00:00Hello everyone, this is a new edition of the Média Morning, here are the headlines.
00:21In his speech to the nation, His Majesty King Mohammed VI oriented the government to
00:31proceed with the restructuring of the institutional framework for two key entities, the Council
00:37of the Moroccan Community Abroad and the Mohamedia Foundation of Moroccans living abroad.
00:44Kamala Harris committed herself yesterday to help Donald Trump for the transfer of power
00:53after the Republican victory in the race to the White House.
00:57A victory that caused a wave of shock in the United States across the world.
01:06In this newspaper also, at least 40 people were killed on Wednesday by Israeli strikes
01:11in eastern Lebanon, especially the city of Beir Bek, where rescuers are still looking
01:17for survivors in the rubble.
01:19An announcement made by the Ministry of Health.
01:29Celebration in Morocco of the 49th anniversary of the Green March.
01:33We talk about it right now.
01:41Morocco celebrated this Wednesday, November 6, the 49th anniversary of the Green March.
01:52On this occasion, His Majesty King Mohammed VI addressed a speech to the nation.
01:57In this speech, the sovereign emphasized international recognition of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara.
02:05Let's listen to this excerpt from the royal speech.
02:09Morocco successfully used the evidence of a tangible reality and an irrevocable truth
02:18based on the foundation of the good law, legitimacy and responsible commitment.
02:23This is, first of all, the attachment of our Sahara sons to their Moroccan identity
02:29and to the sacred symbol of the nation, in virtue of the secular ties of the Beyah
02:33that unite the population of the Sahara and the kings of Morocco.
02:37Secondly, the dynamic of renewal and development, security and stability that the Moroccan Sahara enjoys.
02:44Thirdly, the increased international recognition of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara
02:48and the broad support for the proposal of autonomy.
02:57In contrast, with this state of legitimate and natural things,
03:01the Moroccan Sahara is unfortunately in another configuration, disconnected from the real world,
03:06in the sense that it feeds on myths of the past and desperately clings to perennial theses.
03:12Among these tenets, some still claim the holding of a referendum,
03:17despite the abandonment of this option by the United Nations, due to its inapplicability.
03:23At the same time, it is the same people who refuse the census of the sequestered populations in the Tindouf camps
03:29and remain hostages in lamentable conditions.
03:32They are humiliated, mistreated, deprived of the most basic rights.
03:41The others, in their covetousness for access to the Atlantic, instrumentalize the Sahara affair.
03:47To this, we simply say that we are not opposed to it.
03:51In fact, as everyone knows, Morocco has been the craftsman of an international initiative
03:56intended to facilitate the access of the Sahel states to the Atlantic Ocean.
04:00Designed in a spirit of collaboration, partnership and shared progress,
04:05this enterprise proposes to be beneficial to all countries in the region.
04:10There is then what is used of the Sahara affair as before to cover their many domestic problems.
04:17There is also another category that diverts the legal aspects of this issue for political and tricky purposes.
04:23To this, we say that the partnerships and legal commitments of Morocco
04:27will never be at the expense of its national unity and its territorial integrity.
04:33The time has come for the United Nations to take responsibility,
04:37highlighting the great difference between two paradigms,
04:41the one that Morocco embodies in its Sahara, realistic and legitimate,
04:45and the one that rests on a sclerotic vision, cut off from the real world and its evolutions.
04:53The Sovereign also called for the mobilization of all Moroccans
04:57to preserve the territorial integrity of the Kingdom
04:59and continue to make the provinces of the South shine together,
05:03listening to His Majesty King Mohamed VI.
05:08The sacrifices of the Generation of the Green March
05:11encourage us to mobilize more and to be vigilant
05:14to strengthen our achievements in terms of consolidating the Moroccan identity of the Sahara
05:19and to continue the dynamic of development at work in our southern provinces.
