00:00The International Marrakech Film Festival has sent us this evening our special shipment in a moment.
00:31The 29th of November is the International Day of Support for the Palestinian People,
00:35the occasion to highlight the injustice and the question of the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.
00:44The Gaza Strip has sunk into anarchy according to the UN.
00:47The head of the Human Rights Office of the UN in Palestine, after his last visit to Gaza,
00:51described the situation as horrible with thousands of people displaced in inhumane conditions.
01:00We open this news with the International Marrakech Film Festival.
01:18The official shipment of the International Marrakech Film Festival has been given this evening.
01:22A festival that continues to attract the greatest names in cinema.
01:25At the occasion of this cinema mass, placed under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
01:30this 21st edition sees a selection of 71 films from 32 countries.
01:41The official shipment of the International Marrakech Film Festival has been given.
01:44Our special shipment tells us more.
01:47It's a great year in terms of programming, films, but also personalities.
01:56You have seen that this year we have 15 cinema lessons.
01:59It's the only festival in the world that has two cinema lessons per day.
02:04So even at the Cannes Film Festival, they only have two or three in 15 days.
02:09We have two per day.
02:11This is a novelty.
02:14We have a lot of things.
02:16We have the cinema avenue, which will be magnificent with animations.
02:21We have the Maiden Theater, where the cinema lessons will take place.
02:26We also have the critical workshops,
02:28where we will also, with a very, very large international film critic,
02:32help all these young people who want to become film critics.
02:37So a lot of new things to help young people here in Morocco,
02:43in the Middle East and in Africa.
02:45This year we have a selection of a great diversity, with films of all genres.
02:49We will present 71 films from 32 countries,
02:52with, as I said, a great diversity of films.
02:56We will find drama, comedy, romantic comedy,
03:01police films, thrillers, political documentaries.
03:04So we are really on a very large diversity,
03:07to be able to include all audiences at the festival this year.
03:12I also remind you that almost all film screenings are presented by film crews.
03:18So they travel here in Marrakech to meet the festival audience.
03:22And often we also organize debates at the end of the screenings.
03:26So I really invite viewers to come and attend this festival,
03:30which is open and free.
03:32As a reminder, you just have to go to the festival's website
03:35to request an accreditation,
03:37to be able to access all the screenings and the festival's various activities.
03:55The United Nations commemorates this Friday
03:57the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People,
04:00held in a particularly painful context, according to the UN chief,
04:03underlining that the objectives of dignity,
04:05rights, justice and self-determination remain far away.
04:08This day allows us to give the opportunity to focus
04:11on the fact that the question of Palestine is not yet resolved
04:14and that the Palestinian people are not yet free of these unalienable rights
04:17as defined by the General Assembly,
04:19namely the right to self-determination,
04:21interference and independence.
04:26On this occasion, Morocco reiterated on Friday
04:28its constant solidarity with the Palestinian people
04:31and its commitment to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state
04:34with the 1967 borders,
04:36with the East Coast as the capital,
04:39the explanations with Sourheil Chalil.
04:43Ending the aggression, obtaining justice for the victims
04:46and supporting the unalienable rights of the Palestinian people.
04:50As many appeals were launched by several diplomats
04:52accredited to Addis Ababa,
04:54representatives of UN agencies
04:56and other personalities.
04:58Faced with the atrocity of continuous violations,
05:01in violation of all humanitarian, legal and moral principles,
05:04the Palestinian people no longer only need solidarity and sympathy,
05:08but rather to recover their right to self-determination
05:12and to end the occupation.
05:19I would like to recall the firm position of the African Union
05:21in relation to Palestine.
05:23First of all, we condemn the war crimes perpetrated by the Israeli occupier
05:26who inhabited Gaza.
05:28Then, we call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
05:32We also call for talks that will ultimately
05:35cover up the Palestinian people
05:37of their legitimate, unalienable and prescribable rights.
05:40Also, after having accomplished these objectives,
05:43we call on the international community
05:45to join its efforts to fix the fate of the Palestinians.
05:53In a speech, the Moroccan Ambassador to Ethiopia,
05:56Djibouti Nzahalewi-Mhamdi,
05:58emphasized that a true peace in the Middle East
06:00must guarantee the Palestinians their legitimate rights
06:03as part of the two-state solution
06:05in the face of the tragic situation in Gaza.
06:17I would like to recall the message addressed by
06:19the President of the United Nations Committee
06:21for the Exercise of Unalienable Rights of the Palestinian People,
06:24Mr. Cheikh Niang,
06:26on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity
06:28with the Palestinian People.
