[00:02:34] good evening Minister, once again, very good evening

[00:02:44] to invest in human capital, he makes health campaign? Well, thank you very much, I
[00:02:47] would like first of all to recall a fundamental
[00:02:51] principle, yes, I would like to
[00:02:54] recall it, uh, of our public action, it
[00:02:57] is about the collegiality of the... governmental,
[00:03:01] diplomacy. We will talk about it is important to know that the Ministry in charge of the advancement of women is a
[00:03:05] ministry with a transversal vocation, we find women
[00:03:09] in all our public policies, particularly in matters
[00:03:12] of health, in matters of
[00:03:16] joint patronage of the Minister of social protection, we find women at the level of
[00:03:18] economic empowerment, we find them in

[00:03:26] several things, so indeed to promote
[00:03:29] women, to promote women,
[00:03:33] as well as for the preservation of to defend their rights, also to allow them to have access to
[00:03:36] to to awareness, access to information,
[00:03:39] access to education and support to
[00:03:42] adequate health centers, very good
[00:03:45] then Minister, why combine Pink October and Turquoise
[00:03:49] September in the same campaign? very well, we
[00:03:52] just wanted euh to highlight two
[00:03:56] major public health
[00:03:58] civic duties and the problems, notably... which are directly related to women,
[00:04:02] Pink October is because we have the fight against
[00:04:06] breast cancer, and Turquoise September is for the fight against
[00:04:10] gynecological cancers, and we thought that by combining the two, we
[00:04:14] would be able to draw the attention of women,
[00:04:18] public authorities and all those who can
[00:04:21] indeed help
[00:04:23] budget for the us to bring this fight to a successful conclusion, and do you have a last
[00:04:28] the preliminary draft program budget for word? well already... to say that we
[00:04:31] started the launch of this campaign with a press
[00:04:35] conference and we will continue euh tomorrow
[00:04:38] Tuesday 13th euh at 1pm from
[00:04:41] 1pm congress and we will
[00:04:44] continue we will be this launch
[00:04:47] in the hall and we will continue of course
[00:04:50] with other activities notably at the
[00:04:55] evaluating the debt of Pink
[00:04:56] Minister Delegate for Youth and Turquoise village and this village is located at the premises of the center.
[00:05:00] Rombara opposite Remo and we have several
[00:05:03] activities to conduct euh together with
[00:05:06] all the the the the the
[00:05:09] managers all the the the people.
[00:05:12] health personnel and we can
[00:05:15] also say that the
[00:05:18] Pink Turquoise village will remain the center of
[00:05:21] awareness from the 13th to
[00:05:24] October 30th, awareness, information,
[00:05:28] our role is simply to draw the attention of Congolese
[00:05:32] women, of young girls that this is a
[00:05:35] serious problem, you are not you are unaware
[00:05:39] that the two cancers that are most prevalent in Congo are
[00:05:42] breast cancer and cervical cancer, but
[00:05:46] cervical cancer is an avoidable cancer, meaning
[00:05:50] that it can be avoided and breast cancer perhaps
[00:05:53] not, but only prevention,
[00:05:55] awareness can allow us to fight against this
[00:05:59] scourge that affects many Congolese women
[00:06:03] today. I would like to remind you of one thing, just as a
[00:06:06] reminder of the statistics, well in
[00:06:09] 2024 we had nearly... 3000
[00:06:12] deaths, women died from breast
[00:06:16] cancer, so we also call on men
[00:06:20] and the acquisition of of
[00:06:24] positive masculinity to be able to join because
[00:06:28] men are concerned, they must be aware of how this
[00:06:31] happens, if there are men who raise their children and how to accompany
[00:06:35] their wife in case of illness, men must arrive and
[00:06:39] it must also be remembered that men also...
[00:06:43] euh have cancer, it's true that it's not
[00:06:47] it's perhaps 5% euh compared to women, but
[00:06:50] men are also concerned by blood cancer and indeed
[00:06:54] they can help with family awareness,
[00:06:57] so it's very important, so I invite all women
[00:07:00] to come and join us tomorrow at the
[00:07:04] congress palace and to
[00:07:08] be able to support us throughout these
[00:07:11] activities. 27 I also wanted to remind
[00:07:14] you that the planned walk program
[00:07:17] Wednesday euh Wednesday
[00:07:20] 15th is postponed due to
[00:07:23] calendar constraints of the government and is
[00:07:26] postponed to Saturday 17th and
[00:07:30] so voilà we have the Pink
[00:07:33] Turquoise village apart from some activities that we will carry out with the
[00:07:37] foundation, that's what I could say, the
[00:07:41] message has been euh launched, thank you Minister
[00:07:44] for all these clarifications and I wish you an excellent rest of the
[00:07:48] evening, thank you very much for having me in my comfort zone, thank you for
[00:07:52] the next newspaper, protecting your vision through screening,
[00:07:55] that's the meaning of the free campaign launched at the
[00:07:59] Blanche Gommez specialized mother-child hospital on the occasion of International
[00:08:03] White Cane Day. Until October 15th,

