[00:04:48] As there was nothing else on the agenda, the President of the
[00:04:52] Republic closed the
[00:04:54] prevention and meeting, raising the session. Started at 10 a.m., the
[00:04:58] Council of Ministers meeting ended at 2:15
[00:05:02] p.m.

[00:06:54] You are on Telekongo. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this
[00:06:58] 11 p.m. news edition. I am pleased to present it to you, and together
[00:07:01] we share the news. In the summary,
[00:07:05] Congolese diplomacy strengthens its ties with its African
[00:07:09] partners. That's the main headline. Now, this
[00:07:12] news begins with a dark page. It was
[00:07:16] this Monday, October 12, 2026, in the morning,
[00:07:19] that Patriarch Jean-Baptiste Yannittiyo,
[00:07:23] former president of the council of dignitaries of Bowali,
[00:07:28] court and president of the traditional court
[00:07:31] of Monvou, who passed away on September 26, was buried.
[00:07:35] His funeral took
[00:07:38] place in the presence of Prime Minister Anatole Kolini Makoso,
[00:07:42] as well as numerous administrative and political
[00:07:45] authorities and several executives from the departments
[00:07:49] of Pointe-Noire and Kouilou.
[00:07:52] From Duclair Dungier,
[00:07:55] follow this.
[00:07:58] In the Kingdom of Luango, some men are more than history, they are its
[00:08:02] guardians. Bowali, historical heart and capital of the
[00:08:05] kingdom, its dignitaries watch over traditions, rituals, and the transmission
[00:08:09] of ancestral power. It is among them that Patriarch
[00:08:13] Jean-Baptiste Yoani Tati Yoyo, who passed away on September
[00:08:16] 26, was chosen. Custodians
[00:08:19] of a secular heritage, the dignitaries of Bowali play an essential role in the
[00:08:23] designation of the sovereign, chosen from among the two royal clans
[00:08:26] of Qatar. They also contribute to the preservation of peace
[00:08:30] and social cohesion. It was to one of these
[00:08:33] guardians of tradition that the Prime Minister, Head of Government
[00:08:36] Anatole Coliné Makoso came to pay tribute. Present at the
[00:08:40] last wake alongside the 2nd Vice-President of the National Assembly
[00:08:44] and several authorities from Pointe-Noire and
[00:08:47] Kouilou, accompanied by his wife, the Prime Minister renewed his
[00:08:50] presence on Monday, October 12, the day of the funeral, by laying
[00:08:54] a wreath of flowers. Born on June 24,
[00:08:57] 1942, in Tisanga in the current district of Inda, Jean-Baptiste
[00:09:01] Yoani Tati Yoyo was an accountant by training. After
[00:09:05] a career at the Central Bank, at BNTC, then at the former
[00:09:08] SNE where he completed his professional career as chief accountant
[00:09:12] in 1998, he also put his experience
[00:09:15] at the service of the High Court and the Court of Appeal of Pointe-Noire.
[00:09:19] But beyond his professional career, it is above all the man
[00:09:23] of conciliatory and wise dialogue that those who knew him remember.
[00:09:27] Jean-Baptiste Johannes Tatijoyo thus leaves
[00:09:30] us the image of a man of multiple
[00:09:34] dimensions, a rigorous man,
[00:09:38] the state, a neighborhood chief, a dignitary,
[00:09:43] a sage, a mediator, a man of peace,
[00:09:46] a father and head of a family, deeply
[00:09:49] attached to his own. For Alexis Cayabalo, dignitary of
[00:09:53] Bowali, in charge of tradition, the passing of the patriarch leaves a huge
[00:09:56] void, but his legacy remains, a great dignitary
[00:10:00] of the kingdom of Longango, whose eyes and
[00:10:03] customs he mastered. He remained for a long time at the head of the council
[00:10:07] of dignitaries of Bowali,
[00:10:11] and consecrated His Majesty.
[00:10:19] He is also a wise member of the republic.
