The Morning Call
Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso has been chosen by his party to run again for the top job in 2021, having already led the central African country for a total of 35 years.

Africanews correspondent Laudes Martial gives us the reactions from the Congolese capital Brazzaville.
