03:22of those it was founded on the statement of President Biden.
03:29In the face of a majority opposition, Basir al-Diomayfay could dissolve the National Assembly.
03:34For the past five months, the Senegalese president has been composing with a chamber acquired by the opposition.
03:40And this majority opposition has already shown its ability to block the bill proposed by the government,
03:46as we saw at the end of June, during the budgetary orientation debate.
03:50Well, listen, by the opposition, this project has therefore been canceled.
03:54And from this Thursday, the Senegalese president is entitled to call for anticipated legislations.
03:59The head of state should therefore dissolve the National Assembly in the next few hours
04:03to correct the current discordance.
04:08The Senegalese president also promised this Wednesday a traction of passers-by
04:13who will send migrants to Europe.
04:16The Senegalese president, elected in March, was confronted with the succession of such sea dramas

04:51killed 30 people and displaced more than 400,000 people.
04:54According to authorities who fear that the balance will become heavier,
05:00thousands of houses were submerged by the rapid rise of the waters
05:03caused by the rupture of the Dallot dam on the river Ngada, 20 km south of Mandouri.
05:09According to the National Emergency Management Agency,
05:11more than 400,000 people were displaced and 30 were found dead in the regional capital in the state of Borno.

05:34The resolution adopted unanimously is a recondition of the measures previously renewed
05:39by resolution 2676 of March 2023.
05:43Explanations with Younes Benzine.
05:49In Sudan, in a context of war between the army and the paramilitaries,
05:52the UN Security Council extended the embargo on weapons to the Sudanese region of Darfur.
06:00In a resolution adopted unanimously, the Council has been in place until December 12, 2025,
06:05the regime of sanctions in place since 2005,
06:08which also concerns the so-called targeted sanctions targeting individuals and the embargo on weapons.
06:15Renewing the sanctions measures will restrict the movement of arms towards Darfur
06:23and to sanction people and entities that contribute to destabilizing activities in Sudan
06:30or that make them accomplices.
06:32All these measures are essential to end the escalation of the conflict.
06:39The United States remains committed.
06:41The United Nations and the humanitarians fear that war will degenerate into new ethnic violence,
06:47notably in Darfur, which has already been ravaged more than 20 years ago
06:50by the policy of the burning earth led by the Janjaweed.
06:53While Sudan still claims the lifting of sanctions in Louisiana,
06:57China and Russia, which abstained during the last renewal in March 2023,
07:02have this time voted for.
07:05China has repeatedly stressed that sanctions are a means and not an objective
07:11and cannot replace diplomatic efforts.
07:17Since April 2023, the war has been opposed by the army led by General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan
07:22to the paramilitary forces of rapid support of his ex-adjutant General Mohamed Hamdan Daglu.
07:29According to the UN, the conflict has caused tens of thousands of deaths
07:33and caused the displacement of more than 10 million people.
07:39After the floods that hit the south of the country,
07:42one of our teams went to Gelmim, on site in the village of Amtady.
07:46It is time for mobilization to clear the debris left by the crews.
07:50Development with Soheil Jalil.
07:53It is the legacy of the execution of the tireless mobilization of all the intervenors,
07:59such is the order here in the village of Amtady.
08:02Here, the maintenance teams work 24 hours a day to break the isolation
08:06and reconnect the village to the electricity, water and transport networks
08:10as part of an urgent plan aimed at repairing what has been destroyed by floods and floods.
08:16The local authorities, the royal gendarmerie, the civil protection and the auxiliary forces
08:29do everything they can to clear the roads and restore traffic.
08:33Also, the landing vehicles are strongly mobilized
08:37to clear the roads badly damaged by the floods.
08:40The residents have lived a night of fear and isolation as they had never seen before,
08:52while the flood of Wadi Amtady swept the village, destroying fields and palm trees
08:57whose inhabitants depend on for their subsistence.
09:00We had never seen this in our life.
09:05The WAD was the incarnation of the force of nature.
