[00:00:07] populations with a view to have and in the current context, the issuance of securities
[00:00:10] remains an effective solution, but overexposure to this
[00:00:13] instrument with multiple drawbacks
[00:00:16] must be avoided.
[00:00:24] twenty minutes, the President of This is the new version of the free Angola school complex, built
[00:00:27] remembrance is also a testimony to on the ashes. of the former establishment
[00:00:31] of the same name, the building which majestically stands in the heart of
[00:00:34] the first district of Brazzaville Makelekele was
[00:00:37] inaugurated on Friday, October 9, 2026, by the President of
[00:00:41] the Republic, Denis Asso Ngesso. Shortly before this
[00:00:45] After the welcome speech by the Minister for highlight of the symbolic ribbon cutting marking the official commissioning
[00:00:47] of this jewel. Three speeches were delivered to
[00:00:51] inform the public about the interest and scope of the event. Happy
[00:00:54] to host this school complex in its Basukisa
[00:00:57] station, administrator mayor of... in a passionate
[00:01:01] bit of history, revealed that this school infrastructure was
[00:01:05] erected on a memorial and mythical site. This site was the control
[00:01:08] tower of the old Brazzaville airport.
[00:01:13] welcome to the head of The buildings that housed it were built between 1930 and
[00:01:15] 1932. Along the way, the
[00:01:19] fronts: the liberation of merger of meteorological services and civil aviation had
[00:01:23] led to the creation of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC),
[00:01:27] whose headquarters was
[00:01:30] in the buildings currently housing the central police
[00:01:33] station of Dudu. This same site was
[00:01:38] welcomed the excellent also the base of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) in
[00:01:42] 1965. A part of this site was
[00:01:46] to commune with the head of occupied by elements of the civil defense under the name of
[00:01:49] Camp Metéo. The construction of the free Angola school
[00:01:53] complex launched by the National Petroleum Company of Congo (SNPC) as part of its
[00:01:56] social responsibility. Through this
[00:01:59] work, the SNPC has indicated its general
[00:02:02] director continues its support for public
[00:02:05] policies with a high social impact, with a capacity
[00:02:08] of 10,000 students, the free Angola
[00:02:12] school complex, endowed with several components, is part of this
[00:02:15] approach. These educational jewels, these four
[00:02:19] hectares of hope at heart,
[00:02:23] is the capacity to accommodate 1000
[00:02:26] students, 10,000 stories that
[00:02:29] will be written here with dignity, mission, and
[00:02:32] excellence,
[00:02:35] a preschool, a primary school, a
[00:02:38] college, a high school, a whole
[00:02:41] school trajectory united in one and the same
[00:02:44] place,
[00:02:46] revival of the large gas projects of 100 classrooms, a scientific
[00:02:49] laboratory,
[00:02:52] for teachers, three administrative buildings,
[00:02:55] five water towers and a complete sports area that can
[00:03:00] become young again. That we are accommodate football, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, judo,
[00:03:04] without forgetting a police
[00:03:07] station to ensure the safety of students and staff. Such
[00:03:11] an achievement would not be possible without peace, added Mexan
[00:03:14] Ominga. Although obvious, it deserves to be maintained
[00:03:17] and consolidated to facilitate national edification, he
[00:03:21] urged.
[00:03:24] The free Angola school complex is now positioned as a pole
[00:03:27] of pedagogical excellence in the wake of infrastructure of its kind
[00:03:31] previously built, congratulated
[00:03:33] the prospect of the the Minister of Preschool, Primary, Secondary Education and
[00:03:37] Literacy. Valuing the school as
[00:03:40] an institution, Jean-Luc Moutou considers these efforts to improve the
[00:03:43] learning conditions of students as a strong message
[00:03:46] of hope. The free Angola school complex, which
[00:03:50] must continue to build destinies, according to him, reinforces
[00:03:53] public authorities in their vision of always making education
[00:03:58] From the airport, the Mozambican the first strategic wealth of Congo. Hence this desire to
[00:04:02] Affairs, Francophonie, and Congolese Abroad, remove some obstacles, this local school complex, Angola Libre,
[00:04:04] represents a major asset for the benefit of the
[00:04:08] populations of the localities of Kinsundi,
[00:04:10] Ganguoni, Château d'Eau and the surrounding areas in that it
[00:04:14] allows our children to no longer travel long
[00:04:18] distances with all the induced hassle that
[00:04:21] this entails for them. From now on,
[00:04:25] proximity regains all its rights. It
[00:04:29] allows
[00:04:31] Africa, particularly the to alleviate the burden on the two public high schools of
[00:04:34] Mukuzingwaka and Savorgnan de Brazza, which with difficulty accommodate
[00:04:37] all the increasingly numerous children in this district.
