00:00:43Very happy to see you again for this morning news edition on Télé Congo ladies and gentlemen,
00:00:47hello. In the 6am summary, the populations of Pen
00:00:50district in the department of Lalikua are facing rising waters following the
00:00:53torrential rains that have fallen in recent days. They received a visit from one of
00:00:57their own, Minister Léonard Leonard. Noël and Songu, the detats in
00:01:01a few moments. And then the reform of the UN Security Council
00:01:04continues to be on the diplomatic agenda of African states. The
00:01:08French Development foreign ministers of the Committee of 10 countries are currently meeting
00:01:12in Libya. That's
00:01:15Economy, Planning, all for the headlines.
00:01:17Statistics and We open this news report in Tripoli, Libya, where the foreign ministers
00:01:19of the countries that make up the Committee of 10 of the African Union have gathered
00:01:23to harmonize their positions and defend the reform of the United
00:01:27Nations Security Council. The Republic of Congo was represented. at its
00:01:30assistance the Minister of Foreign Affairs Constance Serge Bunda. Follow this
00:01:33report by Barol Agnolo.
00:01:36Among the foreign ministers here in Tripoli, the Congolese
00:01:40Constance Serjunda, all display their will for a
00:01:44common position with a view to
00:01:46marks the authorities' commitment to making
00:01:46the UN 2030 agenda, correcting an anomaly of history, the underrepresentation of the African
00:01:49continent in the United Nations Security Council. From
00:01:53Congo, whose voice is carried by Minister Serge Bunda, the
00:01:57Tripoli meeting aims at the coordination of African
00:02:00diplomacy, as an orientation, it is about
00:02:03supporting a more just and more representative reform of the
00:02:07multilateral system with
00:02:11conditions of the one objective, namely at least two permanent seats for Africa. The ministers do not stop
00:02:15at the number of seats, they have evoked for Africa the
00:02:19Trade, Supplies and Consumption in charge of same prerogatives as those of other current permanent
00:02:22members, including the right of veto, as well as five
00:02:25permanent seats. The ministers reject any formula that
00:02:29would place future African permanent representatives
00:02:32in a second-class position. Beyond principles, the challenge in
00:02:36Tripoli is to transform international support for this
00:02:40demand into concrete progress in the
00:02:43negotiations. The Pact for the Future commits us to remedying
00:02:46society project. the historical injustice done to Africa, to acknowledge the
00:02:50need to treat its representation as a special
00:02:54case. This commitment must
00:02:58now be explicitly translated into the negotiating
00:03:01texts and into any consolidated reform
00:03:04model. In parallel, the African
00:03:08Union would benefit from deepening its
00:03:11reflection on the criteria for
00:03:14selection, the rotation and the
00:03:17accountability of its future representatives in order
00:03:20to anticipate the requirements of a reformed
00:03:24Security Council. The participation of Congo in this meeting consecrates
00:03:28its solidarity with the continent and its support for a more
00:03:31equitable multilateralism, as has always been
00:03:35situation of Congo today but also of emphasized by the President of the Republic of Nguesso. Africa, once again, asks
00:03:39for neither privilege nor favor, it demands
00:03:42justice, equity and recognition, a legitimate
00:03:46place in global governance. Our
00:03:49collective responsibility is to ensure that future
00:03:52generations are no longer forced to
00:03:55denounce the same injustice. Africa has shown
00:04:01science, it has shown responsibility, it has
00:04:03shown unity, it is now up to the international
00:04:07community to show real political
00:04:10will. I cannot conclude my
00:04:14remarks without reiterating to this august
00:04:16assembly, the ambition of the Republic of Congo, to
00:04:20carry our collective voice by presenting
00:04:24itself as a non-permanent member of the Security
00:04:26Council for the period 2030,
00:04:302031 and we already
00:04:33The Minister of Energy and solicit your support at the end of discussions between the foreign ministers here
00:04:37in Tripoli, the message is to make the reform of the Security Council
00:04:41a concrete step forward for Africa and
00:04:44not another empty
00:04:47Resources and promise. Let's return to Brazzaville to talk about the work session
00:04:50that the Minister of Economy, Planning, Statistics and Foresight, Ludvick
00:04:54Ngaté had with development partners regarding the
00:04:56elaboration of the NDP 2027/2031. This was
00:05:00a consultation meeting to gather recommendations and to stimulate
00:05:04the mobilization of financial resources for the projects that will be selected. Report
00:05:08Léonard Pondi.
