Detecting language using up to the first 30 seconds. Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: French [00:00.000 --> 00:06.000] I'm really happy to see that when we were passing by trains, there was a lot of traffic jams. [00:06.000 --> 00:11.000] Now that there is a lot of traffic, people can get around in peace. [00:11.000 --> 00:14.000] If you have a way, you can take a way to Brasaville. [00:14.000 --> 00:16.000] It's a good thing. [00:16.000 --> 00:22.000] Because in the enclave villages, people have difficulties. [00:22.000 --> 00:26.000] It was difficult to come and sell here in Pointe-Nord. [00:26.000 --> 00:33.000] But when there is a way, there is the facility to enter the merchandise, either in Pointe-Nord or in Brasaville. [00:33.000 --> 00:35.000] It's a good thing for the roads. [00:35.000 --> 00:37.000] We need roads in Congo, that's it. [00:37.000 --> 00:41.000] In Njila, there is a way to Njila. [00:41.000 --> 00:46.000] You have to go to Pointe-Nord and Brasaville. [00:46.000 --> 00:58.000] It's a good thing for the roads. In Njila, there is a way to Njila. [00:58.000 --> 01:01.000] It's a good thing for the roads. [01:01.000 --> 01:09.000] If you have a way, you can go to Pointe-Nord and Brasaville. [01:09.000 --> 01:16.000] It's a good thing for the roads. [01:16.000 --> 01:23.000] It's a good thing for the roads. [01:23.000 --> 01:28.000] It's a good thing for the roads. [01:28.000 --> 01:33.000] A place, for example, was debated by the drivers, the oba vérité. [01:33.000 --> 01:36.000] Or literally, the title of the truth. [01:36.000 --> 01:44.000] The oba vérité, the expression was born from the difficulties encountered by motorists to climb this mountain. [01:44.000 --> 01:49.000] It was necessary to tell the truth, if your permit was a true or a false one. [01:49.000 --> 01:51.000] Follow my look. [01:51.000 --> 01:59.000] No damaged vehicles, no sick people left without assistance, no damaged merchandise. [01:59.000 --> 02:09.000] The wisdom commanded the drivers to slow down here, to stop there, and sometimes to go down to tighten the bolts, adjust the belts. [02:09.000 --> 02:20.000] It was necessary to be healed with hard blows to drive all night, drive all day, take the steering wheel all night and all day again. [02:20.000 --> 02:24.000] We traveled in really impossible conditions to believe. [02:24.000 --> 02:30.000] Before, we could go to Pointe-Nord, Douzis, and it could take us at least 7 hours. [02:30.000 --> 02:35.000] Now, even if it rains, there are really no more problems. [02:35.000 --> 02:38.000] I am a driver, I made this route from Douzis to Pointe-Nord. [02:38.000 --> 02:41.000] The route is very good, except that we can't see the drivers. [02:41.000 --> 02:50.000] In conditions, you have to respect the signs a little so that you do your transport very well from departure to destination. [02:50.000 --> 02:54.000] There are customers who are in a hurry, you have to drive them a little faster. [02:54.000 --> 02:56.000] There are people who say, no, no, go slowly, slowly. [02:56.000 --> 03:00.000] Otherwise, maximum, if you respect everything, it's three hours of taxi time. [03:00.000 --> 03:03.000] But if you don't respect it, you drive a little faster, you can do two hours and a few. [03:03.000 --> 03:07.000] I have the ambition to do only two laps because I'm not in a hurry for the car. [03:07.000 --> 03:09.000] You have to try to keep the material for tomorrow. [03:09.000 --> 03:11.000] You do the return and back? [03:11.000 --> 03:13.000] I do the return and back in one day. [03:13.000 --> 03:19.000] I can also sometimes do three laps, but except that I don't want to do that to keep the material. [03:19.000 --> 03:21.000] The route is very well done. [03:21.000 --> 03:22.000] Very well done. [03:22.000 --> 03:25.000] We thank His Excellency Denis Assungue for what he thought of us. [03:25.000 --> 03:32.000] To make this beautiful route for us, which will maybe be done at least 20 years later. [03:32.000 --> 03:38.000] But except that what I want to ask the political authorities and those who have the right to vote, [03:38.000 --> 03:43.000] that after that, for work, that they leave a maintenance service. [03:43.000 --> 03:47.000] That's what will make the road can take a lot of time. [03:47.000 --> 03:49.000] Without maintenance, we didn't have to collect anything. [03:49.000 --> 03:53.000] I make the route of Olysie-Pointe-Noire. [03:53.000 --> 03:59.000] I leave, I do less than three hours of time, three hours and thirty minutes of walking from Olysie-Pointe-Noire. [03:59.000 --> 04:02.000] I transport the passenger in my RAV4. [04:02.000 --> 04:06.000] The route is very good, it is well done. [04:06.000 --> 04:10.000] It's been six years since I've been on the road, [04:10.000 --> 04:13.000] when the road wasn't good yet. [04:13.000 --> 04:16.000] I still have the experience of the road. [04:16.000 --> 04:20.000] What I really appreciate a lot is that the road is well done. [04:20.000 --> 04:24.000] I just have to draw attention to my colleagues drivers. [04:24.000 --> 04:27.000] It's to drive