05:23In the same spirit, we must ensure that the fruits of progress and development
05:27benefit the citizens of all regions of the country,
05:30from the Sahara Reef, from the East to the Ocean,
05:33through mountainous areas, plains and oases.
05:37The celebration of the Glorious Green March
05:39is an opportunity for us to commemorate the eternal oath of this epic,
05:44an oath of faithfulness to the immaculate memory of its craftsman,
05:48our Venerable Father, His Majesty King Hassan II,
05:51may God bless him in his holy mercy,
05:54as well as the valiant martyrs of the nation.
05:59The Sovereign also dedicated part of the speech to the Moroccans living abroad.
06:06His Majesty King Mohamed VI directed the government
06:09to restructure the institutional framework around two key entities,
06:16the Council of the Moroccan Community abroad
06:20and the Mohamedia Foundation of Moroccans living abroad.
06:29We directed the government to restructure this institutional framework
06:34around two key entities.
06:36The first is the Council of the Moroccan Community abroad,
06:39which, as an autonomous constitutional institution,
06:42must fully assume its role as a framework of reflection
06:45and a force of proposal
06:47and reflect the representativeness of the different components of this community.
06:51In this regard, we call for the diligence of the adoption of the new law
06:55relating to the Council in the perspective of its installation in the best delay.
06:59The second is the Mohamedia Foundation of Moroccans living abroad,
07:03this dedicated institution, once created,
07:06will become the operational arm of public policy in this regard.
07:19Thus, the new foundation will be in charge of aggregating the attributes currently scattered
07:24among a multitude of actors,
07:26to coordinate the elaboration and implementation of the national strategy
07:30dedicated to Moroccans living abroad.
07:32In addition, this new structure will ensure the management of the national mechanism
07:36of mobilization of the skills of Moroccans living abroad,
07:40which we have called for the creation again
07:43and which we have inscribed in the head of the missions devoted to the foundation.
07:47The goal is to open the way to the skills and Moroccan enterprises
07:50installed abroad and to support the bearers of initiatives and projects.
08:03In addition, we expect from this institution that,
08:06in favor of the involvement of the concerned ministerial departments
08:09and the various actors,
08:11it gives a strong impetus to the linguistic, cultural and religious
08:14coordination of the members of the community,
08:17all generations mixed up.
08:19In this regard, the simplification and the digitization
08:22of administrative and judicial procedures
08:25intended for our children established abroad
08:28are among the major challenges that this institution will have to face.
08:32We are also keen to open new perspectives
08:35to the members of the community
08:37who are eager to invest in their country.
08:40Indeed, it is inconceivable that their contribution
08:43to the volume of private national investments
08:46is limited to 10%.
08:59Kamala Harris committed herself yesterday
09:02to help Donald Trump for the transfer of power
09:05after the Republican victory in the race to the White House.
09:09A victory that caused a wave of shock in the United States
09:13and around the world.
09:15We must accept the results of this election.
09:18To launch the Democratic Vice President
09:20in front of supporters in tears,
09:22Kamala Harris was an incredible partner.
09:24She declared Joe Biden in a statement
09:26saluting the integrity, the courage and the temperament
09:29of his Vice President.
09:31He will address the nation this Thursday
09:33to evoke the results of the election,
09:36the return of a billionaire Republican,
09:39and all the more extraordinary
09:41that his third campaign was marked by two assassination attempts,
09:44four inculpations and a penalty sentence.
09:47The United States was waiting a long time
09:49for the polls given.
09:51The two candidates were at odds.
09:53The case is up and as long as we keep fighting.
09:58At least 40 people were killed this Wednesday
10:01by Israeli strikes in eastern Lebanon.
10:04In particular, the city of Baalabak,
10:06where rescuers are still looking for survivors in the rubble.
10:10An announcement made by the Ministry of Health,
10:13the famous Palmyr Hotel in the city,
10:16was also damaged by nearby strikes.
10:20The Ministry of Health said
10:22that two people have been killed.
10:25An Israeli strike also killed 16 people
10:28in the village of Nasiriyah.
