00:21The entry into force of the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, a big step towards
00:26an escalation in the Middle East, a truce saluted around the world, we speak about it honestly.
00:31But just this truce entered into force, thousands of people took the road back after two months
00:43of open war between Israel and Hezbollah.
00:47The Namibians began today to vote for the most uncertain general elections that the
00:55Hezbollah has not yet won, and the Libyans are the only historical party in power.
01:00If in Gaza the weapons continue to ring, in Lebanon a truce has entered into force since
01:10this morning.
01:11It puts an end to more than two months of open war between Israel and Hezbollah.
01:17This truce, signed by France and the United States, includes the withdrawal of Hezbollah
01:23and the Israeli army from southern Lebanon.
01:26It is also planned to support the Lebanese army, it will thus have to regain the positions
01:33left by Assad and Hezbollah.
01:40Our feeling is indescribable.
01:43Lebanon has won, the state has won, the people have won.
01:47These are the words of a father in Lebanon.
01:50Just this truce entered into force, thousands of people took the road back after two months
01:57of open war between Israel and Hezbollah.

10:11In Guinea, in the face of the recession
10:14of rapes on minors, the government
10:17took advantage of the stay of activism
10:20against gender-based violence
10:23and started through the country
10:26to raise awareness.
10:29The frequency of violence based on gender
10:32is on the rise in Guinea.
10:35According to the Ministry in charge
10:38of Feminine Protection, more than 150 cases
10:41of rape were reported from January to September 2024.
10:44The last case of rape is that of an 8-year-old girl
10:47who unfortunately also lost her life.
10:50However, with the greatest rigour
10:53this heinous crime,
10:56the government brings to the knowledge
10:59of national and international opinion
11:02the taking of the three measures below.
11:05The seizure of the Prosecutor of the Republic
11:08near the court of first instance of Dubrica
11:11and the opening of an investigation
11:14to arrest and translate in front of the competent
11:18The tightening of the criminal policy
11:21so that no mitigating circumstances
11:24are accepted by the courts
11:27in favor of presumed perpetrators
11:30and rapists.
11:33The intensification of action
11:36to raise awareness in view of a greater
11:39dissemination of legal and regulatory
11:42provisions on rapes.
11:45The government is working hard
11:48to eradicate rape and all forms of sexual violence.
11:51Efforts are being made by the government
11:54through competent services
11:57to fight against violence based on the genre.
12:00Today, civil society organizations
12:03in the criminal code are authorized
12:06to prosecute perpetrators
12:09even if the family or the victim gives up.
12:12The procedure continues,
12:15the civil society organizations continue.
12:18This is a major step forward.
12:21Today, we do not wait for the sitting.
12:24We do not wait for the sitting,
12:27but we deal with the case by case.
12:30The follow-up is allowed.
12:33We do not hide anything.
12:36During these 16 days of activism,
12:39Minister Guineyan of Justice
12:42promised that the social and cultural
12:45perpetrators would no longer prevent justice
12:48from passing the law.
12:51In this context, the CDAO has initiated
12:54the youth seats in four pilot countries
12:57that are Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Benin.
13:00The objective is to give the floor
13:03to the young people of the sub-region
13:06who have been mandated to conduct
13:09and animate consultations in Dakar
13:12through the National Youth Forum.
13:15This is a report by Abdelrahim Bari and Sheikh N'Daou.
13:18Engaging the CDAO for a new vision
13:21on youth is the theme chosen
13:24by the youth seats of the Economic Community
13:27of the States of Africa of the CDAO in Senegal.
13:30The event took place through a National Youth Forum.
13:33It was attended by university students,
13:36professionals and international experts
13:39under the presidency of the Senegalese Minister of Youth.
13:42First of all, I would like to address
13:45my warmest greetings to the CDAO.
13:48In the meantime, there are already
13:51several issues that will be addressed
13:54during this forum.
13:57Among other things, there is the issue
14:00of citizen engagement
14:03and also the issue of youth.
14:06This will also be addressed.
14:09The CDAO is planning a new vision
14:12for the young people of West Africa
14:15through this forum.
14:18I think that what we have just done
14:21is important for us because it will allow us
14:24in 2025, because it will be for us
14:27with the 50 years of the CDAO
14:30to have a new offer for the youth
14:33of break-up policies.
14:36At the same time, it also allows us
14:39for each country where the Dialogue
14:42and the National Forum will be held
14:45to give our contribution to the reflection
14:48of youth in each country.
14:51This youth regional seat brings together
14:54and co-construct solutions.
14:57Above all, it is necessary to salute
15:00the inclusive approach.
15:03This forum has really allowed us
15:06to be able to talk, we young people
15:09who live the problems,
15:12to be able to talk about our concerns
15:15and try to bring solutions.
15:18It is the expectation.
15:21I think it is the relevance of this forum.
15:24It should be noted that on the occasion
15:27of this National Youth Consultation,
15:30a check of $300,000 was awarded
15:33to the National Olympic Committee of Senegal
15:36by the CDAO.
15:39A support from the sub-regional organization
