00:01:56direction, to serenely prepare the legislative
00:02:00and local elections while revitalizing the political
00:02:03personnel of the rising Congolese force here in Brazzaville, a meeting that
00:02:07sounds like a general mobilization of the FMC
00:02:10Brazzaville. Beyond the
00:02:12the participation of strategy, the final goal was recalled: to resolutely engage in these
00:02:16electoral consultations to
00:02:18mining and win a large majority in order to
00:02:21facilitate the implementation of the Head of State's vision in terms of
00:02:24development.

00:02:31session, remember
00:02:34defense. How to make that artisanal fishing is a true cultural
00:02:36heritage and a vector of employment that President

00:02:46Ndolé in Congongi. Have an excellent

00:04:21point of view, from the point of view of
00:04:26of space militarization hangs
00:04:31After receiving the Beninese President Romuald de Wadani last Thursday in
00:04:35Brazzaville, on an African tour, the Congolese Head of
00:04:39Republic of Kazakhstan. The President State opened a new to Europe's page of his agenda through the new
00:04:42foreign country delegation that arrived at Olombo International
00:04:46Airport in the early evening of Friday, September 18,
00:04:492026. Denis Sasungeso was welcomed by
00:04:52the prefect of the Nkenia department, Alfonsin Akobe,
00:04:56and other military and
00:04:58civilian authorities. The President of the Republic is starting a visit of
00:05:02a few days, the nature of which is essentially social.
00:05:06However, from the banks of the Alima that he loves so much,
00:05:10the Head of State will continue to scrutinize
00:05:13the progress of his country, of Africa and of the rest of the world. Thus, contacts
00:05:17with different actors are not to be excluded on various
00:05:20and crucial issues such as peace and security, climate
00:05:24change, artificial intelligence, the development of
00:05:27Congo in the era of international uncertainty. This last
00:05:30undertaking sometimes resembles the 12 labors of Hercules, requiring
00:05:34tact, finesse and
00:05:35bravery.
00:05:47Tact, finesse and bravery, these character traits, often lacking in
00:05:51personification, fortunately find their embodiment,
00:05:55even in our
00:05:56latitudes.
00:06:05After Kigali Waada, the Beninese president arrived on the
00:06:08evening of Thursday, September 17, 2026, in
00:06:12Brazzaville for a working visit of a few hours. Romuald
00:06:15Waadani was welcomed upon his arrival by the Prime Minister,
00:06:19Head of Government, Anatole Coliné Macoso. After the welcoming
00:06:23bouquet, the Beninese head of state then greeted the constituted
00:06:26bodies who had come to welcome him, thus
00:06:29setting the tone for this
00:06:33friendship and cooperation between
00:06:36countries. This visit of the first Beninese citizen
00:06:39Romiald Waadagne falls within the framework of strengthening
00:06:43the friendly relations between Benin and Congo. This
00:06:46visit will be marked by a tête-à-tête between President
00:06:50Sasungeso and Romiade Wadani
00:06:53who will discuss bilateral issues. Congo
00:06:56hosts a large Beninese community active in
00:07:00trade and artisanal fishing in Pointe
00:07:02Noire. Shortly before the arrival of President Romney, the
00:07:06Beninese living in Brazzaville traveled to the airport
00:07:10to give a warm welcome to the Beninese president.
00:07:26after his arrival in Brazzaville, the Beninese leader Romial Wadani was
00:07:30received at the Plateau residence by Head of State Denis
00:07:33Sasungeso. The two leaders held high-level talks
00:07:36dedicated to issues of common interest, particularly issues
00:07:40related to strengthening bilateral cooperation between Congo and
00:07:43Benin. The relations between the two countries established in
00:07:471963 are today governed by a framework agreement for
00:07:50cooperation signed in 2010, based on ties of
00:07:54friendship, solidarity, and mutual development. They
00:07:58concern several areas that encompass economy, social,
00:08:01technical, defense, and security. This
00:08:04meeting between Denis Asungeso and Romial Wadani, which
00:08:08testifies to the will of the two heads of state to consolidate the Brazzaville-Cotonou
00:08:11axis, opens new perspectives for
00:08:15Congo-Benin cooperation. At the end of these fruitful talks in every
00:08:19respect, President Romien Le Wadani left Brazzaville this
00:08:22Thursday in the early
00:08:24evening.

