More [00:00:42] details in this commentary by Modeste [00:00:44] Andaille. [00:00:48] in the departments of The district of Kimba in the department [00:00:50] Lasanga, the plateaus, of Jouel ends this October 4, 2026, the atmosphere is [00:00:52] unusual, a deleterious climate caused by divergences between the [00:00:56] es and the populations, mostly young, who work in the... [00:01:00] gold mining site, these divergences almost degenerated into [00:01:03] a disturbing situation, informed the deputy Kimba [00:01:07] Antoine Belly Bokolo Juy made an [00:01:10] emergency visit which led [00:01:12] portal of the Ministry of to a citizen [00:01:13] the age of 96, an age of consultation, committed to the task and strong in his ability to [00:01:16] gather, the elected representative of Kimba addressed the populations and [00:01:20] the landowners directly in the local language, the populations of [00:01:23] Kimba in general and those who work in the mining sites in particular were [00:01:27] sensitized to the scrupulous respect of the new mining [00:01:31] code in force, like a pedagogue, [00:01:34] Bokoe called the populations to [00:01:37] maturity and responsibility for a [00:01:40] strong, united and indivisible Kimba before asking [00:01:43] all companies that set up [00:01:47] in search of to comply with the law. these sites are under the supervision of [00:01:50] companies some of which have research and [00:01:54] exploitation permits, others for prospecting [00:01:56] her itinerary by discovering West permits, and so we made them understand [00:01:59] that they must work in these sites in compliance with the [00:02:02] law and the regulatory framework concerning mining in our country and above all [00:02:06] mines dans notre pays et surtout il [00:02:08] as part of the diversification of they must respect the environment and [00:02:10] the problem is that they asked us to be vigilant with regard to these companies that come, [00:02:14] they must present us with [00:02:18] environmental and social impact studies and compliance with the specifications of the populations [00:02:21] and a permit and insurance. The issue of [00:02:25] Kimba's security was also raised in the debate. The deputy called [00:02:29] for awareness and the denunciation of bandits who [00:02:32] have fled the big cities to hide in this locality, the people of [00:02:36] Kimba must respect the law, Kimba is not outside the [00:02:39] republic, and so if in the republic a certain [00:02:43] number of measures have been taken, these measures are valid in Kimba, [00:02:46] so it was my duty [00:02:48] part of the city, opposite to attract their attention, you have to be very careful, congratulations to [00:02:52] the honorable, may God keep him [00:02:55] for the next term, it should be noted that to provide water to [00:02:59] the population. drilling is under construction in the four districts [00:03:03] of central Kimba, after this citizen meeting, the [00:03:06] activities suspended on the exploitation sites were [00:03:09] relaunched. We landed in Dirry [00:03:13] in the 9th arrondissement of Brazzaville, the fight against [00:03:17] insalubrity continues since her taking office. [00:03:21] the basin, sunrise is The mayor of this arrondissement [00:03:23] the help of has decided to make the sanitation operations organized every [00:03:26] first Saturday of the month in accordance with... [00:03:31] governmental report Killiane Baya. [00:03:34] In Jacques Opango, the challenges related to sanitation [00:03:38] remain visible. In this district of the 9th arrondissement of [00:03:41] Brazzaville, the state of certain spaces recalls the need [00:03:45] for regular maintenance of the living environment. A sector that should [00:03:49] soon receive a visit from the administrator mayor [00:03:54] disrupted, due to the Pierre Émé Carol Akonzo Ngato as part of [00:03:56] the continuation of sanitation operations. engaged in [00:04:00] the arrondissement facing these difficulties, local [00:04:03] officials are particularly well placed [00:04:06] to testify to the needs of the district, we are disturbed by [00:04:10] this pile of dirt that was caused by ourselves the population, knowing [00:04:14] full well that it will cause us diseases and everything, but everyone comes to dump dirt here, for us [00:04:18] it's a sigh of relief