10:30According to the ministry,
10:32rescue operations and debris
10:35from the rubble are being pursued
10:37to find the missing people.
10:39To emphasize the same source,
10:41the Israeli army has not issued an evacuation order
10:45for eastern Lebanon.
10:52Direction La Côte d'Ivoire,
10:54where the very first African Plants Fair
10:57takes place in Abidjan,
10:59from 5 to 9 November.
11:01A first edition that will honor African indigenous plants
11:06in a perspective of preservation
11:09and sustainable valorization.
11:12An event that promises to sensitize
11:14and mobilize around these vital resources.
11:18The Nere, the Baobab, the Karite,
11:21so many African plants with multiple virtues,
11:24used for centuries for food,
11:26care and even cultural rituals.
11:29These often wild species
11:31are now threatened by deforestation
11:33and climate change.
11:35In order to value African indigenous plants
11:38in a perspective of sustainable development,
11:41an African Plants Fair is organized in Abidjan
11:45at the initiative of the Association for African Plants.
11:49Since there are people who live
11:51from the economic exploitation of these species,
11:54it is to work with the actors
11:56so that we get more benefits.
12:00Already by preserving them,
12:02we can continue to benefit
12:04from what they have always brought us.
12:08And then we see to what extent
12:10we can benefit more.
12:14This first African Plants Fair,
12:16which also aims to highlight
12:18this unique flora
12:20and to encourage sustainable management
12:22of its resources,
12:23has brought together experts,
12:25researchers and enthusiasts.
12:27The first settlers, for example, were surprised
12:29to know that what we ate
12:31was not very rich in minerals, etc.
12:35But they did not see any signs of malnutrition.
12:38Precisely because the plants, for example,
12:41which grow naturally,
12:43could offer nutrients
12:45that complement this rich food by fertilizing.
12:49So you see that if these plants are harvested,
12:52we have problems, both in health and even for nutrition.
12:55This event also highlights
12:57well-known economic plants
12:59revealing their economic and therapeutic potential.
13:02We have everything in Africa here,
13:04we do not know the use of plants.
13:06This is a plant that is not even in the savannas.
13:09You have to clean the bottom of the water,
13:12because the leaves that fall there
13:15are the leaves that are impure.
13:18All this is natural.
13:20It means that we really preserve our plants.
13:23It is very important because it heals.
13:26We are here.
13:28We also have a problem with our medicines.
13:30We have problems with our eyes.
13:32We have problems with our ears.
13:34Everything that is dead.
13:36The African Plants Fair
13:38aims to be a platform for exchange
13:40and reflection
13:42to preserve the natural wealth of Africa.
13:46With the presence of the guest of the Grand Journal,
13:49Morning His Majesty,
13:51King Mohammed VI addressed this Wednesday,
13:53November 6, a speech to the nation
13:56on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Green March,
13:59an emblematic date that illustrates
14:01Morocco's peaceful commitment
14:03in favor of its territorial integrity.
14:05To come back to the main lines of this royal speech,
14:08we are live with Mr. Nabil Adel,
14:11teacher, researcher and director
14:14of the Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Research Group
14:18at ESCA.
14:20Hello Mr. Nabil Adel
14:22and thank you for being with us.
14:25Hello, thank you for the invitation.
14:28In this speech,
14:30His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
14:32highlighted the development dynamics
14:34that have transformed the Moroccan Sahara
14:37in recent years.
14:39Can you come back
14:41to the economic and social renewal
14:43of this region?
14:46Listen, I think that in the speech
14:48His Majesty was clear.
14:51Morocco has perspectives,
14:53perspectives of co-development,
14:56of improvement of living conditions
14:58in this region,
15:00at the level of the whole of Africa,
15:04since through the initiative
15:06of the Atlantic Front,
15:08it is not only the provinces
15:10in the south of Morocco
15:12that are developing,
15:14but it is an invitation to make
15:16all African countries
15:18who want access to the ocean
15:20benefit from this dynamic.
