00:04:11had exhibitions of research, passing through
00:04:13plant
00:04:16theme "Electricity, engine of production, animal production, and
00:04:19so on and let's not forget that for during this

00:04:35extend their knowledge in terms of agricultural
00:04:38knowledge to be able to be trained during these two
00:04:42weeks since the training courses are
00:04:45free and open to
00:04:47the same ambition: to make everyone, to all willing people who would
00:04:50in any case uh come and benefit from this
00:04:53initiative of the highest level of the state, an
00:04:57initiative carried by the President of the Republic since we
00:05:00are now in the 2nd
00:05:03Leaders of Congo, the DG of edition, the first one took place 6 months ago in February last, and we
00:05:07are happy to note that this project which was launched by the Head of
00:05:10State, has accelerated, Serge Bunome
00:05:14Nata amplifies with this 2nd
00:05:17since the second
00:05:20edition has a very particular feature which
00:05:23consists of having a certain added value that we didn't have in the first
00:05:27edition, there are training courses, there
00:05:30is the transfer of skills in terms of
00:05:33research, technology and innovation and
00:05:36also the plethora in any case of
00:05:39productions that are presented here during the... 2nd
00:05:42edition, well, all's well that ends
00:05:46well, since the initiator of the project is leaving the
00:05:49premises, which announces the
00:06:14gathered all along the road accompanying the Head of State,
00:06:18they have forgotten distance, they have forgotten
00:06:21the constraints of time, they have forgotten their daily
00:06:25activities, they wanted to be there to experience this
00:06:29event and to see first-hand what is happening here
00:06:32in Guitele because it is an event that will remain
00:06:36forever etched, etched in any
00:06:39the history of agricultural development of our country.
00:06:45there is a particularity to note, you will
00:06:49State in any case uh
00:06:53makes every effort to open up uh
00:06:56areas considered really uh
00:07:00difficult to access here we
00:07:03are in Bambou Mingali it is about fifty kilometers
00:07:06from Brazzaville North he comes therefore to erect in the
00:07:10when he actually makes a jewel. the
00:07:12expo park of
00:07:16Agriculture which uh hosts the
00:07:19different editions uh of the great agricultural fair and this
00:07:23ultimately allows to open
00:07:26to connect uh this locality to the rest of
00:07:29Congo and the world, he has always done it, we remember in the
00:07:3380s, we are in 83, the President of the
00:07:35Republic will have a high-end
00:07:38studio built
00:07:41in Mafu. h in 83 already and it is
00:07:45this it is this studio which eventually
00:07:48saw several renowned artists
00:07:51like Tabouley like Franco and there were even
00:07:54American artists who came it was called Liad
00:07:58so that means that the president always thinks of the
00:08:02marginalized today with this achievement we can say
00:08:05that finally finally Congo
00:08:08continues in this path which consists. finally of
00:08:12repairing social injustices, you saw
00:08:15this policy called accelerated municipalization which
00:08:19today allowed to de-complex other departments
00:08:23of Congo, saw Sibiti really emerge
00:08:27practically from the forests to become a great
00:08:30city, saw Evo in a short time become a great
00:08:34city, hats off to the Head of
00:08:39bravo for this... this tireless
00:08:42builder that he
00:08:45is, he has always demonstrated it, throughout the
00:08:48years that pass, he is truly the tireless
00:08:51builder, the one who has always had this
00:08:55desire to modernize Congo, to cover
00:08:59the four corners of Congo with modern
00:09:01infrastructure, yesterday we did not know that this entire
00:09:04area would constitute a whole department,
00:09:08State and today the
00:09:11city of Diigny. with its surroundings benefits from this
00:09:15project which is becoming international, since through
00:09:18this 2nd edition, we have not only
00:09:23national production of our country, but also of the
00:09:27world, notably from Congo's partners, China
00:09:30and brother countries who have come to encourage,
00:09:34support this Congolese initiative which today makes our
00:09:38country proud, also to emphasize that this is a great
00:09:40opportunity for these... entrepreneurs and these farmers
00:09:43to bear in mind that this initiative and
00:09:47this dynamic they have in hand, this commitment they have
00:09:51wholeheartedly stemming from this will of the Head of State must not
00:09:54stop because we have the African Continental Free Trade Area
00:09:58which is coming fast and uh it
00:10:01is these these products from Congo must be
00:10:04known throughout the world uh by this great
00:10:07market that will open and that will pass through Congo and we
00:10:11have followed how, through his company project RCL
00:10:15Lamarche, the President
00:10:17decided to modernize the road
00:10:20infrastructure and electrify the entire
00:10:24national territory. He showed and demonstrated through his last
00:10:28inaugurations and his campaign promises, we have
00:10:31seen how he launched, he gave his
00:10:35word to launch
00:10:37the works of corridor 13 which will
00:10:41connect Congo to other countries, we have seen how
00:10:45he launched a few months ago the modernization works
00:10:49of the Congo railroad, we see
00:10:51how Brazzaville is transforming today, Brazzaville is entirely
00:10:55with the modernization of urban
00:10:58roads, it must be noted, said and made known to the
00:11:02Congolese public, that it is the personal will
00:11:05of the president of the republic, since it is a project
00:11:09he carries and supervises himself in person, so
00:11:12it is a will that must be praised and that is not given to everyone, it is a
00:11:16grace, a chance for us to have a head of state who has so
00:11:20much energy and so much will to be able to offer the
00:11:23best to the Congolese.
