01:40 Video game enthusiasts will be served.
01:42 The first edition of the Morocco Gaming Expo opened this Friday in Rabat
01:47 with the initiative of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication,
01:51 placed under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
01:54 This pioneering event in Morocco and Africa brought together several international figures
01:58 from the gaming industry, from 16 different countries,
02:02 with as guest of honor Takaya Imamura,
02:05 illustrator, designer and creator of Japanese video games.
02:07 I suggest you listen to the intervention of the Moroccan Minister of Culture,
02:12 Communication and Youth.
02:15 I could start by the importance of the figures, which is overwhelming.
02:19 What the gaming industry represents, and especially the growth rate of this industry,
02:23 gives us a headache.
02:25 It will soon surpass the values of the established industries,
02:28 such as the pharmaceutical or automotive sectors.
02:31 But I will especially highlight another dimension, the most important in my eyes.
02:36 Gaming, and more generally the cultural and creative industries, the ICC,
02:41 is not just any economic sector. Its primary matter is our cultures,
02:45 our imagination, our creativity and our youth in the first place.
02:51 What we observe for us, Moroccans and more generally for the countries of the South,
02:55 is a massive, permanent leak of this primary matter.
02:59 Like the brain leak, we are witnessing the leak of our creativity.
03:04 Because culture, creativity and African youth participate in the cultural globalization we live in.
03:10 Our natural landscapes, our heritage, our history, our stories,
03:15 serve to feed the cultural and creative industries of the world.
03:19 Thus, for example, the young talents of Morocco contribute massively to imagine,
03:23 write, draw, animate games in the world.
03:26 But here in Morocco, we remain essentially consumers.
03:30 Our will is to go from a passive consumption logic to a production logic.
03:36 Israel reacted this Friday to the decision of the International Court of Justice,
03:40 ordering it to immediately stop its offensive on Rafa.
03:43 The Israeli government affirms that these military operations
03:46 posed no existential risk for the Palestinian civilian population.
03:50 The highest UN jurisdiction has also ordered Israel to put an end to its military offensive
03:56 and to keep open the passage of Rafa between Egypt and Gaza.
04:00 This unique point of passage between Egypt and the Gaza Strip is closed
04:04 after Israel took control.
04:06 Egypt has obtained Israel's green light to resume talks
04:13 in view of the release of hostages held in Palestine.
04:16 In France, William Burns, head of the CIA, is also expected to try to restart the dialogue with Israel.
04:22 For his part, the French president must receive the Prime Minister and head of Qatar's diplomacy,
04:29 the Foreign Ministry of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan to take stock of the situation in the Middle East.
04:35 The European Union plans to take control of the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
04:46 A decision that would be applied once the war between the two parties is over.
04:50 The European Union is said to be ready to restart and expand the Eubam mission,
04:54 or the European Personnel, which is to participate in the control of people and goods.
04:59 The mission was suspended in 2007 and the head of European diplomacy will discuss it on Monday in Brussels
05:04 during a meeting with the Foreign Ministers of the European Union.
05:08 The Rafa border, the only point of passage to Egypt, is currently closed by Israel,
05:13 which has launched a military operation in this part of the Gaza Strip.
05:22 Agadir, the African Lion military exercise is back for a new edition,
05:26 a program launched as part of the Moroccan-American military cooperation in the management of disasters
05:31 and the fight against weapons of mass destruction.
05:34 Details with Al Benani.
05:36 Among the flagship exercises of this edition of the African Lion,
05:41 the exercise of the fight against weapons of mass destruction.
05:45 It is focused mainly on the conduct of reconnaissance operations,
05:49 the neutralization of improvised weapons of mass destruction,
05:53 radiological dispersion machines and decontamination, called NRBC.
05:58 The rescue and rescue unit of military genius is made up of highly qualified human resources
06:07 and sophisticated equipment, allowing it to manage all kinds of natural and technological disasters
06:14 with efficiency and efficiency.
