00:05:02p.m.

00:06:54You are on Telekongo. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to this
00:06:5811 p.m. news edition. I am pleased to present it to you, and together
00:07:01we share the news. In the summary,
00:07:05Congolese diplomacy strengthens its ties with its African
00:07:09partners. That's the main headline. Now, this
00:07:12news begins with a dark page. It was
00:07:16this Monday, October 12, 2026, in the morning,
00:07:19that Patriarch Jean-Baptiste Yannittiyo,
00:07:23former president of the council of dignitaries of Bowali,
00:07:28court and president of the traditional court
00:07:31of Monvou, who passed away on September 26, was buried.
00:07:35His funeral took
00:07:38place in the presence of Prime Minister Anatole Kolini Makoso,
00:07:42as well as numerous administrative and political
00:07:45authorities and several executives from the departments
00:07:49of Pointe-Noire and Kouilou.
00:07:52From Duclair Dungier,
00:07:55follow this.
00:07:58In the Kingdom of Luango, some men are more than history, they are its
00:08:02guardians. Bowali, historical heart and capital of the
00:08:05kingdom, its dignitaries watch over traditions, rituals, and the transmission
00:08:09of ancestral power. It is among them that Patriarch
00:08:13Jean-Baptiste Yoani Tati Yoyo, who passed away on September
00:08:1626, was chosen. Custodians
00:08:19of a secular heritage, the dignitaries of Bowali play an essential role in the
00:08:23designation of the sovereign, chosen from among the two royal clans
00:08:26of Qatar. They also contribute to the preservation of peace
00:08:30and social cohesion. It was to one of these
00:08:33guardians of tradition that the Prime Minister, Head of Government
00:08:36Anatole Coliné Makoso came to pay tribute. Present at the
00:08:40last wake alongside the 2nd Vice-President of the National Assembly
00:08:44and several authorities from Pointe-Noire and
00:08:47Kouilou, accompanied by his wife, the Prime Minister renewed his
00:08:50presence on Monday, October 12, the day of the funeral, by laying
00:08:54a wreath of flowers. Born on June 24,
00:08:571942, in Tisanga in the current district of Inda, Jean-Baptiste
00:09:01Yoani Tati Yoyo was an accountant by training. After
00:09:05a career at the Central Bank, at BNTC, then at the former
00:09:08SNE where he completed his professional career as chief accountant
00:09:12in 1998, he also put his experience
00:09:15at the service of the High Court and the Court of Appeal of Pointe-Noire.
00:09:19But beyond his professional career, it is above all the man
00:09:23of conciliatory and wise dialogue that those who knew him remember.
00:09:27Jean-Baptiste Johannes Tatijoyo thus leaves
00:09:30us the image of a man of multiple
00:09:34dimensions, a rigorous man,
00:09:38the state, a neighborhood chief, a dignitary,
00:09:43a sage, a mediator, a man of peace,
00:09:46a father and head of a family, deeply
00:09:49attached to his own. For Alexis Cayabalo, dignitary of
00:09:53Bowali, in charge of tradition, the passing of the patriarch leaves a huge
00:09:56void, but his legacy remains, a great dignitary
00:10:00of the kingdom of Longango, whose eyes and
00:10:03customs he mastered. He remained for a long time at the head of the council
00:10:07of dignitaries of Bowali,
00:10:11and consecrated His Majesty.
00:10:19He is also a wise member of the republic.
00:10:22His rigor, his courage, his frankness
00:10:26were the striking features of his being
00:10:30and his actions, at the risk of
00:10:33appearing to be a stumbling block for
00:10:36some. Then came the time for the last journey, to the
00:10:40rhythm of the rites and traditions of the Vili people. The patriarch's
00:10:43remains are taken to the family cemetery of Diosso. Prime Minister
00:10:47Anatole Coliné Makoso accompanies him to his final resting place. A chapter
00:10:51closes for the family and for the kingdom of Luango, but in the memory of...