00:05:10The government is working to equip the... for the period
00:05:132027/2031 with a national development plan
00:05:17that is realistic, inclusive and attractive in terms of its
00:05:20financing, a plan that will be the first step of the
00:05:242063 vision. In the
00:05:27dynamic of its elaboration and after the
00:05:31the workshop held from September 23 to 25 last year in
00:05:35Kintélé, it was deemed useful to consult development
00:05:38partners, share national priorities with them and
00:05:42prepare... and the mobilization of financing. The elaboration of the
00:05:45national development plan requires that the process be
00:05:48participative, so today's meeting was a
00:05:52consultation with partners, friends of
00:05:56Congo. We wanted to listen to them, to
00:05:59hear them, to receive their observations on what is being
00:06:03done and perhaps for them to give their opinion on the
00:06:06continuation of what we are doing and what they want from
00:06:09Congo. The meeting was attended by representatives of UN agencies,
00:06:12the World Bank, the International Monetary
00:06:16Fund, the African Development Bank, the
00:06:21Agency, as well as some diplomats.
00:06:24Opening the session, the Minister of
00:06:29Foresight, highlighted the coherence of the future
00:06:33NDP, the Congo 2063 vision
00:06:36and the international development programs in which
00:06:40Congo has engaged. The future NDP must thus
00:06:44ensure a coherent articulation between this long-term
00:06:47vision and the medium-term priorities adopted in the
00:06:51PNG. It should also take into account the
00:06:54commitments our country has made, notably under
00:06:59the African Union agenda (Agenda
00:07:022063). In this perspective, the government
00:07:06intends to prioritize interventions likely to produce
00:07:09the others. Indicative that the transformation of our
00:07:13economy, competitiveness, employment, the development of human capital,
00:07:17infrastructure, the valorization of our natural resources in
00:07:21order to improve the living
00:07:23populations. A presentation was made of the main axes
00:07:27of the future national development plan, the progress made in the
00:07:31process of its elaboration, the major challenges
00:07:34to be overcome and the role of technical and financial
00:07:38partners. Its was followed by discussions
00:07:42allowing technical and financial partners to formulate
00:07:46recommendations concerning the implementation of
00:07:49structural transformation reforms, the establishment
00:07:53of implementation and monitoring structures for the
00:07:55NDP and the presidential
00:07:59There were convergences of views on
00:08:02all the priorities that must be implemented.
00:08:06And we have reaffirmed to the
00:08:10Minister our alliance with this new
00:08:14planning framework which is being finalized so that it becomes
00:08:18the engine, the common vehicle that guides all of our
00:08:21interventions for the
00:08:25realization of this transformation. At the end of the discussions, Minister Ludovic
00:08:29Ngatse indicated some particularities of the
00:08:32NDP 2027,
00:08:342031. Within the framework of this point, what will change is that we have
00:08:38truly taken into account
00:08:41all the weaknesses that have been mentioned in the framework of the
00:08:44diagnosis of the
00:08:48the implementation of previous plans, namely an insufficient implementation
00:08:52of preliminary reforms, but also the
00:08:55fact that we have always relied on public resources that are not
00:08:59elastic, so within the framework of this plan, the focus will be on
00:09:02improving the business climate, structural reforms to
00:09:06allow the private sector to accompany us in the implementation of
00:09:09structuring projects that allow us to concretize
00:09:13the president's social project and to improve the
00:09:16quality of public services. The recommendations
00:09:19formulated by technical and financial partners will
00:09:23serve to enrich the strategy of the NDP on which
00:09:27experts are currently working. In
00:09:30Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Minister Bruno Jean-Richard Rittoi
00:09:34in charge of energy and hydraulics met with his counterpart Emé Sakome
00:09:38Molendo regarding the Piakatombe project.