00:08:35km from Mosaka by navigable route and 25

00:08:41locality in Likuala Mossaca, which gives it all its freshness
00:08:45and originality, had the honor and privilege of hosting on Sunday, September 20,
00:08:492026, the President of the
00:08:51Republic.
00:08:57Denis Sasu Ngesso came to witness a traditional fishing
00:09:00party called Lokala in Likuba, the local
00:09:05State and his entourage, the fishermen of Ndolé village,
00:09:09with their feet in the water, demonstrated their full talent to
00:09:13offer the audience, according to Brel Kumu, a native of
00:09:16Mosaka, a memorable fishing party, combining
00:09:19dexterity, agility, and
00:09:20ingenuity.
00:09:24When you see the thing we surrounded the house with, there are fish in it, we're going to remove the
00:09:27weeds, then there are fish down there, there are
00:09:31fish,
00:09:33after that we'll remove them, there are
00:09:35fish.
00:09:43For the prefect of the Congo Ubange department, Habib Gilas
00:09:45Ubambioko, and the deputy of Mosaka 2, Marien Mobonzo
00:09:49and Ndonga, the presence of the President of the Republic Denise
00:09:52Assou at the traditional fishing party is a strong
00:09:55signal, a source of joy and hope. As the
00:09:59prefect of the
00:10:00department,
00:10:07it is a great satisfaction to receive the father of the nation, tonight. Here
00:10:11we are in Misaka. Dolé, 45 km
00:10:14from Saka, the capital of fish, so it is a feeling
00:10:18of satisfaction, we believe that
00:10:21this should be an impetus, an impetus for...
00:10:25around fishing to organize tourism, to
00:10:29organize aquaculture, to organize other ideas, to
00:10:32organize in general, the
00:10:35development of the area, which is a specific area, income-generating
00:10:39activity, artisanal fishing in Ndolé
00:10:43arouses great interest from the youth of this
00:10:45locality who are asking for support from the public
00:10:49authorities.
00:10:53The traditional fishing party in Ndolé village was a moving
00:10:57moment for the President of the Republic. Through it,
00:11:00Denis Sasugesso immersed himself in the memories of his
00:11:03youth. He praised the commitment of compatriots
00:11:06living in this part of the Republic who produce goods useful for life
00:11:10without destroying nature. This reminds
00:11:14me of all my
00:11:16youth,
00:11:19because I was born,
00:11:23I grew up in this
00:11:26environment,
00:11:31and I do what the
00:11:34other young people there
00:11:37do in front of us. Well, before entering
00:11:41modern life, for a brief
00:11:45history,
00:11:48to enter college in
00:11:496th grade,
00:11:53I was actually
00:11:55looking in the middle of the forest, I was
00:11:59in the
00:12:00mud,
00:12:03and they took me out of the mud, to
00:12:07college, it's a natural environment for me,
00:12:09it's a great pleasure to
00:12:12reconnect with this environment, to
00:12:16connect,
00:12:18and here we are
00:12:22in the heart of the Congo Basin.
00:12:26And I'm happy to see that the parents
00:12:29here continue to fight with their bare
00:12:32hands, their great
00:12:36support, they are there, they
00:12:39fight with their bare
00:12:41hands and they
00:12:44produce without destroying
00:12:47nature. To continue his speech, the Head of State asked the
00:12:51peasants to follow the government's program, which, he added, includes
00:12:55the development of agricultural activities, but also fishing, which
00:12:58justifies the existence of ministries within the executive in charge of
00:13:01fluvial economy. The government has launched
00:13:05a major agricultural development
00:13:08program. Regarding
00:13:11fishermen, we have set
00:13:14up an entire ministerial
00:13:18department
00:13:21the fluvial economy.
00:13:25We will provide them with the
00:13:27support, the same support we provide to
00:13:31farmers through mechanization. After answering
00:13:34press questions, President
00:13:38to Oyo, where he continues his
00:13:40stay.