with the arrival of the new [00:04:21] mayor, she [00:04:23] the operation to make your thought before starting any other activity, she decided [00:04:26] to come and see the dirt because... [00:04:30] pointed, that goes straight to our hearts, this situation illustrates [00:04:33] the importance of regular action on the ground, [00:04:37] since her arrival at the head of the arrondissement, [00:04:39] the administrator mayor has extended the operations of the first [00:04:43] Saturday of the month with the objective of gradually [00:04:46] extending this dynamic to the different districts of [00:04:49] Jirie. We asked the neighborhood chiefs to give us [00:04:53] the cases of sanitation problems, so that goes to [00:04:56] erosion to areas where dirt is dumped. [00:05:12] After obtaining this purity, we started for example with the [00:05:16] Marseille Libalico schools and now we are tackling the problem of [00:05:19] pipelines and after that we will move on to [00:05:22] erosion. In Jacques au Pango, as in the other districts of Dirry, [00:05:26] the challenge is now to make sanitation a long-term [00:05:30] effort. By extending the operations of the first Saturday of [00:05:33] the month, the Administrator Mayor Pierre-Émé Carol [00:05:36] Akonzongo intends to maintain this dynamic [00:05:40] and gradually extend it to the entire arrondissement, an [00:05:44] objective whose scope will depend on the regularity [00:05:47] of interventions, but also on the involvement of the [00:05:51] populations in preserving their living environment. [00:05:54] And to finish, speaking of the [00:05:58] life and works of Mother Ange, whose real name is Angélique Miale [00:06:02] Bama, who passed away on Thursday, September 24 in Brazzaville at the age of [00:06:06] 96. Her journey and social life allowed a [00:06:09] bus stop to bear her name. This bus stop is located [00:06:13] in Moukondo in the 4th arrondissement. We will talk about it with Patience [00:06:16] Wadiapantou, [00:06:20] remember that she passed away on Thursday, September 24, 2026 at [00:06:26] wisdom and longevity, Mother Ange [00:06:29] was a Congolese pioneer who embarked on youth [00:06:33] entrepreneurship from a young age, her real name Angélique [00:06:36] Mialebama, Mother Ange in the 60s, years of [00:06:40] independence in black Africa, [00:06:42] took charge to stand out in the world of business and [00:06:46] affairs to emancipate herself in the informal sector by starting to [00:06:49] regularly frequent the city of Kinshasa in Democratic Congo as [00:06:53] a female trader in the fields of textiles and [00:06:56] cosmetic products, however [00:06:59] excellence, in this same bravery, Mother Ange [00:07:03] abandoned her commercial activities in Kinshasa to change [00:07:08] Africa where she was one of the first Congolese women who went in the [00:07:12] 70s to Lomé in Togo and Lagos in Nigeria to [00:07:15] engage this time in a high-end trade with a high dimension [00:07:21] the Congolese national economy. In [00:07:23] 1975, this businesswoman left Mungali to [00:07:27] settle permanently in Mukondo, Foueri street [00:07:30] number 42, went elsewhere to better reflect, a matter of evolving in another [00:07:34] field, which gave her the idea in 1976 to set up a [00:07:37] bar named Gandachere Ange to pay tribute [00:07:41] to her and immortalize her works, the neighborhood chiefs of Mukondo, the same year [00:07:45] had proceeded to the creation of this bus stop named [00:07:48] Mother Ange stop located between the Jacopango roundabout and the [00:07:52] Mokondo market on avenue des cités du 17 in the 4th arrondissement [00:07:56] Mungali in Brazzaville. The most popular bus stop in this [00:08:01] the Evangelical Church of Congo parish of Moukondo. Rarely [00:08:05] arrived in Mazala, they passed to the R1 and in any case [00:08:08] mom was dead, everyone thought and said that mom had been dead [00:08:11] for a very long time. and mom was still alive for us who are in Mongo [00:08:14] we also went from time to time to her house to [00:08:18] visit her but in any case we are very [00:08:21] sad, Angélique is gone, the stop will remain that day because [00:08:25] that stop is a reference truly, Angélique Miale [00:08:28] Ba, known as Mother Ange was born around 1930 in [00:08:32] Mbaka street in Potopoto in Brazzaville a