00:00Good evening and welcome to Medea TV. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast.
00:20Here are the headlines.
00:22At the top of the news, these last revelations of the psyche on the terrorist cell of Headswell, the cell of the three brothers, had not only nefarious ambitions, but also direct links with terrorist leaders in the Sahel region.
00:38On Thursday, a roundtable was organized by the National Migration Observatory, a meeting also on migratory policy and the humanized management of borders.
00:51After the release of three Israeli hostages, Israel released 110 Palestinians on Thursday. This is the third exchange of prisoners as part of the truce between Israel and Hamas.
01:03The director of the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation this Thursday exposed the ramifications of the terrorist cell of the three brothers in Headswell.
01:13Expressing himself during a press conference held today, Abu Sherkawi said that the cell of the three brothers had not only nefarious ambitions, but also direct links with terrorist leaders operating in the Sahel region.
01:26Investigations also revealed that the brothers were preparing attack plans for security infrastructures and public places such as markets.
01:34According to the security officer, they had established approximate maps of the routes to facilitate their escape after the execution of their act.
01:42In his intervention, Abu Sherkawi, the director of the Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation, mentioned the dangers of family recruitment for terrorist ends. I suggest you listen to him.
01:59The danger of this extremist cell is not only in the terrorist projects it intends to carry out or in the advanced phase of preparation of its terrorist plans.
02:15The danger lies mainly in the growing and destructive phenomenon of family recruitment of terrorists.
02:22Thus, the arrest of the cell of the three brothers has demonstrated the existence of a new social security threat that is capable of dragging an entire family into ideological extremism
02:35and creating resistance groups against the customs and customs of Moroccan society, against its unity and against its Muslim doctrine.
02:44All this is due to the influence that some members of the family may have of extremist ideology on their family and social entourage.
02:53Unfortunately, the head of this cell was able to transform his family into a terror for extremism and terrorist recruitment.
03:01All this in favor of his terrorist plan, using his moral authority and his negative influence on his close entourage.
03:14Under the impetus of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, Morocco adopts a humanized management of borders.
03:20This is what said this Thursday Rabah Khalid Zewaly, Wali Director of Migration and Border Surveillance at the Ministry of the Interior.
03:27For the Wali, Morocco opts for a wide, innovative and holistic concept in terms of humanized management of borders.
03:34The goal is to accompany the different stages of the migrant's journey, the first contact and the identification of vulnerabilities
03:41with appropriate references and then integration.
03:44I invite you to listen to Laura Palatini, Head of Mission of the International Organization of Migration in Morocco
03:49and François Rebédéga, representative of the HCR in Morocco.
03:56Today, the focus of this event is the humanized management of borders.
04:02This is a very innovative approach.
04:05Traditionally, border management is a purely security approach.
04:12The addition of humanized terms really gives a novelty to border management.
04:22It really looks at the needs of the individual, the migrant, and not only the security of the country.
04:31This is the very innovative approach that Morocco has put forward and it is very important to use it as much as possible.
04:41As OIM, we are really happy to be here today to accompany and demonstrate our commitment to accompany Morocco in this approach,
04:53which is really an innovation at the regional and international level.
04:59We are here at the invitation of Mr. Wally and the Ministry of the Interior for a day of work on the humanized management of borders,
05:11an important initiative of Morocco, which is part of the vision of His Majesty for a human-based approach.
05:22The right is inclusive for refugees and migrants.
05:27This is a very important moment with a wide spectrum of actors, institutional actors, civil society actors, but also international.
05:39We congratulate in a very tense context, a world context, a chaotic world, where we see an increase in the level of forced mobility,
05:49a great complexity of movements on the North African outskirts and the sub-Saharan arc of mixed mobility trajectories, migrants and refugees.
06:00In this very tense, very complex context, such a meeting is of vital importance, with great collegiality between all concerned actors,
06:14to see at the same time, on these very solid foundations of the vision of His Majesty and national policy,
06:20make the point of all the profound results achieved, but also talk about the challenges we are faced with,
06:28in particular the challenges of emergency aid, the challenges of documentation,
06:33and fully seize all the opportunities that are presented to us collectively,
06:39to ensure the protection of asylum seekers and refugees,
06:46which is exactly in line with the vision of His Majesty and the national policy of migration and asylum.
06:57And to come back to the issues of the round table organized today in Rabat by the National Migration Observatory,
07:03I have the pleasure of speaking with Mahdi Alioua, Dean of the Institute of Political Studies at the International University of Rabat. Good evening.
07:12Good evening, thank you for the invitation.
07:15Thank you for answering our questions.
07:17To begin with, what is the state of affairs in the global management of borders in terms of respect for the rights of migrants?
07:25It is not at best, otherwise we would not have this need to work on it.