00:11:16The head of the Congolese government was not indifferent to the
00:11:20passing of Patriarch Jean-Baptiste
00:11:24Johannis Tati Yoyo, and the Prime Minister
00:11:27paid tribute to the memory of the
00:11:30deceased, who was a great man of
00:11:33traditions whose immense qualities and ancestral
00:11:37commitment deeply marked the Kingdom of
00:11:41Luango, once again finding
00:11:43Duclair. It's a big
00:11:46tree falling in the Mayombe forest and in
00:11:50the ecosystem of Kouilou and the city of Pointe-Noire. It's a big
00:11:53baobab, and with what it represents as a symbol,
00:11:57a baobab, a framework for reconciliation,
00:12:00unity, fraternity, solidarity,
00:12:03gathering, because around the old Oyo, it brought
00:12:06together many people, many communities, many
00:12:10families who came to consult him precisely, to try to
00:12:13settle disputes that arose in our families. Don't forget that he was
00:12:17a traditional judge, and his priesthood was that of reconciliation,
00:12:21dialogue between families,
00:12:24unity, concord, trying to patch things up
00:12:27when the family was fragmented. And that
00:12:31is also what he exercised at the local
00:12:34level. Whenever the community faced
00:12:38difficulties, it was around him that consensus was sought.
00:12:41consensus.
00:12:45Let's continue this news in a completely
00:12:48different register,
00:12:52or in a completely different court, I should say, where the Minister of
00:12:56Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Congo,
00:12:59Constance Serge Munda, with his Senegalese and Tunisian counterparts,
00:13:03focused on the consolidation of bilateral relations, the revitalization
00:13:06of cooperation, and the prospects of
00:13:10South-South partnership, and this precisely with the aim
00:13:13of strengthening its diplomatic ties with its African
00:13:17partners. A report by
00:13:20Parold Agnolo.
00:13:23The Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs, Constance Serge
00:13:26Bunda, exchanged with his Senegalese counterpart, Check
00:13:30Niong, on the occasion of their first meeting.
00:13:33The exchanges highlighted the depth of the ties between
00:13:37Brazzaville and Dakar, with the desire to revitalize their
00:13:40relationship through joint commissions, in line
00:13:44with the excellent relations between Presidents Denis
00:13:47Sassou Nguesso and Bassirou Diomaye Faye. The next
00:13:51Francophonie summit in Cambodia and the stakes of
00:13:54the African continental shelf were also discussed.
00:13:58Before setting foot in Libya and continuing his diplomatic
00:14:01journey, the Congolese Minister of Foreign Affairs,
00:14:04Constance Serge Bunda, during a transit in Tunis,
00:14:07exchanged with the Tunisian Secretary of State for Foreign
00:14:11Affairs, an opportunity to reaffirm the historical
00:14:14friendship, notably illustrated by Tunisia's support for the
00:14:18Congo's accession to the United Nations in
00:14:211960. The relationship between the two countries
00:14:25is constant. Two meetings that reflect Congo's ambition
00:14:29to consolidate its African partnerships and promote
00:14:32a diplomacy of mutually beneficial dialogue.
00:14:36Let's continue this news.
00:14:38It was on the morning of October 12,
00:14:422026, that the Embassy of the People's Republic of China
00:14:45and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Humanitarian Action
00:14:48proceeded to sign a
00:14:52memorandum of understanding, accompanied by a humanitarian
00:14:55grant, in response to the consequences of the floods that
00:14:59hit Brazzaville on June 14,
00:15:022024.
00:15:07Larson Mabona and Espagnol
00:15:10Motondo. This memorandum of understanding marks a
00:15:13crucial step for Congo. It is a commitment from the Chinese
00:15:16government to support the Congolese government in taking care of the victims
00:15:20of the June 14, 2024, floods, in response to the
00:15:23appeal launched by Congo and carried out on the Congolese
00:15:27side by the Secretary General of Foreign Affairs and on the Chinese side by
00:15:30the Chinese Ambassador to Congo, Ann King, in the presence of the Minister
00:15:34of Social and Unitary Affairs, Marie France.
