00:25 which constitutes a new judicial turn for the police and has been revealed in France.
00:30 Details to follow in this news.
00:32 Multilateral action is the only option to fight terrorism,
00:41 this is what the Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Borreta said

00:52 on the fight against this plague and the training in Africa based in Arabia.

01:31 which constitutes a new judicial turn for the police and has been revealed in France.
01:37 This new judicial turn for the police comes a few weeks after the one that the High Court of London
01:44 had inflicted on the support of the police in the United Kingdom.

02:30 The Tarascon court has just suspended the Peasant Confederation,
02:35 which has become completely convinced of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara.
02:41 The suspension of the Tarascon court is another step after that of London,
02:46 proving the solidity of the position of the kingdom at the level of the legal plebiscites
02:50 that it presented in the framework of the agricultural agreement with the European Union.

03:11 The tension is still alive in the Tindouf camps.
03:15 This Tuesday, about 60 people, including about 30 women,
03:18 came aboard 20 vehicles and beat the pavement in Rabouni.
03:22 They are from the Gibet tribe, and they wanted to demonstrate in front of the headquarters of the HCR
03:28 to demand the immediate release of their cousin from the tribe, Selm Lainane Suid,
03:34 in detention since April 30 in the prison of Hibiya.
03:37 But these protesters could not get close to the headquarters of the HCR.
03:42 They were prevented by the police forces to make themselves heard.
03:47 They started a march on the road to Rabouni,
03:52 in the direction of the so-called General Secretariat of the HCR,
03:58 waving the flag of the pseudo-RASD and portraits of their cousin Selm Lainane Suid.
04:01 They also took several roll-calls and posters to demand more protection
04:06 against the executions committed by the HCR and to claim their rights as refugees,
04:11 particularly freedom of movement and work.
04:19 What would be the most effective strategy to fight terrorism?
04:24 The multilateral action is the only option to combat this scourge,
04:28 according to the Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Boureda.
04:32 This was expressed in a pre-recorded statement addressed at a high-level meeting
04:37 on the positive impact of the UN's program for the fight against terrorism
04:43 and the training in Africa based in Rabat,
04:46 a meeting co-chaired by Morocco and the UN.
04:50 According to Nasser Boureda, 60% of all deaths from terrorism in the world in 2022
04:57 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, against 48% in 2021.
05:02 In 6 days of the year, an anti-ISIS attack carried out by two gunmen killed 4 people on Tuesday,
05:11 13 people in total were killed.
05:14 In two days of violence, the attack took place near a gas station
05:18 near the Israeli colony of Eli, between Ramallah and Naples,
05:23 in the north of the territory occupied by Israel since 1967.
05:28 The two attackers were killed after killing two people from Eli
05:33 and a young man living in the center of Israel.
05:36 The identity of the fourth victim is not yet known.
05:39 The day before, a Palestinian member of the Islamic Jihad was killed by Israeli soldiers
05:46 near Beit Lahm, in the south of the Jordan River,
05:50 after an Israeli military raid in the camp of refugees from Jenin,
05:55 during which six Palestinians in a combatant of the Islamic Jihad were killed.
06:06 We are now interested in the launch of the Anna Moukawil program,
06:10 a program for the support of 100,000 entrepreneurs, project leaders,
06:15 self-employed people, informal economic units and very small businesses.
06:21 The Minister of Economic Inclusion of the Small Business of Employment and Skills
06:28 attended this Tuesday the launch ceremony of the program.
06:32 Abdelmoula Boukhris reports the story of Alaa Anani.
06:37 Accompanying 100,000 entrepreneurs by 2026,
06:43 this is the challenge that the government has given itself by launching this Tuesday Anna Moukawil,
06:47 thus supporting project leaders who want to integrate the structured economy.
06:52 The novelty in this program is that we are not going to create 100,000 new startups,
07:00 but we want to support the existing self-employed people,
07:04 the project leaders and especially those who work in the informal sector.
