01:11The Gulf Cooperation Council reiterates its position in favor of the Moroccan Sahara and the preservation of the security and stability of the Kingdom of Morocco and its territorial integrity.
01:34In the final statement, published at the end of its 45th summit held in Kuwait, the Supreme Council of the CCG saluted the resolution of the UN Security Council last October concerning the Moroccan Sahara and insisted on respecting the sovereignty of the states.
01:53In addition, the Supreme Council highlighted the importance of the strategic partnership between the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Kingdom of Morocco.
02:07President Bashar al-Assad sought support from his allies after losing control of Aleppo, the second city in Syria, during a rebellious offensive.
02:22It is the first time since the beginning of the war in Syria in 2011 that the regime has lost control of this northern city, a bloodthirsty rear inflicted by a coalition of rebel groups.
02:36In Damascus, the head of Iran's diplomacy, Abbas al-Arshi Bashar al-Assad, highlighted the importance of the support of allies and friends to face these attacks.
02:46Russia said that its air forces helped the Syrian army to repel the rebels in the provinces of Idlib, Hama and Aleppo, while Iran reiterated its firm support for the Assad regime.
03:00The violence, the first of its magnitude since 2020, is a sign of a resumption of hostilities on a large scale in a country divided into several areas of influence, where the belligerents are supported by different regional and international forces.
03:14In the United States, Donald Trump announced yesterday the appointment of the Lebanese businessman.
03:24Al-Assad works as a counselor for the Middle East.
03:31Al-Assad is a good negotiator and an unwavering supporter of peace in the Middle East.
03:36He will be a ardent defender of the United States and their interests, wrote the elected American president.
03:43While the conflict between Israel and Hamas has been mining the region for more than a year.
03:48Republican for a long time.
03:50Boulos built his fortune in the sale of automobiles in Nigeria, the marriage in 2022 of his son Michael Boulos with one of his daughters, Donald Trump, Tiffany.
04:01He propelled her into the intimate circle of the billionaire, newly elected to the White House.
04:06He actively took part in the presidential campaign by getting involved to convince the Arab community of certain key states to vote for Donald Trump.
04:17Direction, now, Guinea, where clashes this Sunday between supporters during a football match have made at least dozens of deaths in Nazaré, Korea.
04:28In the south-east of the country, supporters in anger vandalized and set fire to the Nazaré police station, according to witnesses.
04:35Everything started from a protest of a decision of the referee.
04:39Supporters then invaded the air of play, said a witness.
04:43According to the press, it was a tournament dedicated to President Mamadi Doumbouya.
04:48Such tournaments proliferated in recent weeks in Guinea, which is seen as events in support of a possible candidacy of Doumbouya for the next presidential election.
04:59And in the rest of the news, President Chadien assured yesterday that his country, the last to shelter French forces in the Sahel, had put an end to military agreements with Paris.
05:14However, they envisaged a logic of replacement of a power by another to raise any ambiguity.
05:21This decision of rupture does not constitute in any case a rejection of French cooperation or a resumption in question of our diplomatic relations with France, said General Mahmoud Idriss Déby.
05:33A few days after the surprise announcement of the rupture of his agreements with his traditional ally, which went back to the independence of the country,
05:42France has already been forced to evacuate its troops from Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger between 2022 and 2023.
05:50The Senegalese President Bassir Odiou Maïfaï also said on Thursday that France would have to close its military bases in Senegal.
05:59I invite you to listen to the precision of President Chadien Mahmoud Idriss Déby.
06:07I want to clarify, to raise any ambiguity, that this decision of rupture does not constitute in any case a rejection of international cooperation or a resumption in question of our diplomatic relations with France.
06:26This decision was not taken lightly. It is the result of a deep reflection and a thorough assessment.
06:38It is the result of a deep reflection and a thorough assessment. It is the result of a deep reflection and a thorough assessment.
07:05We have therefore decided to put an end to this military cooperation to reorient our partnership with France on areas that will have a positive impact on the daily lives of our respective populations.
07:24This is one of the most tragic pages in Franco-African history.
07:2980 years ago, day by day, in Senegal, the French army opened fire on its own men,
07:37groupers in the camp of Tiaroy, who demanded the payment of their salaries but also the recognition of their sacrifices during the Second World War.
07:49A massacre commemorated yesterday in Senegal.
07:52This anniversary symbolizes not only a duty of memory but also a quest for justice and historical truth.
08:02Regis Moukila, Echart N'Daou.
08:06To restore the honor of the African snipers unjustly massacred on December 1, 1944 by France, this is the symbolic scope of this commemoration.
08:17An event marked by the presence of several African heads of state.
08:2180 years later, the pain remains.
08:29The Senegalese president stressed the emotional burden of this event, which continues to haunt the families of the victims.
08:36He saluted the official recognition by France of the massacre of Tiaroy and exhorted his French counterpart to go further in the search for truth.
08:45By duty of memory, truth and justice, we cannot forget the horror of the summary executions here in the camp of Tiaroy.