slowly. [04:27.000 --> 04:34.000] I already make a long distance, Kishasaba-Kongo, which is 365 km. [04:34.000 --> 04:38.000] I have seen a lot of accidents on the road. [04:38.000 --> 04:42.000] Also, the road is still short from Olysie-Pointe-Noire. [04:42.000 --> 04:46.000] I think it can be more than 160 km. [04:46.000 --> 04:50.000] It's a route that you can run even at 2 o'clock or 1h30. [04:50.000 --> 04:54.000] But you have to respect the equipment, respect the passengers. [04:54.000 --> 04:58.000] So you have to make at least three hours, three hours and thirty minutes to get to Olysie-Pointe-Noire. [04:58.000 --> 05:00.000] We are very happy. [05:00.000 --> 05:03.000] I appreciate the good work of the President of the Republic. [05:03.000 --> 05:07.000] Lately, we drive freely, we drive freely. [05:07.000 --> 05:09.000] There is one thing. [05:09.000 --> 05:13.000] You have to respect the signs, you have to respect the turn. [05:13.000 --> 05:15.000] You can even do twenty years. [05:15.000 --> 05:18.000] And then we ask for entertainment on the road. [05:18.000 --> 05:24.000] The difficulties encountered by the workers and engineers were such that they believed, sometimes wrong or right, [05:24.000 --> 05:28.000] to have seriously discontented the geniuses of the mountain. [05:28.000 --> 05:32.000] On this route, these geniuses would have lined up to remind the first arrivals [05:32.000 --> 05:35.000] that a beast of sand was buying from its owner. [05:35.000 --> 05:41.000] Some loyalty has been accomplished in order to appease the geniuses and ask them for the opportunity to defeat the mayan. [05:41.000 --> 05:45.000] This is all the meaning of the ritual organized on the falls of Muzololo [05:45.000 --> 05:48.000] asking the guardian genius of the terroir to free the places [05:48.000 --> 05:51.000] to allow the Chinese to work without complications [05:51.000 --> 05:57.000] and to end the very intense accidents in the area of ​​the site on the first days of work. [05:57.000 --> 06:00.000] The biggest obstacle was a large, unformed stone [06:00.000 --> 06:05.000] which, cut for the needs of the cause, was immediately recomposed in the morning of the next day, [06:05.000 --> 06:10.000] forcing the workers to repeat the same operation several times and several days, [06:10.000 --> 06:31.000] as Penelope Tissot-Satoale or Sisyphe Escaladon-Saponte. [06:31.000 --> 06:35.000] Researchers and scientists will one day answer these questions. [06:35.000 --> 06:42.000] In the meantime, a certainty nevertheless, is that Denis Sasungueso has just overcome this natural temerity [06:42.000 --> 06:48.000] by building a heavy road in which the legendary and dreadful Mayan mountains cross. [06:48.000 --> 06:51.000] The road, the object of the pride of the Congolese, [06:51.000 --> 06:57.000] is now confidently leading to Brazzaville, which it will only reach after a few years. [06:57.000 --> 07:01.000] Would it be exaggerated to say it? Surely not. [07:01.000 --> 07:06.000] In fact, it is a site that has had a particular proximity with difficulty, [07:06.000 --> 07:10.000] a site on which the body could crack at one time or another. [07:10.000 --> 07:15.000] Thank God, there was a lot of difficulty to overcome, it's true. [07:15.000 --> 07:19.000] But at the same time, we were stimulated by the interest of what we were doing [07:19.000 --> 07:23.000] and by the feeling that what we were doing was of great importance. [07:23.000 --> 07:28.000] To do this, everyone was convinced that we should never be let down by need, [07:28.000 --> 07:32.000] by organizing ourselves well, we can face and resist our burden. [07:32.000 --> 07:38.000] For most of them, the end of work is a moment of great emotion, [07:38.000 --> 07:41.000] just like leaving this site. [07:41.000 --> 07:44.000] It is the end of a moment where they lived together. [07:44.000 --> 07:47.000] They lived such intense moments. [07:47.000 --> 07:51.000] There was so much burden, personal demands, [07:51.000 --> 07:55.000] the deployment of each of your collectives that each one is very marked. [07:55.000 --> 08:00.000] For them, of course, the Mayombe will remain an unforgettable experience. [08:00.000 --> 08:05.000] In the daily work organization, it was necessary to see at what pace the workers were working, [08:05.000 --> 08:11.000] at what speed the engineers were activating, at what speed the controllers were pressing, [08:11.000 --> 08:15.000] at what measure the machines were dealing with monumental tasks, [08:15.000 --> 08:19.000] at what speed the machinists were digging, beeching or rumbling. [08:19.000 --> 08:23.000] With what enthusiasm each body of work provided all the measurement of its talent, [08:23.000 --> 08:27.000] with what ardor, driver of machines and manoeuvres, [08:27.000 --> 08:31.000] master of work and master of work, if he used his relaxation, [08:31.000 --> 08:35.000] day and night, in the torrential rain or in the burning sun, [08:35.000 --> 08:38.000] to undo the trap, to dismantle the goal, [08:38.000 --> 08:42.000] each working as hard as he could to give the best of himself. [08:42.000 --> 08:44.000] It was really necessary to see. [08:44.000 --> 08:48.000] Rather, we must first give thanks to God. [08:48.000 --> 08:53.000] Thank you very much for allowing us to see him realize this great work. [08:53.000 --> 08:59.000] Really, I thank the Lord because there are so many who have dreamed and who have thought of seeing this work. [08:59.000 --> 09:03.000] But today it is I who come to see this work, [09:03.000 --> 09:09.000] thanks to the work carried out by the President of the United States of America. [09:09.000 --> 09:15.000] And who would have thought to defeat this great Mayombe? [09:15.000 --> 09:18.000] I think we can say, mission accomplished, [09:18.000 --> 09:22.000] because we will arrive very soon in Tunisia [09:22.000 --> 09:26.000] and defeat the Mayombe who earn, frankly, [09:26.000 --> 09:29.000] of what to write the history of this country. [09:29.000 --> 09:35.000] And I believe that several heads of state also dreamed of realizing such a great work. [09:35.000 --> 09:42.000] We have until now always thought that it was the way to do what we have here today. [09:42.000 --> 09:46.000] Tomorrow, again, there may be other routes that you will see in this country. [09:46.000 --> 09:51.000] And, of course, there is only a feeling of satisfaction [09:51.000 --> 09:54.000] and to say thank you to the President of the United States of America. [09:54.000 --> 09:57.000] Not simply he arrived, but he realized. [09:57.000 --> 10:03.000] And we, the population, the Congolese, we must give him this tribute. [10:03.000 --> 10:05.000] Thank him for this work. [10:05.000 --> 10:09.000] He has very little thought, but he needs a lot of courage. [10:09.000 --> 10:11.000] And also have a team, of course. [10:11.000 --> 10:16.000] There is not only him, but there is the whole team who supported him, who was behind. [10:16.000 --> 10:21.000] And also our Chinese brothers, who thought they could do it. [10:21.000 --> 10:23.000] Today, I am very happy. [10:23.000 --> 10:26.000] And I am here, the first to be on this path. [10:26.000 --> 10:29.000] Certainly, we will say, but how it was done. [10:29.000 --> 10:33.000] Many, certainly you, especially the young, you will write on this road. [10:33.000 --> 10:37.000] And there, we will have a path, as we see in other countries of Africa, [10:37.000 --> 10:41.000] it's like the South, and we are there. [10:41.000 --> 10:42.000] It's a pride for me. [10:42.000 --> 10:45.000] And now, it's the man who is always at the center of everything. [10:45.000 --> 10:48.000] It will be necessary that the Congolese also get to work. [10:48.000 --> 10:51.000] Do not always wait for the assistant. [10:51.000 --> 10:56.000] Unfortunately, what we see in our country, currently, everything must be free. [10:56.000 --> 10:59.000] But we think that, as we say, there is no job. [10:59.000 --> 11:02.000] There is no job, but it is often that they are always, as we say. [11:02.000 --> 11:04.000] And indeed, it is true. [11:04.000 --> 11:07.000] We are on the road, but it will be necessary that people work. [11:07.000 --> 11:08.000] And the young work. [11:08.000 --> 11:12.000] The president always talks, always and always, about agriculture. [11:12.000 --> 11:16.000] A long time ago, when we came here for some visits, [11:16.000 --> 11:21.000] the population complained about the lack of road. [11:21.000 --> 11:26.000] In the Sahara, or elsewhere, the Bandas, they produced a lot, a lot, a lot of bananas. [11:26.000 --> 11:31.000] But they could not sell their bananas to Pointe-Toire, to Brazzaville or Pointe-Toire. [11:31.000 --> 11:34.000] Now we have the road. [11:34.000 --> 11:37.000] But it will also be necessary that the young get to work. [11:37.000 --> 11:40.000] That we produce more to make these cities live. [11:40.000 --> 11:43.000] We also think that there will be less rural exodus. [11:43.000 --> 11:45.000] There will be young people who will settle down. [11:45.000 --> 11:48.000] Because the road will certainly lead to other jobs. [11:48.000 --> 11:53.000] It will lead to other structures that will make the young stay in their villages. [11:53.000 --> 11:58.000] On the 160 km of road today crowded, the Chinese company [11:58.000 --> 12:01.000] China State Construction Engineering Corporation [12:01.000 --> 12:04.000] has intervened with powerful technical means [12:04.000 --> 12:06.000] to build support walls, [12:06.000 --> 12:08.000] to move millions of cubic meters of land, [12:08.000 --> 12:11.000] to break down rubble and landslides, [12:11.000 --> 12:14.000] to control the fall of trees and soil movements, [12:14.000 --> 12:17.000] to demolish millions of cubic meters of slabs, [12:17.000 --> 12:21.000] to erect bridges, dams and other works of art. [12:21.000 --> 12:26.000] In total, 299 billion, 441 million French CFA [12:26.000 --> 12:29.000] have been engaged only for the first transo. [12:29.000 --> 12:32.000] Yes indeed, the first transo is finished. [12:32.000 --> 12:34.000] So it is already under circulation [12:34.000 --> 12:36.000] since the rubble is finished up to Dolisie. [12:36.000 --> 12:39.000] And