00:00We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for remaining faithful to us, here are the
00:19titles of your day.
00:21Morocco and France are breathing new life into their legal cooperation after the visit
00:27this morning of the French Minister of Justice Gérald Darmanin, received in Rabat by his
00:32Moroccan counterpart from Latifuaria.
00:35The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
00:41arrived in Saudi Arabia this Monday for discussions that could prove crucial
00:47on the war with Russia.
00:51In Syria, the new authorities are announcing the end of military operations and in agreement
00:56with the head of the Syrian Democratic Forces, dominated by the Kurds, to integrate all
01:03civil and military institutions.
01:08Before developing these titles, if you are in the kingdom, you have certainly noticed
01:13that the weather is far from being pleasant.
01:15A weather alert of red alert levels, heavy rains, sometimes stormy, are planned tomorrow
01:22in several provinces of the kingdom.
01:25This will be the case in Tangier, Assyria, Farsanjra, Larache, Kenitra, Sidi Qasem, Tetouan,
01:31Chefchaouen, Wazan, Tawna, Taza and Al-Husayman.
01:35The same phenomenon with cumulonimbus of 25 to 35 mm will occur tomorrow from 13 to 23
01:42hours in the provinces of Rabat, Saleh, Srinath, Temara, Khmisset, Ifran and Khenifra.
01:52French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin is on a business trip in the kingdom.
01:56He was received this morning by his Moroccan counterpart Abdel Latif Wahbi.
02:01A report on the judicial cooperation between the two countries and a joint declaration
02:07of strategic priorities.
02:09Back on the strong times of their exchanges with Dine Amrini.
02:16While the judicial cooperation between Morocco and France continues to strengthen,
02:21especially in the fight against drug trafficking, the Moroccan Justice Minister Abdel Latif Wahbi
02:27welcomed on Monday his French counterpart Gérald Darmanin.
02:31Objective, to evoke the fight against terrorism and organized crime.
02:36This meeting is also an opportunity to draw up an in-depth assessment of the progress
02:42made in the legal and judicial cooperation between the two countries.
02:47It is also an opportunity to scrutinize the future prospects of this collaboration
02:52and to discuss contemporary issues of common interest.
02:55During this meeting, a joint statement of the ministers of justice of the two countries
03:00was signed.
03:01This is the result of the exchanges that had started since the drafting of the action plan
03:06signed on May 31, 2024.
03:09The one whose objective was to fight against terrorism and organized crime.
03:15The two ministers stressed the strategic importance of this axis,
03:19which represents a major threat both on the national and international level.
03:24I thank very sincerely my friend the Minister of Justice for his friendship,
03:28his welcome and the very important work that Morocco and France have together
03:34on issues that affect justice for our fellow citizens.
03:37First of all, issues of everyday justice.
03:39Mr. Minister is very attached to the functioning of the family,
03:43on simplifications, the digitization that can be brought for Moroccan citizens
03:48and French citizens, but also for lawyers, for law professions.
03:53And I thank very sincerely Morocco, Mr. Minister,
03:56for the great cooperation that we have,
03:59especially in the fight against drug traffickers.
04:02We know how to count on a Moroccan justice,
04:06very attentive to the security of the French.
04:09And I thank him because we had a long exchange yesterday evening and this morning
04:13on the very important files for France
04:15and especially on the arrest in Marrakech very recently
04:21on people supposed to be very dangerous
04:25having participated in the escape of Mr. Hamra in France.
04:29These people, arrested by the Moroccan services,
04:33we hope, will be in the next few days
04:37sent to the French national territory to respond to their actions
04:41before the French justice.
04:43And without the work of Morocco,
04:45in this precise case, but like the previous cases
04:47and like all those to which I can not make reference publicly,
04:50France would be less safe.
04:52And so it is really a great sign of friendship,
04:54a great sign of professionalism
04:56and a great work that we have in common
04:58that I came to say to Mr. Minister
05:00to thank him very sincerely for his action
05:02and that of his administration.
