00:00We are still together on MEDIEN TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are the titles of your newspaper.
00:21How can we ensure that the word crisis is no longer stuck to Libya? To find an answer to this question in Morocco, the city of Bosnia welcomes again the work of the consultative meeting between the House of Representatives of Libya and the High Council of State of Libya.
00:38Nearly ten days after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, the UN Security Council calls for an inclusive political process led by the Syrians.
00:52Hamas calls for serious and positive discussions led in Qatar in order to silence the weapons in Gaza. On the side of the United States, we show, I quote, a cautious optimism.
01:03Before developing these titles, let's first open the case of the Moroccan Sahara with Chile, which supports the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, a position reiterated by the Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alberto Van Claveren-Stork.
01:24A visit to the kingdom was received today in Rabat by his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. The two officials agreed to instill a new dynamic in cooperation between the two countries.
01:37Morocco continues to mobilize to ensure that the word crisis is no longer stuck to Libya.
01:45And to achieve this, Bosnia welcomes again the work of the consultative meeting between the House of Representatives of Libya and the High Council of State of Libya.
01:55These works are part of the efforts deployed in order to give new momentum to the political process in Libya.
02:04The goal is to reach presidential and legislative elections through an agreement on a roadmap that will lead to the formation of a union government.
02:14Morocco and Spain are now living the best moment of their bilateral relationship.
02:20These are the words of José Manuel Alvarez, the head of Spanish diplomacy.
02:24He expressed himself in front of the Congress of Deputies, an opportunity he seized to salute the security cooperation between the two countries.
02:32Cooperation that he described as decisive to fight against human trafficking networks and the dismantling of terrorist cells.
02:40For José Manuel Alvarez, the roadmap between Morocco and Spain is totally positive and extremely beneficial for the two countries.
02:50In Morocco, the High Commissioner of the High Council raised the veil on the detailed results of the general assessment of the population and the habitat.
03:02An operation of great importance and it draws the contours of Morocco in the middle of a demographic, economic and social transition.
03:10The High Commissioner of the High Council, Chakib Ben Moussa, in particular, came back on the unemployment rate, which went from 16.2% in 2014 to 21.3% this year.
03:21On this indicator, let's listen to the analysis of Hicham Sadouk, professor of economics and finance.
03:27The results revealed by the last census of September 2024 revealed a slightly mixed situation in terms of socio-economic development.
03:38There are advances and progress that are certain in certain areas, but of course there is a lot of delay on other elements.
03:46More particularly, the element that you just pointed out, that of the unemployment rate of 15 and over-aged people, which has gone from 47% to about 41%,
03:57and which has actually allowed to record this staggering unemployment rate, which was not surprising for a lot of reasons, which is about 21%.
04:06That means that for a decade, from 2014 to 2024, on average, Moroccans work less than they did before,
04:15knowing that we had in our imagination, in our perception of things, that there were infrastructures, that there are advances, that there are progress,
04:23that must generate employment, that must generate activity.
04:25But that was, let's say, the big surprise, which was more or less expected for a lot of reasons.
04:31Maybe we'll come back to that later.
04:33But next to this element, there is, of course, some progress in terms of funding, infrastructure, housing, access to electricity, which is almost widespread.
04:45So, to try to summarize, on some elements we have done more than the world average, if we want to compare ourselves to a benchmark,
04:54but on other elements, we are really lagging behind.
04:56And on that, maybe we need to be careful, try to draw the lesson, to try to catch up with the delay.
05:02The UN calls for free and fair elections in Syria after the transition period opened by the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
05:11His emissary in this country demands immediate humanitarian aid in a Syria torn apart and devastated by more than 13 years of civil war and repression.
05:21On the ground, the new authorities are trying to reassure foreign governments on their ability to reunify the country.
05:33While several foreign missions met in Damascus, the new Syrian leaders, the UN special envoy for Syria,
05:41Geir Pedersen, mentioned in front of the Security Council the clashes in the north of the country
05:47between the Kurdish-Syrian forces and the groups supported by Turkey.