06:30A message in which His Majesty
06:32emphasized that the Kingdom of Morocco
06:34reaffirms the need to achieve
06:36an immediate and sustainable ceasefire
06:38in the Gaza Strip
06:39and the cessation of repeated attacks
06:41aimed at the peaceful populations in
06:43Sijordani and al-Quds
06:44and to ensure the protection of civilians
06:46on all Palestinian territories
06:48and to prevent them from being targeted
06:50and to put them at risk of death.
06:52The sovereign also indicated that the Kingdom
06:54insists on the need to proceed
06:56without conditions or reservations
06:58to an immediate and permanent opening
07:00of all points of passage,
07:02to preserve, reinforce and support
07:04the mission of the Office of Rescue
07:06and the work of the United Nations
07:08for the Refugees of Palestine in the Near East,
07:10to refuse all movement of Palestinian citizens
07:12and to ensure the total respect of international law
07:15and humanitarian international law
07:17and to launch serious and constructive negotiations
07:20to revive the peace process
07:22in accordance with the resolutions
07:24of the United Nations and international law.
07:30On the eve of the Day of Solidarity,
07:32the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco
07:34organized an exhibition illustrating
07:36the role of King Mohammed VI
07:38as President of the Al-Quds Committee
07:40in the support and promotion of the rights
07:42of the Palestinian people,
07:44recalling that the International Day
07:46of Solidarity with Palestine traditionally
07:48offers the international community
07:50the opportunity to focus its attention
07:52on the fact that the question of Palestine
07:54is not yet settled
07:56and that the Palestinian people
07:58do not yet enjoy their inalienable rights,
08:00namely the right to self-determination
08:02without external interference,
08:04the right to independence and national sovereignty
08:06and the right of Palestinians
08:08to return to their homes
08:10where they have been displaced.
08:12Corpses, squalor, famine and fear
08:14have become the motto of life
08:16for the Palestinians.
08:18The Gaza Strip has darkened
08:20in anarchy, according to the UN.
08:22The head of the UN Human Rights Bureau
08:24in the Palestinian territories
08:26after his last visit to Gaza
08:28described the situation as horrible
08:30with thousands of displaced people
08:32who took refuge in inhumane conditions
08:34with serious food shortages
08:36and terrible sanitary conditions.
08:38The Israeli attacks killed more than 44,000 people.
08:40I propose to listen to the head
08:42Every time I visit Gaza
08:44the level of destruction
08:46makes me feel desperate.
08:48This time I was particularly alarmed
08:50by the prevalence of hunger.
08:52After 13 months of unrelenting violence,
08:54the threat of death by hunger,
08:56disease or bombing
08:58is now non-existent.
09:00Local markets
09:02are now non-existent.
09:04Human rights are unable
09:06to take any humanitarian aid
09:08into northern Gaza
09:10where around 70,000 people
09:12have been rejected
09:14by humanitarian convoys.
09:16The Lebanese army accuses Israel
09:18of having repeatedly violated
09:20the ceasefire agreement
09:22of the Israeli Prime Minister
09:24who had threatened
09:26yesterday that an intensive war
09:28in the event of a violation
09:30of the truce with Hezbollah
09:32and a truce entered into force
09:34the day before
09:36had already begun.
09:38A few hours earlier,
09:40the Israeli army announced
09:42that it had launched a strike
09:44in southern Lebanon.
09:46The Lebanese army,
09:48which began to deploy
09:50armed troops in the south,
09:52accused Israel of having
09:54repeatedly violated
09:56the ceasefire agreement.
09:58At the end of a visit to Beirut,
10:00the French special envoy,
10:02Jean-Yves Le Drian,
10:04emphasized the urgency
10:06to prevent the election
10:08of a head of state.
10:10The Lebanese Prime Minister
10:12had expressed hope
10:14that the ceasefire agreement
10:16would open a new page
10:18in the history of Lebanon.
10:20In Syria, a branch of the army
10:22and its allies carried out
10:24a large-scale offensive
10:26in the northwest of the country,
10:28an offensive that killed
10:30more than 277 people
10:32according to the Syrian Observatory
10:34and wounded around 50 locals.
10:38On the third day of the work,
10:40the participants of a panel
10:42organized this Friday in Tangier
10:44in the context of the 16th edition
10:46of the Met Day Forum
10:48discussed sovereignty,
10:50resilience and world balance.
10:52The report is by Emma Feckley.
10:54Sovereignty, resilience
10:56and world balance,
10:58three vital notions,
11:00especially in a geopolitical context
11:02like the 16th edition
11:04of the International Forum of the Met Days.
11:06This forum in the south,
11:08which is on its third day this Friday,
11:10has already housed
11:12about twenty panels.
11:14Debates continue
11:16between the different speakers
11:18from more than 100 countries.