07:08 This is the first time that a Moroccan government will distribute checks
07:11 to small self-employed people to help them rent a place to go down or work.
07:16 A second check will be distributed so that they can legally exercise their activities.
07:21 A third check will be for their training.
07:24 A third check will be for their training.
07:30 During this meeting, several partnerships have been signed,
07:35 in particular with the Ministry of Higher Education, the OFPPT or the CGEM.
07:40 The objective is to offer or benefit from integrated and free support,
07:45 as well as targeted assistance in the form of a check for advice,
07:48 check for training, check for management or rent subsidy.
07:52 At the university, young people want to accumulate knowledge.
07:58 It should be noted that many companies fail because they can no longer follow the evolution of knowledge,
08:04 as in the field of artificial intelligence, for example.
08:07 Our partnership with the Ministry of Economic Inclusion will be part of this framework,
08:12 which will precisely frame future self-employed people.
08:19 Small and very small companies are the backbone of the country's economy.
08:25 They represent more than 95% of companies.
08:29 They are mainly generating job opportunities.
08:33 These small and very small companies must be supported,
08:37 because they suffer from undercapitalization,
08:40 the difficulty of accessing public offer appeals,
08:43 and above all, the competition of the informal sector.
08:46 According to the Moroccan Confederation of SMEs,
08:49 some 250,000 of these companies would be threatened with bankruptcy,
08:53 hence the importance of this government program, which is just being named.
08:58 It will be very hot in Morocco.
09:01 A wave of heat is expected on Friday and next Tuesday in different provinces of the kingdom,
09:06 with temperatures in the upper and lower 20s.
09:09 The General Directorate of Meteorology has forecast temperatures of 34 and 45 degrees.
09:16 Among the provinces concerned,
09:18 Tiaounet, Ouzane, Meknes, Fes, Stat, Rhamna, Tata, Assazag, Smara and Oussed
09:25 are also concerned.
09:27 The hot weather will persist with temperatures in the upper and lower 20s.
09:32 There is also the heat wave in the north of the city of Ait Melloul, in the Idoutenane region.
09:39 Temperatures will persist with temperatures ranging from 34 to 37 degrees,
09:43 as planned for Sunday.
09:45 On Tuesday, Mohamedia and Rabat will arrive in Casablanca, in the south of the country.
09:49 And now, the place for Libido Africa.
09:55 Libido Africa, our weekly meeting in partnership with the Timbuktu Institute.
10:12 Every Wednesday, we receive experts on strategic issues for the African continent.
10:18 The Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Africa at the forefront of Europe,
10:24 is the theme of our section today.
10:27 To talk about it, we are live with Dr. Bakari Samb, Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
10:34 Hello, Dr. Bakari Samb, and thank you for being with us.
10:38 Hello, and thank you for the invitation.
10:42 Dr. Bakari Samb, during your interventions in the Senegalese press,
10:49 you described the African mediation initiative led by African heads of state,
10:54 including President Maki Sall, as a historical moment in the history of international relations.
11:01 Why such an opinion from you?
11:05 Yes, thank you.
11:07 You know that up to this point, when we look at the distant history of international relations,
11:16 it is as if Africa was always undergoing things.
11:22 Since the Berlin Conference, where Africa had to be shared by its powers,
11:27 since colonization, where Africa had to suffer the disenfranchisement of other continents,
11:34 notably Europe, the First World War, the Second World War, the Yalta Conference,
11:39 the creation of the SDN, the establishment of the UN,
11:43 on all these events that I have just listed,
11:47 Africa was in a passive position and was undergoing this history.
11:51 And there, for the first time, in a complex geopolitical context,
11:56 Africa takes the initiative, the initiative of peace.
12:00 Africa is no longer the subject of debate, Africa is no longer on the agenda of discussions,
12:06 but Africa is around the table, around the essential question,
12:10 which is to bring peace to the world level.