05:51Fearing a resumption of the fighting, Washington announced the extension of the ceasefire, which ended two days ago until the end of the week.
05:59The north, as well as some districts of the city of Aleppo, remain under the control of the armed groups supported by the United States.
06:06The five-day ceasefire has now expired, and I am seriously worried,
06:10because there is information about an intensification of the fighting and military reinforcement.
06:15Such a situation could have serious consequences.
06:22Members of the Council also stressed the need for Syria and its neighbors to abstain from any action or interference that could harm the safety of the other.
06:32Several humanitarian aid has been sent to the country in support of the population, which has been out of the war for two weeks.
06:38But stability remains fragile in many regions of Syria.
06:43Markets, roads and health establishments are reopening.
06:46Children are going back to school.
06:48Aid operations are gradually resuming in most of our centers, including in Aleppo, Homs and here in Damascus.
06:54It is crucial that we adapt humanitarian aid to the new conditions, even if it changes rapidly.
07:02The UN Security Council asks that the political process in Syria be inclusive and led by the Syrians.
07:10While Israel continues to dominate the Palestinian enclave,
07:14the United States claims to be optimistic and realistic about the prospect of reaching a truce in the Gaza Strip.
07:23For the US Department of State, Washington can only try to find compromises, but not dictate to one or the other party the choices it must make.
07:34Hamas, on the other hand, seriously qualifies discussions in Qatar in order to cease fire in Gaza.
07:45Serious and positive negotiations are the words of Hamas to qualify discussions in Qatar in order to cease fire in Gaza.
07:53It also states that it is possible to reach an agreement to cease fire and an exchange of prisoners if the occupation ceases to impose new conditions.
08:04I hope that the talks will be sincere this time and not as random as before.
08:08We really want the war to stop because we are exhausted and exhausted.
08:15These discussions follow the visit to Doha on September 11 of the Mossad chief David Barnea,
08:20although there is no indication that he is participating in the talks underway, according to the Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz.
08:28Israeli negotiators have never been so close to an agreement on the release of hostages held on Palestinian territory.
08:38I am not very optimistic, but I pray to God that everything will end well and in peace.
08:43I hope that everyone will be able to return home, to their home, to their neighborhood, and that everything will be resolved peacefully.
08:51The only truce was in November 2023.
08:54Since then, all efforts by the media have been led by Egypt, the United States and Qatar to obtain a new truce.
09:01But for a few weeks, diplomatic efforts have resumed, this time jointly led by Washington, Cairo, Doha and Ankara.
09:10In the other war, Moscow has claimed today the capture of two new towns near the city of Koura Reve in eastern Ukraine.
09:21These are Stariterny and Trudove, very close to a mining city,
09:27targeted by Russian assaults for several weeks,
09:30in which the forces of Kiev lose ground every day against the more numerous and better armed Russian troops.
09:39We are on December 18, International Migrant Day.
09:47It commemorates the adoption of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of Migrants and Members of their Families.
09:54It is also an opportunity to return to the evolution of human mobility, a natural phenomenon since the dawn of time,
10:01and whose causes are numerous, climatic, economic, political.
10:05In 2020, 280 million people lived in a country other than their birth country, according to recent EU estimates.
10:20In this context, African migrations are often perceived through preconceived ideas,
10:25notably the image of a migratory crisis towards Europe.
10:29However, the dynamics on the continent tell a very different story,
10:35a story told by Yassine Benmortard, a specialist in migration and mobility at the Center for Global Studies at Rabat International University.
10:46The narrative around these issues of migration and mobility, which are essentially African,
10:51is often biased and instrumentalized.
10:54So it is very important to put the facts on the table, what is the reality on the ground.
10:59The global proportion of migrants has been more or less stable since the 1990s.
11:06We have gone from 3% since the 1990s to today.
11:11So there is no international migration wave, there is no international crisis of migrants or mobility.
11:19There is more or less a crisis of welcome and migratory policies among the recipients of these people
11:25who are looking for endless opportunities for a better life.