05:08The meeting with my friend and French counterpart Gerard Darmanin
05:11was a sincere meeting
05:13and allowed us to discuss many common issues
05:16such as the exchange of criminals,
05:18agreements and common affairs
05:20as well as the social and economic situation
05:22of Moroccans living in France.
05:24Agreements on the situation of lawyers
05:26have also been mentioned.
05:28We are very optimistic
05:30about the relationship and collaboration
05:32between the two countries.
05:34The situation of Moroccans in France
05:36regarding their social situation
05:38and especially their personal situation.
05:40We have also drawn up some agreements
05:42with the lawyers
05:44and we will review them
05:47Faced with the evolution of criminal networks
05:49and the mechanisms of profit they generate,
05:51this threat significantly affects
05:53sovereignty, security, economy,
05:55the environment
05:57and the development of the two nations.
05:59Since then,
06:01France and Morocco have reaffirmed
06:03their common will
06:05to intensify their efforts
06:07to circumvent these phenomena
06:09and face them
06:11by mobilizing the necessary resources
06:13including those related to the legal field.
06:15Ministers have also agreed
06:17on the importance of the continuous training
06:19of professionals in the sector,
06:21the implementation of programs
06:23dedicated to the improvement
06:25of administrative management
06:27and legislative development
06:29as well as the exchange of expertise
06:31in all areas related to justice.
06:35In this context,
06:37how is the security cooperation
06:39between Morocco and France going?
06:41I have the floor with Alain Jullier,
06:43CEO of DGSE,
06:45and President of the Academy
06:47of Economic Intelligence.
06:49On terrorism,
06:51for a long time now,
06:53there have been excellent relations
06:55and a lot of work has been done
06:57on a very effective collaboration
06:59between Morocco and France.
07:01This has been said and affirmed
07:03for a long time,
07:05but indisputably,
07:07the quality of relations
07:09between France and Morocco
07:11and the work we do together
07:13in the fight against terrorism
07:15will continue to improve.
07:17This is very important
07:19and fundamental.
07:21On criminality,
07:23it is the same.
07:25It is true that this is a field
07:27in which we have not worked enough
07:29in the past.
07:31We have worked,
07:33we have had good relations,
07:35but we have not worked enough
07:37in relation to what we could do together
07:39on the potential and possibilities
07:41of the two countries.
07:43I think this meeting
07:45between our two Ministers of Justice
07:47is excellent,
07:49because it will improve things.
07:51On the French side,
07:53as you know,
07:55the Minister of Justice
07:57was before the Minister of the Interior,
07:59so he speaks of a field
08:01he knows perfectly well.
08:03The discussion has been very fruitful.
08:05I think it is good
08:07because it means that
08:09the Franco-Moroccan relations
08:11in relation to the fight
08:13against terrorism and criminality
08:15will still be strengthened,
08:17which is beneficial for everyone,
08:19for France,
08:21for the Kingdom of Morocco,
08:23and everyone is a winner.
08:25Alain Jullien, former Director
08:27of DSE's Intelligence,
08:29has also come back on the political issues
08:31of Gérald Darmanin's visit
08:33to Morocco together.
08:35Today, if you will,
08:37terrorism, as well as
08:39great criminality,
08:41are international.
08:43It is indisputable.
08:45So, from the moment
08:47when we have in addition,
08:49in France,
08:51as with other countries,
08:53as we have a lot of refugees
08:55from Morocco,
08:57it is important that there are very close
08:59links between the Kingdom of Morocco
09:01and France
09:03in order to be able to manage the problems
09:05and instead of suffering them,
09:07to be able to anticipate them.
09:09On the one hand, it is important to know
09:11that if something is being built
09:13at the level of a terrorist action,
09:15as we have seen recently
09:17in Morocco
09:19in relation to the Sahel,
09:21it is important to anticipate it,
09:23to intervene before it happens.
09:25But for that,
09:27police services,
09:29ministries,
09:31then exchange information
09:33to improve themselves
09:35by exchanging their information.
09:37As for criminality,
09:39it is exactly the same thing.
09:41Because in this current international aspect
09:43where everyone moves in all directions
09:45and also uses,
09:47we must not forget,
09:49all modern means,
09:51especially digital,
09:53to carry out their operations,
09:55we must know each other well,
09:57be confident and exchange
09:59at the level of the States
10:01to be able to ensure the best possible security
10:03of our fellow citizens.