12:13 And it took the initiative with its heads of state,
12:17 after having been, for example, with President Putin,
12:21 notably the appointment of President Maki Sall as President of the African Union,
12:26 and in the past, in a recent past,
12:30 but today it is Africa that takes the stick, its pilgrim's stick,
12:33 which meets a power like Russia, which meets President Zelensky,
12:38 despite his affiliation to NATO and the difficulty of this mission,
12:44 which could not be the taste of some who thought that Africa should align today,
12:52 but that Africa has taken its difficult, acceptable positions, or not, from some,
12:57 but which are affirmed as geopolitical realities.
12:59 This is why I speak of historical moments,
13:02 of quite important moments in the history of international relations.
13:07 Very well. President Senegalese Maki Sall spoke of the need to leave,
13:13 I quote, "a corridor of dialogue",
13:16 but many wonder about the weight that Africa could have in this conflict of giants,
13:23 or even the great powers, barely to find a solution to the escalation.
13:29 So in this context, what can Africa do to change the course of things?
13:36 The hot position of Africa is different from that of the other powers,
13:41 because Africa has become a mediating continent,
13:46 but accepted by both parties.
13:50 We saw it at the beginning of the crisis with the movements I spoke of earlier with President Putin.
13:57 We also saw it with the way in which some African countries,
14:01 although divided on the position to take on the conflict,
14:05 affirmed their own position,
14:09 not in the cradle of one party or another,
14:16 but as geopolitical realities,
14:18 affirming their will to express themselves with their own interests on this conflict.
14:29 There is one very important thing,
14:31 and I think that the "corridor of dialogue" that President Macky Sall spoke of
14:36 is very important,
14:38 because we saw on the side of powers like China,
14:42 or other European powers,
14:44 I'm not talking about them,
14:45 that there was a commitment,
14:47 in any case, to put ourselves aside on one side or the other,
14:51 whereas Africa has a mediating voice,
14:53 which is the one of dialogue,
14:55 which is possible in the face of the language of escalation
14:58 that we find on both sides.
14:59 I think it is very important to indicate the voice of dialogue,
15:03 and it is a voice that could have been heard,
15:06 in its relation to President Putin,
15:08 although it was very difficult on the part of Ukraine,
15:12 for the reasons we know,
15:14 and that Ukraine thinks it is in a position to climb the slope,
15:18 but I think it is very symbolic on the part of African states to commit,
15:23 African states also, for once,
15:25 today, to propose the media voice of dialogue.
15:28 Dr. Bakarisson, after this visit of African heads of state
15:32 in Kiev and St. Petersburg,
15:35 what could we expect from this African mediation?
15:40 Do you really think that Africa will still have its say
15:44 in this crisis that may continue?
15:48 Africa will always have its say in this conflict.
15:52 There is a new geopolitical situation,
15:54 which means that the geopolitical or geostrategic shift
15:58 of the African continent to any side,
16:01 can now play on the balance,
16:05 or at least can weigh on the balance of forces.
16:10 That is to say that today, if Africa leans on one side,
16:14 this side is sure to be in a position to win the war.
16:18 And this enviable position of Africa today is to take advantage of,
16:22 not only to defend the interests of Africa,
16:25 but also to position itself as a continent
16:28 that can weigh the balance on one side or the other,
16:32 and to take advantage of this position to better preach peace.
16:38 I think this is a healthy and symbolic step today,
16:44 as I said, looking at the past,
16:47 looking at the development of international relations in recent years,
16:51 and today this new position of Africa as a geopolitical reality,
16:55 due especially to the efforts that were made
16:58 by the President of Senegal and the African Union,
17:01 and with the alignment of all these circumstances,
17:04 which makes Africa a real geopolitical reality
17:07 that can now weigh on the balance,
17:10 and whose voice is audible and can count
17:13 in the context of new international relations.
17:16 Dr. Bakari Samp, thank you for answering our questions.
17:21 I remind you that you are the Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
17:26 This concludes this newscast.
17:43 Thank you for watching.
17:44 Stay with us.