06:17 In this context, we are starting combined exercises, Moroccan-American,
06:22 to fight against weapons of mass destruction.
06:25 Through these exercises, we apply all the theoretical lessons,
06:29 while using all the cutting-edge technologies such as robots,
06:33 drones to perform an optimal preliminary reconnaissance.
06:37 On the ground, the military face an interesting but complex simulation.
06:45 We are in an airport, a bomb comes into play,
06:48 the units must not only intervene before its explosion,
06:52 but above all evacuate the travelers quickly, secure the perimeter and neutralize the threat.
06:59 The scenario of this exercise is a simulation of a terrorist attack in an international airport.
07:09 These are radiological and chemical dispersion machines and improvised explosive machines.
07:15 Our combined exercises, Moroccan-American, teach us how to deal with this kind of situation
07:21 and how to intervene effectively.
07:24 I think this combined exercise is very important for American and Moroccan military.
07:36 We have been working together for years with the same units.
07:39 The USS Defar is one of the best units on the continent
07:43 and among the few teams capable of performing this kind of operation.
07:47 So we are very proud to be able to work with them
07:50 and I hope we can work together for years and years to come.
07:54 It is a great joy to be here in Morocco.
08:02 Contributing to the strengthening of operational, technical and procedural interoperability
08:08 between the participating armies, the African Line 2024 exercise,
08:12 the largest exercise conducted in Africa, remains an essential meeting point
08:16 where military personnel meet to exchange procedures and experiences,
08:21 especially in the field of combined training and inter-armed training.
08:29 The major parties in South Africa are holding a last round of meetings before the general elections on Wednesday.
08:35 These elections promise to be the most contested in 30 years.
08:38 President Cyril Ramaphosa, however, claims to already feel the sweet smell of victory.
08:43 Gangrened by corruption and held responsible for an endemic unemployment,
08:47 a growing burden and a record crime,
08:50 the ANC, the historic party, is likely to record a new decline.
08:55 We are now heading to Marrakech, where the city of Ocre is transforming into a real circus.
09:03 Artists from all over the world will be animating the streets of the city.
09:07 Celebrations are held on the occasion of the Marrakech Festival, the Islamic Capital of Culture.
09:12 And on this occasion, we meet the artist Sader El Bejaoui from the Agafai desert. Good evening.
09:18 Good evening.
09:20 So to begin with, how was the show "Dance with the Horses" born?
09:24 We know that it is a show in the Ecclesiastical, with Arab and Berber influences.
09:28 Can you tell us a little more about it?
09:31 Yes, so it is a creation that is already known in relation to the initiative of the Ministry of Culture.
09:38 There is Awan Mark, he is directed by Khalid Kamer, his director.
09:43 And so it was a request from my father, it was a unique chance to create this show.
09:50 So it's a first and I'm really happy to present it here at Agafai.
09:56 So at 9pm, you will perform in front of many spectators, as usual.
10:03 So you have traveled the world with your passion for the horse.
10:07 Why is it important to create this show in Morocco on your homeland?
10:11 I would say it is an evidence, it is an evidence to come back to the country and to create, produce and promote the request.
10:23 So it was an evidence and with all the cultural richness that we have here in our country,
10:27 whether at the level of artists, horses, from my point of view, because it is my sector.
10:34 We are rich in creativity and the public, we will say, only asks to be dazzled.
10:43 So we try to do our best to make them dream.
10:48 So, Sader Khelbajaoui, can we say that you are first a rider, then an artist or an artist before being a rider?
10:56 We will say rider first because the horse shapes us.
11:02 I would even say beyond rider, I would say horseman because it's not just riding a horse, it's living with the horse, it's taking care of it.
11:10 It's a part of the family.
11:12 So I would say more horseman because since I was a child I was driven by the horse.
11:17 And from there we become rider and then artist and then we try to combine a little bit of everything because it's a passion.