year before [00:08:36] independence so in 1959 [00:08:38] Miss Angélique Mama was elected Miss Braza in [00:08:42] the same dance floor with the capital's orchestra [00:08:46] created in Brazzaville on the 15th of 1959 during [00:08:49] the festive events organized for the occasion in the 60s and [00:08:52] 70s, Mother Ange spent moments of digression with [00:08:56] President Youlou, Alphonse Massomba Deba and [00:09:00] Marien Ngouabi, Mother Ange, she [00:09:02] has been a trader since childhood, then she [00:09:05] had the idea in Lomé, the first women of Lomé, [00:09:09] she is among the first women of Lomé when she... the [00:09:12] bars, there was a power problem, she [00:09:15] negotiated, she was the very first person who managed to [00:09:19] connect electricity to her condo. In Africa, [00:09:22] dying at the age of 90 is a blessing from the [00:09:25] Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ divine mercy. The [00:09:29] welfare state no longer exists, young girls today could and should also [00:09:33] be interested in the informal sector to succeed by drawing inspiration from the model [00:09:37] of Mother Ange, because she was determined from a young age to [00:09:40] undertake in various sectors [00:09:42] of activity, this concludes [00:09:45] this news report, thank you for your [00:09:49] attention, I will see you tomorrow at the same time, have a good [00:09:52] program on the national channel, until then, [00:09:56] take care, goodbye. [00:10:12] The weather is brought to you by Bank of [00:10:15] Africa Congo Bank of Africa [00:10:19] the group the proximity of a [00:10:21] partner [00:10:24] ladies and gentlemen.

[00:14:06] bientôt, [00:14:11] The weather was brought to you by Bank of Africa [00:14:14] Congo Bank of Africa, the strength [00:14:18] of a group, the proximity of a partner, [00:14:22] you are an Ecobank Congo client already. is [00:14:25] here and yes, before to make your payment you had to go to a branch, [00:14:29] now with the new Ecobank distributors you save time [00:14:32] in 3 minutes you can make your [00:14:36] payment directly from our distributors 24/7 [00:14:39] even on weekends and holidays no slip to fill in plus it's [00:15:35] dear compatriots, the international community [00:15:39] celebrates this October 13, 2026, the international [00:15:42] day for disaster risk reduction. This [00:15:46] edition is placed under a theme that concerns us [00:15:49] all deeply, resilience [00:15:53] begins at home. By [00:15:56] the United Nations General Assembly, this day [00:15:59] constitutes a privileged moment of [00:16:02] collective mobilization, it calls on states, local [00:16:06] activities, [00:16:09] and every citizen to become [00:16:13] crucial importance of prevention, [00:16:17] preparedness, and proactive management of [00:16:21] risks in the face of environmental and climatic [00:16:24] crises. This year's theme is in line [00:16:28] with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction [00:16:31] 2015-2030, whose overall ambition remains the [00:16:35] substantial reduction. [00:16:37] of human, economic, [00:16:40] social, cultural, and environmental [00:16:44] losses. It also echoes the [00:16:47] Sustainable Development Goals, notably [00:16:50] SDG11 on the emergence of inclusive [00:16:53] cities and human settlements, [00:16:57] safe, resilient, and [00:17:00] sustainable. Resilience begins at [00:17:04] home, is a message of apparent simplicity, [00:17:08] but of immense strategic importance. The [00:17:11] family home constitutes, par excellence, the first [00:17:15] protective shield for our communities, it is in [00:17:19] the intimacy of our homes that the first [00:17:23] reflexes of vigilance, prevention, and safety measures [00:17:26] must be acquired and transmitted from the [00:17:30] youngest age. [00:17:32] every parent, every young person has [00:17:35] the power and the duty to become a key [00:17:39] actor in the security of their community by [00:17:42] adopting responsible behaviors, by knowing [00:17:46] the risks to which they are exposed and by [00:17:50] facing them, but resilience cannot be [00:17:54] reduced to individual behavior alone, [00:17:58] when dwellings are located in high-risk [00:18:01] areas built without respecting safety [00:18:04] standards or insufficiently [00:18:07] maintained