08:56It is imperative to recall history, all history, without too much memory.
09:03This is what founds the universal essence of the values of peace, freedom and equal dignity attached to human nature.
09:13Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, all these reasons have strengthened our conviction to commemorate the anniversary of the massacre of Tiaroy.
09:21The French Minister of Foreign Affairs has reaffirmed France's commitment to establish historical facts.
09:28He also promised increased support to preserve the legacy of the snipers.
09:33The President of the Republic wrote to you, Mr. President, to tell you that France must recognize that this day triggered a chain of events that resulted in a massacre.
09:47And if France recognizes this massacre, it also does so for itself, because it does not accept that such an injustice can stain its history.
09:57The President, in the exercise of the African Union, for his part, insisted on the importance of solidarity between African nations, having shared this colonial past.
10:08The continued efforts of the African Union and its Member States to achieve this goal are a daily hymn to the snipers of Tiaroy.
10:20And there is no more magnificent celebration in the spirit of Tiaroy than to tighten our ranks and strengthen our efforts to achieve the objectives of our Agenda 2063, which translates the aspirations of the African peoples.
10:36By this commemoration, Senegal turns a painful page of its history while highlighting it.
10:43December 1 is now established as the National Day of the Snipers.
10:50Always in connection with this commemoration of the history of the massacre of Tiaroy, this decision of the head of the Senegalese State, Massé Radio Maïfaï, will be integrated into Senegal.
11:01It aims to pass on to future generations the lessons of this tragedy.
11:06Let's meet our correspondents in Dakar, Régis Moukila and Jérôme Dord.
11:10The presence of many students has given a particular dimension to the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Tiaroy 44.
11:18Until a period, the Senegalese educational sector had little resources on this dark page of national history.
11:25Here, in Tiaroy, blood flows in tears.
11:31The announcement of the establishment of a scientific commission dedicated to the study of the massacre of Tiaroy was widely saluted by the teaching staff.
11:39We are confident of the scientific team that was chosen to be able to list the number of soldiers killed during the massacre.
11:47It will change, of course, because this change is for the families.
11:53The students, having participated in this first historical commemoration, have expressed their emotions.
11:59For them, this event is a unique opportunity to better understand the sacrifices made by the Senegalese snipers.
12:06It is really symbolic for our country. Many people do not measure the extent of this situation.
12:11They take it lightly, while many families have lost their fathers, their brothers, their support.
12:18Hope was destroyed like that, by flames.
12:22The history of the massacre of Tiaroy will now be integrated into the curricula.
12:27This decision of the head of the Senegalese state aims to transmit to future generations a memorial richness on this sad tragedy.
12:36Most students do not know the true history of Tiaroy 44.
12:40So, if they put this story in our schools to teach us, it is a great initiative.
12:47Because it will teach us to know what our history is, what the meaning of Tiaroy 44 is, and we will know our values.
12:56By writing this new page of history, Senegal honors its heroes and reaffirms its commitment to never forget them.
13:05In Nigeria, the federal government has decided to implement the new raw oil sales mechanism based on Naira.
13:14Last October, the ambition of the government was to reduce the pressure on Naira and lower the price of oil at the pump,
13:22against major difficulties, while Nigerians continue to buy oil at high prices, exceeding one Naira per liter.
13:33The report by Jiber Thomba in Abuja.
13:38When President Bolatinebou ordered the sale of oil to Naira, the goal was to lower the price of oil at the pump,
13:46but also to support the local economy and reduce the pressure on foreign currency reserves.
13:53Barely two months after the launch, the hope of seeing this goal come true is fading.
14:00First and foremost, we have refineries in Nigeria.
14:04The measure does not work. We have refineries in Nigeria, in Porarkour and Kaduna.
14:09How much does it cost to repair them?
14:11Now, Don Goté, with his personal money, wants to build a private refinery in Nigeria.
14:16We must rejoice at this achievement, because it will lower the price of oil.
14:21It is not a crime to buy oil at 200 Naira.
14:24Is there a crime for us to buy oil at 200?
14:27The decision of the federal government to implement the new mechanism of selling oil to Naira faces some difficulties.
14:35Not only that, the exchange rate between Naira and the dollar is more than 1,700 Naira for a dollar,
14:41and the price of oil at the pump is more than 1,000 Naira per liter.
14:46A situation that forces this lawyer to dominate his movements.
14:50It has limited my activities in such a way that I only go out to do basic things.
14:55It is simply for such activities that I move.
14:58Maybe to go to prayer. I don't pay visits to anyone anymore.
15:02And that's how it is.
15:05The strategic initiative and the bold measure taken by the administration led by President Bola Dinobu
15:11should have a lasting impact on the Nigerian economy,
15:15favoring growth, stability and prosperity.
15:19Especially since the country continues to navigate in the complexities of global markets.
15:24So, would the Nigerian government's plan be a speedy loss?
15:29The answer of Kelvin Emmanuel, oil expert.
15:32I'll be frank with you when I tell you that the sale of raw oil in Naira has collapsed.
