08:27A few hours before the end of the year celebrations,
08:30the HLM market in the Senegalese capital is in full swing.
08:34In some shops, digital screens display makeup tutorials,
08:39an effective strategy to attract customers.
08:43We are always on social media, we are on television, we are influencers,
08:48we have TikTok accounts that have almost 1 or 2 million subscribers,
08:52we have Instagram accounts that are very famous, we have Facebook, TikTok, we are everywhere.
08:56To be beautiful, these women are ready for anything.
08:59In this shop, they have the choice between aesthetic or natural wigs,
09:03whose prices range between 15,000 and 300,000 francs SIFA,
09:07or about 23 to 400 euros.
09:10Welcome also plays an important role in convincing these customers.
09:14The welcome here is really captivating.
09:17I came for the first time, but it is thanks to the welcome that I came back twenty times.
09:21So I came to get my wig styled and even say tomorrow to make me all beautiful with them.
09:272024 was a year marked by many challenges,
09:31but these entrepreneurs were still able to be rejuvenated thanks to the wholesalers.
09:36It was complicated, but Mashallah, it went well anyway.
09:41There are a lot of people who come, and there are also fewer people who come, it depends.
09:46To follow trends and boost their sales,
09:49the make-up and wig shop put on active communication on social networks.
09:57A few hours from the Saint-Sylvestre,
09:59it is the effervescence of the commune of Adjame in Côte d'Ivoire,
10:02this nevralgic center of Ivorian commerce.
10:05Reputed for its tentacular market,
10:07it turns into a real animated rush where merchants and customers
10:11are preparing for the big holiday of the end of the year.
10:14Merle Berchel, or rather Hermann Doggo, we must discover.
10:21Adjame, beating heart of the Ivorian economic metropolis,
10:24vibrates at the pace of preparations for the New Year.
10:27A few hours from the Saint-Sylvestre,
10:29the central market and the big arteries are crowded with people.
10:32There are pants, there are skirts, there are sweaters, there are flyers,
10:38there is machépa, there are 500, there are 400, there is me from me.
10:43Everything is there, it depends on the model.
10:45Colored stalls at the sound of the merchandise being debated,
10:48merchants rival in ingenuity to attract buyers.
10:53Customers, them, multiply the courses so as not to leave anything to chance.
10:58I bought two sets of skirts, a set of pants, a dress.
11:03It cost me 40,000 francs.
11:05And then I bought two pairs of shoes.
11:08This year the prices are affordable, it's okay.
11:10And then the corner is very clean, it's okay.
11:12The corner, there is not too much bottle.
11:14In any case, it's okay.
11:15From afar, we meet Sheik Umar Magasa,
11:18specialized in the sale of women's shoes.
11:21For three years, he has grown into a loyal customer
11:24thanks to the quality of his products.
11:27The previous years were a little better than this year.
11:30But by the grace of God, we feel a little bit, we move a little bit.
11:34Well, I can't say it's okay this year yet.
11:36As long as there is health, we move forward.
11:38These are very beautiful items at a good price and of good quality too.
11:42We have mules, we have sandals.
11:44The mules are more practical, for example, to go to work, everything.
11:48And then the sandals are a little higher,
11:50to be able to see, smile, everything.
11:54In Djamé, the effervescence of the last moments before the New Year
11:58is much more than a simple commercial ritual.
12:00It illustrates the overflowing energy of a community
12:03which, each year, puts itself at the level of celebrations.
12:07An atmosphere of celebration and reunion
12:09which gives a taste of a New Year rich in promise.
12:14The Minister of Foreign Affairs of African and Moroccan Cooperation,
12:18residing abroad in Serborita,
12:20had a telephone interview yesterday with his Syrian counterpart,
12:24Assad Rassane El Shibani.
12:27This is the first Moroccan-Syrian diplomatic contact
12:30after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
12:33During this interview, Serborita reaffirmed
12:36the support of Morocco to the Syrian people,
12:38as well as its sovereignty and the integrity of its territory,
12:42highlighting the common bonds that unite the two countries,
12:45indicates the Syrian Ministry.
12:51The military leader of the Hayat al-Rir al-Sham group
12:54has been appointed Minister of Defense.
12:56In the transition government in Syria,
12:59the authorities announced this Tuesday.
13:01Mouraf Abou Kastra, 41,
13:03has been the head of the military branch of HTS for five years
13:08and is considered one of the main commanders
13:11who led the offensive,
13:13which allowed him to seize the largest part of the country in 11 days.
