For our manual on Romance languages in Africa (RoLA) at the University of Passau (Germany), we are looking for an expert on the variety of French spoken in Congo-Brazzaville who could contribute a chapter to our manual (in English). For more information, see the attached document and the project homepage (https://www.phil.uni-passau.de/en/romance-languages/research/rola/). Recommendations are highly appreciated!
This is a report published by Al Jazeera about the Congo. I hope it helps you in your research:

I have interpreted and translated French English for many persons in and of the Congo, noticing the variables, which included terminology, hierarchy positions, motives, but it was a long time ago and I no longer have factual examples.

I would suggest Jean-Alexis Mfoutou. I have tried Google, but could not find an email address or his current occupation.
He used to be a member of the "Laboratoire Dynamique du langage in situ", where his former patron de thèse Foued Laroussi might be able to bring you in contact with him. See https://dylis.univ-rouen.fr/membres-permanents
You can also try his postal address at Notre-Dame-de-Bondeville:

And the website of his publisher L'Harmand is offering a link for contacting Mfoutou directly, but I am not sure whether this is only an automatised feature or a valid link:

Good luck with your search!