11:24 So it takes a lot of sacrifice, but after when we present it to the public and there is an alchemy,
11:31 we are happy to have made this sacrifice and to give pleasure to the public.
11:35 Thank you Sader Khelbajaoui for your intervention.
11:38 We will let you go for your show.
11:40 It starts in a few moments and we wish you a very good show.
11:44 Thank you very much. See you soon.
11:46 Goodbye.
11:48 Back on the continent, in Niger, where 100 female entrepreneurs have embarked on the learning of digital and artificial intelligence.
11:56 During a week, the Women Connect Tour offers them a digital marketing training with the aim of boosting their business by better use of digital tools.
12:06 Details with Jeanne-Gébriel William.
12:08 How to boost your business with information and communication technology?
12:14 Help you get tired of a simple cell phone?
12:18 This is what Nigerian 100 women selected by the Women Connect Tour have learned.
12:24 Businesswomen, entrepreneurs and product transformers who started this Wednesday a training in digital skills and artificial intelligence.
12:33 We show them how to use smartphones to manage their business,
12:39 to create visuals, to use artificial intelligence platforms,
12:44 and also, as I said, digital marketing, the management of companies with digital tools,
12:51 and above all, all that is reinforcement and improvement of the products manufactured by these women.
13:00 Non-negligible skills and so many new tools that should allow these women entrepreneurs to boost their respective companies.
13:07 An exercise that now involves the conquest of a market more and more turned to digital and digital.
13:14 Today, as you know, the world of entrepreneurship is a rather competitive world,
13:20 and we must master all the tools, put them to our advantage to be able to position ourselves and to be able to occupy a considerable place on social networks.
13:33 If the practical training should end on May 31 for the 100 women concerned,
13:38 the courses should be continued online through the Women Connect Tour platform.
13:43 The goal is to encourage digital initiation for a greater number of women entrepreneurs through Niger.
13:50 Henri Conan Bédier will be reunited in his hometown on June 1.
13:55 Ten months after his death, the former president remains one of the heads of state who will have marked his people the most.
14:02 Max Woubi and Herman Degot have collected some testimonies.
14:06 Almost a year after his death, the sadness remains intense in the face of the departure of a man of state,
14:12 who is called a lover of the Ivory Coast.
14:15 Two weeks of tribute were decreed for the political man who led his country from 1993 to 1999.
14:23 Henri Conan Bédier, or the one who is nicknamed the "Sphinx of Daugrou",
14:26 will have given everything to the Ivory Coast in 89 years of life.
14:31 He is someone who did what was necessary for his country, the Ivory Coast.
14:38 His collaboration with President Alassane Ouattara was truly a fraternal collaboration.
14:48 I remember, through the history of Mr. Henri Conan Bédier,
14:53 the greatness of President Alassane Ouattara, who has proven every time he needed it,
15:01 that he was attached to our cultural values,
15:04 precisely through the respect he gave to President Henri Conan Bédier everywhere.
15:13 The images and concepts are not lacking in the imagination of Ivorians
15:17 when it comes to evoking the journey of Henri Conan Bédier,
15:20 the political leader of the Ivory Coast, or the man of the Third Bridge,
15:24 who remains a working-class figure in the economic stability of his country.
15:28 When you look at the fundamentals of the Ivorian economy,
15:31 it is really him who laid these fundamentals.
15:34 I still remember President Babou's words,
15:37 who said "I did not know that the foundations of the Ivorian economy were so solid".
15:43 I think that this solidity is what President Bédier has for many, since he was Minister from 1966 to 1977.
15:50 For more than 10 years, more than 12 years,
15:53 he has led large projects of modernization of national life
16:00 through the development of the territory, a large program of development of the territory,
16:05 especially in the Western region, to try to balance the economic and social development
16:14 that is concentrated on Abidjan.