13:21In Syria, former fighters from abroad
13:25have been appointed to command posts in the future army
13:29by the new leader, Ahmad al-Sharif,
13:32in the context of the country's reconstruction.
13:34The Syrians will have to wait four years
13:36to elect their new president.
13:38The point with Raja Ingo.
13:42The new Syrian leader, Ahmad al-Sharif,
13:45has appointed former rebels to command posts
13:48within the country's future army,
13:50including former HTS foreign fighters.

13:59a list of 49 names,
14:01including those of Syrian rebels
14:03and former army officers
14:05who deserted at the first hour and rallied the rebellion.
14:08The seven highest-ranked seem to all be from the ranks of HTS.
14:12The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
14:14has identified at least six foreign jihadists in the list,
14:18including an Albanian, a Jordanian, a Tajik, a Uighur,
14:22but also a Turk from HTS.
14:24Questioned on Sunday evening by Saudi television Al Arabiya
14:28about the nominations going only to his camp
14:30within the transition government,
14:32Ahmad al-Sharif admitted that it was true.
14:34When we have a temporary government in the long term,
14:37we will be able to have a larger participation, he said.
14:40After the fall of the old regime,
14:42the organization of the new elections
14:44could take four years, according to Ahmad al-Sharif.
14:46He added that the rewriting of the constitution
14:49could take three years.
14:51The new Syrian leader also stated
14:53that he is ready to discuss with the Syrian Democratic Forces
14:56dominated by the Kurds
14:58for their integration into the future Syrian army.
15:00And in order to guarantee security and stability,
15:03the security forces have launched an operation
15:05to pursue the pro-Assad militias throughout the country.
15:08This operation would have allowed
15:10to neutralize several armed groups loyal to the former president.
15:13While the new Syrian authorities are working on security,
15:16in the north of the country, the fighting continues.
15:18The fights between the groups supported by Turkey
15:21and the Syrian Democratic Forces dominated by the Kurds,
15:24supported by the United States,
15:26continue, causing several deaths in both camps.
15:30As part of the International Anti-Terrorist Coalition,
15:34France has hit targets in Syria.

15:40On Sunday, French airmen
15:42carried out targeted strikes
15:45against sites in Daesh on Syrian soil,
15:48said Sébastien Lecornu on X.
15:51This is the first operation of this type in two years.

16:05have destroyed the health system
16:07in the Gaza Strip.
16:09Israel launched a major raid on Kamal al-Dawan Hospital
16:12on Friday and Saturday.
16:14The medical staff and patients
16:16were forced to take refuge
16:18at the Indonesian hospital in the south of the enclave.
16:22Kamal al-Dawan Hospital was attacked.
16:25People were transferred to the Indonesian hospital,
16:28but it is a non-functional hospital.
16:30Everywhere around us, the fighting continues.
16:33People here have no food,
16:35no water, no sanitation, nothing.
16:37There are still people in Jabalia, in the north.
16:40We must be able to reach them.
16:44The World Health Organization
16:46asked Israel on Monday
16:48to release the director of Kamal al-Dawan Hospital,
16:51arrested after the vast raid on the establishment.
16:53The director of the hospital,
16:55Dr. Osman Abu Safia,
16:57accused of being a Hamas activist,
16:59will be transferred to Israel for further investigation.
17:02In Gaza, the medical staff is still active
17:04and some patients, refugees at the Indonesian hospital,
17:07fear that another raid will hit the hospital
17:09in the south of Gaza.
17:11We have listened to the patients here,
17:13evacuated from the hospital to another,
17:15who told us how serious it was,
17:17how difficult it was for them
17:19to leave Kamal al-Dawan Hospital
17:21and come to the Indonesian hospital.
17:23And they fear that this will happen again in Gaza City
17:25or to the south.
17:27We must rehabilitate hospitals
17:29and support the health system.
17:31Kamal al-Dawan Hospital,
17:33which used to be the material support
17:35of the Red Cross,
17:37was the last large operating hospital
17:39in the north of the Palestinian territory,
17:41devastated by more than a year of war.
17:45The United States has claimed
17:47to have conducted strikes
17:49on December 30 and 31
17:51on military targets,
17:53particularly in Sanaa,
17:55the capital of Yemen,
17:57controlled by its rebels
17:59supported by Iran,
18:01These strikes have targeted
18:03a command and control site,
18:05as well as production
18:07and storage sites,
18:09which include missiles
18:11and drones,
18:13indicates the US Central Command
18:15for the Middle East on X.