for a small year we started the mobilization [12:39.000 --> 12:41.000] on the transo of Dolisie-Brazzaville [12:41.000 --> 12:44.000] and the works started about 6 months ago. [12:44.000 --> 12:48.000] I am Edith Prarios, I am the water chief [12:48.000 --> 12:53.000] of the control mission of the works between Pointe-Toire and Malélé. [12:53.000 --> 12:56.000] So the transo is over 54 km, [12:56.000 --> 12:58.000] plus another 1,300 meters on the RN6 [12:58.000 --> 13:00.000] to make the other weighing post. [13:00.000 --> 13:05.000] We are here on the weighing post. [13:05.000 --> 13:09.000] So the post is composed of 8 ways. [13:09.000 --> 13:12.000] 4 ways in one direction, 4 ways in the other. [13:12.000 --> 13:16.000] One way at the end for the heavy weights, [13:16.000 --> 13:19.000] which is more than 4.5 meters wide [13:19.000 --> 13:25.000] to take into account the size of the heavy weights, [13:25.000 --> 13:29.000] plus 3 wires of 3 meters for light vehicles. [13:29.000 --> 13:32.000] Each post is semi-automated, [13:32.000 --> 13:35.000] that is to say that the barrier is automatic. [13:35.000 --> 13:41.000] The height under the pavilion is about 6 meters, [13:41.000 --> 13:46.000] with the administrative building, [13:46.000 --> 13:49.000] a pump building with the water tank, [13:49.000 --> 13:51.000] there will be a fire system [13:51.000 --> 13:54.000] plus the water supply system, public toilets. [13:54.000 --> 13:58.000] Here we have a weighing post for the heavy weights, [13:58.000 --> 14:03.000] with the possible overloads of the heavy weights. [14:03.000 --> 14:05.000] The heavy weights that will be overloaded [14:05.000 --> 14:07.000] will be directed towards the parking lot [14:07.000 --> 14:08.000] to be unloaded. [14:08.000 --> 14:10.000] And I tell you, the electrical installation is done. [14:10.000 --> 14:12.000] At night all the lights work, [14:12.000 --> 14:15.000] the barriers work. [14:15.000 --> 14:18.000] The users of this road, [14:18.000 --> 14:20.000] which did not exist yesterday, [14:20.000 --> 14:22.000] were not used to the parking lot. [14:22.000 --> 14:24.000] This is what bothers me a little [14:24.000 --> 14:26.000] with the installation of this big jewel. [14:26.000 --> 14:29.000] For the moment, [14:29.000 --> 14:33.000] it has never really worked for vehicles. [14:33.000 --> 14:36.000] But I think we will have done all the signalling [14:36.000 --> 14:39.000] so that people get used to it. [14:39.000 --> 14:41.000] So it's true that there will be a little learning phase. [14:41.000 --> 14:43.000] There are already two parking lots that exist, [14:43.000 --> 14:46.000] that understand the system of the barriers [14:46.000 --> 14:50.000] and stop to settle the tax for driving. [14:50.000 --> 14:53.000] For me, there will be no problem. [14:53.000 --> 14:55.000] There will be a little learning, of course, [14:55.000 --> 14:58.000] but it's a phase that will not last very long. [14:58.000 --> 15:00.000] At PK137, near Mvuti, [15:00.000 --> 15:03.000] a 50-meter-long bridge was built [15:03.000 --> 15:05.000] with three crossings. [15:05.000 --> 15:07.000] Mvuti, one of the major towns [15:07.000 --> 15:10.000] crossed by national road number 1, [15:10.000 --> 15:13.000] would take its name from Dvuti, [15:13.000 --> 15:15.000] a very famous tree in the region. [15:15.000 --> 15:17.000] Under this tree, [15:17.000 --> 15:19.000] the negotiations between the colonial explorer [15:19.000 --> 15:21.000] and the Foncier owner, [15:21.000 --> 15:23.000] the old Mandimbu, would take place. [15:23.000 --> 15:25.000] Legend has it that it was a tree [15:25.000 --> 15:27.000] full of mysteries, [15:27.000 --> 15:29.000] which, cut off the day before, [15:29.000 --> 15:31.000] was completely rebuilt the next day. [15:31.000 --> 15:33.000] This is the old Emil Macoso, [15:33.000 --> 15:35.000] originally from Madingokai, [15:35.000 --> 15:37.000] who, responding to the colon, [15:37.000 --> 15:40.000] concluded that the village he visited [15:40.000 --> 15:42.000] was called Mvuti. [15:42.000 --> 15:44.000] Today, the small Mvuti, [15:44.000 --> 15:46.000] yesterday a simple hunting village, [15:46.000 --> 15:48.000] has grown, [15:48.000 --> 15:50.000] becoming a reference station [15:50.000 --> 15:52.000] on the Hongo-Ocean Railway [15:52.000 --> 15:54.000] with its 4,000 inhabitants. [15:54.000 --> 15:56.000] But Mvuti is also now [15:56.000 --> 15:58.000] a passageway to Pointe-Noire-Brasaville. [15:58.000 --> 16:00.000] Here, the old building, [16:00.000 --> 16:02.000] which houses the administrative services [16:02.000 --> 16:04.000] of the district, has been demolished. [16:04.000 --> 16:06.000] Instead, the president [16:06.000 --> 16:08.000] and the public have built [16:08.000 --> 16:10.000] a new sub-profecture seat. [16:10.000 --> 16:12.000] There is also social, [16:12.000 --> 16:14.000] as you said, [16:14.000 --> 16:16.000] for the construction of schools, [16:16.000 --> 16:18.000] integrated health centers, [16:18.000 --> 16:20.000] and we have the obligation, [16:20.000 --> 16:22.000] when we find [16:22.000 --> 