00:11:25confidence, ale France Tokabeka, recently,
00:11:31ambassadors from African countries who came to present him
00:11:34their letters of credence and we saw the ambassador of Mauritania

00:19:00Migali, I invite you to follow this exchange with
00:19:04Mr. Blanchard.
00:19:07coordinator of this
00:19:09project.
00:19:15Today we welcome Mr. Guy Blanchard, national
00:19:19coordinator of the Congo Basin Climate Network. Hello
00:19:23sir, hello madam journalist. How are you? I
00:19:27am fine, madam. Mr. Okeri will present throughout
00:19:30this broadcast, the Nzété and
00:19:33Yabomoil project, in French, the tree of life. An
00:19:37ambitious initiative to reforest 100 hectares
00:19:40intended for the
00:19:43ecosystem and the protection of the environment.
00:19:46Ladies and gentlemen, dear viewers, hello, I am Claude Lingonimba and
00:19:50welcome to the magazine Africa
00:20:14ours, in any case, as I said in the introduction, you are
00:20:17national coordinator of the Congo Climate
00:20:20Network, but also president of the Center for
00:20:23Development of Social Actions for Congo,
00:20:27CDASCO for short, tell us what does this
00:20:30function represent for you? Uh, I want
00:20:33to really give a general
00:20:38presentation of my humble self, okay, I am Mr.
00:20:42Guy Blanchard, I am the national coordinator
00:20:46of the Congo Climate Network,
00:20:48Knight of... of Congolese merit for peace
00:20:52and I am also climate
00:20:54ambassador, in any case delighted and tell us, uh tell us
00:20:58concretely concerning the Nditi
00:21:01Yabomoy project, what was the trigger and why did you
00:21:05launch it? You know well uh that
00:21:08the date of November 7,
00:21:102022 is a very
00:21:13significant date for us because it is on this
00:21:17date that the President of the Republic... had
00:21:20launched the decade and
00:21:24then during the
00:21:27SCIAR, the International Conference on
00:21:30Afforestation, Reforestation, where I had
00:21:34given a speech,
00:21:36during my speech, I had made a firm
00:21:39commitment before
00:21:42all the guests and from this tribune
00:21:45uh in front of Madam Minister
00:21:49Rosaline.
00:21:52accompanying her in this fight and
00:21:55therefore this project is the product of the
00:21:59concretization of this commitment made during the
00:22:03CER, but also this
00:22:06initiative carried by the President of the Republic
00:22:10on the 25th of
00:22:122025 had been
00:22:16adopted by the United Nations and it
00:22:20therefore becomes a decade
00:22:23international for afforestation,
00:22:25reforestation, so as initiator Congo,
00:22:29we must therefore do what is necessary to
00:22:33precisely ensure that we keep our place
00:22:37as the leader, the initiator of this
00:22:40event, so here are the
00:22:44three elements, uh you know that every
00:22:47November of every year we... in planting,
00:22:50that's at the national level, so that's already in
00:22:54our DNA, and and added to that
00:22:57uh this initiative at the
00:23:01international level which was initiated by Congo,
00:23:04so we are here therefore to
00:23:07materialize this initiative,
00:23:11okay, can you briefly present your
00:23:15mission regarding this project? Well, I am
00:23:18uh the Congo Climate Network is an
00:23:22implementation structure so the project
00:23:26is represented as if we have a tripartite
00:23:29agreement and it has on
00:23:32one side the state represented by the
00:23:37Forest Economy and on the other side you have
00:23:41the donor who is Seat Congo
00:23:44and on the other side you have the Congo Climate Network which is
00:23:48the initiator and the implementation structure
00:23:52of this project, this ambitious project
00:23:55of afforestation of 100 hectares in the Bamboume
00:23:59land reserve, precisely speaking of this reserve,
00:24:02why did you choose the Bambouminga land reserve? For a
00:24:06simple and good reason that
00:24:09having a site that has
00:24:12a guarantee, that is to say, that guarantees us that the project will be
00:24:16executed without suffering
00:24:20pressures, for example, from people and
00:24:24other things, but it is a secured land
00:24:28reserve and for that reason we have
00:24:31chosen it and because the initiative
00:24:35is also from the state and we have chosen
00:24:39this site because this site is secured and we
00:24:42will not have problems
00:24:45coming from here and there so, okay, but what