00:13:48The Congolese Head of State arrived in Paris this Tuesday, September 8,
00:13:522026, accompanied by the First Lady,
00:13:55for a working visit of a few days at the invitation of his
00:13:59counterpart, Emmanuel Macron. President Denis
00:14:01Sasungesso is making his great return to the international
00:14:05scene, 6 months after his brilliant re-election to the Supreme
00:14:09Magistracy. Upon leaving the diplomatic lounge of Roissy Charles De
00:14:12Gaulle, the President of the Republic and his wife were greeted by
00:14:16diplomatic personnel and by some active forces of the Paris
00:14:20scene. Sasungeso will participate in the very first international
00:14:23summit on space, organized on September 9 and 10
00:14:27at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. In
00:14:31fact, the President of the Republic approaches this crucial diplomatic
00:14:35comeback with a firm conviction to place Congo at
00:14:38the heart of major political projects where issues of
00:14:41sovereignty and technological innovation intersect.
00:14:59The Paris summit is therefore an opportunity to open a dialogue between
00:15:03decision-makers from nearly 120 countries in the service of a space commensurate
00:15:06with the challenges of our time. This global meeting takes place in a
00:15:10complex diplomatic climate. In this
00:15:12context, the redefinition of scientific and economic
00:15:16alliances, the presence of historical figures of African
00:15:19diplomacy such as President Denis Sasungeso, demonstrates that
00:15:23space is no longer the private hunting ground of a few nations,
00:15:27but a common good where Africa intends to take its full
00:15:30place. Ultimately, after the series of Entalia
00:15:33beaches, it is a calendar resolutely focused on the
00:15:36future that awaited the President of the Republic Denis Assoungesso in
00:15:40the French
00:15:40capital.
00:15:49Élysée Palace, Wednesday, September 9,
00:15:512026. 10:20 AM, the grand gate
00:15:55opens and the President of the Republic Nissasungeso makes his
00:15:59entry under the honors of the Republican
00:16:01Guard.
00:16:14Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron descends the steps
00:16:18of the palace to meet his guest, the Congolese Head
00:16:21of State. Warm greetings and embraces, this is the sign of
00:16:25cooperation and bilateral issues that announce the
00:16:28quality of the one-on-one discussions between the two
00:16:31presidents. Yes, regarding technological and
00:16:35scientific issues, the one-on-one meeting between the two leaders offers
00:16:39the opportunity to review several major bilateral and
00:16:42regional issues. In climate and environmental
00:16:45matters, in his capacity as President of the Congo Basin
00:16:49Climate Commission, President Denis Sasungesso
00:16:52addressed the follow-up of international commitments
00:16:56on carbon credits and the financing of biodiversity
00:16:59and the blue fund for the Congo Basin. Regional
00:17:02stability, with the security situation in Central Africa
00:17:06and the Great Lakes region where Brazzaville regularly
00:17:09plays a mediation role, was also on the
00:17:12table for discussions. In terms of economic
00:17:15partnership, Denis Sungesso and Emmanuel Macron
00:17:19reviewed French investments in Congo,
00:17:23and infrastructure sectors. This high-level
00:17:27meeting reaffirms the solidity of diplomatic relations
00:17:29between Paris and Brazzaville, while
00:17:32embedding their historical partnerships in the technological
00:17:36challenges of tomorrow.