[00:04:40] Today, with the inauguration of
[00:04:43] this high school, the aim will be to bring the school closer to
[00:04:47] the home of each learner, to significantly
[00:04:50] reduce the bloated numbers that sometimes hindered
[00:04:53] better learning in this high school and to create a
[00:04:57] safe environment for all our children to
[00:05:00] flourish fully. In addition to the speeches, the inauguration
[00:05:03] ceremony of the free Angola school complex was
[00:05:07] also marked by the ritual of consecration of the premises by the holders of
[00:05:10] traditional power.
[00:05:18] After the head of state proceeded to plant a tree within
[00:05:21] the establishment, a testament to his visit,
[00:05:25] a reaffirmation of his commitment to afforestation and
[00:05:28] reforestation. Last but not least, the guided tour of the
[00:05:32] free Angola school complex, for more than
[00:05:37] the Republic appreciated the quality of the work through its different
[00:05:41] components, the classrooms, the sports areas and the
[00:05:44] teachers' accommodations. From this guided tour, Denis Sasungeso left
[00:05:47] proud to have once again offered the republic
[00:05:51] a gift and a perspective.
[00:05:54] perspective.
[00:05:58] The first district Makele-Kelat, known for its
[00:06:01] legendary hospitality, displayed on Friday, October 9,
[00:06:04] 2026, banners praising the merits of the government's
[00:06:08] project, accelerating the progress and displaying in fervor
[00:06:13] the event, loyalty and support for the President of the
[00:06:16] Republic, Denis Satongeso, for his
[00:06:19] grandiose works. He therefore prepared to
[00:06:23] give an unprecedented state, a day
[00:06:27] awaited with impatience by the populations who wanted,
[00:06:31] through this popular mobilization, to show their
[00:06:33] adherence to the efforts to modernize the country in
[00:06:36] general and Makelelé in
[00:06:38] particular. They came to express and witness
[00:06:42] their pride and joy to Denis Sasungesso the
[00:06:46] construction of this ultra-modern school complex.
[00:06:48] As a result, the President of the Republic
[00:06:52] in an open-top car was carried in triumph by the
[00:06:55] Brazzavillians eager
[00:06:59] state. On this occasion, despite the rain,
[00:07:02] he covered the distance separating the free Angola
[00:07:06] school complex from the roundabout of the French Institute of Congo, lined on both
[00:07:10] sides by a euphoric crowd.
[00:07:16] The populations are witnesses to the fervor that
[00:07:19] drives them. I see that the President of the Republic
[00:07:23] is taking an act of historical significance. We don't see anywhere
[00:07:25] else that a head of state can take a strong initiative to
[00:07:29] transform schools, because without them our children
[00:07:33] will be nothing. We must support the head of state
[00:07:36] for his idea and we must send children to school.
[00:07:40] In any case, all children to school, I can say for
[00:07:43] parents and children, I really appreciated it, it became
[00:07:46] beautiful, I want to advise them not to
[00:07:49] spoil the environment, to keep it
[00:07:52] clean,
[00:07:54] not to come and enroll students here because it was dirty, the toilets
[00:07:58] were today,
[00:08:02] we accept the initiative,
[00:08:05] President of the Republic, we are very happy to see this
[00:08:09] school
[00:08:13] moving forward, as he himself said, together let's move forward,
[00:08:16] huh?
[00:08:24] The President of the Republic of Mozambique, Daniel Chapo,
[00:08:28] began this October 10, 2026, a 48-hour
[00:08:31] official visit to the Republic of Congo.
[00:08:34] Welcomed upon his arrival by his Congolese counterpart,
[00:08:37] Denis Sasungeso, Daniel Chapo, accompanied by the
[00:08:41] First Lady, Guetta. Seleman Chapo comes to consolidate
[00:08:44] the historic diplomatic axis between Maputo and
[00:08:48] Brazzaville. In Mayamaya, the host of Denis
[00:08:51] Sasungeso is received with honor, punctuated by
[00:08:54] the playing of national anthems, followed by military honors.