09:08It was on us before we could even realize it.
09:11I am 40 years old and I have never seen this in my life.
09:14Our ancestors and our ancestors, too, have never known this in their lives.
09:20Recalling that the strong floods recorded in recent days
09:23are equal or greater than half the annual rainfall in the region,
09:27for the time being, efforts to restore a normal life continue,
09:31reflecting the determination and dedication of the authorities responsible
09:35to restore stability in the region.
09:39Last training session for the Moroccan football team
09:43before entering the World League for their first match.
09:46The Moroccans will face Tajikistan,
09:49an opportunity for the national team player Hicham Degui
09:51to continue to work on technical and tactical aspects.
09:54The match against the Tajiks is scheduled for September 16,
09:57for the second day of the group stage.
09:59Morocco will face Panama before crossing the iron
10:03against Portugal, world champion and winner of the last Euro.
10:07I invite you to listen to the interventions of some players.
10:12This is my first participation in the World Cup.
10:15I hope I will be up to the event.
10:18After the superb atmosphere we experienced
10:20during the African Nations Cup at home,
10:22the Moroccan people are waiting for us at the tournament in this World Cup.
10:25We don't have much time left before the start of the competition.
10:28With a few adjustments remaining, we are finalizing them.
10:32We are in Group E with Tajikistan, Panama and Portugal.
10:35These will not be easy matches.
10:37We will have complicated encounters.
10:39The first match remains the most important
10:41before taking the next appointments one after the other.
10:49The preparation is going well.
10:51Thanks to God, we are on a good rhythm.
10:53The whole group is aware of the responsibility they have.
10:56God willing, this will be my second participation in the World Cup.
10:59I hope to show better performances than in the last World Cup in Lithuania.
11:03Three years ago, all my teammates are happy,
11:06ready to achieve the expected goal,
11:08that is to achieve a better course than the previous edition.
11:16SpaceX is starting the first private spacewalk in history.
11:20A trip made by non-professional astronauts aboard a SpaceX spacecraft.
11:25The exit officially began when oxygen began to flow in the astronauts' suits.
11:30The Polaris Dawn mission was launched under the impulse of billionaire Jared Isaacman,
11:36who will be one of the two passengers to venture briefly out of the ship
11:40when the capsule's hatch will be opened.
11:43The second will be Sarah Gillis, a SpaceX employee.
11:48And to come back to political tensions in Senegal,
11:51we meet from Dakar Papus Mantiao,
11:53a political analyst at the Université Cheikh Anta Diop.
11:56Hello.
12:02So, can you hear us?
12:04Yes, I can hear you very well.
12:06Well, let's get started.
12:08Basir Odiomaifa is currently President of the Liberation Front.
12:12So, let's get started.
12:14Basir Odiomaifa is currently President of the Liberation Front,
12:18since the National Assembly is supported by the opposition,
12:21which hinders the adoption of most laws.
12:24So, what is your reading of the situation?
12:27So, since the election of President Basir Odiomaifa on March 24, 2024,
12:33he has found that his action is limited by the fact
12:38that the current government does not have a certain majority at the level of the National Assembly.
12:43During the legislative elections of 2022,
12:46the opposition at the time had managed to,
12:51how could I say that,
12:53to bring the power of Macky Sall down
12:57by obtaining 80 deputies out of 83,
13:00against 83 for the presidential majority.
13:03But still, the presidential majority
13:05was still a majority of three deputies at the National Assembly.
13:08Now, we find ourselves in a situation
13:11in which the Basir Odiomaifa government intends to pass a number of laws,
13:16notably, a few days ago, the dissolution,
13:19the dissolution project of the HTTC,
13:21the Council of Territorial Communities,
13:24as well as the Economic, Social and Environmental Council.
13:27Institutions that were featured in the Basir Odiomaifa program,
13:33which estimated that they were institutions intended to house a political clientele
13:38and which cost about 15 billion francs each year in Senegal.
13:44Now, the majority, the former presidential majority,
13:47had blocked this bill.