[00:10:22] His rigor, his courage, his frankness
[00:10:26] were the striking features of his being
[00:10:30] and his actions, at the risk of
[00:10:33] appearing to be a stumbling block for
[00:10:36] some. Then came the time for the last journey, to the
[00:10:40] rhythm of the rites and traditions of the Vili people. The patriarch's
[00:10:43] remains are taken to the family cemetery of Diosso. Prime Minister
[00:10:47] Anatole Coliné Makoso accompanies him to his final resting place. A chapter
[00:10:51] closes for the family and for the kingdom of Luango, but in the memory of...
[00:11:16] The head of the Congolese government was not indifferent to the
[00:11:20] passing of Patriarch Jean-Baptiste
[00:11:24] Johannis Tati Yoyo, and the Prime Minister
[00:11:27] paid tribute to the memory of the
[00:11:30] deceased, who was a great man of
[00:11:33] traditions whose immense qualities and ancestral
[00:11:37] commitment deeply marked the Kingdom of
[00:11:41] Luango, once again finding
[00:11:43] Duclair. It's a big
[00:11:46] tree falling in the Mayombe forest and in
[00:11:50] the ecosystem of Kouilou and the city of Pointe-Noire. It's a big
[00:11:53] baobab, and with what it represents as a symbol,
[00:11:57] a baobab, a framework for reconciliation,
[00:12:00] unity, fraternity, solidarity,
[00:12:03] gathering, because around the old Oyo, it brought
[00:12:06] together many people, many communities, many
[00:12:10] families who came to consult him precisely, to try to
[00:12:13] settle disputes that arose in our families. Don't forget that he was
[00:12:17] a traditional judge, and his priesthood was that of reconciliation,
[00:12:21] dialogue between families,
[00:12:24] unity, concord, trying to patch things up
[00:12:27] when the family was fragmented. And that
[00:12:31] is also what he exercised at the local
[00:12:34] level. Whenever the community faced
[00:12:38] difficulties, it was around him that consensus was sought.
[00:12:41] consensus.
[00:12:45] Let's continue this news in a completely
[00:12:48] different register,
[00:12:52] or in a completely different court, I should say, where the Minister of
[00:12:56] Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Congo,
[00:12:59] Constance Serge Munda, with his Senegalese and Tunisian counterparts,
[00:13:03] focused on the consolidation of bilateral relations, the revitalization
[00:13:06] of cooperation, and the prospects of
[00:13:10] South-South partnership, and this precisely with the aim
[00:13:13] of strengthening its diplomatic ties with its African
[00:13:17] partners. A report by
[00:13:20] Parold Agnolo.
[00:13:23] The Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Constance Serge
[00:13:26] Bunda, exchanged with his Senegalese counterpart, Check
[00:13:30] Niong, on the occasion of their first meeting.
[00:13:33] The exchanges highlighted the depth of the ties between
[00:13:37] Brazzaville and Dakar, with the desire to revitalize their
[00:13:40] relationship through joint commissions, in line
[00:13:44] with the excellent relations between Presidents Denis
[00:13:47] Sassou Nguesso and Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The next
[00:13:51] Francophonie summit in Cambodia and the stakes of
[00:13:54] the African continental shelf were also discussed.
[00:13:58] Before setting foot in Libya and continuing his diplomatic
[00:14:01] journey, the Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs,
[00:14:04] Constance Serge Bunda, during a transit in Tunis,
[00:14:07] exchanged with the Tunisian Secretary of State for Foreign
[00:14:11] Affairs, an opportunity to reaffirm the historical
[00:14:14] friendship, notably illustrated by Tunisia's support for the
[00:14:18] Congo's accession to the United Nations in
[00:14:21] 1960. The relationship between the two countries
[00:14:25] is constant. Two meetings that reflect Congo's ambition
[00:14:29] to consolidate its African partnerships and promote
[00:14:32] a diplomacy of mutually beneficial dialogue.
[00:14:36] Let's continue this news.