00:17:53At the national space summit in Paris, Wednesday was
00:17:57dedicated to major themes and key panel sessions, namely
00:18:00space science and exploration, global space
00:18:03economy, regulation of space activities,
00:18:08security and governance,
00:18:11space a domain of cooperation, development and
00:18:15security, while avoiding it becoming a new space for
00:18:19confrontation and inequality. is the
00:18:22central issue of this summit. Currently, private
00:18:25companies now play a key role in launchers,
00:18:28satellites, telecommunications, as well as
00:18:31services based on the exploitation of spatial
00:18:34data. For African countries, these technologies can
00:18:38be mobilized in sectors such as maritime
00:18:41surveillance, agriculture, land use planning, the
00:18:45management of natural resources, earth observation also allows
00:18:49monitoring of forests and climate phenomena. For Congo,
00:18:53which hosts an essential part of the Congo Basin, these capabilities
00:18:56are of particular strategic importance. We are
00:19:00very happy to be here in Paris at the International Space
00:19:03Summit. President Macron did us the
00:19:06honor of inviting his counterpart, President Denis Sasungesso, because
00:19:10Congo has an ambition for space since
00:19:132016, a common initiative was launched in
00:19:15Brazzaville, European Union, African
00:19:19Union on an observation satellite on environmental
00:19:23issues. Most recently, our heads
00:19:26of state decided to
00:19:30Africa because the major decisions that concern even our daily lives, the
00:19:33monitoring of our forests, our water courses, the prevention of natural
00:19:37disasters, the issue of monitoring our borders and you know how
00:19:40important this issue is today
00:19:44the integrity of our territory and our country. All
00:19:48these issues can be monitored, resolved through
00:19:51satellites. So the presence of Congo here is justified
00:19:55both from a diplomatic
00:19:59cooperation and ambition
00:20:02and that the President of the Republic will make very important announcements
00:20:05concerning in particular the... observation of the Congo
00:20:09Basin forest and it is also important to know that Congo has an ambitious
00:20:13space program with the
00:20:16of the Republic, with this partner, is working to ensure that in
00:20:202028, Congo puts its first satellite into
00:20:23orbit and we are currently with our partners from
00:20:27Kazakhstan in the training phase of our
00:20:31engineers in the preparation phase of this
00:20:35launch. Africa cannot be on the sidelines. At this first international
00:20:38summit, the Republic of Congo therefore has an important role to play, given the
00:20:42leader of the Republic of Congo, particularly in his capacity as President of the
00:20:46Climate Commission. The President of the Republic, in his wisdom,
00:20:50I think it is important that we have a
00:20:53forest observatory for the Congo Basin because we need this
00:20:57data to better manage our forest, which is a global
00:21:00heritage. Space must be a tool for Africa's development
00:21:04and not a new factor of dependency. Today, there is almost
00:21:08one launch every two days, apart from an actor like SpaceX in the
00:21:11United States. There are 1800 satellites in
00:21:14orbit, almost 70% of which are now
00:21:18satellites launched by private
00:21:22operators. One of the major consequences at the technological level is that these
00:21:26satellites, which cost at least 10 years ago a minimum of 50 million
00:21:30dollars per unit, today the unit cost of a satellite is approximately
00:21:33250,000 dollars for a satellite like the one your colleague
00:21:37will show you shortly, which means that Congo can actually
00:21:39enter space as an actor with much lower
00:21:43entry costs than what was feasible 10 years ago. The applications
00:21:46are numerous for us. First of all, in low-orbit satellites,
00:21:50it's about enabling resilience for all telecommunication coverage for white
00:21:54zones. So instead of having classic terrestrial networks with
00:21:57pylons, this kind of low-orbit satellite
00:22:01allows for coverage for a country like ours where the density is low and the area
00:22:04is large, which is very important. The second application is actually observation in the
00:22:08civilian domain. For us, the most
00:22:12protection, forest exploitation,
00:22:14and the extension of our mineral resources. So
00:22:18quite a few cooperations can be done to allow us to have the data and images that
00:22:22enable us to protect one of the important resources of
00:22:26Congo and the entire sub-region, the Congo Basin and the forest for which we
00:22:29are the guardians to ensure that our
00:22:33role as carbon capture guardians is achieved with
00:22:36measurable elements, allowing us to tap into funds on the carbon
00:22:40markets. The last element is the security element. Satellites also
00:22:44play a role in everything related to defense. Now, this is a somewhat
00:22:48more opaque element, generally with satellites that are geostationary or in high orbit,
00:22:52much, much more expensive to acquire, and therefore are
00:22:55today the private domain of countries like China, the United States,
00:22:59Russia, etc. For the digital domain, very, very clearly, for us the
00:23:02first application is telecom coverage, the second application is
00:23:06to support our colleagues in
00:23:08forest protection. And
00:23:12then the last element is to ensure that in space governance,
00:23:16Africa and Congo play a role from the very beginning of this
00:23:19transformation that is happening in space. First of all,
00:23:22like the topic of artificial intelligence, today there are two topics in
00:23:26which technology is evolving very rapidly, space and AI,
00:23:30and these are topics where we should not disengage thinking that we are too far to be able to
00:23:33participate. The entry costs are very different. Participation in
00:23:37research, for us, Congo, we need to think about
00:23:41secondary programs, in university research, to
00:23:44start integrating, my colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, spoke of collaboration with
00:23:48Kazakhstan. Encourage students
00:23:51to integrate into science fields that touch space,
00:23:55whether it's from satellite design to image
00:23:58processing. These are not areas that are far from us because
00:24:02we have more concrete problems like electricity and water and so on. We
00:24:05must think that this technology can help us even manage and mobilize
00:24:09resources on subjects that are very concrete in the country. For the
00:24:13development of its space agency, Congo continues its
00:24:16collaboration with Kazakhstan, a cooperation
00:24:19initiated with this country in 2025. It plans the launch of
00:24:23this space agency and its placement in orbit by
00:24:262028, a project that relies on a public-private
00:24:29partnership with the aerospace company
00:24:32Garish
00:24:33Sapari.