[00:08:10] examined using advanced equipment.
[00:08:13] Immersion in the heart of the ophthalmology department of this hospital with Druche
[00:08:17] Ngoro and Roland
[00:08:18] Mossaakindu.
[00:08:23] This is an initiative that informed and sensitized
[00:08:26] quadragenarians and seniors about the dangers of
[00:08:29] glaucoma. It is part of the International White Cane
[00:08:33] Day 2026, celebrated
[00:08:35] under the theme White Cane and gas stop. Through this
[00:08:39] campaign, we particularly wish to.
[00:08:42] sensitize women and men over
[00:08:46] 40, because age is one of the main risk
[00:08:50] factors for glaucoma,
[00:08:52] we strongly encourage them not to wait
[00:08:55] for the appearance of visual disturbances to consult,
[00:08:59] taking a few minutes to get screened today
[00:09:03] can help preserve your vision for years to
[00:09:07] come. For this campaign, hospital ophthalmologists
[00:09:10] have equipped themselves with cutting-edge technology,
[00:09:13] slit lamp, visual field examination, retinal
[00:09:16] photography or even OCT imaging,
[00:09:20] everything is deployed to analyze the eye in the smallest detail and make an
[00:09:24] extremely precise diagnosis,
[00:09:27] in the context of the fight against glaucoma, which is a
[00:09:31] chronic eye pathology whose evolution is
[00:09:34] generally fatal towards irreversible blindness, and we have
[00:09:37] decided to launch this campaign whose goal is
[00:09:41] to inform. and to screen, the reception is
[00:09:44] waiting for all patients wishing to know their visual
[00:09:48] health status, we take the opportunity to do something else, notably
[00:09:51] euh to check his vision and we have just realized
[00:09:55] that without glasses he cannot be comfortable, so
[00:09:59] he has a problem with far vision and near
[00:10:02] vision, and for that he will have his corrective glasses, these
[00:10:06] kinds of initiatives would be desirable for them to be perennial because
[00:10:09] these are very good initiatives that can help the
[00:10:12] population, it should be noted that the specialized hospital for children
[00:10:16] Blanche Gommez now has complete high-quality
[00:10:19] equipment for all consultations related to vision, to have

[00:11:13] the management of certain congenital malformations,
[00:11:17] hypospadias and epispadias, but
[00:11:20] also anorectal
[00:11:23] disease. conditions that require specialized
[00:11:27] medical expertise and in some cases early
[00:11:30] surgical intervention, beyond surgical procedures, this
[00:11:34] campaign also provides an opportunity to strengthen the skills of medical
[00:11:37] teams and promote better management of pediatric
[00:11:41] surgical pathologies, we want to link theory to
[00:11:44] practice, so that all health
[00:11:48] personnel
[00:11:51] child, we speak the same language, the language is: what
[00:11:55] is a malformation, how to operate it? so euh,

[00:12:16] are part of the dynamic undertaken by the Ministry of Health and Population
[00:12:19] in strengthening the specialized care offer for

[00:12:45] professionals, development partners,
[00:12:48] families and society as a whole. By uniting
[00:12:52] our efforts, by valuing our national
[00:12:55] competencies and by strengthening our
[00:12:57] partnerships, we can progress towards
[00:13:01] a more efficient pediatric system, more
[00:13:05] accessible and

[00:17:10] experienced live on a giant screen from the economic
[00:17:13] capital Pointe Noire, the
[00:17:17] emphasized by the first young committee. This mobilization
[00:17:20] demonstrates our support for the very great comrade Denis Assunguesso
[00:17:24] as well as for the government, because the Congolese rising force was
[00:17:28] created to relay its actions on the ground. We know
[00:17:32] that education is the foundation of a society,
[00:17:35] marking its presence at this event. Marvin Macoso urged the
[00:17:39] members to remain fully mobilized for such
[00:17:41] initiatives in order to better translate their commitment

[00:17:48] defined at school. Pointe Noire, which is
[00:17:51] considered the heart of the support of the very great comrade
[00:17:54] Denis Sasungeso, also benefits from these
[00:17:57] advantages. Looking towards Brazzaville, among the young people
[00:18:01] present, Kanda came to commune with the active youth of the