11:28So the African population mainly migrates to the continent, and I insist on this, mainly.
11:34To move, you need money, and the continent does not necessarily have all the means,
11:38and people in mobility do not necessarily have all these means.
11:41So, in search of a better future, people travel to the neighboring country,
11:45or essentially to the sub-region that concerns them.
11:48Very few migrate to the outside of the continent, and among these very few,
11:52so let's say the order is 70 to 80% stay on the continent,
11:56and those who go abroad are scattered over several geographies.
12:01We have Asia, we have the Gulf countries, but also Europe.
12:05Among these 20%, only a third join Europe.
12:08So we do not have a massive invasion or a massive flow vis-à-vis Europe.
12:13These people are essentially educated, looking for better jobs, opportunities for the future,
12:19and they are young.
12:20And there is a large percentage, a large percentage, forgive me, of women in these flows,
12:26which represents more or less fifty percent.
12:28So we have to put these perspectives back on the table,
12:31and it is a bit of these alarmist perspectives that consider that Europe is being invaded by Africa.
12:37It's false, it's false, it's false.
12:41In Tunisia, civil society has mobilized to denounce the criminalization of solidarity with migrants.
12:48The participants in this mobilization demand the release of all detainees for their humanitarian commitments.
12:55Najwa Bech.
12:58How to continue to live after losing their children?
13:02This is the painful question to which Hassan Ejtioui is trying to answer through his participation
13:08in this demonstration in the heart of the Tunisian capital on the occasion of the International Migrant Day.
13:15In front of the municipal theater, the woman shouted in a hoarse voice,
13:19trying to combine her words to address a message to the Tunisian president.
13:25Mr. President, I am not asking you for anything, neither food nor housing.
13:30I am only asking you to give me my sons, Adam and Mahmoud.
13:35I want to know the fate of my children, who are above all young Tunisians.
13:41This day was also an opportunity to demand the release of the militant detainees of civil society.
13:47The spokesman for the Economic and Social Forum indicated that civil society organizations
13:53are subject to continuous criminalization campaigns,
13:57and that solidarity with the sub-Saharan migrants has become, in Tunisia,
14:01a conspiracy against the security of the state.
14:05The criminalization of civil militantism, which we have been subjected to since May 2024,
14:12now makes dozens of militants suffer, who are now rotting in Tunisian prisons.
14:18In a statement, the association says that it accuses Tunisian authorities
14:23of obstructing the process of registering asylum applications
14:27and of implicitly withdrawing from the Geneva Convention.
14:30Civil society activists have confirmed that the original migrants of the Tunisian sub-Saharan countries
14:37live in tragic, oppressive and vulnerable conditions.
14:43We have become the best border guards for the Italians.
14:47Certainly, Tunisia is not responsible for the fate of the sub-Saharan migrants,
14:51but it must treat them with humanity.
14:54We demand the cancellation of agreements with the European Union
14:58because they are illegal, while immigration remains a right for all.
15:04In this regard, the official spokesman for the National Guard
15:08confirmed that Tunisia was not a guardian of the borders of Italy,
15:12but that it was only trying to protect its borders,
15:16revealing on our part the decrease in the number of Tunisian immigrants
15:20compared to 95,000 last year.
15:29In the first eight months of this year,
15:31arrivals in Italy from the Mediterranean Sea decreased by 63%
15:36compared to the same period in 2023,
15:39a success behind which a migratory policy against humanity would be hidden.
15:45This is what activists from civil society say.
15:48From Tunis, Najwa Bechat, for Media 1.
15:53What assessment to make of the 16 days of activism recently organized in Mali
15:57against the violence committed against women and girls?
16:01The question was at the heart of a meeting organized in Bamako
16:04by the organization La Femme en Moi.
16:09In a friendly environment, members of the organization La Femme en Moi
16:14met to discuss the actions taken during the 16 days of activism
16:19and evaluate their impact.
