00:00:54after 6 months spent at the 2026 with a staff of 86 trainees selected through a test designed to
00:00:57ensure objectivity and fairness among
00:01:01candidates. At the end of the training, 80 trainees met
00:01:04the required requirements, a success rate of
00:01:0783.02
00:01:10Training tomorrow's executives is the mission of %. The ceremony continued with the proclamation of the results carried out by the assistant training

00:01:57but it obliges
00:02:00you even more. The
00:02:03times, but learning certificate you obtain today should not be seen
00:02:06as the culmination of your career, it should rather
00:02:09be considered as the beginning of a new
00:02:13requirement. Wherever you are
00:02:16assigned, do honor to the training
00:02:19received.
00:02:22Be rigorous without being rigid. Be
00:02:25demanding of yourselves before being demanding of
00:02:28others. Cultivate a taste for a job well
00:02:31done. Constantly seek mastery of your
00:02:35Here, in the forest of functions and never let habit
00:02:40reference, planning of courses for the dull your sense of duty. With 80 trainees
00:02:43admitted out of 86, this first session of the technical aptitude
00:02:46certificate, administration option, thus concludes with a success rate of
00:02:5093.02 %,
00:02:52students within the marking an important step in the

00:03:08the speech of the Director General of Next, we head to the Mari Military Academy where this Wednesday, September 30,
00:03:112026, the closing ceremony of the
00:03:15some machines also have the battery cut-off switch on the Mbumba specified the purpose of 6th Inter-army Staff Course (IM 6) was held
00:03:18under the authority of the commander of the Congolese Armed Forces Schools, Brigadier General
00:03:21Charles Victoire Banti. Frank Moyoki tells us
00:03:24more: After
00:03:27trainers in civil engineering at 6 months of instruction, the 35 trainees of the 6th Inter-army
00:03:30Staff Course at the Mari Wabi Military Academy completed their
00:03:33training. Trained to anticipate the leader's decision-making,
00:03:37these junior and senior Congolese
00:03:40officers, as well as those from brother countries like
00:03:44Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, and Unity, have
00:03:48acquired the knowledge required to work in
00:03:51cohesion within an inter-army
00:03:54staff, according to the
00:03:57results of the top three recipients.
00:04:01Present before Brigadier
00:04:03the engine and if there is an General, commander of the Congolese armed forces schools,
00:04:06it should be noted that the
00:04:08driver can architects of these results were not overlooked
00:04:11as the supervisors received letters of
00:04:15congratulations before the diplomas were awarded to the rest of
00:04:19the class. Finally, the Brigadier General commanding the school
00:04:22launched a vibrant appeal to the
00:04:266th graduating class of staff officers
00:04:30in these words:
00:04:32Ladies and gentlemen, staff
00:04:35officers,
00:04:38success is not final, failure is
00:04:41not fatal, it is courage to continue that counts. These
00:04:45words of Winston Churchill
00:04:48remind us that the training you have just completed is only one
00:04:51step. You leave this
00:04:53academy armed and strengthened with new
00:04:56knowledge that will allow you to assume your
00:05:00future missions and responsibilities with
00:05:03ease and serenity.
00:05:07The diploma and insignia presented to you
00:05:11today are not mere honorary
00:05:14distinctions. They symbolize your
00:05:17entry into the restricted corps of staff
00:05:20officers. You are now the
00:05:24designers of tomorrow's operations, the linchpin
00:05:27of staffs, the valuable advisers of
00:05:30your future leaders, and the
00:05:33guarantors of operational effectiveness on the
00:05:36ground. Listen to the testimonies
00:05:40of two of them: After having spent 6 months of
00:05:44training here at the Mariabi Military Academy, I feel
00:05:47competent to work in a
00:05:51staff at both national and international
00:05:54levels. We have acquired skills in both
00:05:58operational and
00:06:00general education areas. Today,
00:06:06Mario Military Academy, we are
00:06:09able to work within a staff, whether
00:06:13at the local or international
00:06:15level.
00:06:21We remain within the 400 at the Mari Military Academy to witness the
00:06:24opening ceremony of the seven courses for the academic year
00:06:29Engineering School (TR). This ceremony took
00:06:32place this Friday, October 2, 2026, under the patronage of
00:06:36Colonel Major Harment Pascal Momba, Director General of the said
00:06:39school. Images from Hidelitoi, commentary.