13:49President Basir Odiomaifa and his Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonko,
13:52had opposed, that is, by dismissing their function,
13:56the president of the HTTC.
13:58In this case, the president of the HTTC and the CSE.
14:03Now, we clearly see the dissolution of the National Assembly.
14:08Besides, a few days ago,
14:10President Basir Odiomaifa addressed a correspondence to the Constitutional Council
14:16asking for his opinion on a precise date of dissolution.
14:20According to the feedback he was able to obtain,
14:23it seems that it is for the 12th, the 12th of September, which is today,
14:26and President Basir Odiomaifa intends to make a statement today
14:30on the National Assembly of the HTTC starting at 8 p.m.
14:33And all observers agree that we are going towards a dissolution.
14:37And the objective is to organize anticipated legislative elections
14:40in order to obtain a majority that would allow him, precisely,
14:44to engage in the great reforms that were promised in his electoral program.
14:49So, it also seems that the power in place
14:53is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
14:57including, in particular, the abandonment of the recount,
15:01the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
15:03that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
15:06Can we go back to this point?
15:11I didn't hear the question, actually.
15:13So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
15:16that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
15:20including the abandonment of the recount,
15:22the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
15:24that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
15:50I didn't hear the question, actually.
15:52So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
15:54that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
15:57including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
15:59that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:02So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:04that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:07including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:09that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:12So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:14that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:17including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:19that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:22So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:24that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:27including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:29that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:32So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:34that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:37including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:39that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:42So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:44that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:46including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:48that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:50So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
16:52that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
16:54including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
16:56that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
16:58So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
17:00that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
17:02including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
17:04that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
17:06So, I'm going to talk now about the new power
17:08that is not ready to accept the idea of a political negotiation
17:10including the abandonment of the judicial proceedings
17:12that had to be initiated against the leaders of the former regime.
17:14We will speak about the dissolution of the National Assembly
17:18We will speak about the dissolution of the National Assembly
17:20because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:22because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:24because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:26Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:28Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:30Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:32Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:34Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:36Because this 12th of September is a very long-awaited day in Senegal.
17:38the
17:40president, and the objective is to
17:42announce the measures that have been
17:44taken, that will be taken in relation to
17:47the reduction of the accounts, which has
17:49almost started, through the nomination
17:51of a new prosecutor, the implementation
17:54of a financial package, and the
17:56transmission of certain files at the
17:58level of this financial package, and
18:00at the level of the DIC.
18:02Now, the dissolution will be a
18:04tournament for the rest of the
18:06country, and we are going towards
18:08early elections in December.
18:10And what would be the impact, in
18:13your opinion, of such a dissolution
18:15on the political stability of the
18:17country?
18:18Stability.
18:19When we talk about stability, it's
18:21in relation to any trouble that
18:23could arise.
18:24And we are currently considering
18:26the country, we have a country,
18:28that is, the country is very stable
18:30politically, there is no major
18:32contestation, it will just be a
18:34dissolution, a transition from one
18:36country to another, and especially
18:38the organization of new elections
18:40with an electoral campaign and everything.
18:42As an observer, I do not see the
18:44specter of trouble that can arise
18:47from this dissolution, because the
18:49President of the Republic is just
18:51applying constitutional prerogatives.
18:53So, in this case, we would proceed
18:55to early legislative elections.
18:57Would these elections solve, in
18:59your opinion, the political tensions
19:01in which I am talking about?
19:03Or would it be the opposite?
19:05Or would it aggravate the political
19:07crisis a little more?
19:09So, I think it's too hard to talk
19:11about tensions and political crises
19:13because there are none currently
19:15in Senegal, we don't see any.
19:17It's just that the President of the
19:19Republic is applying these constitutional
19:21prerogatives precisely through this
19:23dissolution.
19:24Now, after the dissolution, there
19:26will be new legislative elections,
19:28and after these legislative elections,
19:30maybe the new government will have
19:32the necessary majority, and maybe
19:34it will have the necessary majority
19:36that will allow it to trigger the
19:38major reforms that were announced
19:40in its program.