11:20Several themes have been analyzed
11:22and discussed this morning
11:24and several others will be addressed
11:26this afternoon,
11:28ranging from medical sovereignty
11:30to energy sovereignty,
11:32to blockchain and artificial intelligence,
11:34as well as the role of Morocco
11:36in African solidarity
11:38and global diplomacy.
11:40And just like these last two days,
11:42you can stay up to date
11:44on this essential meeting
11:46thanks in particular
11:48to the coverage of Median,
11:50which continues until the closing
11:52of this 16th edition of the Met Days
11:54which takes place tomorrow evening.
11:56Transforming lessons
11:58learned from health crises
12:00into investment strategies,
12:02integrating research and innovation
12:04into health systems
12:06to ensure long-term resilience,
12:08two goals long debated
12:10during panels organized
12:12during the 16th edition
12:14of the Met Days Forum.
12:18Covid-19, Ebola,
12:20Mpox,
12:22global health crises
12:24continue to aggravate
12:26international concerns.
12:28Achieving universal
12:30health sovereignty
12:32has become more and more
12:34obvious. Recent
12:36pandemics have highlighted
12:38critical gaps in
12:40health systems around the world,
12:42revealing vulnerabilities
12:44that have considerable
12:46economic, social and environmental
12:48consequences.
12:50Health is a right
12:52and what I defend
12:54is that
12:56the fight against inequalities
12:58is one of the best ways
13:00to ensure that access to health
13:02is a reality for all.
13:04We know there are basic
13:06public health principles.
13:08The more health gaps
13:10within a population,
13:12the worse the overall health
13:14will be. If there is any interest
13:16for everyone, for a country,
13:18access to health is the best
13:20and we must fight against inequalities.
13:22Long-term policies are vital
13:24thanks to strategic investments
13:26that not only improve
13:28health care infrastructure
13:30but also promote
13:32greater national autonomy
13:34in public health management.
13:36Investment in health must go
13:38beyond short-term solutions.
13:40It must support
13:42sustainable policies that stimulate
13:44research, innovation
13:46and training of health professionals.
13:48We see that
13:50there are still things to do,
13:52especially on the continent.
13:54First of all, human resources
13:56because there is an exodus of human resources,
13:58there is an insufficiency and therefore
14:00we will have to train more,
14:02with better quality,
14:04adapted to current technologies
14:06and new diseases.
14:08The second point is prevention,
14:10prevention that will allow
14:12to reduce expenses
14:14and the number of diseases
14:16and finally research.
14:18You have two types of research.
14:20There is the commonly
14:22classical research,
14:24the one that comes to mind
14:26and the biomedical research,
14:28the one that makes the great discoveries in the world.
14:32Prioritizing the local production
14:34of essential medical equipment
14:36is a crucial step
14:38to reduce dependence
14:40on the world's supply chains.
14:42Countries must now
14:44put in place more resistant
14:46health systems
14:48that offer more suitable
14:50and equitable solutions
14:52to the needs of diverse populations.
14:54By transforming international solidarity
14:56into tangible action,
14:58it becomes vital to create a world
15:00where each country can guarantee
15:02access to quality health care
15:04to its citizens,
15:06while being prepared to face
15:08future health challenges.
15:10Let's stay in Tangier,
15:12which houses the 16th edition
15:14of the May Days Forum,
15:16an essential meeting of global diplomacy.
15:18Among the personalities
15:20who participated in the debate,
15:22Mamadou Tangara,
15:24Minister of Foreign Affairs
15:26of Gambia,
15:28in an interview,
15:30talks about Morocco's contribution
15:32to peace in Africa
15:34and especially in Gambia.
15:36I invite you to listen to him.
15:38In a discreet way,
15:40or sometimes
15:42very discreetly,
15:44to help resolve conflicts.
15:46I take the case of my country,
15:48Gambia. Many people don't know
15:50but when we have a political impasse,
15:52Morocco intervenes.
15:54Morocco's intervention
15:56was decisive
16:00in resolving
16:02this latent crisis.
16:04It was done discreetly
16:06because it was a poor center.
16:08It was very effective.
16:10Peace and stability
16:12and the sine qua non condition
16:14so that we can
16:16realize this gas dream
16:18between Nigeria
16:20and Morocco.
16:22In Tunisia, the NAWED Association
16:24for Citizen Action launched a discussion
16:26on the role of civil society.
16:28The participants confirmed
16:30that there is a political will
16:32behind the decline of associations
16:34and the growing populist tendency
16:36in the country. Najwa Bechat tells us more.
16:40What is the role of civil society
16:42after the presidential elections
16:44of 2024?
16:46A question asked by many
16:48civil society activists in Tunisia
16:50who denounced the growing decline
16:52of their role since
16:54President Khesse Saïd
16:56took office.