18:21The Russian army advanced in Ukraine
18:23nearly 4,000 square kilometers
18:25in 2024,
18:27facing the Ukrainians
18:29more than seven times
18:31than in 2023.
18:33And the year to come is uncertain
18:35for Kiev,
18:37notably due to questions
18:39about the permanence of US support.
18:41For weeks,
18:43speculations have been mounting
18:45about a possible future
18:47to talk about peace
18:49after nearly three years of a war
18:51that has hundreds of thousands of dead
18:53and injured in both camps.
18:55Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
18:57announced a just peace in 2025,
18:59but his country
19:01ends the year on the defensive
19:03against a Russian army
19:05advancing despite significant losses.
19:11The bankruptcies of small and medium-sized businesses
19:13continue to increase in Morocco,
19:15exceeding the recorded figures
19:17before the Covid-19 pandemic.
19:19More details with Ayub Deraza
19:21of El Mbrini for the story.
19:23It has not been dissuaded
19:25to embark on entrepreneurship
19:27after the Covid-19 pandemic.
19:29Three years ago,
19:31Mohsin Hantiti
19:33created a small business
19:35with two partners.
19:37It is receiving encouraging results
19:39despite the financial difficulties.
19:43Our company specializes
19:45in food packaging.
19:47My associates and I founded it
19:49after the Covid-19 pandemic.
19:51We worked hand in hand
19:53to support this project
19:55so that it is profitable.
19:57Maintaining this small business
19:59has not been easy.
20:01It took Mohsin a lot of determination
20:03to overcome the challenges
20:05in a context where the number
20:07of corporate bankruptcies
20:09reaches peaks.
20:11SMEs and SMEs
20:13should partner to benefit
20:15from financing and facilitate
20:17administrative procedures.
20:19According to official data,
20:21Moroccan companies
20:23recorded a new record
20:25of bankruptcies in 2024
20:27with 16,100 files.
20:29This represents an increase
20:31of 13% compared to 2023
20:33and almost double
20:35the annual average observed
20:37between 2016 and 2019.
20:39This alarming situation
20:41is explained by several factors,
20:43including the impact of inflation
20:45on the prices of raw materials
20:47as well as the impact
20:49of the pandemic.
20:53It is now possible
20:55to report to the Moroccan authorities
20:57the illegal content on the Internet.
20:59The General Directorate
21:01of National Security
21:03recently launched a new platform
21:05called eBLAG,
21:07a service that is part of
21:09a global approach to strengthen
21:11the sense of public safety
21:13between the institution and society.
21:15Salwa El Khaloui
21:17reports on this topic.
21:21With the proliferation
21:23of social networks,
21:25digital harassment
21:27has become a widespread phenomenon
21:29affecting a large number of Internet users.
21:31In this sense,
21:33the General Directorate of National Security
21:35recently launched a new online platform
21:37called eBLAG.
21:39The aim is to allow Internet users
21:41to quickly report
21:43and safely report
21:45any digital content
21:47considered violent or criminal.
21:49This platform is accessible
21:51from any device connected to the Internet,
21:53whether it is a computer
21:55or a mobile device.
21:57This platform is available
21:5924 hours a day
22:01in four languages, Arabic, French,
22:03Spanish and English.
22:05Everyone has the opportunity
22:07to report any suspicious content
22:09via the eBLAG.com website.
22:11Whether you are a victim
22:13or a witness to online violence,
22:15competent authorities
22:17will then carry out
22:19in-depth investigations
22:21and judicial action if necessary
22:23under the supervision of competent authorities.
22:25All reports will be treated
22:27with seriousness
22:29to guarantee an adequate response
22:31to each situation.
22:33On its part, civil society
22:35contributes to the dissemination
22:37of the culture of awareness
22:39by organizing awareness campaigns
22:41and by providing psychological support
22:43to victims.
22:47As representatives of civil society,
22:49our role is to inform people
22:51about the existence of this platform
22:53and to encourage them to report
22:55any digital abuse safely.
22:57Denouncing a cyber sexual harassment
22:59or another
23:01limits its spread.
23:03On the other hand,
23:05keeping silent and avoiding reporting
23:07on the Internet constitutes a danger
23:09for the lives of Internet users.
23:11eBLAG represents a significant
23:13advance in the fight against
23:15cybercrime in Morocco
23:17in order to preserve a safe
23:19and secure Internet environment.
23:21Note that Morocco ranks 48th
23:23in the world ranking of cybercrime
23:25and ranks 7th
23:27among the African countries
23:29most affected by this phenomenon.
23:31This concludes our report.
