, there
[00:25:09] are babies like that who can, a
[00:25:12] neuropathic delay because the neurons
[00:25:15] are destroyed, death can
[00:25:18] occur. due to delayed
[00:25:21] care, but when he drinks the
[00:25:24] amniotic fluid, when he comes out
[00:25:28] we have the bulb syringe
[00:25:31] which allows us to
[00:25:33] clear the respiratory
[00:25:36] tract, so we go to the mouth, we aspirate with the bulb syringe
[00:25:39] or the penguin normally, we clear the baby's
[00:25:43] airways with the bulb syringe, and if we find
[00:25:45] that the baby is not crying, the baby doesn't
[00:25:49] react. then we go with the blood
[00:25:53] normally we warm the baby and everything as soon as he
[00:25:56] cries the care is
[00:25:59] done. As midwives,
[00:26:03] we stop at
[00:26:06] clearing the respiratory tract, to
[00:26:10] limit the risks, health professionals recommend
[00:26:14] regular prenatal monitoring for pregnant women and
[00:26:17] increased vigilance from the moment of water breaking to allow for rapid
[00:26:21] and patient care. The
[00:26:25] issues of violence against women were on the discussion
[00:26:28] table of the 2nd conference of the social rights organizing committee
[00:26:32] CODS by acronym, a conference held under the leadership of
[00:26:36] Rosa Moore Pavellich, president of this committee. Once again
[00:26:40] Magayandon.
[00:26:43] a minute of silence is observed in memory of all
[00:26:46] women victims of violence. Violence
[00:26:49] which, in reality, remains a major concern throughout the
[00:26:53] world, an opportunity for the
[00:26:55] representative from the Democratic Republic of
[00:26:58] Congo to insist on the need to break the silence
[00:27:02] surrounding these acts of violence, one of the highlights of this
[00:27:05] meeting, the simulation
[00:27:09] justice in the face of violence against women and
[00:27:12] raised public awareness of judicial procedures. We remind you that
[00:27:16] the courtroom is a place of justice and demands
[00:27:20] responsible, respectful and dignified

[00:27:47] sir denied his presence at the time of the tragedy, his own
[00:27:50] niece, direct witness, claims to have seen him
[00:27:54] deliver the fatal blow. Following
[00:27:56] these facts, the cook was placed in detention and