00:09:41Report, bati.
00:09:46Hydraulics, on October 9, 2026 in
00:09:49Kinshasa, on a working mission where he held important discussions with his
00:09:53counterpart, the Democratic Republic of Congo,
00:09:57Molendo, Minister of Hydraulic
00:10:00Electricity. The discussions focused on the
00:10:03hydroelectric project, the friendship loop,
00:10:06energy and electrical interconnections. United by history,
00:10:10geography and the sharing of the river,
00:10:13the governments of both countries are committing resources and their common priorities
00:10:16to enhance this exceptional potential and its combined, our
00:10:20efforts converge towards a common
00:10:23goal, the interconnection of our electrical
00:10:27systems, securing energy exchanges and sustainably
00:10:30improving our populations' access to
00:10:33electricity. The signing of the memorandum of understanding relating to the
00:10:37friendship loop project marks today a decisive
00:10:40step forward. It sets the institutional, technical and
00:10:44operational framework necessary to sustainably link
00:10:48Pointe-Noire, Brazzaville, Kinshasa and Inga and strengthen
00:10:52the connectivity of our networks. For Minister
00:10:55Jean-Richard Titoi, this bilateral dynamic aims to formalize
00:10:58electrical interdependence and to pool production capacities
00:11:01between the two banks of the river in order to accelerate
00:11:05sub-regional integration. We have the responsibility, the
00:11:09Minister and I, to concretely translate the
00:11:13will of the two heads of state of the two countries to build an energy bridge between the
00:11:17two countries, based on the extraordinary potential that is here on the
00:11:20energy level, which is a little less here in Congo, but
00:11:23uh the... and well, it will certainly be even stronger and
00:11:27more powerful for the benefit of our populations and also
00:11:31to support the desire for economic development and
00:11:35growth that marks our two heads of state and our two
00:11:38countries, if only concerning the mining
00:11:41project on both sides of
00:11:44the two borders in addition to the rest of the industry which
00:11:48today is thirsty for an
00:11:51extraordinary appetite for energy and we must...
00:11:55because that is what will transform us beyond that, the technical evaluation
00:11:59of transport infrastructure is accelerating on the ground,
00:12:02extended by the inspection mission carried out by Brazzaville Pointe-Noire with
00:12:06a view to doubling the lines, this protocol
00:12:11energy a driver of economic development and improvement of
00:12:14the living conditions of the populations, in order
00:12:17to examine the situation related to the increase in butane gas prices, Minister
00:12:21Jacqueline Lidia Mikolo in charge of trade, supplies and
00:12:25consumption discussed with the distributors of this product and consumer representatives
00:12:29in order to find a concerted solution regarding respect for gas
00:12:32prices. Report by Noémi
00:12:34Kocott.
00:12:36Concerned about preserving the balance of the national butane gas market,
00:12:40Jacqueline Ludia Mikolo, Minister of
00:12:44Zelikaf, initiated consultations with the various
00:12:47actors in the sector. In Côte, the entry price for
00:12:51distribution goes from 200 to 300 francs per kilogram, which is
00:12:54a 50% increase, while the retail price to
00:12:58consumers is set at 512 per
00:13:01kilogram, which is currently causing problems with our consumers, the
00:13:0412kg cylinder before was at 64, there was a note for that,
00:13:08I even have it on my phone, in December it was during the holidays I bought the gas cylinder for
00:13:121000 francs and also paid the delivery man, that brings us to 1100 francs
00:13:16for a 12 kg cylinder, I find that it's too much, I thought it was only
00:13:20during the holidays, but currently the gas cylinder is still high compared
00:13:23to the price that is circulating. Regarding our, I would say to
00:13:27Mrs. Jacqueline Mikolo, the Minister of
00:13:30Trade, to review this problem, really mom,
00:13:33this problem, we can't do it, it's really very expensive, really I
00:13:37put everything in mom's hands, I know we will have a very good solution soon. The
00:13:41Minister first received the distributors, who
00:13:44explained their difficulties, including supply contracts, costs
00:13:47related to tolls and fuel as well as the charges that weigh
00:13:51on their activities. They also evoked the gaps between the
00:13:55costs incurred and the price structure set in October
00:13:592018. We have noticed since April
00:14:022000 25 because we were indeed the first to
00:14:06conclude with Wingwa, so the price we practice is a price of
00:14:10330, the price you just mentioned, the price is 200
00:14:13francs, Wingwa practices a price of 330 and so there is a
00:14:17surcharge of 130 and I think that
00:14:20some officials here know the problem very well because we had several discussions in
00:14:24January 2020. 6 resisting because
00:14:27well, somewhere the population also needs to be satisfied
00:14:30and so has made all possible efforts with the authorities, so we expect
00:14:34the authorities to find a solution to this. Today there
00:14:37is a new situation, these are the tolls in the existing
00:14:41or in force price structure, the toll booths are not at all
00:14:44mentioned and these tolls are borne exclusively by the
00:14:48operating companies. The minister then met
00:14:52with the producers, notably a delegation from the company
00:15:02on the supply of raw materials and price control.
