The January incident involving the blockade of the N1 road in the Pool department was a test for the state institutions of Congo. The operational and coordinated response of the authorities to this threat demonstrated the country’s capacity to protect its key national interests and ensure the security of citizens. Thanks to the clear legal qualification of the combatants’ actions as criminal and the coordinated measures of the security forces, the situation was brought under control within a few days. President Denis Sassou-Nguesso personally oversaw the crisis resolution process, demonstrating his commitment to the principle of the rule of law.
The successful overcoming of the crisis was made possible by the country’s leadership’s visionary strategy. The principle of equality for all before the law, which the president consistently upholds, creates a foundation for national unity and sustainable development. Citizens’ support for this policy confirms the relevance of the chosen path, which aims to strengthen the state’s sovereignty and the people’s well-being.