00:15:37Congo, this donation of 2 million dollars, or more than 1 billion
00:15:41170 million CFA francs, supports the Ministry of Social
00:15:44Affairs and Humanitarian Action in taking care of vulnerable
00:15:47people. The government launched an appeal
00:15:51for solidarity
00:15:55at international and national levels, and China,
00:15:58sensitive to this appeal,
00:16:01granted financial
00:16:04assistance of 2,000
00:16:07US dollars for the affected
00:16:10populations and also to support
00:16:14the reconstruction efforts of the Congolese authorities.
00:16:18Ann King, Chinese Ambassador to Congo, explains the reasons for this humanitarian
00:16:21assistance, which coincides with the International Day for Disaster Risk
00:16:25Reduction celebrated on October 13 each year. She also mentions the
00:16:29prospects for cooperation with the
00:16:32Humanitarian Action. There are several reasons for China's humanitarian
00:16:36aid to Congo. Firstly, tomorrow,
00:16:39October 13, will be the 37th International
00:16:43Day for Disaster Risk Reduction of the United Nations.
00:16:46Faced with natural disasters, all humanity must unite and
00:16:49act together. Secondly, this year marks the
00:16:525th anniversary of
00:16:55Initiative put forward by President Xi Jinping. Development is an
00:16:59eternal theme for humanity, which plays an essential
00:17:02role in the happiness of peoples. This
00:17:05assistance from the Chinese government
00:17:08is part of the continuity of Sino-Congolese cooperation
00:17:12marked by several actions of solidarity and support for
00:17:15the benefit of Congo. Through this new gesture, the People's
00:17:19Republic of China reaffirms its commitment to the Congolese
00:17:22people, especially in difficult times. Beyond the response to
00:17:25humanitarian emergencies, this partnership reflects the will of the
00:17:29two countries, who share the common destiny of Focac, to strengthen
00:17:32their ties of friendship and cooperation, with the common
00:17:36ambition to improve the living conditions of populations, to
00:17:39support the efforts of the Congolese government in favor of the most
00:17:43vulnerable. Let's change chapters and this time talk
00:17:46about the security aspect. Concluding
00:17:49his contact and assessment tour in the gendarmerie
00:17:53regions of the southern part of the country, specifically
00:17:57in the Kouilou and Pointe-Noire departments, the commander of the
00:18:01national gendarmerie, Brigadier General
00:18:04Jildas Olangé, called on the gendarmes to be disciplined,
00:18:08to respect ethics, loyalty to the institutions of the
00:18:11republic. Details in this report by Hulrich
00:18:15Mabica. It was with a guard of honor
00:18:19set up by the commander of Military Defense Zone N°1
00:18:23that Brigadier General Jedas Olangue was
00:18:26received at the Mango
00:18:30of the Kouilou gendarmerie region, the General
00:18:32met with the gendarmes and
00:18:36visited all the structures to assess the situation
00:18:39in the Pointe-Noire gendarmerie region. It was in
00:18:42Chamandasi that the commander of the national gendarmerie
00:18:46first set foot in this district,
00:18:48which shares a border with the Cabinda enclave.
00:18:52The commander of the national gendarmerie met
00:18:56with the sub-prefect in Pointe-Noire and in Kouilou.
00:18:59The security situation is generally calm. The highlight
00:19:02of this marathon-like visit was
00:19:06his visit to the Mobile Gendarmerie Training
00:19:10and Coaching Center in Fouta village. Around the focus
00:19:13of this center, which has already trained two batches, General
00:19:16Olangé had the same message as he did everywhere
00:19:20else he went. He called on the gendarmes,
00:19:24among other things, to take responsibility, each
00:19:28at his level, in the accomplishment of service
00:19:31missions related to the search for
00:19:34and transmission of information to the authorities, to the
00:19:38operational commitment of units, to ethics, to
00:19:44of the gendarmerie, oriented towards the security of people and their
00:19:48property, as well as border security. We received
00:19:52the commander of the national gendarmerie yesterday
00:19:55in the gendarmerie region of Kouilou, and this morning
00:19:58we received him in the gendarmerie region of Pointe-Noire.