[00:09:25] This trip by the Mozambican president to Brazzaville marks a
[00:09:29] turning point to revitalize relations between the two countries.
[00:09:33] The historical alliance between Brazzaville and Maputo
[00:09:36] is based on solid ties. Congo actively
[00:09:39] supported liberation movements in southern
[00:09:44] FRELIMO, under the direction of historical figures like Marien
[00:09:48] Ngouabi, whose memory remains honored in Mozambique,
[00:09:51] and Samora Moises Machel. The friendship between
[00:09:55] Presidents Denis Sasungeso and Daniel Chapo will be further
[00:09:58] consolidated during the exchanges that the two heads of state will have at
[00:10:02] the People's Palace to transform this political fraternity into
[00:10:06] a lever for growth and mutual economic
[00:10:08] independence. In Brazzaville, President Daniel Chapo's agenda
[00:10:12] will focus on economic exchanges. After Brazzaville,
[00:10:16] the Mozambican head of state will go to Pointe Noire to identify new
[00:10:20] corridors, stimulate public-private partnerships, and intensify
[00:10:24] bilateral
[00:10:27] energy, culture, and social development. The
[00:10:31] last visit of President Denis Sasungeso to Maputo
[00:10:35] dates back to September
[00:10:36] 2011.
[00:10:39] Before meeting with President Denis Sasungesso, Mozambican head of
[00:10:43] state Daniel Chapo visited the Marien Ngouabi mausoleum
[00:10:47] where he laid a wreath of flowers. This moment of
[00:10:52] the friendship between the Congolese Party of Labor and the Front for the
[00:10:56] Liberation of Mozambique, a deep alliance forged
[00:11:00] in the wake of decolonization and the African revolutionary
[00:11:03] struggles embodied in Congo by Marien Ngouabi
[00:11:06] and in Mozambique by Samora Moises Machel.
[00:11:20] PCT and Frelimo shared the same ideological
[00:11:23] orientation. Progressive Africa, it is important
[00:11:27] to remember that under the impetus of President Marien Ngouabi, Congo
[00:11:31] became an essential diplomatic, financial, and
[00:11:34] logistical rear base for the liberation movements in southern
[00:11:38] Africa, including Frelimo. The two parties fought
[00:11:42] together on two main
[00:11:44] southern Africa from colonial and segregationist regimes
[00:11:47] and the independence of Portuguese
[00:11:50] colonies, Angola with MPLA and
[00:11:54] Mozambique with Frelimo. At the end of the Cold War and the fall
[00:11:58] of the Soviet bloc, the PCT and Frelimo underwent an almost
[00:12:01] identical doctrinal evolution. The friendship did not
[00:12:05] stop at the end of the armed struggle. This solid
[00:12:08] political alliance also serves as the foundation for
[00:12:11] warming bilateral relations between Congo and
[00:12:15] Mozambique.
[00:12:18] At the People's Palace, Denis Sungeso meets Daniel
[00:12:22] Chapo two years after their meeting in Oyo in the basin
[00:12:25] north of Congo, while the current Mozambican president was
[00:12:29] preparing to run for the supreme magistracy in his country.
[00:12:32] As General Secretary of Frelimo, the Liberation Front of
[00:12:36] Mozambique, Daniel Francisco Chapo worked to
[00:12:39] strengthen the historic ties that exist between his country and the city of
[00:12:43] Congo. This Wednesday, October 6, 2026, the
[00:12:47] President of the Republic, Denis Sasungesso, therefore receives a distinguished
[00:12:50] guest, a counterpart, for high-level exchanges that
[00:12:54] illustrate the constant nature of bilateral relations between the two
[00:12:57] countries, relations marked by mutual support, similar to
[00:13:01] that which Congo provided to Mozambique in its struggle for
[00:13:04] independence in 1975.
