SUBJECT: BRAZZAVILLE IN BRIEF, 2 NOVEMBER 2007 
 
 
1. (U) The Renaissance Man: President Denis Sassou-Nguesso 
proclaimed in his state of the nation address that the Republic 
of Congo (RoC) is now in a full renaissance mode. Addressing 
Parliament on October 27, the President stated "The renaissance 
of the Congo is a visible, concrete and tangible ambition~ that 
our people see and touch on a daily basis." Presenting a long 
list of projects that have been completed this past year, the 
President failed to acknowledge that the completed projects were 
not financed by his government, but rather by other nations. 
There was no mention of what the other nations received in 
exchange for the projects, no references to outstanding debts or 
recent meetings with the World Bank. He listed future projects 
that have very recently been signed with the People's Republic 
of China (PRC) and said that during this coming year his 
administration will secure a social security/retirement fund, 
pay the unpaid salaries of state officials, recruit 4,000 health 
and teaching staff, renovate 500 classrooms and the Brazzaville 
main hospital (CHU), complete the national census, and provide 
free anti-retroviral medications to HIV-positive Congolese. He 
noted that RoC has renewed positive bilateral relations with 
France, Namibia, Brazil, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and 
United Arab Emirates.  Omitted was mention of the United States 
(again), the United Nations (again) or the European Union 
(except for a bleat about blocking Congolese sugar exports). In 
spite of these promises, the only announcement that received 
applause was that National Day would be held in the city of 
Brazzaville for the next two years (Comment. This is a change 
from the practice of choosing a city each year.  Brazzaville had 
already been the 2008 designee-requiring two years for the 
modernization is one indication of the sorry state of 
infrastructure in the capital. End comment.) The President is 
currently on his annual pilgrimage to his birthplace in Oyo to 
commemorate the death of his mother. As is always the case this 
time of year, there are predictions of changes in government, 
including a Cabinet reshuffle, in the offing. 
 
2. (U) The Thirteenth Summit of the Economic Community of 
Central African States (CEAAC) opened October 30 and was 
attended by Omar Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, Joseph Kabila Kabange 
of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Fradique de Menezes of 
Sao Tomi et Principe, and Frangois Bozizi of Central Africa 
Republic. Cameroon, Angola, Burundi and Equatorial Guinea were 
represented by their prime ministers. In his opening address, 
President Denis Sassou-Nguesso said the CEAAC members must focus 
on security and economic stability and must drop barriers that 
prohibit trading and free movement. The formal agenda included: 
the status of negotiations between the countries of Central 
Africa and the European Union (EU); signing an economic 
partnership agreement; drafting a master plan of transportation 
in the region; and developing and enforcing a Free Trade Area. 
Joseph Kabila Kabangui of DRC was appointed the new chairman 
while RoC Louis Silvain-Ngoma remains the secretary general. 
 
3. (U) The RoC Constitutional Court released its decision 
regarding the 19 cases claiming mismanagement of the June and 
August legislative elections: four cases were considered to have 
merit and elections will be rescheduled in those districts.  The 
other 15 cases were dismissed for lack of evidence. Cases 
dismissed included the complaint filed by Alain Akouala-Atipault 
against Guy Gantsio Gambou (Plateaux); Jean Adidi against Andri 
Kissangui (Sangha) and Niciphore Fylla Saint Eudes against the 
electoral Administration of Poto Poto, the President's district. 
Opposition rumors are now saying that Alain Akouala-Atipault, 
currently the Minister of Communication, will now lose his 
Cabinet seat to Claudia Lemboumba, President Sassou's daughter 
who currently serves as President's Adviser on Public Relations. 
 
 
4. (U) Emile Ouosso, Minister of Transports, announced a plan to 
replace the grounded Antonovs. The GRoC will rent aircraft, two 
Boeing and two Embrauer, from South Africa, until purchase can 
be finalized. 
 
5. (U) Three People's Republic of China (PRC) companies were 
selected to construct 1,000 new homes in the Brazzaville area. 
Jean Jacques Bouya, Ministry of Public Works, announced that the 
Beijing Construction Engineering Group, the International 
Economic and Technical Cooperative of Weil Hai, and China 
Jiangsu Cooperation will build the low-income homes in 
conjunction with an urban master plan first started in 1982. 
 
6. (U) Gregory Moua Likibi, Ministry of Tourism, presided over a 
workshop to implement multilateral environmental agreements with 
local NGOs and environment groups to identify common needs and 
goals and improve the management of the environment. 
 
7. (U) Heavy rains in Brazzaville: A headsup for the Department 
and OFDA. The monsoon season has hit Brazzaville with full force 
and Embassy has begun inspecting various neighborhoods that are 
perennial victims of high waters. We anticipate the likelihood 
of requesting OFDA funds for emergency relief. Last year, we 
were the sole diplomatic mission to respond, and joined with our 
NGO partner, IPHD and Texaco to get direct relief to 560