00:20:01He arrived with several objectives, the first
00:20:05of which was to get to know the area,
00:20:08to understand our difficulties, and to see what could be
00:20:11resolved immediately. Secondly, he
00:20:14came to convey his message, his vision of what the gendarmerie
00:20:18should be, and his vision of how gendarmes should
00:20:22behave. He insisted on the fact that we must
00:20:25guarantee security for all
00:20:28citizens, for the entire population, and when we speak of the entire
00:20:32population, we mean the general population, but also politicians
00:20:35and decision-makers. His follow-up visit to the sites.
00:20:39This is where the national gendarmerie concluded
00:20:43its visit to the southern part of the country
00:20:46with honors befitting its rank.
00:20:51Scheduled for February to April, the
00:20:54Infondo Beach Festival is already showing its colors
00:20:57after its previous edition. This second
00:21:01part aims to mobilize the population around the
00:21:06valorization of local cultural heritage.
00:21:10The objective is to present the project and request
00:21:13its support and, of course, its patronage to give this
00:21:17socio-cultural event another
00:21:21another dimension, pardon, I was going
00:21:26of the Infondo Beach association, which
00:21:30is organizing this event, led by its
00:21:34president Tombolo, was received in
00:21:37audience this morning by Linda Essa,
00:21:41Director General of the Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza
00:21:44Memorial. The report by Delvel Delisma Passi
00:21:48and Guestton Kokolo follows.
00:21:52Infondo Beach, a major cultural
00:21:56department. This is the ambition of the eponymous association,
00:21:59which is already preparing the 2nd edition of its festival, scheduled for February
00:22:03to April 2027 in Infondo in the Likouala department.
00:22:07Given the scale of the project, its initiators came to present it to Benda
00:22:10Ayessa, Director General of the Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza
00:22:14Memorial, and seek her patronage.
00:22:17A request that received a favorable response, as it aligns
00:22:20with the ambitions of this project. Bilinda agreed to be the
00:22:24godmother,
00:22:27of the association, is justified by the constant commitment of the head of the Pierre
00:22:30Savorgnan de Brazza Memorial. The 2nd edition is scheduled for the year
00:22:342027, the months of February,
00:22:38March, and April during the dry season, because the
00:22:42site will be built on the sandbanks. We will build
00:22:44wooden stands, performance stages
00:22:48to serve as platforms for artists and all participants.
00:22:52Corridor 13, through which we pass, we thank the President of the
00:22:55Republic, the tireless builder. This road
00:22:59is highly anticipated, and through this bathing
00:23:02and tourist activity, this road will boost the
00:23:08department. Beyond the festivities, this second edition
00:23:12will give an important place to the training and empowerment
00:23:15of local populations, an approach that aims to make
00:23:19the festival a real lever of economic opportunities,
00:23:22especially for young people and vulnerable people. Another ambition of the
00:23:26Infondoub Festival is to promote
00:23:30of Likouala: traditional instruments, dance, music,
00:23:34traditional wrestling, pirogue racing, and other nautical
00:23:37activities should punctuate these three months of festivities. It is
00:23:41notably about highlighting an identity,
00:23:47We will rediscover
00:23:50instruments, for example, that we are gradually
00:23:53abandoning. We have an emblematic
00:23:57instrument called the zimbe,
00:24:00for example, many instruments, and raffia, raffia,
00:24:04which is
00:24:07Likouala that today
00:24:10tends to disappear and is unfortunately
00:24:14also being copied with fabrications that are
00:24:18no longer really identical to the original. So these are specificities that we
00:24:22want to highlight. For example, the race after,
00:24:25we are a river people.
00:24:29We live by the water and sometimes even with our feet in the water.
00:24:32Navigability is part of our daily
00:24:35life. We want to highlight
00:24:38this capacity by organizing
00:24:42a pirogue race.
00:24:45It is imperative that young people
00:24:48today and tomorrow never forget
00:24:52where we come from and what is part of our heritage,
00:24:55of our memory. Through this initiative, the association
00:24:59infobit has also anticipated the fallout from corridor
00:25:0213, which should strengthen the opening up of Alikouala and
00:25:06boost economic and tourist exchanges. The
00:25:09training of young people, the valorization of local resources and the transmission of
00:25:13heritage thus appear as the main pillars of this 2nd edition of the
00:25:17info beach festival which
00:25:21Alikouala and a space for promoting local
00:25:24development.