16:24.000] that there is an administrative building [16:24.000 --> 16:26.000] in the middle of the road, [16:26.000 --> 16:28.000] we are obliged to break this building [16:28.000 --> 16:30.000] and build another one. [16:30.000 --> 16:32.000] It's like Mvuti, [16:32.000 --> 16:34.000] you saw the sub-profecture of Mvuti, [16:34.000 --> 16:36.000] the building of the sub-profecture [16:36.000 --> 16:38.000] is in our control [16:38.000 --> 16:40.000] and we are obliged to make another project [16:40.000 --> 16:42.000] to build a new building [16:42.000 --> 16:44.000] for the sub-profecture. [16:44.000 --> 16:46.000] We are less than 5 meters, [16:46.000 --> 16:48.000] 3 meters from the waterfront [16:48.000 --> 16:50.000] to make a sub-profecture [16:50.000 --> 16:52.000] where there will be trucks [16:52.000 --> 16:54.000] that will pass by. [16:54.000 --> 16:56.000] There is no other comment to make, [16:56.000 --> 16:58.000] the road is there. [16:58.000 --> 17:00.000] Our Mayan population [17:00.000 --> 17:02.000] is very relieved, [17:02.000 --> 17:04.000] really very relieved [17:04.000 --> 17:06.000] because the road is visible. [17:06.000 --> 17:08.000] To get to Pointe Noir here, [17:08.000 --> 17:10.000] it was really a crash. [17:10.000 --> 17:12.000] It's a crash. [17:12.000 --> 17:14.000] Before the road, [17:14.000 --> 17:16.000] it was really difficult. [17:18.000 --> 17:20.000] Tell me, the road, [17:20.000 --> 17:22.000] we know it, [17:22.000 --> 17:24.000] it is an important development factor [17:24.000 --> 17:26.000] here in Mvuti. [17:26.000 --> 17:28.000] How do you intend to contribute [17:28.000 --> 17:30.000] to the development of Congo [17:30.000 --> 17:32.000] that is no longer in Mvuti? [17:32.000 --> 17:34.000] Yes, [17:34.000 --> 17:36.000] the development, [17:36.000 --> 17:38.000] our contribution [17:38.000 --> 17:40.000] is agriculture. [17:40.000 --> 17:42.000] In the first place, it's agriculture. [17:42.000 --> 17:44.000] Because today, we don't think, [17:44.000 --> 17:46.000] we have the forest, [17:46.000 --> 17:48.000] we have the waters, [17:48.000 --> 17:50.000] we can use everything for the development of the country [17:50.000 --> 17:52.000] in relation to the road, [17:52.000 --> 17:54.000] it's the forest, in fact it's agriculture, [17:54.000 --> 17:56.000] raising. What are you doing here, [17:56.000 --> 17:58.000] precisely in Mvuti? [17:58.000 --> 18:00.000] Agriculture. [18:00.000 --> 18:02.000] You yourself, what do you do? [18:02.000 --> 18:04.000] I do agriculture, [18:04.000 --> 18:06.000] and I make the craft chair. [18:06.000 --> 18:08.000] I saw the plank. [18:08.000 --> 18:10.000] Do young people in Mvuti [18:10.000 --> 18:12.000] do the same as you? [18:12.000 --> 18:14.000] Yes, we are many, [18:14.000 --> 18:16.000] we are many to do, [18:16.000 --> 18:18.000] especially the chair, [18:18.000 --> 18:20.000] the plantations, [18:20.000 --> 18:22.000] because we had a bit of difficulty [18:22.000 --> 18:24.000] to transport, [18:24.000 --> 18:26.000] there may be cuts, [18:26.000 --> 18:28.000] but I think that with the road, [18:28.000 --> 18:30.000] it will work. [18:30.000 --> 18:32.000] But now, we are young, [18:32.000 --> 18:34.000] we are many to do the craft chair. [18:34.000 --> 18:36.000] So the road is visible today, [18:36.000 --> 18:38.000] it allows you to easily flow [18:38.000 --> 18:40.000] your products, [18:40.000 --> 18:42.000] and therefore, your feelings [18:42.000 --> 18:44.000] in relation to that, are you happy [18:44.000 --> 18:46.000] in relation to that, relieved? [18:46.000 --> 18:48.000] In any case, the feelings are huge. [18:48.000 --> 18:50.000] We are so delighted, [18:50.000 --> 18:52.000] our youth in Mvuti, [18:52.000 --> 18:54.000] in fact, those who think, what. [18:54.000 --> 18:56.000] Today, it is done, [18:56.000 --> 18:58.000] the president did it for us, [18:58.000 --> 19:00.000] it is a jewel, [19:00.000 --> 19:02.000] because it passes directly [19:02.000 --> 19:04.000] into our village, [19:04.000 --> 19:06.000] so for us, [19:06.000 --> 19:08.000] it was a dream, [19:08.000 --> 19:10.000] it became a reality today. [19:10.000 --> 19:12.000] We did not even know, [19:12.000 --> 19:14.000] because I am a native of Mvuti, [19:14.000 --> 19:16.000] I was born in Mvuti, [19:16.000 --> 19:18.000] we did not even think that one day [19:18.000 --> 19:20.000] we would go to see the gutter in Mvuti. [19:20.000 --> 19:22.000] In fact, it was really a dream, [19:22.000 --> 19:24.000] it was really a dream, [19:24.000 --> 19:26.000] so that's why I say that [19:26.000 --> 19:28.000] we have to think. [19:28.000 --> 19:30.000] I think that first of all, [19:30.000 --> 19:32.000] I support [19:32.000 --> 19:34.000] the project of [19:34.000 --> 19:36.000] the president of the Guesso initiative, [19:36.000 --> 19:38.000] the path of the future, [19:38.000 --> 19:40.000] because with the path of the future, [19:40.000 --> 19:42.000] our population [19:42.000 --> 19:44.000] seems to be a little [19:44.000 --> 19:46.000] relieved, [19:46.000 --> 19:48.000] precisely