07:30That is to say that Morocco has a border management policy,
07:35which is necessary both because the question of sovereignty also depends on its ability to manage borders,
07:43but also because there is an extremely strong pressure from the Ivorian countries,
07:47whether they are from the African region or essentially from Europe.
07:53And so a border is of course a line of demarcation between two countries, two states, a nation.
07:59And so it must be managed in common.
08:01And what we, as researchers in migration, know, and we have known for a very long time,
08:05is that it is at the border that there is the most, that the border alone condenses the most violations,
08:12or potentially violations of human rights.
08:15And so there was a need, in fact, not only to rebalance the shot,
08:20but above all to clearly anchor the vision that you described in your report,
08:25which was put under the aegis of our head of state, His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
08:31who clearly tells us that we are going to have a change in migration policy in 2013,
08:36and that there will be, on the one hand, the question of security,
08:42and on the other hand, the more humanist question of welcome, of respect for rights, etc.
08:51And to be able to achieve this, Morocco has put in place a whole set of strategies,
08:56such as ASNIA, for example, the National Strategy for Immigration and Asylum.
09:01And now we are in a new strategy that innovates,
09:04and so the border becomes the starting point of everything that will allow to identify,
09:10for security reasons, but also for reasons of respect,
09:15and this is very important, human rights, the identification of vulnerable people,
09:19people who need protection, for example asylum seekers or victims of trafficking, etc.
09:25But it is not enough, behind it you have to be able to offer them something as an alternative,
09:30and this is what we discussed today, during this day.
09:34So, can you explain to us this concept of humanized borders?
09:39What does it actually consist of?
09:43Until now, the management of migratory flows by the management of the border was a security management,
09:51whether in Morocco or elsewhere in the world, and we see the limits.
09:55At all the borders of the world, we have a bone of the dead, and unfortunately in our country,
10:01we have seen it, we have had violence, we have had deaths, we have had, of course, shipwrecks,
10:07or if it is not on our coasts, it is not very far from our coasts,
10:11or shipwrecks that have left Morocco.
10:14And so we have a human responsibility here, and the security issue does not work.
10:20Morocco has always said it, but Morocco has also always said that it would not fail its mission to participate,
10:27to manage its borders.
10:29But prohibiting people from moving, in fact, it does not work.
10:36It takes pedagogy, it takes explanation, and then there are people who have the right to move.
10:40That's how it is.
10:42If we are in a state of law, we must accept that the right to asylum is a fundamental right,
10:47and therefore we must be able to determine whether the person is potentially a asylum seeker or not.
10:54And so it is not with a purely security device that we can actually change reality.
11:02And so we have to change our mindset, and that's what a lot of people are claiming elsewhere,
11:09and that's what Morocco is trying to do, already putting it in place.
11:13There are files that have been presented to us that are very interesting.
11:17We saw, for example, when ground agents and security forces apprehend people who are rescuing at sea,
11:25there are identification files that take into account a whole set of parameters to facilitate national entry,
11:33the connection with the Office of the Refugees of the Apartheid, or the HCR,
11:38or with medical care, or with, why not, an integration afterwards.
11:44And so Morocco, perhaps with this strategy, will fully realize the vision that was launched in 2013.
11:52Let's go back to the Royal Initiative on the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic.
11:58How could this initiative contribute to the prosperity of the region while reducing migratory flows?
12:05So it will not reduce migratory flows, it will do the opposite, it will increase them.
12:09Migration, and that's what has been recalled by this day...
12:12But maybe illegal rather, that's it.
12:14Maybe illegal migration rather, yes.
12:17Maybe it will stop irregular migration, administratively speaking,
12:21but in fact development encourages people to move,
12:25and in fact, that's what we presented during this day,
12:28is that moving is a positive thing, it creates wealth, it's a huge opportunity,
12:33and we know it well, we Moroccans, we are a people of migrants,
12:36and we did not wait for modern times, we have always been a people with caravans,
12:41with caravanserais, with migratory routes, with oases.
12:45The oases are migratory stages, these are human creations to serve as a port,
12:51as a place of refuge for people who cross this huge sea called the Sahara.
12:56And on the other side, when we arrive on the shores, we call it the Sahel,
12:59we arrive on the shores as if we were sailing at sea.
13:03And so, and then the Moroccans have also been navigators on the sea and in the deserts.
13:08So we know it well, we have put in place a whole set of logistics,
13:12with the port in gemmed, with highways, with...
13:16I will not summarize all the immense work that Morocco has done
13:19to equip itself with infrastructure that favors travel.
13:23And so the Royal Initiative for the Sahelian States,
13:26for the Atlantic States and for the access of the Sahelian States,
13:29will favor travel and it will create huge opportunities.