10:05So I believe that what is happening
10:07is an excellent thing.
10:09In addition, it will contribute
10:11to tightening the links between Morocco
10:13and France at a time
10:15when it is very interesting for everyone
10:17and it is all the more
10:19better,
10:21if I may say so,
10:23as you know,
10:25we have had a much more difficult period
10:27even if,
10:29during this difficult period,
10:31there were still links,
10:33fortunately,
10:35that continued to function
10:37at the level of justice
10:39and at the level of the interior.
10:41Could France's recognition
10:43of Morocco's sovereignty
10:45on its Sahara
10:47have repercussions
10:49on this visit
10:51and on security cooperation
10:53between the two countries?
10:55There is a destabilization
10:57at the level of terrorism
10:59in the Sahel,
11:01so we must closely monitor the Sahel
11:03and the Moroccan Sahara
11:05is particularly well placed
11:07from a geographical point of view
11:09to be able to be a place
11:11from which we can monitor
11:13what is happening.
11:15So, on the one hand,
11:17for the Moroccan forces
11:19and the others,
11:21but it can also be very interesting
11:24Video Game Incubator,
11:26the program for the incubation
11:28of nine Moroccan start-ups
11:30specialized in the field of gaming
11:32has been launched today
11:34in Rabat in the presence
11:36of the Minister of Youth,
11:38Culture and Communication
11:40and a delegation of the Mossad
11:42of France in Morocco.
11:44This program, which extends
11:46on five sides, aims to support
11:48Moroccan video game entrepreneurs
11:50in the structuring, development
11:52and perennialization of their businesses
11:54while accelerating their rise
11:56in skills and reinforcing
11:58synergies between Moroccan actors
12:00of this ecosystem
12:02and the international.
12:04I invite you to listen to the founder
12:06and director of the company
12:08Level Link Partners,
12:10Julien Vidje.
12:12This program was designed
12:14by video game experts,
12:16both pioneers and veterans,
12:18inspired by programs
12:20of international dimension.
12:22The goal is to support
12:24the development and structuring
12:26of the video game industry in Morocco.
12:28We will support
12:30for seven months,
12:32five months of incubation
12:34and two months of incubation follow-up
12:36nine video game companies,
12:38two video game creations in Morocco.
12:40The goal is to bring these companies
12:42to a level of skills
12:44and international requirements
12:46but also to connect them
12:48to the global industry.
12:50I want to announce in the titles
12:52the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
12:54and the US Secretary of State
12:56Marco Rubio arrived
12:58in solid Arabic
13:00for discussions that could
13:02prove crucial
13:04on the war with Russia.
13:06The meeting tomorrow should be the first
13:08between Ukrainian and American officials
13:10since the disastrous visit
13:12of Volodymyr Zelensky
13:14at the White House in late February
13:16to a spectacular verbal game.
13:22Syrian authorities have announced
13:24the end of the military operation
13:26against the followers of Bashar al-Assad.
13:28An offensive marked,
13:30according to the Syrian Observatory
13:32of Human Rights, by the worst violence
13:34since the fall of the former president
13:36in December.
13:38Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharif
13:40promised during the weekend
13:42to pursue those responsible.
13:44The total number of victims
13:46is more than 1,000,
13:48including women and children.
13:54Still in Syria, the President
13:56announced today
13:58an agreement with the head
14:00of the Syrian Democratic Forces
14:02dominated by the Kurds,
14:04Mazloum Abdi,
14:06to integrate all relevant
14:08civil and military institutions
14:10of the Kurdish Autonomous Administration
14:12The announcement of this agreement,
14:14whose implementation is planned
14:16by the end of the year,
14:18intervenes while Syria has experienced
14:20these last days in the west of the country
14:22and its worst violence since the fall
14:24of the former President Bashar al-Assad.
14:28An Israeli delegation
14:30to Qatar for indirect negotiations
14:32concerning the second phase
14:34of the truce with Hamas.