with regard to the evolution of risks, they can [00:18:11] increase the vulnerability of [00:18:13] populations, the consequences are particularly [00:18:17] severe for women, [00:18:20] young people, the elderly, [00:18:23] people with disabilities and the [00:18:26] most modest households whose capacity to anticipate [00:18:30] risks, to protect themselves, to recover [00:18:33] after a disaster often remains limited. [00:18:38] Ladies and gentlemen, dear compatriots, our [00:18:41] country, like many nations, is facing risks whose [00:18:45] effects are now exacerbated by climate [00:18:48] change. In the Republic of Congo, this reality is [00:18:51] illustrated by data from our recent national [00:18:55] assessments, notably the climate landscape analysis for [00:18:59] children, carried out with UNICEF, more [00:19:02] than 525,000 of our fellow citizens have [00:19:06] been directly affected. The major floods of [00:19:09] 2023, 2024, which severely [00:19:12] affected several departments of the country, notably [00:19:16] Likuala, Cuvette, Kouilou and [00:19:19] Niari, as well as the riverside areas of the Congo or [00:19:22] Bangui. Nearly 44,000 students have [00:19:26] seen their schooling interrupted or severely [00:19:31] destruction or submersion of their [00:19:34] school establishments. 36% of our [00:19:38] population is exposed to increased food insecurity due to variations in [00:19:42] rainfall likely to lead to a [00:19:45] decrease in agricultural yields of 5 to [00:19:49] 15% by 2050. In [00:19:52] a country where nearly one in two inhabitants is under [00:19:56] 18, these recurrent climatic shocks, [00:19:59] whether floods, [00:20:01] ravine erosions [00:20:04] in Brazzaville and Point [00:20:07] Noire or landslides, severely test [00:20:11] the security of our homes and our socio-economic [00:20:15] infrastructures. To these phenomena is added the degradation of [00:20:19] ecosystems, notably mangroves and wetlands, [00:20:22] as well as certain human practices such as [00:20:26] uncontrolled urbanization, the occupation of areas exposed [00:20:29] to risk, the impermeabilization of [00:20:31] soils and deforestation, [00:20:34] however our ecosystems play an [00:20:38] essential role, the natural protection of our territory [00:20:41] against floods and coastal or [00:20:44] river erosion. Investing in prevention [00:20:48] today is therefore saving lives [00:20:51] tomorrow, preserving the achievements of [00:20:54] development and reducing the human, [00:20:57] economic and environmental costs of [00:21:00] disasters. Dear viewers, [00:21:04] under the very high impetus of His [00:21:07] Excellency Mr. Denis Sassou Nguesso, President of the [00:21:12] the Climate Commission of the Congo Basin, the government [00:21:15] continues to strengthen the national policy for disaster risk [00:21:19] reduction in coherence with the international [00:21:22] and regional commitments of our country. This ambition is [00:21:26] reflected notably by the elaboration and strengthening [00:21:29] of strategic instruments as well as by the development of [00:21:32] innovative mechanisms for information and communication [00:21:36] alerts, among which the national strategy [00:21:39] for disaster risk prevention and reduction [00:21:42] and its action plan completed since [00:21:46] 2026. [00:21:48] The radio television of the Congo, which [00:21:51] will be called upon to contribute to the dissemination of environmental [00:21:55] information, to the sensitization of [00:21:57] the population and to the prevention of disasters, the internet [00:22:02] Environment, Congo Basin and Sustainable Development [00:22:06] equipped with a system for reporting pollution and [00:22:10] natural disasters, and finally the nationally [00:22:14] determined contribution in its 3rd [00:22:17] version and national measures adapted to [00:22:21] climate change that contribute to strengthening the [00:22:24] resilience of our populations and our [00:22:26] territories, all these [00:22:29] initiatives reflect the government's commitment to make [00:22:33] prevention a national priority and [00:22:35] to integrate risk reduction into public [00:22:38] policies, economic, social, and [00:22:41] environmental development programs, as well as into actions [00:22:44] carried out at the scale of our 15 