[00:18:12] more for education and development, in his social
[00:18:15] project, the acceleration of the march towards development, the very great comrade
[00:18:18] President Assou, he promised
[00:18:22] education a priority of priorities, because these educational
[00:18:25] achievements that are built everywhere in the country, it is up to us to make good
[00:18:29] use of them, for them their unfailing support, this live
[00:18:32] retransmission of the inauguration of the Angola Libre school complex,
[00:18:36] a concrete action of the government was a new opportunity to reaffirm their
[00:18:40] attachment to republican values through education and the ideals of the

[00:18:46] The flag ceremony took place this Monday, October 12, 2026, at the
[00:18:50] Technical High School "5 Février", placed under the
[00:18:53] Technical and Vocational Education, Fulgence
[00:18:56] Alcole, and the Minister Delegate in charge of Youth and Civic
[00:19:00] Education, Prince Micris Kamboco. This ceremony was
[00:19:03] marked by calls for respect for the symbols of the Republic,
[00:19:07] for civic and moral education,
[00:19:10] peace in schools. Report by Lambert
[00:19:12] Fabrice
[00:19:15] Coco. The national flag raised at the Technical High School "5 Février",
[00:19:19] this Monday, October 12, 2026, placed under the joint patronage of
[00:19:23] the Minister of Technical and
[00:19:25] Vocational Education
[00:19:27] and the Minister Delegate in charge of Youth and Civic Education, Prince
[00:19:31] Michrist Cabamboko, this flag-raising ceremony was a moment to recall
[00:19:36] importance of civic education. As for the flag-raising
[00:19:39] ceremony, it was to be held
[00:19:43] twice a week, on
[00:19:46] Monday and
[00:19:48] Saturday, and the idea was
[00:19:52] that each school principal
[00:19:55] should internalize this and
[00:19:58] enforce it. The flag-raising
[00:20:01] ceremony is not just a ritual,
[00:20:04] but it is...
[00:20:07] a commitment to the Republic, because
[00:20:11] the flag symbolizes the
[00:20:14] nation, the flag symbolizes the
[00:20:17] Republic. This solemn moment was intended to be a
[00:20:21] space for civic education, it reminds students that
[00:20:25] national symbols embody unity, sovereignty and
[00:20:28] national identity, an element on which the
[00:20:34] Civic Education, Prince Mick Kabamboco, returned, calling
[00:20:37] for an end to uncivil behavior and respect for the Republic,
[00:20:41] by deciding to come to school and therefore be under the
[00:20:45] flag, by deciding to take this motto
[00:20:49] which begins with... discipline, you have, dear friends, made
[00:20:53] the choice to be true
[00:20:56] actors in the development of our
[00:21:00] the Republic of Congo. However, this
[00:21:04] omen gives me the opportunity to recall a few salient
[00:21:07] facts. Two years ago, on
[00:21:11] February 5, 2024, it
[00:21:13] was then that the national flag was
[00:21:17] desecrated, that is to say, young people like
[00:21:21] yourselves decided deliberately to
[00:21:23] replace the national
[00:21:27] flag that you see here with
[00:21:30] another flag that they had made, on which
[00:21:34] one could read some phrases
[00:21:36] of a certain kind: we believe that acts
[00:21:40] of incivility that took place
[00:21:43] here which here
[00:21:45] took place through, including
[00:21:49] disorder. during classes, well these acts
[00:21:53] must not be accepted or tolerated. The Minister Delegate
[00:21:57] in charge of Youth and Civic Education insisted on the
[00:22:00] importance of civic and moral education as well as on the
[00:22:03] need to preserve peace in schools. The government of the
[00:22:07] republic, under his Excellency
[00:22:11] the republic, Head of State has dedicated a specific
[00:22:15] sub-sector to issues of civic
[00:22:18] education. This opportunity also gives
[00:22:22] me the opportunity and following what the Minister of
[00:22:26] Technical Education wished to do a few days ago to announce the
[00:22:30] gradual return to
[00:22:32] school of an important subject, namely
[00:22:36] civic and moral education for peace. This flag-raising
[00:22:39] ceremony, which is undoubtedly part of the action plan of the Minister
[00:22:44] Civic Education, goes beyond a simple ritual. It
[00:22:48] becomes a real moment of education. of awareness and
[00:22:52] civic engagement.
[00:22:55] Economy chapter: the Invest in Congo Economic Forum
[00:22:58] 2026 is preparing to welcome nearly
[00:23:01] 500 participants to the Palais des Congrès on October 14 and 15
[00:23:04] of this year. As a prelude to this event dedicated
[00:23:08] to investment opportunities and the country's economic development, a
[00:23:11] first delegation from Europe arrived last
[00:23:14] weekend in Brazzaville to contribute to this 2nd
[00:23:18] edition organized by the. Representative Council of Congolese
[00:23:22] Abroad, reacten Loubok: the
[00:23:25] Invest in Congo Economic Forum 2026, announces its
[00:23:29] colors with the arrival of the delegation from France and