00:24:38This is a real launch of the new orbital diplomacy this
00:24:41September 10, 2026, at the Grand Palais in Paris.
00:24:45The International Space Summit brought together space
00:24:49agencies, heads of state, and giants of the private sector.
00:24:53The objective is to rewrite the rules of the
00:24:56game above our heads in a sector
00:24:59in full upheaval. Co-chaired by Germany and
00:25:02France, this summit opens under high geopolitical
00:25:05tension. Between cyber-attacks, anti-satellite
00:25:09weapons, dual-use technology,
00:25:11civilian and military, the fear
00:25:16over the discussions. From the top of the platform,
00:25:20President Emmanuel Macron delivered a landmark speech.
00:25:25strategic autonomy, technological sovereignty
00:25:28and global regulation of the sector.
00:25:32Space is everywhere. It is therefore
00:25:34a message of power and dialogue that this summit
00:25:38conveys. Lucidity dictates that space
00:25:42is no longer a sanctuary.
00:25:45Despite the 1967 treaty,
00:25:48outer space
00:25:50remains the only global common that is not subject
00:25:54to regulation commensurate with the challenges.
00:25:57Science, like the data that comes from it, cannot
00:26:01be the prey of a country or countries.
00:26:04The first of the universe confront us with a new physics, exoplanets
00:26:08open up the possibility of life emerging elsewhere
00:26:11than on Earth, devices like the James Web telescope
00:26:15allow us to go back in time, rovers like the one that
00:26:19will leave with the MMX mission in a few days offer
00:26:22which is why cooperation
00:26:26these projects and excellent
00:26:29scientific projects, I am thinking among others of the Euclid
00:26:34ESA. One fact moved the delegates,
00:26:37the exchange with Liss, French President
00:26:40Emmanuel Macron spoke live with
00:26:43French astronaut Sophie Adenout,
00:26:46currently on mission aboard the International
00:26:49Space Station. Sophie, we will have to leave you, do you
00:26:53have a last word to say to everyone? This mission was a dream
00:26:57of exploration and finally it became a formidable
00:27:00lesson in humanity with a single objective on the planet
00:27:04but also unique exchanges I had throughout the mission
00:27:07and this one will be part of it, thank you in any case
00:27:11and I look forward to seeing you all when I have to do it.
00:27:14This summit, which brought together delegations from 90
00:27:17countries and nearly 1100 companies,
00:27:21concluded with a mobilization of the ecosystem
00:27:24with more than 50 projects signed and 20 billion euros
00:27:28in financial commitments. During the week
00:27:31of negotiations, will the great powers succeed in signing
00:27:34in outer space?
00:27:38In any case, the discussions promise to be tough and
00:27:42the final declaration expected at the end of the week
00:27:46for the future
00:27:47of international cooperation.
00:27:51Space has already entered our lives, these are the satellites
00:27:55in orbit around the Earth that allow
00:27:58on it, to observe it and to
00:28:02communicate. They are also indispensable for the deployment
00:28:05of connected objects, autonomous vehicles, telemedicine,
00:28:08maritime transport
00:28:12défense du territoire,
00:28:15Africa in this summit which aims, among
00:28:18other things, to promote a direct dialogue as well as visions.