00:06:45After a month and a half of well-deserved vacation, the
00:06:48pedagogical activities at the Engineering Works School must resume with
00:06:52force and vigor. To materialize its decision,
00:06:56the General Directorate of the Engineering Works School proceeded on
00:07:00October 2, 2026 to the opening of this course. The
00:07:03opening ceremony, placed under the patronage of the Director of Engineering
00:07:07Works, Colonel Major Armand Pascal
00:07:10Mbumba, saw two major acts:
00:07:14first, the reading of the service notes, setting
00:07:17the organization of the courses presented by Captain Cousissa

00:08:17with the reference. Then came
00:08:20the Engineering Works School, a speech in which Colonel
00:08:24Major Armand Pascal
00:08:27the training well before describing the challenges ahead for the academic
00:08:31year
00:08:322026-2027.
00:08:36This ceremony is related to the beginning of training
00:08:38activities within the framework of the academic year 2020. 6
00:08:422027 which opens with the seven
00:08:46stages for officers and non-commissioned officers currently
00:08:49underway at the Engineering Works School. Indeed,
00:08:53to train is to invest in
00:08:57lifelong
00:08:59learning.
00:09:02It is the only and unique answer to
00:09:04the obsolescence of skills, or even
00:09:07knowledge. We must therefore invest
00:09:11today to be able to meet the
00:09:15demands and challenges of today and those to
00:09:18come.
00:09:23The academic year 2027, which opens this day,
00:09:25adheres to this desire to strengthen
00:09:29skills, aptitudes, and
00:09:31performance that our political authorities and the
00:09:35command are concerned about
00:09:38in order to create in our state favorable
00:09:41conditions and sound foundations
00:09:44for integral development. The Engineering Works
00:09:47School, through its training
00:09:50programs, participates in the achievement of this
00:09:53global objective. In his opening speech, the DG
00:09:57EGT did not fail to thank all the actors
00:10:00who work for the influence of this body of excellence before giving the
00:10:04official launch of the courses. I would
00:10:07inevitably
00:10:10fail if, from this platform, I did not express
00:10:12our gratitude and all our thanks to the very
00:10:16high national authorities,
00:10:20for the benevolent gaze and particular attention they never cease to grant to
00:10:24the Engineering Works School, by sparing no effort for
00:10:27its optimal functioning.
00:10:31I also express my deep and sincere
00:10:33gratitude to the French cooperation
00:10:36which, since the creation of the school, has
00:10:40continuously provided a major and unconditional
00:10:43contribution to logistical support as well as to training
00:10:46support. The cooperation between France and Congo, the
00:10:50creation and implementation of the EGT project is of
00:10:53exemplary quality. I am referring
00:10:57here to the Cooperation, Security and Defense Directorate, CSD for
00:11:00short, to the Engineering School, as
00:11:04well as to the French Embassy in Congo through which the
00:11:07Defense Attaché is an essential pillar
00:11:11in the conduct of our common project. At the end of my
00:11:14remarks, I declare the academic year
00:11:172026-2027 of the Engineering Works School open. Long live
00:11:21Franco-African cooperation, long live France-Congo
00:11:25cooperation, long live the Engineering Works School!
00:11:28Thank you.
00:11:35IMPGEL, the General Preparatory Military School.
00:11:39This week, the children's school opened its doors to a
00:11:42new promotion of young Congolese and foreigners admitted to the
00:11:462026 competition who are taking their first steps in the
00:11:50mold of excellence.
00:11:52the event.
00:11:57On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the General Preparatory
00:12:00Military School of Clark welcomed young 6th grade students
00:12:04admitted to the entrance examination for the school year
00:12:062026-2027. Accompanied by their parents, the new
00:12:11the establishment, marking their transition from civilian to military
00:12:15life. This day of incorporation was particularly
00:12:18full of emotion within the families. In an atmosphere
00:12:22both solemn and full of affection, the parents
00:12:26accompanied their children until the moment of separation. The last
00:12:29hugs and ultimate cuddles constituted strong moments
00:12:33before the young recruits definitively found their feet in their
00:12:36new environment. Now boarders at the General Preparatory
00:12:40Military School Clark, these young students are called upon to gradually
00:12:43adapt to the demands of the military setting. Discipline,
00:12:47rigor, respect for rules, community life and a sense of
00:12:51responsibility now
00:12:54constitute the primary requirements they will have to
00:12:57face daily. For these new recruits, this day is not therefore
00:13:01a simple back-to-school day; it marks the
00:13:04beginning of a process of adaptation to military life and the
00:13:07opening of a new stage of nation-building within the General Preparatory Military School
00:13:11Leclerc. Thus, behind the sometimes emotion-filled eyes of
00:13:14parents and the first steps of young
00:13:17establishment, the beginning of a new journey unfolds,
00:13:21that of a generation called upon to learn, to serve and to
00:13:25grow within a framework based on discipline,
00:13:28rigor and esprit de
00:13:29corps.