13:34It will reduce conflicts, prevent people from leaving,
13:38it participates in conflicts, and you have presented, for example,
13:43even if terrorism is not directly linked in this way,
13:47but terrorism is also sometimes frustration among some of our fellow citizens
13:52or some of our fellow countrymen, other Muslim countries,
13:57who choose this desperate and ultra-violent path
14:00because they no longer have hope where they are.
14:02And so, of course, we have to create hope, we have to create movement,
14:05we have to create opportunities.
14:07And it will actually allow, not to fight against irregular migration,
14:11in the sense that we hear it, but by favoring traffic,
14:14it will actually lighten the weight of the authorities
14:17who will concentrate on the real security problems.
14:21However, someone who seeks to go to study or seek to take refuge
14:25because he is fleeing the war does not pose security problems in principle.
14:30And on the Moroccan model of humanized border management,
14:33when will this model be implemented?
14:35Are there obstacles to this model?
14:38So I think it is already in progress.
14:41It's just that now he has explained to us,
14:43and in a way, that's how I interpret it, I may be wrong.
14:47In a way, our state, and particularly our Ministry of the Interior,
14:53through its National Observatory on Migration,
14:56tells us that it will not be able to function without convergence.
15:00There must be researchers, people from civil society,
15:03there must be migrants or people who are at least settled in Morocco themselves
15:08who can serve as mediators.
15:10There must be students who are trained in these professions,
15:13psychology, aid, etc.
15:15It becomes something much broader.
15:18And of course, there must be international cooperation,
15:21since a border is already international,
15:24because it is not a simple demarcation line.
15:27On the contrary, it is a meeting line between at least two nations.
15:32And so there is a whole legal and legislative work to be done.
15:37The political parties must be a little more proactive on this issue.
15:41We ask very few questions on the migration issue.
15:45For a people of migrants, it poses a real debate, a real concern
15:49to what extent it is a subject that is ultimately under-evaluated
15:53among the questions that are asked in Parliament.
15:57And so here we have to open up to create convergence
16:01and that together we really put in place a Moroccan model
16:05of humanized border management.
16:08Thank you, Mehdi Alioua, for all these clarifications.
16:11I remind you that you are a dean of the Institute of Political Studies
16:14at the International University of Rabat.
16:17Thank you very much.
16:19We continue this newscast.
16:20In the Middle East, 110 Palestinians were released in Ramallah
16:23under the ovation of hundreds of people.
16:25A release that gives hope to Palestinian citizens.
16:29Israeli authorities confirmed that they had released 110 people
16:33on the occasion of this third exchange of prisoners
16:35within the framework of the truce concluded between the two parties.
16:38Most were transferred to Ramallah, others to East Jerusalem,
16:42a sector of the Holy City annexed by Israel,
16:44and others to the Gaza Strip.
16:50And a little earlier in the day, three Israeli hostages
16:53were released today by Hamas.
16:55A release held within the framework of the agreement
16:57concluded between Israel and the Palestinian movement.
16:59And among the hostages is a soldier.
17:01A total of 8 hostages were released, including 5 Thais.
17:05After announcing the suspension of the release of 110 Palestinians,
17:09Israel finally continued the operation of liberation.
17:16In the United States, no survivors after the air collision
17:19above Washington.
17:20Divers conducted research to try to find survivors
17:24after the collision between a plane and a military helicopter.
17:27The accident occurred in the Potomac River.
17:29At least 18 bodies were found.
17:3164 people were on board the plane,
17:34while three soldiers were on board the helicopter.
17:37And according to local authorities,
17:39no one survived this accident.
17:45The M23, supported by Rwanda, continues its advance on Goma
17:49and wishes to take control of this city.
17:51The Congolese president promised
17:53not to leave any land to the M23 and its supporters.
17:57Félix Seguedi also condemned the silence
17:59and inaction of the international community
18:01against, I quote,
18:03the barbarism of the Kigali regime,
18:05having declined the invitation to a virtual meeting
18:07of the Community of East African States
18:09convened by Kenya.
18:10The Congolese president preferred to go to Rwanda,
18:12where the Angolan president, Thau Lorenzo,
18:14called on the forces of the M23 to withdraw from the RDC.
18:20The head of French diplomacy arrived this Thursday in Kigali
18:23after a first step in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
18:26Jean-Noël Barreau must meet with the Rwandan president
18:29of the crisis in eastern RDC.
18:31The head of French diplomacy had met
18:33previously in RDC with the Congolese president.
18:36And in Kinshasa, the demonstrations
18:38have been held since the offensive of the M23.
18:40The demonstrators attacked several embassies,
18:43including those of France, Belgium and the United States.
18:46These countries are criticized in RDC
18:48for their inaction against the attack on Goma.
