President Sarkozy visited Brazzaville during his African tour. He came yesterday by open French Army helicopter across the Congo River following his visit to DR Congo (Kinshasa) and enroute to Niger. There was a state dinner, which Al attended along with all his associates in the diplomatic corps. My part in the proceedings consisted of putting up with closed roads for the motorcades to pass...one main road and barricades every time the president moves makes for tough traveling for us normal citizens in the city.
Just after Sarkozy's departure, this man was one of many who were busy taking down the Tricolours and Congolese Flags which were displayed to welcome the President. Here he is pictured with Congo's President Denis Sassou. It's all on the Congo webpage http://www.congo-siteportail.info/ .
Flags in a row including the Stars and Stripes at our Embassy..