00:13:35Female commitment, daily commitment, in the field of
00:13:39training, the army is at work. Half a century
00:13:42later, we continue to write about the commitment of women in
00:13:45uniform, tonight based on interviews conducted
00:13:49with female
00:13:52the Engineering Works School.
00:14:20I am Chief Corporal Manga Délice,
00:14:24trainer. So for hydraulic
00:14:26excavators, I have been detached to the
00:14:30since 2021.
00:14:33After that, I underwent training to be a
00:14:36hydraulic excavator trainer. From that day, after the training, I became a
00:14:40hydraulic excavator trainer. Here we are in
00:14:43a simulation room. What is a
00:14:46simulation room? For anyone wanting to be
00:14:49trained on a hydraulic excavator or on any other machine for
00:14:53any public works engine, they must first pass
00:14:56through a simulation room to be able to add value, meaning that before being able to
00:15:00do some exercises, see how the machine
00:15:03moves before being able to take a step and get hands-on with the machine
00:15:07as it is. That's why here we were lucky that the chief
00:15:11thought of us for this machine to be able to make the
00:15:15training progress, and this year we were able to train the guys from the
00:15:18CTP course who acquired the basics before being able to
00:15:22get hands-on. With the machines here, I am
00:15:25doing an exercise called loading
00:15:28a dump truck.
00:15:32This is part of the work that a hydraulic excavator can do. The hydraulic excavator can
00:15:36perform several types of work, it can
00:15:40create ditches,
00:15:43demolition, loading of materials, this is the exercise I was
00:15:47just
00:15:47doing.
00:15:53I am Master Sergeant Ecoris Sausage Juliette,
00:15:57instructor on the grader. This
00:15:59enormous machine you see is used on earthmoving
00:16:03sites. It performs tasks such as
00:16:06track maintenance, it levels embankments,
00:16:10it creates ditches, it maintains
00:16:13urban roads and utility construction sites and urban
00:16:16roads. So for the construction, the grader has several
00:16:20parts, so it has the main equipment which is this leveling
00:16:23blade with which it performs various
00:16:26tasks, so it is a curved blade which is simple.
00:16:30This shape is made of special steel and is equipped
00:16:33with a sharp lower edge. This one and
00:16:37the blade is fixed on the saddle which is the orientation
00:16:41ring which allows it to take several
00:16:44positions and apart from that it has
00:16:47wheels when we perform the check
00:16:49before starting the machines we also check
00:16:53the different wheels to see if they have not had a
00:16:56failure before starting the machine and apart from that it also has the
00:17:00chassis when you place yourself in front of the machine it has a
00:17:04view it has a general view of the entire
00:17:07machine and we see, perceive first the chassis, it is first
00:17:11this part, it starts from here and
00:17:14down, so the status here represents the status of the machine
00:17:18and on the human body we can compare it to
00:17:22the skeleton and here
00:17:26hydraulic motor, here are the hydraulic
00:17:29pumps and there we have
00:17:33different hoses and it also has the cylinders
00:17:36in the cylinders it is the one that allows the equipment to take certain
00:17:40movements, let me
00:17:40show you.
00:17:48Here I am checking the level of the coolant. It has a
00:17:52filler cap there. I open it, I check the level, but
00:17:55it's not with a dipstick, it's visual. Here is the
00:17:59hydraulic oil filler cap. We fill
00:18:02the hydraulic oil here, but the level is
00:18:05read there.
00:18:09And as for the fuel level, it is checked in the
00:18:11cabin.