departments. The [00:22:48] realization of this ambition requires coordinated [00:22:52] and sustainable action around several [00:22:56] priorities that I will remind you of: the [00:22:59] strengthening of surveillance and early warning [00:23:03] systems to enable rapid [00:23:06] detection of threats, better protection of [00:23:09] populations, improved knowledge of risks and [00:23:13] their mapping to effectively guide [00:23:16] public decisions and investments, [00:23:20] and education for awareness and a [00:23:23] true culture of prevention to [00:23:26] strengthen the capacity to anticipate risks and [00:23:30] adopt appropriate behaviors, the strengthening of national [00:23:33] and local capacities for preparedness, [00:23:36] disaster response and recovery, the systematic [00:23:39] integration of risk reduction into land [00:23:43] use planning, urban planning, and [00:23:46] development policies. [00:23:50] local, the promotion of construction and housing adapted to [00:23:54] the risks to which our territories are exposed in [00:23:57] compliance with safety standards, as [00:24:00] well as the protection and restoration of [00:24:03] ecosystems that contribute to risk reduction and the [00:24:07] resilience of our communities. [00:24:11] The challenge is clear, to move [00:24:14] from an essentially reactive [00:24:17] logic to a more anticipatory [00:24:21] approach. preventive and [00:24:25] resilient, this presupposes [00:24:28] the mobilization of all stakeholders concerned, [00:24:31] public authorities, local communities, technical [00:24:35] and financial partners, private sector, [00:24:38] civil society and population [00:24:42] in order to sustainably reduce vulnerabilities [00:24:44] and preserve human [00:24:47] lives and property and to... consolidate the foundations [00:24:51] of sustainable and resilient [00:24:54] development in the Republic of Congo. Dear [00:24:57] compatriots, resilience effectively [00:25:00] begins at home. In periods of [00:25:03] heavy rain or flooding, each [00:25:06] household must be able to adopt the right reflexes, follow the instructions [00:25:09] of the competent authorities and warning [00:25:12] messages, secure electrical installations [00:25:15] and gas bottles, when [00:25:19] they threaten. [00:25:21] and essential goods and imperatively [00:25:24] avoid crossing flooded areas on foot [00:25:28] or by vehicle. particular attention must [00:25:31] be paid to children, the [00:25:35] elderly, pregnant women and people living with a [00:25:38] disability. Ladies and gentlemen, dear [00:25:41] compatriots, the International Day for Disaster [00:25:45] Risk Reduction should not be a simple [00:25:49] slogan. a simple day of [00:25:51] commemoration, it must be a moment of awareness, [00:25:55] mobilization and commitment. [00:25:57] We must now incorporate prevention [00:26:00] into our. decisions, our [00:26:04] behaviors and our development policies, [00:26:08] I repeat, we must now incorporate prevention [00:26:11] into our decisions, our [00:26:15] behaviors and our development policies. [00:26:18] We must [00:26:20] rather than reaction, [00:26:23] prevention [00:26:26] urgency and collective and shared [00:26:29] responsibility [00:26:32] indifference, on this day, I pay [00:26:36] tribute to all actors who work daily [00:26:40] in prevention and disaster management, civil protection [00:26:43] services, territorial communities, [00:26:46] civil society organizations, technical [00:26:49] and financial partners, researchers [00:26:52] and teachers [00:26:54] and citizens, for its part and [00:26:58] under the very high impetus of his [00:27:01] Excellency. [00:27:06] President of the Congo Basin Climate [00:27:08] Commission, the government under [00:27:11] the coordination of the government, Prime Minister Anatol [00:27:15] Koli Macosso reaffirms its [00:27:17] determination to continue efforts to [00:27:21] strengthen the resilience of our country, protect [00:27:25] populations, preserve our environment and [00:27:28] sustainably consolidate the achievements of our [00:27:31] development. Resilience begins at home, [00:27:34] but it is built [00:27:37] together, long live the International Day for [00:27:40] Disaster Risk Reduction, [00:27:42] long live the green, sustainable [00:27:46] and responsible Congo, thank you.
