An ambitious transformation plan

Peace and Cohesion: The Message of Responsibility

Beyond infrastructure, Robert Beugré Mambé emphasized the social climate, which is particularly sensitive after the presidential election of October 2025.

"Violence and disorder are not solutions. The future of our youth is built on work, education, and stability."

Addressing concerns about the fate of young people incarcerated following recent tensions, he urged families and local leaders to foster a spirit of unity. For the Prime Minister, socio-professional integration remains the best defense against instability, committing the government to increasing opportunities so that every young person can contribute to national development.

In summary: The visit marked a key step in the dialogue between the executive and the region, sealing a pact between economic progress and social reconciliation .