relieved, [19:48.000 --> 19:50.000] because today, [19:50.000 --> 19:52.000] in relation to yesterday's life, [19:52.000 --> 19:54.000] there is a change, [19:54.000 --> 19:56.000] clearly. [19:56.000 --> 19:58.000] Yesterday, the population had difficulties [19:58.000 --> 20:00.000] to move, [20:00.000 --> 20:02.000] but today, [20:02.000 --> 20:04.000] with the presence of the road, [20:04.000 --> 20:06.000] the inhabitants of Mayombe, [20:06.000 --> 20:08.000] who had difficulties [20:08.000 --> 20:10.000] to move, [20:10.000 --> 20:12.000] today they move easily, [20:12.000 --> 20:14.000] especially for the merchants, [20:14.000 --> 20:16.000] businessmen. [20:16.000 --> 20:18.000] I am very happy [20:18.000 --> 20:20.000] with what is happening, [20:20.000 --> 20:22.000] everything that the president is doing [20:22.000 --> 20:24.000] as a project [20:24.000 --> 20:26.000] in our country. [20:26.000 --> 20:28.000] You say that today the population [20:28.000 --> 20:30.000] moves better than before, [20:30.000 --> 20:32.000] but there was the railway too, [20:32.000 --> 20:34.000] so it was not really the population? [20:34.000 --> 20:36.000] What do you want? [20:36.000 --> 20:38.000] We cannot criticize [20:38.000 --> 20:40.000] the old woman [20:40.000 --> 20:42.000] because we have [20:42.000 --> 20:44.000] the news, [20:44.000 --> 20:46.000] but otherwise for the railway, [20:46.000 --> 20:48.000] I do not know if the railway [20:48.000 --> 20:50.000] will live again [20:50.000 --> 20:52.000] as before. [20:52.000 --> 20:54.000] After the 1980s, [20:54.000 --> 20:56.000] where there was the creation [20:56.000 --> 20:58.000] of blue trains, [20:58.000 --> 21:00.000] in the sun, [21:00.000 --> 21:02.000] really, [21:02.000 --> 21:04.000] especially today, the traveler [21:04.000 --> 21:06.000] is no longer interested in trains, [21:06.000 --> 21:08.000] because in my childhood, when we traveled [21:08.000 --> 21:10.000] with the ABJ train, [21:10.000 --> 21:12.000] A1, A2, [21:12.000 --> 21:14.000] really, the Congolese [21:14.000 --> 21:16.000] traveled freely. [21:16.000 --> 21:18.000] But today, with the road, [21:18.000 --> 21:20.000] the traveler decides [21:20.000 --> 21:22.000] as he wants, and he travels freely. [21:22.000 --> 21:24.000] 8 bridges have been erected [21:24.000 --> 21:26.000] along the trance. [21:26.000 --> 21:28.000] The one in Maseka, on the upper passage [21:28.000 --> 21:30.000] of the SEF-CEO, has been executed [21:30.000 --> 21:32.000] at the size of the railway, [21:32.000 --> 21:34.000] with the possibility of allowing [21:34.000 --> 21:36.000] the doubling of the railway. [21:36.000 --> 21:38.000] The several-hour road trip [21:38.000 --> 21:40.000] is also an opportunity to establish [21:40.000 --> 21:42.000] contact with the populations [21:42.000 --> 21:44.000] who follow the route [21:44.000 --> 21:46.000] and to which a large part of the inhabitants [21:46.000 --> 21:48.000] will concentrate. [21:48.000 --> 21:50.000] These villages in the name of Maseka, [21:50.000 --> 21:52.000] Vuti, Lesara, [21:52.000 --> 21:54.000] Lesbanda, I forget them all. [21:54.000 --> 21:56.000] At such stages where the transit [21:56.000 --> 21:58.000] will be uninterrupted, [21:58.000 --> 22:00.000] the daily theater of a great animation [22:00.000 --> 22:02.000] is at its peak. [22:02.000 --> 22:04.000] Women and men will sell vegetables and fruits [22:04.000 --> 22:06.000] such as pineapple, [22:06.000 --> 22:08.000] coconut, [22:08.000 --> 22:10.000] manioc, papaya, [22:10.000 --> 22:12.000] saffron and other products [22:12.000 --> 22:14.000] in detail or local [22:14.000 --> 22:16.000] handicraft products. [22:16.000 --> 22:18.000] The point of view [22:18.000 --> 22:20.000] of our evolution [22:20.000 --> 22:22.000] in the village [22:22.000 --> 22:24.000] in terms of traffic [22:26.000 --> 22:28.000] and the opportunities [22:28.000 --> 22:30.000] to export our products. [22:30.000 --> 22:32.000] No, there are many advantages [22:32.000 --> 22:34.000] because there is the road, [22:34.000 --> 22:36.000] the truck passes, [22:36.000 --> 22:38.000] anyone can sell until [22:38.000 --> 22:40.000] morning, people pass. [22:42.000 --> 22:44.000] The car can arrive here, [22:44.000 --> 22:46.000] it stays there, the wine passes. [22:46.000 --> 22:48.000] If you earn less than 15,000 [22:48.000 --> 22:50.000] in the day, it's already a lot. [22:50.000 --> 22:52.000] It's for [22:52.000 --> 22:54.000] summer time, less than 15 bags [22:54.000 --> 22:56.000] per day. [22:56.000 --> 22:58.000] And how many bags do you sell per day? [22:58.000 --> 23:00.000] Less than [23:00.000 --> 23:02.000] 250. [23:02.000 --> 23:04.000] Today, it's starting to make me [23:04.000 --> 23:06.000] happy because of the road [23:06.000 --> 23:08.000] that we are about to enter. [23:08.000 --> 23:10.000] Like that, it's really [23:10.000 --> 23:12.000] a lot of fun because [23:12.000 --> 23:14.000] I can even take the cart. [23:14.000 --> 23:16.000] If I go to Bois-Avis, I can even go back. [23:16.000 --> 23:18.000] So it's a great happiness for you. [23:18.000 --> 