16:21During this campaign of the 16 days of activism,
16:24we have led an online campaign,
16:27where we made videos, where we collected testimonies
16:31of women and girls surviving sexual violence,
16:35and we have led the campaign on our digital platforms,
16:41social networks, Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram.
16:45This meeting, called Gouter Féministe,
16:48which is a monthly activity of the organization,
16:51also aims to draw the attention of actors
16:54that the fight for the rights of women and girls
16:57will not be limited to 16 days a year.
17:01You will certainly say that the 16 days of activism have taken a toll on us,
17:05but at the level of La Femme en Moi,
17:07we have said that the fight for gender equality,
17:10the fight for the equality of sexes,
17:12is a fight of the day, it is a fight of every day.
17:15So we said to ourselves, after December 10,
17:18why not continue to lead the activities,
17:20these activities that we do every day.
17:22Activists, journalists, bloggers, entrepreneurs, communicators,
17:26next to these caps,
17:28are mostly engaged women,
17:30to improve the conditions of women and male girls.
17:34I think it's always good to bring women together,
17:39to promote union and sorority,
17:42and also to talk about women,
17:46that women talk about issues that concern them,
17:50and can also have solutions to their problems,
17:54women's solutions to women's problems.
17:57During this meeting, many issues related to women's rights and girls
18:02were discussed and solutions for respect were proposed.
18:10Let's go to Dakar, where we held this week the first forum of the OMVS,
18:15the Organization for the Evaluation of the Senegal River,
18:18and its partners, during this meeting,
18:21tried to answer a question,
18:23how can we strengthen the resilience of this basin
18:26in the face of climate change?
18:28This is a report by Sirme Bokaka and Moussa Ndiye.
18:32The basin of the Senegal River has recently experienced floods
18:36that have caused the displacement of many inhabitants of the region.
18:39It is in this context that Senegalese and African environmentalists
18:43met in Dakar for the first edition of the Forum of the Organization
18:47for the Evaluation of the Senegal River.
18:50If nothing is done now, the consequences will be more and more dramatic,
18:54not to say irreversible, for our environment
18:57and consequently for our economies and for the lives of our communities.
19:02This is certainly what the OMVS understood
19:05by deciding to organize this forum
19:07in order to arouse reflection on appropriate and sustainable solutions
19:12in order to build a resilient future in all the countries of our basin.
19:18During this forum, experts on issues related to climate change
19:22addressed various themes in turn
19:25and proposed solutions for a resilient basin in the face of this flood.
19:29This is the case with the question of hydraulic works.
19:32We need modelling, we need computer tools
19:36that allow us to make better predictions,
19:39and piloting tools that allow us to manage
19:45the situation on a day-to-day basis.
19:49These are the works that allow us to deal with such situations.
19:53This edition was an opportunity to reward the laureates of the project call
19:57together for a basin of the Senegal Resilient River in the face of climate change.
20:02The Aradès Association was awarded this award.
20:05It is a water plant, an invasive plant
20:10that has long been transformed by the Walo population.
20:17Its name in Wolof is Djakar.
20:20In French, we call it Nenufar.
20:23It is a plant that is transformed by women into semolina, flour,
20:28and today into cosmetics.
20:32Specifically, into soap and oil.
20:35Of course, with the collaboration of scientists from the Université Gerson-Berger
20:39and other groups of women who make soap,
20:42with the women of the village of Sarnar.
20:46The OMVS, which brings together several countries of the sub-region,
20:49has also offered African business leaders
20:52the opportunity to promote their expertise through an exhibition.
20:59The tourism and leisure sector in Ivory Coast is growing.
21:04It is actively contributing to economic development
21:07and to the promotion of the image of the country.
21:10How to make the most of these assets?
21:13The question was at the heart of a meeting between the Minister of Tourism
21:16and the various actors in the sector.
21:19Mel Berchel and Herman Doko.
21:22The leisure sector is an essential pillar of tourist development in Ivory Coast.
21:26It plays a key role in the attractiveness of the country
21:29and in the improvement of the living environment of the population.