14:36Negotiators of the Palestinian movement
14:38arrived from several places
14:40in the capital, Qatari.
14:42After several heart-to-heart meetings,
14:44the American special envoy
14:46for the hostages held in Gaza
14:48evokes an agreement on their release
14:50in the coming weeks,
14:52qualifying these recent
14:54direct discussions as very useful.
14:58And you know, to put pressure
15:00on Hamas, Israel
15:02has decided to cut
15:04electricity supply in Gaza,
15:06a decision described as
15:08worrying by the UN.
15:10Without electricity, with
15:12the fuel blocked,
15:14the last water dissemination plants,
15:16health establishments and bakeries
15:18in Gaza risk closing
15:20with serious consequences
15:22for civilians. A decision
15:24taken a week after the blockade
15:26of the humanitarian aid pipeline
15:28in the Palestinian territory.
15:32The future Prime Minister of Canada,
15:34Mark Carney, is on his way
15:36to make a statement
15:38against the American President
15:40Donald Trump, assuring
15:42in an offensive speech
15:44that his country will win
15:46and will never be part
15:48of the United States in any way
15:50that it is. The former
15:5259-year-old central banker
15:54has promised to build
15:56a new economy and to create
15:58new trade relations.
16:00He will officially become
16:02Prime Minister in the coming days
16:04after 10 years in power.
16:10The Democratic Republic of Congo
16:12is facing the fall of
16:14cobalt prices, which has recently suspended
16:16for four months all
16:18export of this strategic ore,
16:20of which it is the world's first producer.
16:22The unexpected measure
16:24could move RDC
16:26away from potential investors
16:28but also encourage
16:30ultra-dependent buyers
16:32of these resources to find
16:34alternatives.
16:38In Gabon, four candidates
16:40out of 23 have been retained
16:42for the presidential election on April 12.
16:44Among the main figures
16:46of this scrutiny, there is
16:48the current president of the transition
16:50and the one who was the last
16:52Prime Minister, Dali Bongo.

17:04and the former last Prime Minister
17:06Dali Bongo, Alain-Claude Bilebindye.
17:08The CNOSER has carefully
17:10examined their conformity.
17:12It is by
17:14alphabetical order of
17:16Mr.
17:18Bilebindye Alain-Claude

17:5682, 86,
17:5887,
18:0088, 170
18:02and 179,
18:04which set the modalities
18:06and conditions related to
18:08the declaration of candidacy
18:10as well as the reasons for the rejection
18:12of the candidacy files.
18:14The favorite of this election remains the current
18:16president of the transition, now available
18:18to do politics.
18:20I am happy today to inform you that
18:22the Ministry of National Defense
18:24has responded favorably
18:26to my appointment.
18:28That is to say
18:30that today
18:32and since
18:34February 27, 2025
18:36I am able
18:38to do politics.
18:40Among the 19 rejected candidates
18:42are those of three female candidates.
18:44This presidential election will be
18:46the first since the military
18:48took power on August 30,
18:502023.
18:52Senegal hosted
18:54the third extraordinary session
18:56of the ministers of the Organization for the
18:58Valuation of the Gambia River.
19:00A meeting was held in Dakar
19:02to discuss the work
19:04of the completion of the hydraulic dam
19:06of Saint-Bagallou launched
19:08in 2022 and which is
19:10about to leave the land.
19:12Correspondence from Dakar with Marimo Djop and Shehnaou.
19:14At the request
19:16of the Conference of Heads of State
19:18and Government of the OMVG,
19:20we are told that the internal
19:22of the hydraulic dam of Saint-Bagallou
19:24has been carried out.
19:26This extraordinary session
19:28is therefore an opportunity for these members
19:30to comment on the results of the survey.
19:32The axes
19:34that come out of this report are of course
19:36technical problems
19:38that had to be addressed more
19:40since the site
19:42is in the process of realization
19:44which is realized at 31%
19:46on the physical side
19:48and also 32-33%
19:50on the financial side.
19:52But all this now requires
19:54a systematic review.
19:56There are responsibilities
19:58both on the part of the companies
20:00that were on site, in the management
20:02also of the organizations,
20:04in the positions of the different actors
20:06intervening on the project.