15:38In October, the NNPC provided only a small amount of oil to Naira.
15:43I'll tell you that the sale of raw oil in Naira has collapsed.
15:46In October, the NNPC provided only a small amount of oil to Naira.
15:50And since then, it has not provided any.
15:52And in fact, these small amounts of oil were not paid at 100% in Naira.
15:56It was 60% in Naira and 40% in dollars.
15:59So, only a small amount of oil and then the program has collapsed.
16:06The oil sector plays a considerable role in the Nigerian economy.
16:10The most populous country in the Black Continent, one of the three largest oil-producing countries in Africa,
16:15has faced chronic foreign currency shortages in recent years.
16:20A crisis that led the federal authorities to devalue Naira, its local currency, twice in 2023.
16:29We go to Tunisia.
16:31In the face of the blockade of social dialogue with the countries' authorities for more than two years,
16:36the 5th National Congress of Social Movements has been launched.
16:40Participants are looking for solutions to re-mobilize themselves
16:43in the face of the hostile political climate of trade unions.
16:47Nejoa Becha, from Tunisia.
16:52A new meeting of the annual conference of protest movements
16:56took place this year at the headquarters of the National Union of Labour,
17:00at a time when the political power was closing all the doors of dialogue to social organizations.
17:08There is a stifling economic crisis that has directly affected the social situation
17:13in terms of a decrease in purchasing power, an increase in the number of unemployed
17:18and also an increase in the rate of poverty,
17:21with the return of the iron fist in state relations with organizations.
17:29At the meeting, the Tunisian League for Human Rights and the Association of Democratic Women
17:35once again mentioned the decline of rights and freedoms,
17:39emphasizing that the government has become an obstacle for many organizations,
17:44making them unable to mobilize and claim social and economic rights.
17:52By criminalizing the work of associations,
17:56the political power is now trying to limit the work of its activists.
18:01For its part, the Tunisian League for Human Rights and the Association of Democratic Women
18:05will not abandon its role and will stand on the side of demonstrators
18:10and those who claim their legitimate rights,
18:13while demanding that these rights stipulated in international agreements
18:17and even in the Tunisian constitution are guaranteed.
18:27Today's meeting is an opportunity for organizations, associations
18:31and even political parties to discuss new forms of struggle
18:36so that the voices of the oppressed and the poor are heard.
18:42Despite the restrictions, the Tunisian social observatory
18:45has shown an increase in protest actions
18:48marked by growing social and economic demands.
18:52In October 2024, social movements in Tunisia intensified
18:58with a total of 300 protest actions,
19:02an increase of 9% compared to the previous month.
19:06Protests are largely dominated by economic and social demands,
19:12with a strong involvement of workers, teachers
19:16and populations affected by the ongoing economic and social crisis.
19:21The demands also include unfulfilled electoral promises.
19:29And right now, our page dedicated to the International Film Festival in Marrakech.
19:42The 21st edition of the International Film Festival in Marrakech
19:50Reaction in the city of Aucre, where the 21st edition of the International Film Festival in Marrakech continues.
19:57On this occasion, the 7th edition of the Atlas workshops has been launched.
20:02It is a professional platform that accompanies young filmmakers.
20:09The supported projects come from 13 different countries.
20:13A gauge of the opening of the event to all of Africa and the Arab world,
20:18while the consultants come from 13 countries,
20:21offering rich and varied expertise.
20:24I invite you to listen to the reactions of a Moroccan director,
20:28a foreigner, to the microphone of our special envoy, Elham Barad.
20:34Well, I am extremely happy to see that since Sofia,
20:42it is now 7 years old, and that in 7 years,
20:46my generation, the generation of filmmakers who are mine,
20:50and in which I fully recognize myself,
20:52there are more and more films being made, absolutely fabulous films.
20:56And so, having this focus during the festival,
21:03and that there is this moment in which we can help emerging films, etc.,
21:10I find it essential, because it is certainly an international festival,
21:14the Marrakech Festival, but that there are moments dedicated to Moroccan cinema,
21:18it is absolutely crucial, because I have a huge trust in the films that are made and created.
21:24And every year, I am more and more subjugated by what I discover,
21:28and I find it important and great.
21:31Indeed, it is the first time that I participate in this workshop,
21:34which is beneficial for Africans, because it is an important and practical meeting,
21:39because we have projects, and my project is a first feature film,
21:43and I need to meet other professionals,
21:46and listen to them, and also share my work,
21:49to be able to have feedback, to better work on my project,
21:53before moving on to filming.
21:55And so, the workshop, for us, is really a gift.
21:59It is a gift, and you know, there are many Africans who are here,
22:02and who work for this.
22:04This morning, we started workshops on acting,
22:08we heard about our projects.
22:11In the afternoon, we will work on the filming,
22:14to see how we will film our projects.
22:18I think it is a workshop to continue to do for other Africans as well.
22:38That's all for the news.
22:41Thank you for staying with us.
22:43The information continues on Mediantv.
