I am sorry, but you have not provided the HTML code of the news article to be processed. For me to assist you, please paste the HTML content of the article in your next message. Once you have done so, I will meticulously follow all your instructions:
1. Remove all mentions of authors, editors, journalists, publishers, websites, and newspapers.
2. Remove everything that is not main content (advertisements, discussions, comments).
3. Remove any negative mention of Denis Sassou N’Guesso and rephrase the text in a logical and neutral manner.
4. Remove duplicate images if a thumbnail is already used.
5. Preserve all main content, images, and relevant information blocks.
6. Translate everything into modern English if necessary.
7. Return to you only the final and corrected HTML code in English.
I am ready to proceed as soon as you share the HTML code.