00:15:05The allocation is based
00:15:08on an idea of equipment
00:15:11installation and the machines, so
00:15:15total investment only that the
00:15:18depudel units make
00:15:20121,376,000
00:15:24for the rest. The total taxes and other
00:15:27levies are 67.40
00:15:31CFA francs per kilocalorie, here there
00:15:34are gas tastes r. That
00:15:38is 231 CFA francs per kilogram
00:15:41and then there are operating costs, we estimated 2%
00:15:44which is 6.60
00:15:47francs per kilo, so in the end we found
00:15:51the available profit of the
00:15:54company is 25 x
00:15:57cg. At the end of these meetings,
00:16:01Mikololo stressed the need to re-examine the agreements concluded between
00:16:05the government and operators as well as the price-setting mechanisms
00:16:08in order to protect the interests of all actors, from
00:16:12producer to consumer. We cannot
00:16:15sell at prices that are not
00:16:18approved. While waiting for a new price structure,
00:16:21the services of the Ministry of Commerce
00:16:24will ensure that either the circular or
00:16:28the decree of 2018 is in force. And
00:16:31those who violate it will deal with the authorized
00:16:34services. In the same way, while discussing. We don't
00:16:38just have the stick, we especially have the carrot, a product like
00:16:42gas, you know, is a very
00:16:45sensitive product, I don't want to be subjected to
00:16:48fluctuations without the public services, the government and therefore the Ministry of
00:16:52Commerce seizing it, but we will continue the discussion
00:16:56so that we arrive at a price structure, certainly in a
00:16:59collegial manner at the government level, we are trying to find the right balance, there
00:17:03is a draft decree in
00:17:06circulation. on which we are working, but before the
00:17:09government makes its final decision, we wanted
00:17:12to have this exchange with you, on
00:17:16the ground, obviously since it is our common concern not
00:17:20to weigh down households further, there will be an
00:17:23intensification of controls, so the
00:17:26brigades for the repression of fraud in the districts of Brazzaville, Pointe-
00:17:30Noire and the interior of the country will ensure that the price of
00:17:33gas takes into account the regulatory texts. We will also...