23:20.000] But to someone who made it [23:20.000 --> 23:22.000] that you could easily use this road, [23:22.000 --> 23:24.000] what do you say to the place [23:24.000 --> 23:26.000] of this person? [23:26.000 --> 23:28.000] Thank you very much for this person. [23:28.000 --> 23:30.000] It's our president Denis [23:30.000 --> 23:32.000] Sassoungueso. He really did [23:32.000 --> 23:34.000] well for the road. [23:34.000 --> 23:36.000] He's a very good president. [23:36.000 --> 23:38.000] He really deserves [23:38.000 --> 23:40.000] to command the Congo. [23:40.000 --> 23:42.000] It doesn't matter who can do that because [23:42.000 --> 23:44.000] there are a lot of presidents who came here [23:44.000 --> 23:46.000] to the Congo. They can't do that. [23:46.000 --> 23:48.000] They can't do that, but [23:48.000 --> 23:50.000] we still have to support our president [23:50.000 --> 23:52.000] Sassoungueso. [23:52.000 --> 23:54.000] We have to support our president Sassoungueso [23:54.000 --> 23:56.000] because before, we didn't have [23:56.000 --> 23:58.000] the road here. [23:58.000 --> 24:00.000] There was a lot of mud, [24:00.000 --> 24:02.000] crabs singing [24:02.000 --> 24:04.000] and music. [24:04.000 --> 24:06.000] That's how it makes harmony. [24:06.000 --> 24:08.000] Look for yourself. [24:08.000 --> 24:10.000] From Pointe Noir to Bois-Avis, [24:10.000 --> 24:12.000] you can even take your Diakarta. [24:12.000 --> 24:14.000] You can even put your girlfriend or your wife [24:14.000 --> 24:16.000] behind you and go back to Bois-Avis easily. [24:16.000 --> 24:18.000] We still have to support [24:18.000 --> 24:20.000] our president Denis Sassoungueso. [24:20.000 --> 24:22.000] Really, [24:22.000 --> 24:24.000] that's all I wanted to say. [24:24.000 --> 24:26.000] That's it. [24:26.000 --> 24:28.000] If you have [24:28.000 --> 24:30.000] another question, [24:30.000 --> 24:32.000] no, unless you have [24:32.000 --> 24:34.000] something else to tell us. [24:34.000 --> 24:36.000] No, I have nothing to say. [24:36.000 --> 24:38.000] I have already said my things. [24:38.000 --> 24:40.000] Thank you very much. [24:40.000 --> 24:42.000] Hello. Your name? [24:42.000 --> 24:44.000] It's Vélil Nsatu. [24:44.000 --> 24:46.000] You are here in this market. [24:46.000 --> 24:48.000] How long have you been selling? [24:48.000 --> 24:50.000] It's been two weeks. [24:50.000 --> 24:52.000] Tell me, has this market existed [24:52.000 --> 24:54.000] for a long time? [24:54.000 --> 24:56.000] Six months already. [24:56.000 --> 24:58.000] Six months already. [24:58.000 --> 25:00.000] I heard that this market was created [25:00.000 --> 25:02.000] after the construction of the road [25:02.000 --> 25:04.000] that is being built between [25:04.000 --> 25:06.000] Pointe Noir and Brazzaville. [25:06.000 --> 25:08.000] What advantages do you have here? [25:08.000 --> 25:10.000] There are trucks now [25:10.000 --> 25:12.000] that stop over there. [25:12.000 --> 25:14.000] There are also vehicles from Doluzi, [25:14.000 --> 25:16.000] Pointe Noir, Doluzi. [25:16.000 --> 25:18.000] When they come here, they buy stuff here. [25:18.000 --> 25:20.000] So we have had our advantage [25:20.000 --> 25:22.000] for this road, that's it. [25:22.000 --> 25:24.000] How do you do to get [25:24.000 --> 25:26.000] here? [25:26.000 --> 25:28.000] There are... [25:28.000 --> 25:30.000] How do you do to get here? [25:30.000 --> 25:32.000] Tell me, [25:32.000 --> 25:34.000] the road has been built. [25:34.000 --> 25:36.000] It's an advantage for all of us. [25:36.000 --> 25:38.000] What do you say to the initiator [25:38.000 --> 25:40.000] of the project? [25:40.000 --> 25:42.000] Yes, we thank [25:42.000 --> 25:44.000] the one who gave us the project [25:44.000 --> 25:46.000] and improved this road. [25:46.000 --> 25:48.000] We thank the head of the state [25:48.000 --> 25:50.000] for what he did [25:50.000 --> 25:52.000] to maintain [25:52.000 --> 25:54.000] the road. [25:54.000 --> 25:56.000] We thank him, really. [25:56.000 --> 25:58.000] It makes us very happy. [25:58.000 --> 26:00.000] In order to maintain this road, [26:00.000 --> 26:02.000] two toll posts have been erected, [26:02.000 --> 26:04.000] respectively in Mingo in the Quilou [26:04.000 --> 26:06.000] and Moukondo in the Niari. [26:06.000 --> 26:08.000] They each have a toll post [26:08.000 --> 26:10.000] to control vehicle traffic. [26:10.000 --> 26:12.000] The construction of the road [26:12.000 --> 26:14.000] Pointe Noir-Brazzaville already produces [26:14.000 --> 26:16.000] inducing effects in the main [26:16.000 --> 26:18.000] traversed villages, [26:18.000 --> 26:20.000] in particular Pandila and Ponga, [26:20.000 --> 26:22.000] 44 km from Pointe Noir, [26:22.000 --> 26:24.000] where the President of the Republic [26:24.000 --> 26:26.000] has built a health center. [26:26.000 --> 26:28.000] It is intended to provide quality care [26:28.000 --> 26:30.000] to the local population. [26:30.000 --> 26:32.000] This dispenser has a medical block [26:32.000 --> 26:34.000] and an administrative building. [26:34.000 --> 26:36.000] In the village Ponga, [26:36.000 --> 26:38.000] a new building [26:38.000 --> 26:40.000] reinforces the capacity [26:40.000 --> 26:42.000] of the primary school. [26:42.000 --> 26:44.000] It includes three classrooms [26:44.000 --> 26:46.000] with a sanitary block. [26:46.000 --> 26:48.000] It is a huge relief. [26:48.000 --> 26:50.000] Yes, it is a contract [26:50.000 --> 26:52.000] between the government [26:52.000 --> 26:54.000] and the Chinese company [26:54.000 --> 26:56.000] that is building the road. [26:56.000 --> 26:58.000] They wanted to make us [26:58.000 --> 27:00.000] this beautiful jewel for the establishment. [27:00.000 --> 27:02.000] I am very happy. [27:02.000 --> 27:04.000] The students are also very happy. [27:04.000 --> 27:06.000] We really have to keep [27:06.000 --> 27:08.000] our building. [27:08.000 --> 27:10.000] We must not destroy it. [27:10.000 --> 27:12.000] It is a beautiful jewel. [27:12.000 --> 27:14.000] We did not expect that. [27:14.000 --> 27:16.000] We have this beautiful jewel. [27:16.000 --> 27:18.000] We cannot waste it. [27:18.000 --> 27:20.000] Thank you very much. [27:20.000 --> 27:22.000] Finally, [27:22.000 --> 27:24.000] after two hours of travel, [27:24.000 --> 27:26.000] the vehicle reaches Dolissie. [27:26.000 --> 27:28.000] My name is Mr. Tatiola, [27:28.000 --> 27:30.000] the coordinator of the road station [27:30.000 --> 27:32.000] in Dolissie. [27:32.000 --> 27:34.000] You are the coordinator [27:34.000 --> 27:36.000] of the road station, [27:36.000 --> 27:38.000] so you have meetings [27:38.000 --> 27:40.000] with people who often take the road. [27:40.000 --> 27:42.000] What do they tell you now? [27:42.000 --> 27:44.000] Now, in relation to the passengers [27:44.000 --> 27:46.000] who travel to Dolissie, [27:46.000 --> 27:48.000] they say that [27:48.000 --> 27:50.000] our prison [27:50.000 --> 27:52.000] is making great efforts, [27:52.000 --> 27:54.000] even big efforts, [27:54.000 --> 27:56.000] because before, [27:56.000 --> 27:58.000] we had tracasseries [27:58.000 --> 28:00.000] for them. [28:00.000 --> 28:02.000] In Dolissie, you can make a return, [28:02.000 --> 28:04.000] something that was not possible before. [28:04.000 --> 28:06.000] So we tell ourselves [28:06.000 --> 28:08.000] that with the cost of sending [28:08.000 --> 28:10.000] the future path, [28:10.000 --> 28:12.000] I think the prison [28:12.000 --> 28:14.000] has made great efforts. [28:14.000 --> 28:16.000] It is a road station [28:16.000 --> 28:18.000] that competes with the green path. [28:18.000 --> 28:20.000] So we also pronounce ourselves [28:20.000 --> 28:22.000] as the path of the future, [28:22.000 --> 28:24.000] Congo in advance. [28:24.000 --> 28:26.000] We are given big bravo, [28:26.000 --> 28:28.000] big bravo, [28:28.000 --> 28:30.000] and a big encouragement [28:30.000 --> 28:32.000] so that tomorrow, [28:32.000 --> 28:34.000] as there is already a launch [28:34.000 --> 28:36.000] of work for Dolissie in Cairo, [28:36.000 --> 28:38.000] I think that's a little bit [28:38.000 --> 28:40.000] what I can say. [28:40.000 --> 28:42.000] And big thanks to the president. [28:42.000 --> 28:44.000] We also give information [28:44.000 --> 28:46.000] to the Congolese population [28:46.000 --> 28:48.000] who want to travel freely [28:48.000 --> 28:50.000] to discover the path of Mayom. [28:50.000 --> 28:52.000] City located in the Dugnari Valley [28:52.000 --> 28:54.000] at 379 km west of Brazzaville, [28:54.000 --> 28:56.000] third of the country [28:56.000 --> 28:58.000] by its demographic and economic importance, [28:58.000 --> 29:00.000] city of wood and forest, [29:00.000 --> 29:02.000] Dolissie is also the city [29:02.000 --> 29:04.000] where the high school of Mbunda was built, [29:04.000 --> 29:06.000] the establishment to which [29:06.000 --> 29:08.000] the most deserving students [29:08.000 --> 29:10.000] of our country will access. [29:10.000 --> 29:12.000] It is also the school [29:12.000 --> 29:14.000] that President Denis Assungueso attended. [29:14.000 --> 29:16.000] At that time, the students of Mbunda [29:16.000 --> 29:18.000] were recreating in specific symbolic places [29:18.000 --> 29:20.000] like this tree [29:20.000 --> 29:22.000] which seems to have resisted so much. [29:22.000 --> 29:24.000] This great tree stands here [29:24.000 --> 29:26.000] in front of the sky, peaceful [29:26.000 --> 29:28.000] and indifferent to the rumors of the day. [29:28.000 --> 29:30.000] It is the historic tree of De Braza, [29:30.000 --> 29:32.000] the mokondo on which [29:32.000 --> 29:34.000] the former students of Mbunda [29:34.000 --> 29:36.000] engraved their name, surname [29:36.000 --> 29:38.000] or sobriquet. [29:38.000 --> 29:40.000] Assungueso, then a student [29:40.000 --> 29:42.000] in this establishment, was also [29:42.000 --> 29:44.000] in fashion, or better, [29:44.000 --> 29:46.000] according to the term in vogue in schools, [29:46.000 --> 29:48.000] he was up to date. [29:48.000 --> 29:50.000] This is how he did not hesitate to write [29:50.000 --> 29:52.000] on the tree his name [29:52.000 --> 30:08.000] which was more affectionate, Prince.