[00:14:38] It was on the morning of October 12,
[00:14:42] 2026, that the Embassy of the People's Republic of China
[00:14:45] and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Humanitarian Action
[00:14:48] proceeded to sign a
[00:14:52] memorandum of understanding, accompanied by a humanitarian
[00:14:55] grant, in response to the consequences of the floods that
[00:14:59] hit Brazzaville on June 14,
[00:15:02] 2024.
[00:15:07] Larson Mabona and Espagnol
[00:15:10] Motondo. This memorandum of understanding marks a
[00:15:13] crucial step for Congo. It is a commitment from the Chinese
[00:15:16] government to support the Congolese government in taking care of the victims
[00:15:20] of the June 14, 2024, floods, in response to the
[00:15:23] appeal launched by Congo and carried out on the Congolese
[00:15:27] side by the Secretary General of Foreign Affairs and on the Chinese side by
[00:15:30] the Chinese Ambassador to Congo, Ann King, in the presence of the Minister
[00:15:34] of Social and Unitary Affairs, Marie France.
[00:15:37] Congo, this donation of 2 million dollars, or more than 1 billion
[00:15:41] 170 million CFA francs, supports the Ministry of Social
[00:15:44] Affairs and Humanitarian Action in taking care of vulnerable
[00:15:47] people. The government launched an appeal
[00:15:51] for solidarity
[00:15:55] at international and national levels, and China,
[00:15:58] sensitive to this appeal,
[00:16:01] granted financial
[00:16:04] assistance of 2,000
[00:16:07] US dollars for the affected
[00:16:10] populations and also to support
[00:16:14] the reconstruction efforts of the Congolese authorities.
[00:16:18] Ann King, Chinese Ambassador to Congo, explains the reasons for this humanitarian
[00:16:21] assistance, which coincides with the International Day for Disaster Risk
[00:16:25] Reduction celebrated on October 13 each year. She also mentions the
[00:16:29] prospects for cooperation with the
[00:16:32] Humanitarian Action. There are several reasons for China's humanitarian
[00:16:36] aid to Congo. Firstly, tomorrow,
[00:16:39] October 13, will be the 37th International
[00:16:43] Day for Disaster Risk Reduction of the United Nations.
[00:16:46] Faced with natural disasters, all humanity must unite and
[00:16:49] act together. Secondly, this year marks the
[00:16:52] 5th anniversary of
[00:16:55] Initiative put forward by President Xi Jinping. Development is an
[00:16:59] eternal theme for humanity, which plays an essential
[00:17:02] role in the happiness of peoples. This
[00:17:05] assistance from the Chinese government
[00:17:08] is part of the continuity of Sino-Congolese cooperation
[00:17:12] marked by several actions of solidarity and support for
[00:17:15] the benefit of Congo. Through this new gesture, the People's
[00:17:19] Republic of China reaffirms its commitment to the Congolese
[00:17:22] people, especially in difficult times. Beyond the response to
[00:17:25] humanitarian emergencies, this partnership reflects the will of the
[00:17:29] two countries, who share the common destiny of Focac, to strengthen
[00:17:32] their ties of friendship and cooperation, with the common
[00:17:36] ambition to improve the living conditions of populations, to
[00:17:39] support the efforts of the Congolese government in favor of the most
[00:17:43] vulnerable. Let's change chapters and this time talk
[00:17:46] about the security aspect. Concluding
[00:17:49] his contact and assessment tour in the gendarmerie
[00:17:53] regions of the southern part of the country, specifically
[00:17:57] in the Kouilou and Pointe-Noire departments, the commander of the
[00:18:01] national gendarmerie, Brigadier General
[00:18:04] Jildas Olangé, called on the gendarmes to be disciplined,
[00:18:08] to respect ethics, loyalty to the institutions of the
[00:18:11] republic. Details in this report by Hulrich
[00:18:15] Mabica. It was with a guard of honor
[00:18:19] set up by the commander of Military Defense Zone N°1
[00:18:23] that Brigadier General Jedas Olangue was
[00:18:26] received at the Mango
[00:18:30] of the Kouilou gendarmerie region, the General
[00:18:32] met with the gendarmes and
[00:18:36] visited all the structures to assess the situation
[00:18:39] in the Pointe-Noire gendarmerie region. It was in
[00:18:42] Chamandasi that the commander of the national gendarmerie
[00:18:46] first set foot in this district,
[00:18:48] which shares a border with the Cabinda enclave.