16:16 The stage of the obstacles dedicated to the presentation of condolences will last three days,
16:21 then the tribute of the State of Ivory Coast will come on Friday,
16:25 before the annihilation of Henri Conan Bédier,
16:27 on June 1 in his village of Pré-Préceau, in the department of Daoukrou.
16:32 The book "A winning bet" is the theme of the 14th edition of the SILA,
16:38 an international book fair in Abidjan, which is held by several countries.
16:42 Hippolyte Dier-Mendogo gives us the account.
16:45 The benefits of reading for a society are no longer to be proven.
16:50 Reading is essential for general culture and promotes a better understanding of the world
16:55 and the discovery of other realities.
16:57 These are the main reasons that motivated the creation of the Abidjan International Book Fair.
17:02 For the 14th edition of this important meeting,
17:05 the debates revolved around the theme "The book, a winning bet".
17:09 A professional vocation, therefore dedicated to the actors and professionals of the book chain,
17:15 in order to promote their literary news, their editorial catalogs.
17:22 Also an institutional vocation, precisely to involve the executive.
17:31 This forum is also an opportunity for book sector professionals to do good business.
17:37 We find writers installed at the level of the stands.
17:40 They make dedications to their works and take the opportunity to present the synthesis of their work.
17:46 The costs of life are testimonies of facts experienced.
17:51 These are the struggles that some people have experienced.
17:55 I relate them, I deal with them and I publish them in order to give life lessons,
18:01 to allow people to avoid certain traps.
18:04 For the editors of the publishing houses, the book chain plays a major role.
18:09 Thanks to this fair, we meet book professionals who come from all over the world.
18:15 We offer our distribution network.
18:19 We participate in panels, training sessions to get to the level.
18:25 From more than 30 countries, the participants of the International Book Fair of Abidjan express their satisfaction.
18:32 For them, the initiators have taken up the challenge of mobilization.
18:37 When you are working on a book, you are working to find the truth, to find the light, to find the knowledge.
18:46 Any possibility, any organization that puts the book forward, we think we have to work to support this type of activity.
18:57 The initiators hear from other innovations,
19:01 and the next edition will give even more enthusiasm to this important event.
19:07 Let's take a look at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rabat.
19:12 Through an exceptional retrospective exhibition, the museum offers visitors a unique immersion
19:17 in the works of the French artist Armand Fernandez.
19:20 Sheyma Fekri for the explanations.
19:25 Armand, the object of art. An exhibition that pays homage to one of the most important artists of the 20th century.
19:32 An initiative highly appreciated and thanked by the artist's widow, Corice Armand.
19:38 It is an honor for me to make this donation to the museum.
19:44 It is a connection with Armand, he will always be there, forever.
19:51 You have seen that Mrs. Armand, the sculpture she offered, she offered it to His Majesty by saying,
19:57 "I offer it to the museum because it bears the name of His Majesty the King, and it is he who inaugurated it, it is he who wanted it."
20:03 And so today this sculpture is offered to the Moroccan people through His Majesty the King,
20:08 in tribute to the work accomplished and to this vision that His Majesty has for culture and art.
20:16 The exhibition invites to discover how Armand redefined the boundaries of art.
20:21 How this French artist was able to transform the objects of everyday life into fascinating works of art.
20:27 The exhibition highlights his visionary approach to the consumer society and its consequences.
20:34 This exhibition is an added value to the museum.
20:44 The presence of an artwork by Armand is an exclusivity in itself.
20:48 This represents the specificities of this life which has become a cultural life.
20:53 This may be the first time such a work has been exhibited in Africa.
20:56 This reflects the works provided by the Muhammad Yis museum which celebrates a decade of existence.
21:02 The different works of this exhibition are a representation of the timeless dialogue.
21:13 It is worth noting that the exhibition presents unpublished works from the artist's personal collection.
21:21 An opportunity for the Moroccan public to take part in a unique immersion in Armand's artistic universe.
21:28 Thank you for following this newscast, but stay with us for the continued information on Mediain TV.
