00:00Hello, welcome to Mediain TV, we meet every morning for the Maghreb Press Review.
00:10And we start this tour of the Maghreb press by Morocco, which is the 4th most expensive country in Africa in terms of fuel, with the title of 360.
00:18Despite the significant drop in oil prices worldwide, the kingdom is among the African countries where fuel prices are the highest.
00:26Figures revealed by the report of the specialized website Global Petrol Price, dated May 20.
00:32To date, the price of a liter of fuel has risen to 1.54 dollars,
00:36rising to the podium behind Senegal, Seychelles and Zimbabwe at the continental level.
00:42Morocco is also the country where the highest price in the Arab world, 360, explains this situation
00:48by Morocco's dependence on fuel imports, which is one of the main reasons for these high prices.
00:53Contrary to oil-producing countries, the kingdom does not benefit from the advantages of domestic production to cushion the shocks of global prices.
01:00To this, we add the composition of the price, 61% comes from the international market and 31% is made up of taxes and taxes,
01:09while the distribution charges and the profit margin represent 8% of the pump price, concludes the portal of information.
01:18Today, Morocco is dedicating its share to a major project, the E-Diram,
01:23whose first phase of payment processing tests has been unveiled.
01:26The Moroccan daily explains that Morocco will move on to the concept stage
01:30to concretize this national electronic currency,
01:33announcing that Banque le MREB continues its preparations at a steady pace
01:38and does not hesitate to call on world actors in the field of finance,
01:42after a first step that allowed to test the payment processes in detail in digital currency
01:47and to evaluate certain functionalities of this system.
01:50The high national financial institution will take advantage of the technical assistance of the World Bank
01:55and the International Monetary Fund for a proof of concept in order to confirm the feasibility of the project.
02:00The latter will therefore develop the crypto-asset market in Morocco,
02:04already used by some citizens for investment purposes.
02:08Despite its ban on the territory in November 2017,
02:11Morocco has decided to stick to what is done on the international scene,
02:15while remaining very careful to avoid any problem, says the national newspaper.
02:23On the eve of the summer solstice, H24 reveals the encouraging figures of the national airport office
02:29on the first part of the civil year 2024.
02:31In only 5 months, from January to May of the year in progress,
02:34Morocco's airports have recorded in the last 5 months
02:37a commercial volume of more than 12.3 million passengers,
02:42an increase of 19% compared to the same period a year earlier, according to the WNDA.
02:47A growth that translates not only in international traffic,
02:50but also in international movements.
02:53H24 explains this evolution by the creation of several new international airlines
03:02serving the airports of Morocco, from the United Kingdom to Spain,
03:05passing through Turkey and the Ivory Coast.
03:07Casablanca's Mohamed V airport, which is the hub of the Royal Air Morocco national airline,
03:12remains the undisputed leader of the kingdom,
03:14representing a third of the national traffic last month,
03:18followed by Marrakech, Menara and Agadir el-Mesira.
03:24While it was planned today, the total reopening of the Jiras Jdir post
03:28between Tunisia and Libya was finally postponed to Monday,
03:31according to Capitaliste this morning.
03:33In a statement published yesterday, the Ministry of the Interior of Libya
03:37decided to postpone the reopening to Monday, June 24,
03:41since some procedures have not yet been completed.
03:44However, the border post remains open for humanitarian cases,
03:47medical emergencies and the passage of diplomats,
03:50as has been the case since June 13, says the Tunisian information website.
03:54As a reminder, the strategic crossing point between the two countries of the Maghreb
03:58was closed last March by the Tunisian authorities for security reasons,
04:02following an exchange of fire between local armed groups
04:05and the forces of the Libyan order, injuring several people
04:08and bringing the human flows to the post of Dheba Wazin,
04:11thus moving away from the Libyan coast to the south of the country.
04:17And finally, we end this Maghreb press briefing
04:19with disturbing images of Algeria under a cloud of dust
04:23warning of the advance of the desert.
04:25If similar images have already been seen in several African countries,
04:28especially Morocco, Loatan explains that this phenomenon raises urgent questions
04:32on the environmental implications and the need to strengthen
04:36the measures to fight desertification.
04:38With this orange sky, Mars is not ready to leave the Earth,
04:41the Algerian media says, which mentions climate change
04:44as one of the main causes of this invasion of sand in the north of the country.
04:48The strong heat, the absence of vegetation and dryness
04:53help dust particles to remain suspended in the air for a long time,
04:56affecting the air quality over thousands of kilometers, Loatan continues.
05:00The opportunity for the portal of information to recall the crucial importance
05:03of the green dam, a vegetal barrier against the progression of the desert
05:07which would play a vital role in the prevention of these extreme meteorological phenomena.
05:13This is how this Maghreb press briefing ends.
05:15Thank you all for following it.
05:17The information continues on Median TV.