15:22It is in this perspective
15:24that His Majesty reminds
15:26that for the parties
15:28at the end of this file,
15:30if their goal
15:32is to have access to the Atlantic,
15:34there is no subject.
15:36Morocco has made an initiative
15:38that allows many countries
15:40to integrate the Atlantic Front.
15:42It is part of a more global logic
15:44where Morocco is trying to establish
15:46a new maritime front
15:48to make the two parts
15:50of the Atlantic Ocean
15:52communicate.
15:54In this perspective,
15:56we are trying to consider
15:58a global solution
16:00where, on the one hand,
16:02we stabilize the region,
16:04we stop this artificial conflict
16:06and we register it in a dynamic
16:08of socio-economic development.
16:10Another point to mention
16:12is the question of the Moroccan Sahara.
16:14The sovereign put forward
16:16the expansion of international support
16:18to the Moroccan Sahara,
16:20to the proposal of autonomy
16:22presented by the Kingdom
16:24as a realistic
16:26and sustainable solution
16:28to the conflict.
16:30Listen, I think
16:32it is a subject that begins
16:34to be folded.
16:36We must remain vigilant, of course.
16:38International relations are very volatile,
16:40very unstable, but I think
16:42that a majority of large countries
16:44have understood the artificial nature
16:46of this conflict
16:48and its potentially dangerous nature
16:50for the stability of the region.
16:52We don't need to create
16:54one in this area.
16:56I think that the great powers
16:58have begun to realize
17:00that maintaining
17:02this conflict
17:04has not solved anyone.
17:06On the contrary, it can be
17:08an additional foil of tensions
17:10with all its wave of threats
17:12for the south of Europe
17:14and for the region of the population in general.
17:16And so today
17:18we must find a way
17:20to manage the rest of this case.
17:22His Majesty reminded it
17:24in the opening speech of the Parliament.
17:26We are managing the rest of this case,
17:28but we must always remain vigilant
17:30because the maneuvers of certain parties
17:32will not stop there.
17:34And as His Majesty reminded it,
17:36we must not forget that in each country,
17:38when it has internal problems,
17:40it must create an external threat
17:42in order to be able to evacuate these problems.
17:44The sovereign has highlighted it well.
17:46And some countries will not let go
17:48of this case
17:50as long as it allows them
17:52to manage
17:54internal problems
17:56by exporting
17:58their difficulties.
18:00So I think that
18:02the general framework is outlined.
18:04We have the great powers
18:06who recognize the North of the Sahara
18:08and the seriousness of the autonomy plan.
18:10We are no longer talking about a referendum,
18:12even if certain parties
18:14continue to rekindle this old discourse.
18:16But no one is talking about a referendum,
18:18no one is talking about
18:20a Moroccan initiative.
18:22And today it is time to see
18:24the reality in front of us.
18:26Because to make this artificial conflict last
18:28is to make the suffering
18:30of the populations in Tindouf last
18:32at an extremely high human price
18:34and unfortunately,
18:36there is nothing good for the future of the region.
18:38His Majesty,
18:40King Mohamed VI
18:42called
18:44the UN
18:46to take responsibility
18:48on the question of the Sahara.
18:50The sovereign insisted on the importance
18:52for the UN to clarify
18:54the distinction between
18:56international legality
18:58and the parallel world
19:00in which certain parties
19:02continue to live.
19:04What should be heard
19:06by this call of the sovereign?
19:08Listen,
19:10I think that today
19:12what we know about
19:14the UN,
19:16especially the UN Security Council,
19:18is that it is the lethargy.
19:20We know where the law is,
19:22we know where legality is,
19:24but there are procedures so long
19:26that it is a big bureaucratic machine
19:28where there are issues of power
19:30and power relations
19:32and we instrumentalize
19:34certain affairs
19:36to settle national interests.