[00:13:07] Elected president in October 2024, and in January
[00:13:10] 2025, Daniel Francisco Chapo thus continues
[00:13:14] this dynamic of consolidating relations of friendship,
[00:13:17] solidarity, and cooperation between his country and Congo, around
[00:13:21] issues of common interest, a stance that matches that of
[00:13:25] Denis Aso, whose vision focused on peace and the integral
[00:13:28] development of Africa remains relevant. The aim is to
[00:13:32] maintain excellent relations between Congo and
[00:13:35] Mozambique through the implementation of sectoral agreements
[00:13:39] that underpin these relations, an example being the first grand
[00:13:42] cooperation commission which is being held in Brazzaville while the
[00:13:46] Mozambican President Daniel Francisco Chapo is visiting Congolese
[00:13:49] soil. A 48-hour stay that will take him this
[00:13:52] Wednesday to Pointe Noire, the economic capital of Congo where he will
[00:13:56] visit some energy and port
[00:14:00] infrastructures. Arrived this Wednesday morning in
[00:14:04] Pointe Noire for a few hours of his official
[00:14:07] visit to the Republic of Congo, the President of
[00:14:10] Mozambique, Daniel Francisco Chapo, was
[00:14:14] welcomed by the prefect of the department, Pierre Sebert
[00:14:17] Iboko Aunanga, and other local authorities.
[00:14:23] head of state was sent
[00:14:25] by helicopter to discover the national
[00:14:28] energy production units, particularly the
[00:14:31] Litendili gas plant and the
[00:14:34] Congo Electric power plant located in
[00:14:37] Cortematève in the 6th arrondissement of Ngoyo in
[00:14:41] Pointe Noire. The first stage of this visit took
[00:14:44] him to the gas plant, where he was received
[00:14:48] by the managers and agents of the Ethique Congo company.
[00:14:52] On this site, President Daniel Francisco
[00:14:55] Chapo, accompanied by the Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs,
[00:14:59] Jean-Claude Gakosso, learned about the gas
[00:15:02] treatment process for energy production. Continuing
[00:15:06] his tour, the Mozambican head of state visited the
[00:15:10] Congo Electric power plant, the result of a public-private
[00:15:13] partnership between the Congolese state and the
[00:15:16] Eni company. He was given a real
[00:15:20] immersion into the heart of an infrastructure that stands
[00:15:23] as a pillar of the country's energy
[00:15:26] future. The second stage of this guided
[00:15:30] tour, punctuated by explanations on the
[00:15:33] facilities and equipment of the CSE, allowed him
[00:15:36] to have a precise understanding of the operation of this plant
[00:15:40] which supplies 70% of the national electricity
[00:15:43] supply. Commissioned in 2010, the Congo Electric
[00:15:47] power plant has an installed capacity of
[00:15:51] 484 megawatts generated by three
[00:15:54] turbines operating in an open cycle. It
[00:15:57] constitutes the main source of energy and an
[00:16:01] essential link in the energy boulevard advocated by President
[00:16:04] Denis Sasungesu, noting that a gift was given
[00:16:08] to President Daniel Francisco Chapo at the end of this
[00:16:11] visit, which paves the way for strengthening economic
[00:16:15] exchanges between Congo and Mozambique.
[00:16:17] Mozambique.
[00:16:22] the Promotion of the Private Sector, Michel Ndombo, the
[00:16:26] President of Unicongo, Dieudonné Dinga Mukala, briefly
[00:16:29] presented the main outlines of the Congolese industrial fabric and
[00:16:33] the expectations of the private sector vis-à-vis Mozambique,
[00:16:37] notably, highlighting a private sector present in several
[00:16:40] areas: industry, extractive activities, agro
[00:16:43] industry, transport, logistics and services, with
[00:16:47] a major challenge to strengthen local transformation and
[00:16:50] increase the added value produced in Congo in terms of
[00:16:54] training and transfer of time, Unicongo proposes
[00:16:57] to launch exchange programs for engineers,
[00:17:01] technicians and young apprentices between training
[00:17:04] centers in Pointe Noire and Mozambique. To
[00:17:08] concretize these ambitions, a business
[00:17:10] mission of Congolese companies to Mozambique, or vice versa,
[00:17:14] will allow identifying bankable projects, removing regulatory
[00:17:17] barriers and facilitating cross-
[00:17:20] investments. Your Excellency, Mr.