00:24:49is the impact that this project will have on the environment and on the
00:24:53population? You are aware that
00:24:55afforestation, it is,
00:24:59it is something in terms
00:25:03of climate change, it is
00:25:05a main element for precisely, you know the
00:25:09whole world, it has polluters who are
00:25:13uh our our our our friends
00:25:16from the from the south and we. here
00:25:20we who are the solution, the solution is
00:25:23what, it's planting to mitigate
00:25:25precisely, you can imagine today we are in the month
00:25:29of of July,
00:25:32usually the rains should have lasted until
00:25:35June, even a little bit into July, but you see the
00:25:38rains stopped since
00:25:42May, so there are heatwaves, there are
00:25:46droughts, there are disappearances, these are... the
00:25:50causes, the harms of climate change,
00:25:53so how to remedy and save the
00:25:57world, because our solution when we plant here and
00:26:01the beneficiaries are not only the Congolese, but we
00:26:04are solving a situation globally,
00:26:07internationally, based on our
00:26:10initiative and we are here to
00:26:14precisely try to mitigate the effects
00:26:17of climate change, I would like us to go back to what you
00:26:21said earlier about pollution, you said that it is our friends
00:26:24from the south who are, let's say, those who pollute a little.
00:26:28our environment, how is that explained in fact?
00:26:32Well here,
00:26:35you see here when you see
00:26:39the statistics at our level, Congo
00:26:41does not pollute, it does not have industries
00:26:45here, it does not pollute but we have
00:26:49the solution here as our friends from the DRC say that
00:26:52their country is a solution country,
00:26:55solution why? Because everything
00:26:58that China does, the United States
00:27:02does. everything that France, all these people
00:27:05do, and the solution is what, it's us, because
00:27:08they don't have forests there, we have the Congo Basin, they
00:27:12don't have many things, we don't have peatlands, we have
00:27:15peat bogs here so the the formalization
00:27:19of the initiative, that's what's well
00:27:23founded, thank you very much, you told us earlier that you
00:27:28Order of Merit of Congo for peace and an ambassador
00:27:32of... climate by the intergovernmental panel of
00:27:34experts on environment and climate, notably the
00:27:38IPCC, how does this distinction strengthen your
00:27:41commitment? Well, you know, as
00:27:45a civil society organization, we
00:27:48are here to support the state,
00:27:51you see the initiative launched by the state,
00:27:54but we have taken this concern at
00:27:58our level to respond promptly to this
00:28:01grievance. issued by the state, so
00:28:04uh because of what we have
00:28:08always done and that's why we received this
00:28:11distinction, because the fight is not new, it's been
00:28:1525 years that we have been in this fight,
00:28:18supporting public authorities
00:28:21uh to precisely uh at
00:28:25all levels, and that's why the state, as
00:28:29a token of recognition, has
00:28:33awarded us this distinction of
00:28:35Knight of the Wall of the Congolese Order for Peace, so we have
00:28:39for peace and other things at the
00:28:43IPCC level, these are the activities that we
00:28:46carry out in the framework of the fight against climate change
00:28:50and which have led to us being
00:28:53rewarded today, or rather recognized, not rewarded, but recognized
00:28:57by the IPCC as an actor involved in the fight
00:29:00against climate change. I wanted to go back to the
00:29:04birth of the Congo Climate Network, yes,
00:29:08well, the Congo Climate Network, you see, is this great
00:29:11entity that uh brings together within it
00:29:14several associative
00:29:17here, in the capital city, we have the antenna in
00:29:21Ouesso, we have the antenna in Pointe Noire,
00:29:24and it was born how? It was at the request
00:29:27precisely of the public authorities, we
00:29:31always had uh structures that fight against
00:29:34the environment, that fight against this and that,
00:29:38air pollution and everything, but there
00:29:40was a structure missing that
00:29:44specifically deals with climate
00:29:46issues, and that's how we
00:29:52important support, financial support from the
00:29:55EU that accompanied us
00:29:59in the structuring to... to
00:30:02la jusqu'à la à formaliser la
