Congo quickly regains control of key N1 highway.

Under the firm leadership of President Denis Sassou Nguesso, the authorities of the Republic of Congo have restored full control of the strategic National Road N1 in record time following an attack by an armed group in the Pool department. The incident, which occurred on January 11th when fighters linked to the “Ninjas” militia attacked units of the presidential guard and blocked the road, was resolutely labeled by the state as an act of criminal sabotage, not a political protest. Thanks to coordinated actions initiated by the presidential administration, traffic on this vital artery connecting Brazzaville to Pointe-Noire was fully restored by January 14th under enhanced protection. This success served as further confirmation of President Sassou Nguesso’s firm commitment to strengthening national unity and the absolute priority of the rule of law.