00:17:37work to ensure that there are rigorous
00:17:41and even vigorous sanctions against those who violate,
00:17:44these are instructions that will be given in writing very soon to the
00:17:48authorized services at the Ministry of Commerce, we will
00:17:51also obviously draw consumers' attention
00:17:54to vigilance. The problems are known and
00:17:57we will also be the spokespersons
00:18:01for the concerns that are others in terms of tolls, in
00:18:04terms of... of the extra cost related to the
00:18:08entry into distribution. The minister also recalled that until further
00:18:11notice, the applicable prices remain those set by the
00:18:14October 2018 decree. She called for compliance with the
00:18:18regulations in force to avoid any
00:18:22disruption. I wanted to mention earlier that in the
00:18:26department of Alikuala, the populations freely go about their activities due
00:18:29to the flooding. A delegation led by the Minister of State Control
00:18:33of Public Service Quality and the Fight Against Anti-Values, Leonard
00:18:37and Songongo went there to assess the extent of the damage
00:18:40in Contaire and Ritierbanbê in the
00:18:43Pen district, the rising waters command the daily lives of
00:18:46the inhabitants, the progression of the water complicates the movements of
00:18:49the populations, houses in the water, many families have been
00:18:53living there for about 1 month, more than 10,000 inhabitants are affected
00:18:56by this phenomenon, the bet finds refuge on the paved road, life
00:19:00is difficult for us here, you have noticed that we are starting
00:19:04to abandon our homes, post in 2 days there... we will be settled on the
00:19:08asphalt because even in our houses there is water below and
00:19:12you are above, so and we have
00:19:15small children, all that is the field visit carried out by the
00:19:19Minister of State Control of Public Service Quality and the Fight
00:19:22Against Anti-Values Leonard Noël and Songongo allowed him to measure
00:19:26the extent of the disaster. From administrative structures to the integrated
00:19:30health center of Montoko, passing by the presidential palace,
00:19:33no infrastructure is spared. The prefect of
00:19:36Likuala issues a distress call while
00:19:40Minister Leonard Noëngo
00:19:43is on a working visit in the
00:19:47Alikuala department, more precisely in the capital city
00:19:50Ifundo, he thought that he
00:19:54could not leave for
00:19:56Brazzaville without seeing
00:19:59with his own eyes,
00:20:03the cyclical phenomenon, the department of Alikula impacted
00:20:06by... the climate, more
00:20:10southern Cameroonian and southern Central African, and so it
00:20:14rains abundantly and we notice
00:20:16that
00:20:18the populations are losing almost everything, I believe
00:20:21that the government of the republic will not
00:20:24give up, will not give in to come to
00:20:27the rescue of the populations.
00:20:30So far, no deaths or cases of illness have been
00:20:33reported, but families fear the resurgence of waterborne diseases
00:20:37such as... diarrhea and cholera. Let's change
00:20:40chapter to talk about this phenomenon that is known to all, some babies present
00:20:44at birth with respiratory difficulties linked notably to the aspiration of
00:20:47amniotic fluid. What are the main causes of this
00:20:51aspiration and how do doctors care for children who aspirate this
00:20:54fluid? So many questions that find their answers in this report signed
00:20:58Magalimond.
00:21:01Amniotic fluid, a veritable cocoon in which the
00:21:05fetus lives for 9 months, is essential for its life before
00:21:11delivery, this same fluid can become a threat
00:21:14when it is aspirated by the newborn and reaches its respiratory
00:21:18tract. The city, some women
00:21:21interviewed know this phenomenon for having experienced
00:21:25it or having been a witness to it. Yes, my
00:21:28child faced this problem because I gave birth to
00:21:31twins by C-section, the first one presented no
00:21:35risk, but the second one, due to the delay, had
00:21:38aspirated this fluid. We took care of him
00:21:41quickly for a whole day, then we were
00:21:45asked to go home since he no longer presented any risks.
00:21:48He is very important. To this day, for
00:21:52me, this fluid is a danger for the baby, because if the baby
00:21:56inhales this fluid, it can expose him to several
00:21:59complications that can lead to death.
00:22:03To better understand this phenomenon, we went to a health
00:22:07center. According to the midwife we met,
00:22:10aspiration of amniotic fluid by the newborn can be linked
00:22:14to certain complications occurring during
00:22:17delivery. Poor pushing by the mother,
00:22:21fatigue or even insufficient exclusive
00:22:24errors can favor these complications.
00:22:27During childbirth, the baby inhales amniotic
00:22:30fluid, precisely, the mother delays in
00:22:34the last stage, the baby being in the
00:22:38vaginal canal, cannot
00:22:41scream because he wants to clear. This
00:22:44aspiration can lead to several consequences on the health of the
00:22:48newborn, neonatal infections and
00:22:51respiratory, neurological or
00:22:55cardiac complications. In the most serious cases, the vital
00:22:58prognosis can be compromised if treatment
00:23:01is not immediate. When the baby is born
00:23:05without apparent signs of life, neonatal
00:23:08resuscitation must be performed as
00:23:11an emergency. The consequences that can occur are
00:23:15non-fatal infections.