[00:18:52] The commander of the national gendarmerie met
[00:18:56] with the sub-prefect in Pointe-Noire and in Kouilou.
[00:18:59] The security situation is generally calm. The highlight
[00:19:02] of this marathon-like visit was
[00:19:06] his visit to the Mobile Gendarmerie Training
[00:19:10] and Coaching Center in Fouta village. Around the focus
[00:19:13] of this center, which has already trained two batches, General
[00:19:16] Olangé had the same message as he did everywhere
[00:19:20] else he went. He called on the gendarmes,
[00:19:24] among other things, to take responsibility, each
[00:19:28] at his level, in the accomplishment of service
[00:19:31] missions related to the search for
[00:19:34] and transmission of information to the authorities, to the
[00:19:38] operational commitment of units, to ethics, to
[00:19:44] of the gendarmerie, oriented towards the security of people and their
[00:19:48] property, as well as border security. We received
[00:19:52] the commander of the national gendarmerie yesterday
[00:19:55] in the gendarmerie region of Kouilou, and this morning
[00:19:58] we received him in the gendarmerie region of Pointe-Noire.
[00:20:01] He arrived with several objectives, the first
[00:20:05] of which was to get to know the area,
[00:20:08] to understand our difficulties, and to see what could be
[00:20:11] resolved immediately. Secondly, he
[00:20:14] came to convey his message, his vision of what the gendarmerie
[00:20:18] should be, and his vision of how gendarmes should
[00:20:22] behave. He insisted on the fact that we must
[00:20:25] guarantee security for all
[00:20:28] citizens, for the entire population, and when we speak of the entire
[00:20:32] population, we mean the general population, but also politicians
[00:20:35] and decision-makers. His follow-up visit to the sites.
[00:20:39] This is where the national gendarmerie concluded
[00:20:43] its visit to the southern part of the country
[00:20:46] with honors befitting its rank.
[00:20:51] Scheduled for February to April, the
[00:20:54] Infondo Beach Festival is already showing its colors
[00:20:57] after its previous edition. This second
[00:21:01] part aims to mobilize the population around the
[00:21:06] valorization of local cultural heritage.
[00:21:10] The objective is to present the project and request
[00:21:13] its support and, of course, its patronage to give this
[00:21:17] socio-cultural event another
[00:21:21] another dimension, pardon, I was going
[00:21:26] of the Infondo Beach association, which
[00:21:30] is organizing this event, led by its
[00:21:34] president Tombolo, was received in
[00:21:37] audience this morning by Linda Essa,
[00:21:41] Director General of the Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza
[00:21:44] Memorial. The report by Delvel Delisma Passi
[00:21:48] and Guestton Kokolo follows.
[00:21:52] Infondo Beach, a major cultural
[00:21:56] department. This is the ambition of the eponymous association,
[00:21:59] which is already preparing the 2nd edition of its festival, scheduled for February
[00:22:03] to April 2027 in Infondo in the Likouala department.
[00:22:07] Given the scale of the project, its initiators came to present it to Benda
[00:22:10] Ayessa, Director General of the Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza
[00:22:14] Memorial, and seek her patronage.
[00:22:17] A request that received a favorable response, as it aligns
[00:22:20] with the ambitions of this project. Bilinda agreed to be the
[00:22:24] godmother,
[00:22:27] of the association, is justified by the constant commitment of the head of the Pierre
[00:22:30] Savorgnan de Brazza Memorial. The 2nd edition is scheduled for the year
[00:22:34] 2027, the months of February,
[00:22:38] March, and April during the dry season, because the
[00:22:42] site will be built on the sandbanks. We will build
[00:22:44] wooden stands, performance stages
[00:22:48] to serve as platforms for artists and all participants.