[00:17:24] President, your visit to Pointe Noire
[00:17:27] breathes new impetus into South-South
[00:17:31] cooperation within our continent. It
[00:17:34] proves that African companies have the capacity,
[00:17:38] know-how, and will to
[00:17:41] invest in each other to build
[00:17:45] the industrial Africa of tomorrow. In the context of relations with
[00:17:48] Mozambique, Dieudonné Ndinga Mokala called for prioritizing a concrete
[00:17:52] economy based on investments, commercial
[00:17:55] exchanges, industrial partnerships, and the transfer of
[00:17:59] skills and technologies. Speaking
[00:18:02] for the Mozambican President Daniel Chapo, he defended
[00:18:06] a new vision for his country: no longer limited to the exploitation
[00:18:10] of natural resources, but to make it a real engine
[00:18:13] of industrialization and development of all national
[00:18:16] entrepreneurship. According to Daniel Chapo, this
[00:18:20] vision is based notably on the
[00:18:24] the Rovuma basin and the development of
[00:18:27] natural gas. For the Congolese private sector, he said,
[00:18:31] this orientation opens up prospects for direct
[00:18:34] cooperation with Mozambican companies.
[00:18:39] to grow the private sector, that's why we arrived in Pointe Noire
[00:18:42] today with a very clear objective: to know,
[00:18:46] to learn, and to create partnerships with you among
[00:18:49] ourselves. After the interventions of the private sector representatives,
[00:18:53] it was time for exchanges with President Daniel,
[00:18:56] a sequence dedicated to direct
[00:18:59] dialogue during which the various actors were able to
[00:19:02] express their concerns, formulate their
[00:19:06] expectations, and share their proposals. Immediately after,
[00:19:09] the Mozambican president visited the autonomous port of Pointe Noire and
[00:19:13] signed the guestbook, a way for Daniel Chapo
[00:19:17] to immortalize his visit to the port of Pointe Noire. It was at
[00:19:21] 5 p.m. that the Mozambican head of state left the economic
[00:19:24] capital to reach Brazzaville.
[00:19:26] Brasaville.
[00:19:29] In total, a dozen legal instruments were initialed on Wednesday, October
[00:19:32] 7, at the People's Palace, primarily by Constance Serge
[00:19:36] Na, Congolese Minister of Foreign
[00:19:39] Sasun Ngesso, Minister of International Cooperation
[00:19:43] and Public-Private Partnership on the Congolese side, and Manuela de
[00:19:46] Santos Lucas, Minister of
[00:19:50] Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Republic of Mozambique. These are
[00:19:54] agreements covering various fields, notably the general cooperation
[00:19:57] agreement, the agreement relating to regular political consultations,
[00:20:01] the agreement on visa exemption for diplomatic and service
[00:20:05] passports, the memorandum of understanding in the maritime domain, the cooperation
[00:20:09] agreement relating to higher education, the cooperation
[00:20:12] agreement in the field of forest resource protection, as well as
[00:20:16] the agreement relating to hydrocarbons. These
[00:20:19] multiple agreements, which are an important lever in strengthening the relations
[00:20:22] of friendship and fraternity that exist between the two countries,
[00:20:26] result from the intense work carried out by the parties during the
[00:20:30] work of the first session of the grand joint commission of cooperation between the Republic of
[00:20:33] Congo and the Republic of Mozambique. They further
[00:20:37] strengthen the legal framework of this cooperation, thus marking
[00:20:40] a decisive stage in bilateral relations that had remained
[00:20:43] stagnant for 33 years, a stagnation that the two
[00:20:47] heads of state have repeatedly deplored and have decided to
[00:20:50] implement the signed agreements to achieve the
[00:20:53] expected benefits for their respective
[00:20:57] improving their daily lives. For Denis
[00:20:59] Sasou, a step forward has been taken and these
[00:21:02] legal instruments must not remain a dead letter. Today
[00:21:06] with the visit of the president and the
[00:21:10] signing of about ten cooperation
[00:21:13] agreements, we have taken another
[00:21:16] step forward, as the president said.
[00:21:50] Congolese counterpart, a joint communiqué was released, a communiqué
[00:21:54] in which President Danielo praised the multifaceted
[00:21:57] support provided by the Republic of Congo since the time of the national
[00:22:00] liberation struggle of the Republic of Mozambique. At the same time,
[00:22:04] Mozambique praised the personal commitment and constant efforts of President
[00:22:07] Denis Sasungeso in the search for lasting solutions to crises
[00:22:11] on the continent, particularly his role as
[00:22:14] chairman of the African Union's High-Level Committee on Libya. The
[00:22:18] two heads of state conducted
[00:22:20] a broad exchange of views on bilateral, regional,
[00:22:24] and international issues. They
[00:22:28] historical relations of friendship and fraternity existing