20:08All this has been shown and it is on this basis
20:10that we will make the appropriate decisions.
20:12This hydroelectric dam
20:14has a capacity of 128 MW
20:16and a potential irrigation
20:18of 90,000 hectares.
20:20The project will constitute
20:22one of the main sources of supply
20:24of the interconnection line
20:26of the organization for the enhancement
20:28of the Gambia River,
20:30hence the importance of restarting
20:32the work on new bases.
20:34There is a manifest will
20:36of all States
20:38to be able to overcome these obstacles
20:40and resume the work
20:42at the level of Saint-Bagallou
20:44which is a galloping demography
20:46of the needs that only the Croats have
20:48in terms of energy
20:50and who speaks of energy
20:52speaks of transformed economy.
20:54If there is no energy,
20:56there is no economy.
20:58The most important thing is that
21:00Saint-Bagallou is also dedicated
21:02to the birth of SOGESART
21:04which is the company that will pilot
21:06the issue of energy management
21:08and the dam which is already
21:10being implemented.
21:12It is in the Republic of Guinea
21:14that the SOGESART headquarters
21:16will be installed.
21:18The heads of state have already
21:20decided on the distribution
21:22of the different posts between
21:24the Member States.
21:26It is a very big step forward
21:28and we are happy to say
21:30that in the coming months
21:32the management company
21:34will be operational
21:36and the dam will be restarted
21:38and that in the short term
21:40there will be an increase
21:42of about €388 million
21:44by the group Vinci Andrici
21:46but the Senegalese government
21:48has taken care of the project.
21:50The end of the traditional
21:52struggle tournament
21:54marking the 50th anniversary
21:56of the CDAO,
21:58the West African organization
22:00more and more contested
22:02for its political positions.
22:0455 traditional fighters
22:06from 11 countries
22:08of the West African sub-region
22:10were gathered in Abuja
22:12for a traditional African struggle tournament
22:14organized on the occasion
22:16of the 50th anniversary of the CDAO.
22:18West African athletes
22:20fought for three days
22:22at the national stadium of Abuja.
22:24I tell myself that I have made
22:26a lot of progress because
22:28it was not my first participation
22:30in the TOLAC.
22:32The other participations
22:34had not reached this level.
22:36It is true that it did not work
22:38but I am proud of myself.
22:46The traditional struggle
22:48in West Africa practiced
22:50mainly by men
22:52is a popular sport
22:54throughout the region.
22:56Women participated
22:58for the first time
23:00in the fight during
23:02the tournament in Abuja.
23:04We had to face
23:06many challenges
23:08which cost us the loss
23:10of two players
23:12and we ended up
23:14with three out of five.
23:16The situation was really
23:18difficult for us
23:20but we remained focused
23:22and determined.
23:24We will do everything
23:26to get there.
23:28For the case of Togo,
23:30the situation was different
23:32because of the impact
23:34on the performance of the country
23:36at the tournament.
23:38Togo did not compete
23:40as a team
23:42because you need
23:44at least three fighters
23:46to make a team.
23:48But when you have
23:50two out of five athletes
23:52you cannot compete
23:54as a team
23:56you can only compete
23:58as an individual.
24:00The Nigerian champion
24:02of last year
24:04was very absent
24:06from the fight this year
24:08just like Mali
24:10and Burkina Faso.
24:12These countries led
24:14by military regimes
24:16have decided to leave
24:18the CDAO.
24:20A rupture that regrets
24:22the Senegalese coach
24:24Bafa Gueye.
24:26Yes, in any case
24:28we are here to break.
24:30Sport does not deserve this.
24:32These are developing countries
24:34like Burkina Faso
24:36but if they do not participate
24:38they are done.
24:40In the absence of the title holders
24:42Senegal is the winner
24:44after its victory
24:46in the 13th edition of the tournament
24:48of the traditional fight of the CDAO
24:50the economic community of the states
24:52of West Africa.
24:54The country won three medals
24:56at the end of this day.
24:58Thank you for following it.
25:00In a few moments
25:02a new point is on the agenda.