17:00The decline of civil society's role
17:02in Tunisia was motivated
17:04by the political will
17:06to dry up the sources of all
17:08intermediate organizations.
17:10The political parties were first targeted
17:12and then the organizations
17:14of civil society.
17:16The president's approach
17:18was clear from the beginning
17:20as long as he linked
17:22civil society's work
17:24to foreign financing
17:26and money laundering.
17:28What we see today
17:30is the decline
17:32of civil society's role
17:34in Tunisia
17:36because of legislation
17:38or lawsuits
17:40that affected many
17:42civil society activists.
17:44With the current political system
17:46and the rise of political populism,
17:48associations' role
17:50has decreased.
17:52There is also a campaign
17:54aimed at demonizing
17:56civil society's role.
17:58There are between 7,000 and 8,000 associations
18:00of which only
18:02180 are active.
18:08The reality of civil society
18:10today is frightening.
18:12Some associations are subject
18:14to judicial procedures.
18:16Despite this, civil society
18:18is called to pursue
18:20these activities, to monitor
18:22governmental structures
18:24and to try to find
18:26solutions to all problems.
18:28President Kays Saayed
18:30suspects that the world of associations
18:32serves the interests
18:34of foreign forces.
18:36As part of his fight against
18:38money laundering and terrorism financing,
18:40he has placed
18:42non-governmental organizations
18:44under the control and supervision
18:46of the Ministry of the Interior
18:48while limiting their financial resources.
18:50According to civil society activists,
18:52these measures threaten
18:54the loss of around
18:5630,000 direct jobs
18:58and up to 100,000 indirect jobs.
19:00Abidjan is becoming
19:02the center of extractive and energy resources
19:04during the first edition
19:06of the International Resource Salon.
19:08Local artisans, international experts
19:10and political decision-makers are meeting
19:12to think about a sustainable future for the sector.
19:14Mel Bershel and Wilfred Manganin

19:20the treasures of the forge,
19:22combining ancestral know-how
19:24and contemporary creativity,
19:26embody the Ivorian artisan heritage.
19:28Forgeron's main activity
19:30is the work of the iron.
19:32It deals with extraction,
19:34transformation,
19:36production and even commercialization.
19:38We have small knives,
19:40we have the dabba,
19:42we have the rouchers, we have the clousettes.
19:44Everything is already finished.
19:46But we have moved
19:48a big furnace to just present
19:50how Forgeron works
19:52in a village-like way.
19:54Under the theme of sustainable development
19:56of extractive and energy industries,
19:58what policies and strategies?
20:00The first edition of the International Salon
20:02of Extractive and Energy Resources
20:04CIREX in Abidjan
20:06aims to position the Ivory Coast
20:08as a key player
20:10in the mining and energy sector.
20:12This Salon also
20:14gives the opportunity
20:16to private actors
20:18as well as multilateral institutions
20:20and public actors
20:22to forge partnerships
20:24and make important announcements
20:26that will impact
20:28their companies,
20:30their countries and the climate.
20:32With more than 300 exhibitors
20:34and 20,000 visitors waiting,
20:36this event favors
20:38South-South and North-South partnerships
20:40while honoring
20:42Norway, a special guest
20:44for its expertise in
20:46extractive and renewable energy.
20:48It is also urgent
20:50for Africa to respond
20:52to growing expectations
20:54in terms of local transformation
20:56of extractive resources
20:58and development of connected services
21:00in order to maximize
21:02their added value
21:04and create jobs.
21:06First edition in Ivory Coast,
21:08CIREX 2024 opens the way
21:10to a better understanding
21:12of the issues of extractive industries.
21:14The event will last five days
21:16to explore the potential,
21:18discover innovations
21:20and participate in conferences
21:22hosted by world experts.
21:24The Chad announced
21:26the end of the security and defense
21:28agreements with Paris,
21:30an announcement made a few hours
21:32after a visit of the French
21:34head of diplomacy,
21:36Jean-Noël Barrault.
21:38The Chad government informs
21:40the national and international
21:42affairs office of Chad
21:44on the ministry's Facebook page.
21:48In Senegal,
21:50the president indicated
21:52in an interview to French media
21:54that France would have to close
21:56its military bases in Senegal.
21:58Senegal is an independent country,
22:00a sovereign country,
22:02and sovereignty does not accommodate
22:04the presence of military bases
22:06in a sovereign country.
22:08Regarding the commemoration
22:10of the Tiaroé massacre,
22:12the Senegalese government
22:14has taken many measures.
22:16Our correspondent in Dakar
22:18tells us more.
22:20Regarding the events,
22:22the 80th anniversary
22:24of the Tiaroé massacre
22:26is very important
22:28and holds in high esteem