19:38We know which side
19:40this international legality is on
19:42and today the UN,
19:44the Security Council in particular,
19:46is called to take responsibility
19:48in resolving this conflict.
19:50It is clear, it is the Moroccan territory.
19:52Many countries recognize
19:58the autonomy plan as a serious
20:00and credible plan. What do we expect
20:02to get this file out
20:04once and for all
20:06of this institution
20:08and the solution to the party
20:10that wishes to see
20:12this problem
20:14end?
20:16In this sense, we must understand
20:18the call of His Majesty. The UN must
20:20get out of its bureaucratic logic
20:22where we try to please everyone,
20:24we try to stay in consensus
20:26at the cost of an
20:28endless extension of this conflict.
20:30Today, Morocco has established
20:32a reality on the territory,
20:34a strong reality,
20:36with a dissuasive power
20:38and a plan of economic
20:40and social development.
20:42The international legality
20:44is on our side.
20:46What is missing?
20:48Today, the UN and the Security Council
20:50must take responsibility
20:52and stop a good fight for us.
20:56This speech was also
20:58an opportunity to remind that Morocco
21:00was the artisan
21:02of an international initiative
21:04to facilitate the access
21:06of the states of the Sahel
21:08to the Atlantic Ocean.
21:10A word on this initiative
21:12that takes a regional
21:14cooperation approach?
21:16Listen, there are several
21:18elements in this initiative
21:20and we will say that
21:22the initiative is a culmination
21:24of many actions
21:26that have been undertaken by Morocco.
21:28The signing of the free trade agreement,
21:30the formation of
21:32the religious soft power,
21:34the large project of
21:36Nigerian-Moroccan gas
21:38that will
21:40go through a number of African countries,
21:42especially on the Atlantic coast.
21:44This project will allow many
21:46enclaved countries to have
21:48access to the Atlantic coast
21:50in terms of development,
21:52co-development and
21:54cooperation.
21:56Having access to the Atlantic
21:58will allow many countries
22:00to have access to markets
22:02such as the American market.
22:04And by American market,
22:06I mean from Canada to the Atlantic.
22:08So it opens up a considerable market
22:10for the products
22:12of West African countries
22:14and African countries in general.
22:16So it is at this level
22:18that the whole dynamic
22:20of the royal discourse takes place.
22:22Mr. Nabil Adel, the Sovereign
22:24announced a complete restructuring
22:26of institutions dedicated
22:28to the creation
22:30of two key entities.
22:32Can you tell us about this?
22:36It is an announcement
22:38that we discovered
22:40at the same time as the Moroccans.
22:42But we can understand
22:44the contours.
22:46First of all,
22:48it gives the emirates
22:50the weight and importance
22:52that they have in the
22:54nation's system.
22:56Today, the emirates
22:58are an economic force
23:00through the most effective transfer.
23:02It is a sort of power.
23:04The emirates defend
23:06the interests of the national cause
23:08all over the world.
23:10Today, we have an intelligence
23:12that includes sensitive positions
23:14both in large international institutions
23:16and in large universities
23:18around the world.
23:20Today, it is time
23:22to structure
23:24this organization
23:26by integrating them
23:28more to the mother country
23:30through the economic dimension
23:32of course,
23:34since His Majesty spoke
23:36of raising their weight
23:38in the private investment
23:40from 10% to more,
23:42but also in a cultural dimension,
23:44the language of the national language,
23:46the cultural element,
23:48the religious framework.
23:50These two instances must
23:52have a new vision.
23:56Mr. Nabil Adel,
23:58we are unfortunately
24:00at the end of our section.
24:02Thank you for this
24:04enlightenment. Thank you for answering
24:06our questions. I remind you that you are
24:08a teacher, researcher and director
24:10of the research group on geopolitics
24:12and geoeconomics
24:14at ESCA.
24:16Thank you for the invitation.
24:22This is the end of our edition.
24:24Thank you for following it.
24:26Stay with us. The information continues
24:28on Mediantec.