21:32Aware of this issue, the Minister of Tourism and Leisure
21:35recently initiated in Abidjan a meeting with professionals in the sector.
21:39A space for constructive dialogue,
21:41which aims to lay the foundations for a solid collaboration
21:44and to identify solutions to transform the landscape of leisure in Ivory Coast.
21:49A marketing concept, a product concept,
21:55but a concept from which everyone will communicate
21:59and that the government will seize to communicate for you.
22:02This is a great international platform
22:05so that we can make it a product of appeal
22:09and that everyone comes down to the Ivory Coast.
22:13This initiative has allowed the actors of Leisure
22:16to express their expectations and formulate concrete recommendations.
22:20Jean-Marc Bini, event promoter,
22:22underlines the need to structure the sector
22:25to attract more investment and improve the offer of Leisure.
22:29In this kind of meeting, we take the opportunity to make donations.
22:33But the basis of the meeting was to exchange ideas
22:36to see how we can better prepare, finalize, and improve.
22:40It's the holidays that start, and it's also the tourist season that starts.
22:44So that's what I retained.
22:46Obviously, as the Ministry of Tourism and Leisure,
22:49there are donations that have been given that will be taken into account.
22:52He will do what we ask him to do.
22:54If he wants the economy to move forward,
22:56he will do what we ask him to do.
22:58If he wants this sector to get out of the informal,
23:00he will do what we ask him to do.
23:02If he wants the Ivory Coast to become a living space,
23:05a welcoming place, a place of hospitality.
23:09This meeting marks a turning point in the relationship
23:11between the state and the actors of Leisure,
23:13laying the foundations for a dynamic patenariat
23:16to make the Ivory Coast a destination for Leisure,
23:19a reference in Africa.
23:23Back in the kingdom, we go to Casablanca,
23:26where the City Council wants to uniform the façades of shops and terraces.
23:31The aim is to ensure that there is a certain harmony in the public space.
23:36The managers of these cafes and restaurants are not against the idea,
23:40but they ask to be involved.
23:42This is a report by Issam Abari and Dina Amrini.
23:46The city of Casablanca is preparing to adopt a new regulation
23:50that aims to uniform the terraces of cafes and restaurants.
23:54A decision that was taken by the City Council.
23:57The aim is to harmonize urban aesthetics
24:00and put an end to the disorder related to the occupation of the public space.
24:05For the owners, this initiative is welcome,
24:09but they want to consult it and give their opinion before adopting it.
24:17This approach is like a dream for us,
24:19but as representatives of the owners of cafes and restaurants,
24:22we are not aware of the changes that are taking place.
24:25We must therefore agree to choose a uniform design and color of the façade.
24:29In this sense, the model in the tourist areas should be different
24:32from that of the cafes of the popular neighborhoods.
24:35The professionals in the sector will have to be involved in this decision
24:38since it concerns them directly.
24:41After the recent campaign to demolish the terraces of some cafes and restaurants,
24:46the City of Casablanca is now attacking the uniformity of the front of the cafes,
24:51which are located in the large arteries of the city.
24:54A list of responsibilities is being elaborated
24:57in order to fix the modalities that will be generalized on all the terraces.
25:02The City Council also plans to organize meetings with professionals in the sector
25:07in order to answer their questions and guarantee a concerted and rapid implementation.
25:14As for the uniformization of the front of the shops,
25:17the City Council of Casablanca must develop a list of responsibilities
25:21respecting the occupation of public space.
25:24As professionals in the sector, we must have the freedom to choose
25:28the model and color of the façades that go with our commercial policy.
25:32Such a decision will have a huge impact on the sector.
25:36A bill is being finalized and will be approved in the coming days.
25:41It will include proposals relating to the installation of a rule
25:45to calculate the area occupied by the public domain.
25:49This calculation will be based on the distance between the sidewalk
25:53and the façades of the cafes and restaurants.
25:55The goal is to guarantee a management of the public domain in accordance with legal provisions.
26:02This is the end of this newspaper. Thank you for following it.