18:52And in the face of this rampant advance of the M23 in eastern RDC,
18:55the Congolese president spoke yesterday.
18:58Félix Issékédi called on the Congolese forces
19:00to accentuate the response
19:02and condemn the silence of the international community.
19:05I invite you to listen to the analysis
19:07of Zakaria Boudahab,
19:09professor of international relations
19:11at the University of Mohamed V in Oraba.
19:22The Democratic Republic of Congo
19:25is Central Africa,
19:27but it has extensions compared to South Africa.
19:30We know very well that South Africa
19:32is the most influential country in this region.
19:35The SADC, which is the community
19:37for the development of South Africa,
19:39participated in the launch of an inclusive dialogue,
19:42as you said earlier.
19:44But there is also the process of Luanda.
19:46There is Kenya, because Kenya and RDC
19:49are part of the Central African Economic Community.
19:55Despite these attempts
19:57by regional or sub-regional organizations,
20:00the accusations of Paro and others,
20:03when you listen to Mr Kagame,
20:05he will tell you that he has the right
20:07to also defend the country
20:09against genocide number two.
20:11And therefore, sometimes the relations are contradictory.
20:15But generally, what we notice today,
20:17a kind of consensus ad minima,
20:19the international community,
20:21including the African Union,
20:23including the regional organizations
20:25that we have mentioned,
20:27consider that, without naming it directly,
20:29and this is perhaps diplomatically annoying,
20:32without naming Luanda,
20:34that everyone must assume their responsibilities
20:37because we are in a potential drift,
20:40or on a potential drift,
20:42and the spectrum of genocide is still there.
20:45The Hutus are still there,
20:47but also the Tutsis.
20:48And so, in the end,
20:49if the international community would like
20:51a repetition, God forbid,
20:54of the 1994 genocide,
20:56it must assume its responsibilities.
20:58But be careful, Mr Diou,
20:59you know the acts of plundering
21:01against the American and French embassies,
21:03I think yesterday or the day before yesterday,
21:05in Goma, so the citizens are angry
21:07and we understand that there is a kind of burden,
21:09as some say,
21:11a geopolitical anger,
21:13it is really necessary today
21:15that everyone assumes his responsibility.
21:17It is time to trigger,
21:18the responsibility to protect.
21:20Why is there a double standard?
21:22For Libya we intervene,
21:23but for others we do not intervene.
21:25So you understand,
21:26there are always hidden interests
21:28and unfortunately a duplicity
21:30in terms of operational action.
21:34In Asia, more than one billion people
21:36celebrate the new lunar year
21:38and the beginning of the year of the snake,
21:40from Beijing to Bangkok.
21:41The streets are animated by parades
21:43and fireworks.
21:44Araja Ingo tells us more.
21:48The Chinese New Year,
21:49Vietnamese,
21:50or Tea Festival,
21:51symbolizes the new lunar year.
21:53This celebration is much more
21:55than a simple passage to the new year.
21:58It is a real moment
21:59that brings families together
22:01to honor their ancestors,
22:02chase bad energies
22:04and welcome prosperity.
22:06In Beijing,
22:07inhabitants braved
22:08ice temperatures
22:09up to minus 10 degrees
22:11to say goodbye
22:12to the year of the dragon.
22:16The show was really spectacular
22:18and very beautiful.
22:19I came here to watch it
22:20with my family and my child.
22:22I wish everyone
22:23a year of the snake
22:24safe, healthy
22:25and full of happiness.
22:27Each year is placed
22:28on the sign
22:29of an animal of the Asian zodiac.
22:312025 is the year of the snake.
22:34The animal represents
22:35the renewal
22:36of the fact that it moves.
22:37This sign also symbolizes
22:39intelligence and prudence.
22:41The lunar new year
22:42is often celebrated
22:43under cultural or artistic themes.
22:46And this year,
22:47the city of Hong Kong
22:48has combined
22:49modern tradition and technology.
22:52There are optical projections
22:53as well as dynamic lights
22:55and shadows
22:56in 3D at night.
22:57It's quite innovative.
22:58I think it's an ideal place
23:00to have fun as a family
23:01in the atmosphere of the new year.
23:04Throughout Asia,
23:05families gather
23:06to pay homage
23:07to their ancestors
23:08through prayers
23:09and share
23:10delicious meals
23:11together.
23:12Stations
23:13and airports
23:14around the country
23:15have been crowded
23:16in recent days.
23:17With eight consecutive days
23:18of holidays,
23:19hundreds of thousands
23:20of people
23:21return
23:22to spend
23:23their holidays
23:24with their loved ones.
23:25A migration
23:26that could reach
23:27new records
23:28this year.
23:30This is the end
23:31of this newscast.
23:33Stay tuned
23:34for more news