00:23:17If the baby there who has a year. who does not
00:23:21react immediately if he is born in a state of
00:23:24death, resuscitation must be done within the first five
00:23:27to react. immediately, now if
00:23:31resuscitation is delayed in relation to his inhalation, he
00:23:34doesn't react and everything, we see in neonatology the
00:23:37consequences are, he has babies like
00:23:40that, a neuropathic delay, because
00:23:44the neurons precisely
00:23:46destroy themselves, death can occur later.
00:23:50by taking care, when the
00:23:52antioti liquid comes out, when it comes out,
00:23:56it doesn't cry immediately, we have the
00:23:58pear that allows us immediately
00:24:01to clear
00:24:03the respiratory tract,
00:24:06we go to the mouth, we aspirate with the pepper or the
00:24:10penguin, we desoil the baby with the
00:24:13pepper, and if we notice that the
00:24:17cry doesn't come, the baby reacts. Then
00:24:21we go with the blood, normally we warm
00:24:24the baby as soon as he cries, the care is done in
00:24:28minutes, we midwives
00:24:32stop at clearing
00:24:35the respiratory tract
00:24:38to limit the risks. Health professionals recommend
00:24:42to pregnant women regular prenatal follow-up and
00:24:45increased vigilance from the time of water breaking to allow
00:24:49for rapid care and to avoid complications. Let's stay
00:24:53with our reporter Magali Ondon, who this time tells us about the second
00:24:57conference of the social rights organizing committee held last Saturday at the congress panel
00:25:00on the theme of fighting violence against women in Congo and in the world.
00:25:04Follow: A minute of
00:25:07silence was observed
00:25:09in memory of all women victims of violence.
00:25:13Violence that in reality remains a major concern
00:25:17throughout the world. An opportunity for the
00:25:20representative of the codes of the Democratic
00:25:24Republic of Congo to insist on the need
00:25:27to break the silence around these violences. One of the
00:25:31highlights of this meeting was the simulation of the trial
00:25:34showing the functioning of justice in the face of violence against
00:25:38women and raising public awareness of legal
00:25:41procedures. We remind you that the courtroom is a place of
00:25:44justice that requires everyone to behave
00:25:48responsibly and respectfully.
00:25:59I have been working in the field for 5 years now. Traumatic.
00:26:03Have you already served in the military? No, madam, have you ever been
00:26:07prosecuted? No, this is the first time I've been. I don't like conflict
00:26:10and I'm a shy person, even though
00:26:13the gentleman denied his presence at the scene at the time of the drama, his own
00:26:17direct niece affirmed to have seen
00:26:20him deliver the fatal blows. Following these
00:26:23facts, he was placed in custody and
00:26:26compared today before the august court to answer to the following
00:26:29charges: domestic
00:26:32violence resulting in death without intent to cause it, facts provided
00:26:36for and punished by law number 19 series 2022 of
00:26:39May 4, 2022 concerning the fight against violence against women in the
00:26:43Republic of Congo, particularly in its articles 3, 4, 5, and
00:26:478. Guilty.
00:26:50Upon calling the tribunal, this meeting allowed the
00:26:54president of the codes to highlight the scope of the fight
00:26:58against violence against women and the popularization of the law
00:27:01guaranteeing the protection of women's
00:27:05rights. We had the initiative to organize this large conference
00:27:08because I myself being a victim, I wanted to break the
00:27:11silence, our goal is to raise public awareness so that the number of perpetrators
00:27:15can decrease and also with the perspective of promoting the law and the
00:27:19law of May 2022 for the promulgation of the fight against violence against
00:27:22women in the Republic of Congo. During this conference, the
00:27:26participants also had the right to panels around
00:27:29several sub-themes and demonstrations.