[00:22:52] Corridor 13, through which we pass, we thank the President of the
[00:22:55] Republic, the tireless builder. This road
[00:22:59] is highly anticipated, and through this bathing
[00:23:02] and tourist activity, this road will boost the
[00:23:08] department. Beyond the festivities, this second edition
[00:23:12] will give an important place to the training and empowerment
[00:23:15] of local populations, an approach that aims to make
[00:23:19] the festival a real lever of economic opportunities,
[00:23:22] especially for young people and vulnerable people. Another ambition of the
[00:23:26] Infondoub Festival is to promote
[00:23:30] of Likouala: traditional instruments, dance, music,
[00:23:34] traditional wrestling, pirogue racing, and other nautical
[00:23:37] activities should punctuate these three months of festivities. It is
[00:23:41] notably about highlighting an identity,
[00:23:47] We will rediscover
[00:23:50] instruments, for example, that we are gradually
[00:23:53] abandoning. We have an emblematic
[00:23:57] instrument called the zimbe,
[00:24:00] for example, many instruments, and raffia, raffia,
[00:24:04] which is
[00:24:07] Likouala that today
[00:24:10] tends to disappear and is unfortunately
[00:24:14] also being copied with fabrications that are
[00:24:18] no longer really identical to the original. So these are specificities that we
[00:24:22] want to highlight. For example, the race after,
[00:24:25] we are a river people.
[00:24:29] We live by the water and sometimes even with our feet in the water.
[00:24:32] Navigability is part of our daily
[00:24:35] life. We want to highlight
[00:24:38] this capacity by organizing
[00:24:42] a pirogue race.
[00:24:45] It is imperative that young people
[00:24:48] today and tomorrow never forget
[00:24:52] where we come from and what is part of our heritage,
[00:24:55] of our memory. Through this initiative, the association
[00:24:59] infobit has also anticipated the fallout from corridor
[00:25:02] 13, which should strengthen the opening up of Alikouala and
[00:25:06] boost economic and tourist exchanges. The
[00:25:09] training of young people, the valorization of local resources and the transmission of
[00:25:13] heritage thus appear as the main pillars of this 2nd edition of the
[00:25:17] info beach festival which
[00:25:21] Alikouala and a space for promoting local
[00:25:24] development.
[00:25:26] Speaking of the environment, the International Day for the
[00:25:30] Reduction of Disaster Risks, which will be
[00:25:33] celebrated tomorrow, October 13, globally,
[00:25:36] is this year themed "Resilience
[00:25:39] Begins at Home," effectively emphasizing the importance of disaster
[00:25:44] household preparedness

[00:25:58] Environment of the Congo Basin and Development with. in
[00:26:00] 90,

[00:26:44] preparation and proactive management of
[00:26:48] risques face aux crises environnementales et
[00:26:51] climatiques. Le thème de cette année s'inscrit en droite ligne
[00:26:55] du cadre de Saint-Day pour la réduction des risques de
[00:26:58] catastrophes 2015-2030
[00:27:01] risks in the face of environmental
[00:27:04] and climatic crises. This year's
[00:27:07] theme is fully in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
[00:27:11] 2015-2030, whose global aim remains the
[00:27:14] substantial reduction of
[00:27:17] human, economic, social,
[00:27:20] cultural and environmental losses.

[00:27:37] and sustainable cities
[00:27:40] and human settlements. Under the very high
[00:27:44] impetus of His Excellency. Mr. Denis Assun
[00:27:47] Guesso, President of the Republic, Head of State, President of the

[00:27:57] policy in coherence with the international
[00:28:00] and regional commitments of our country. This ambition is
[00:28:03] reflected in particular by the elaboration and strengthening
[00:28:07] of strategic instruments as well as by the development of
[00:28:10] innovative
[00:28:13] information and