00:18:15As for the cabin, it is composed of this element, the
00:18:19steering column, so it holds the steering wheel and here
00:18:23the dashboard is displayed and there we
00:18:27have the different levers, so when we want to
00:18:31give certain movements to the blade, it is done with these
00:18:37the blade or the wheels, it also has the possibility to give an
00:18:40inclination to the chassis, so the chassis of the grader is
00:18:44inclinable, so it can swing left or
00:18:47right, it has the battery cut-off switch, so
00:18:53other side where we check the oil, but here the battery cut-off switch
00:18:56is in the cabin, so as soon as I start when I engage a gear in
00:19:00motion and when
00:19:03I activate with the battery cut-off switch
00:19:06here I have the
00:19:08contacts, I activate and the engine
00:19:12starts, but when the engine starts, I cannot
00:19:16make the machine move immediately, you have to wait a few
00:19:19minutes to allow the machine to idle so that the
00:19:23engine has time to pass the oil into the different organs, so
00:19:27all these operations are performed beforehand and it is
00:19:30necessary and also mandatory, it is to preserve the
00:19:34lifespan of the machine because you cannot just come and
00:19:37get on the machine without first checking
00:19:41anomaly report it if it is a breakdown that the
00:19:46repair, he repairs it, but if it is not at his level he
00:19:49reports it to the hierarchy and the machine will be put in the
00:19:53garage for repair.
00:20:06This brings us to the end of our evening edition. Thank you for joining
00:20:09us, and thanks also to everyone who contributed to the
00:20:13production of this program. See you next edition. Good
00:20:17evening, everyone!
00:23:25the Co mountain in French Guiana, as
00:23:29everywhere in the Amazon, at every moment animals are born
00:23:33or die, watch each other, chase each other,
00:23:36fear each other, avoid each other or ignore each other.
00:23:51A green hell for some, a plant
00:23:54paradise for others, in any case a universe in which nature,
00:23:58as always, does everything to ensure the survival of
00:24:01species.
00:24:06Everyone constantly goes from tranquility to fear.
00:24:10Everyone can eat and be eaten, since such is the law of the
00:24:14jungle. And yet, here
00:24:18as in the savannah, there is always one species that fears
00:24:21no one, which is the undisputed master of this
00:24:24forest. Is it the jaguar, the
00:24:28noblest feline of the continent? Perhaps, but
00:24:31then, the jaguar must share its territory with
00:24:35beings far more ferocious than itself, the
00:24:38false army ants, the terrible legionary ants,
00:24:42the Eciton, the nomadic
00:24:44ants.
00:24:53On the ground, at the foot of gigantic trees, an army
00:24:57marches, consisting of several hundred thousand warriors, or rather
00:25:00warrior women, Amazons, sisters of
00:25:04each other and all daughters of a unique mother,
00:25:07queen.
00:25:11This horde has but one goal: to flush out prey and
00:25:15kill them. But this is not a gratuitous act; they have nearly a million mouths
00:25:18to feed.
00:25:32The army ants use a proven offensive tactic, that of the
00:25:36steam
00:25:36roller.
00:25:40A huge battalion suddenly spreads through the forest on a 20-meter
00:25:43front. This wave of warriors surprises a quantity of small
00:25:47animals. Only those with a solid carapace or who can flee very
00:25:51quickly will escape certain
00:25:52death.
00:26:10These ants born to kill react
00:26:13instantly to tactile stimulations. The more the prey struggles, the more it
00:26:16excites the instinctive aggression of new
00:26:19attackers.
00:26:27Very few insects, once attacked, manage to
00:26:30escape this army on campaign.
00:26:43In ants, as in most insects, behaviors
00:26:47are determined by genetic programming. This is not the case
00:26:51for mammals.
00:26:54This little jaguar, about 2 months old, still lives with its
00:26:57mother and has everything to learn: touch,
00:27:01smell, listen, taste, and gradually
00:27:05appropriate its domain. For it, it is in the middle of a practical
00:27:08lesson, not a theoretical one. But
00:27:12the other inhabitants of the forest ignore these distinctions. For the
00:27:15sloth, the smell of approaching felines commands it
00:27:18to regain the treetops
00:27:20as quickly as possible,
00:27:23because the female jaguar has just scented its
00:27:27presence.
00:27:28leaving her
00:27:46cub alone, even for a short time, is never without
00:27:49risk, especially since it has no awareness of danger, and is interested