[00:23:32] other European countries, entrepreneurs, partners and
[00:23:35] speaker, they set foot on Congolese soil to take part in this
[00:23:39] second edition organized by the High Representative Council
[00:23:43] of Congolese abroad, their ambition is to contribute to the
[00:23:46] dynamic of Congo's development and to strengthening its economic
[00:23:51] diaspora investment, diaspora financing. It's normal that we, the
[00:23:54] diaspora, come in support with the local
[00:23:58] colleges to contribute our share. The
[00:24:01] Invest in Congo Economic Forum 2026 aims to be a
[00:24:05] platform for exchange, sharing of experience, and creation of
[00:24:08] business opportunities between economic actors from the diaspora
[00:24:12] and those from Congo. A few months ago, the Head of State
[00:24:16] announced that the diaspora was an important component and that
[00:24:20] particular emphasis would be placed on it. We heard his message and we are here, so
[00:24:24] we came with partners and we came with experts. He recently
[00:24:27] challenged us and invited us in any
[00:24:30] case to aspire to contribute our part. It's not a matter
[00:24:34] of experience, it's a matter of sharing. We are not saying
[00:24:38] that we are better than others because we are abroad, we are saying that
[00:24:42] we have learned things, we have been disconnected from the country,
[00:24:45] those who are there have learned things and together we want to see
[00:24:49] how... to bridge these things. Beyond
[00:24:52] economic exchanges, this edition also highlights the green
[00:24:56] horizon project implemented on the Brazzaville-Pointe Noire corridor
[00:25:00] with the objective of contributing to the development of
[00:25:03] the agricultural sector. Today there is a focus on agriculture, you
[00:25:06] know, this forum is a forum that will span
[00:25:10] several years, so we set the goal for 2030, but this year
[00:25:14] has a strong focus on agriculture, agribusiness. This forum
[00:25:18] is very important because... not only today, but should
[00:25:21] be important for all time, because when we see
[00:25:25] how communities invest in their
[00:25:27] countries, it's time for Congolese to do the same and now is the time and I
[00:25:31] believe we now need to transform human capital
[00:25:35] into entrepreneurial capital. The appointment is therefore set for October
[00:25:39] 14 and 15 at the Brazzaville Congress Palace, almost 500
[00:25:43] participants came to this 2nd edition of the Invest in Congo
[00:25:46] forum placed under the Ropat 240 label.
[00:25:50] 2 heading to the Sanga department, the prefect of this department
[00:25:54] Victor Gonzami proceeded last Friday to
[00:25:57] visit the main part of the Corridor 13 road, which is under
[00:26:01] construction and... Hope point just a few
[00:26:05] weeks after his enthronement,
[00:26:08] Prefect Victor Ganziami continues to work
[00:26:11] diligently through field visits without counting. Very
[00:26:15] quickly, he visited the Corridor 13 construction site
[00:26:19] up to the temporary bridge on the
[00:26:22] Sanga River to ascertain the progress of
[00:26:26] the work. After the bridge, the prefect and his
[00:26:29] delegation made an inspection stop in
[00:26:32] the village of Mbirou to learn about the daily lives of this alarming
[00:26:36] population, there, on one side,
[00:26:39] hippos frequently prevent fishing
[00:26:44] the other side, elephants ravage fields and destroy
[00:26:48] everything, or almost everything, in their path. This is the first
[00:26:52] time I have come to visit where the Corridor
[00:26:56] 13 bridge would be erected. I came
[00:26:58] to inquire a little about the state of affairs, after the suspension
[00:27:02] of the works and it reassures me that the places are kept
[00:27:06] in a state of
[00:27:09] cleanliness and that the presence of the project
[00:27:12] director for the continuation of the works and the
[00:27:15] presence that reassures us and also I realized that the temporary
[00:27:19] bridge is in good condition which
[00:27:23] will allow the works to resume when the works resume
[00:27:27] everything will go well there are no concerns about that
[00:27:31] and during this
[00:27:33] visit to the village of Mbirou, I realized
[00:27:37] that the populations are in difficulty,
[00:27:43] hippos which prevent the
[00:27:45] populations from going fishing and also the presence
[00:27:49] of pachyderms that are ravaging their fields without
[00:27:52] mercy, and so these are questions that we came to gather, we
[00:27:56] will see what needs to be done
[00:27:59] with the services and then report to the hierarchy. For me, this
[00:28:03] visit is very satisfying, I don't know if
[00:28:06] you realize that the president of the republic is a man of concrete actions and you
[00:28:10] saw that he was able to convince the Mayombe and it's not here that it won't happen and it
[00:28:14] will happen. We will also come back here for the inauguration
[00:28:18] of the construction work on Corridor 13.