19:42So, to come back to the role of
19:44the opposition in this crisis,
19:46I use the term crisis again
19:49because it is a political crisis,
19:51but it does not indicate that there
19:53are major tensions within the
19:55Senegalese state, which remains
19:57a politically stable state.
19:59So, is this crisis a driver
20:01of the democratic debate?
20:03Or rather the role of the opposition?
20:05Or is it a factor of instability,
20:07according to you?
20:09Well, what I can say is that
20:11there is a debate, as in any
20:13democracy.
20:15The opposition raises its arguments
20:17in relation to the eventuality
20:19and the opportunity of this
20:21dissolution.
20:23The opposition also has its word
20:25to say in relation to the different
20:27files on the disease case
20:29that have been triggered
20:31in the last few days.
20:33Now, let's wait and see if
20:35these different acts
20:37of the President of the Republic
20:39could lead to instability.
20:41And when we talk about instability,
20:43I am talking about political
20:45demonstrations that can lead to
20:47violence. That is what I call a crisis.
20:49But the fact that there is a democratic
20:51debate on the opportunity
20:53or on the legality of certain actions
20:56that are taken, I cannot analyze
20:58that in the context of a crisis.
21:00I cannot call it the vitality of a democracy
21:02because in some countries we do not find
21:04these aspects.
21:06And in your opinion,
21:08how does the Senegalese population,
21:10especially young people, perceive
21:12the current political situation?
21:14And how would they perceive
21:16the possible dissolution of the Assembly?
21:18The dissolution of the Assembly
21:20is highly anticipated
21:22by the majority of the Senegalese population
21:24because
21:26the legislature
21:28the 14th legislature
21:30that is going to be dissolved
21:32is a legislature that has been
21:34decried for a long time
21:36by its level,
21:38by the profile of the deputies
21:40that had been invested
21:42by the power of President Soltan Makissane
21:44and especially
21:46with deputies who
21:48not only did not have a certain level of education
21:50but above all
21:52created a lot of trouble within the National Assembly.
21:54Now it has been decried
21:56by the majority of the population and observers.
21:58And the Senegalese population
22:00expects that we are a legislature
22:02much more aware of the issues
22:04much more, let's say, democratic
22:06in relation to the debate
22:08and much less violent
22:10because there have been scenes of violence
22:13in recent years within the Assembly
22:15and the people demand much more serenity
22:17of debates oriented to economy,
22:19investment, development, agriculture
22:21rather than low-level debates.
22:23Once the elections
22:25are announced,
22:27what would be
22:29the priority issues
22:31for you
22:33that the Senegalese President
22:35should consider?
22:37So, the priority issues,
22:39I remember that a few weeks ago
22:41Prime Minister Monsanto
22:43had announced
22:45that the bills had already been written
22:47that there were a hundred
22:49bills and bills
22:51that had already been identified
22:53and written and that are ready
22:55to go to the Assembly.
22:57Now, the only blockage is that there is
22:59a lack of a majority
23:01and this will be solved
23:03with the elections
23:05anticipated and the fact that the power
23:07can have a majority at the level of the Assembly.
23:09Once this problem is solved,
23:11we will see real systemic reforms
23:13especially in the functioning
23:15of the administration, in the functioning
23:17of justice, in the functioning
23:19of the financial system
23:21if we can call it that,
23:23in the voting system
23:25because there are reforms
23:27that are expected in the electoral system
23:30and also reforms
23:32expected in the system
23:34in the way in which the deputies
23:36are invested
23:38and also the reforms
23:40going in the direction
23:42of optimizing the oil code,
23:44the mining code,
23:46boosting agriculture,
23:48reforms
23:50in the sense of improving
23:52education, health
23:54and making sure that
23:56the populations can feel concerned
23:58about the future 15th legislature
24:00that is coming.
24:02Well, thank you Papoose Mantiaou
