00:54 We start this newspaper in Morocco where we know it since yesterday, the date of Eid al-Adha, this Muslim holiday will be celebrated on Thursday, June 29, at our expense yesterday by the Ministry of Habeas and Islamic Affairs.
01:11 New York, where the annual meeting of the UN Committee on the 24th was an opportunity for many countries to reiterate their support for the Moroccan Sahara, but also for the Moroccan plan of autonomy.
01:26 In the UN, the Gulf countries reaffirm their support for the Moroccan Sahara. The representative of Saudi Arabia has underlined that his country reiterates its support for the initiative of autonomy in the Moroccan Sahara as part of the sovereignty of the kingdom and the integrity of its national territory.
01:43 This is a compromise-based solution in accordance with international law, according to the UN Charter, the UN Security Council Resolution and the General Assembly.
01:53 The Saudi diplomat insisted that this initiative was favorably welcomed by the Security Council through its resolutions adopted since 2007.

02:44 At the African level, the Central African Republic also expressed its support for the initiative of autonomy, while calling for the continuation of the round table process with the same formula and the same participants, in this case Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and the Polisario,
02:57 in accordance with the resolution 2654 of the Security Council.
03:02 The representatives of other countries, such as Sierra Leone, Saint Lucia and Papua New Guinea, reiterated their support for the initiative of autonomy in the Moroccan Sahara,
03:09 while recalling that the Security Council described it in its multiple resolutions as serious and credible.
03:16 Back in the kingdom, direction Agadir. The new Abrid program was launched last week. It was designed to support project leaders.
03:29 To learn more about this new program, let's follow the report of Abdelhamid Raboukris, Faysal Abrouch and Suhail Chedi.
03:38 The launch of the Abrid integrated program to support start-ups and small businesses.
03:44 Abrid aims to create a dynamic and balanced ecosystem by promoting entrepreneurship and by offering opportunities for growth to local businesses.
03:52 By bringing together the different public and private actors, Abrid is committed to creating a synergy and to providing quality support to entrepreneurs in the region.
04:02 The Moroccan state has put in place many programs to support young people and to encourage them to start entrepreneurship.
04:10 There were so many programs that young people were a little lost.
04:15 Today, thanks to Abrid, which is a platform that coordinates all these programs,
04:21 today, Agadir Sous Messa is the first region to put this in place, to put a program like this in place,
04:28 so that young people do not get lost and go directly to the platform and find all the existing programs in the region,
04:38 whether it is aid, subsidies, or advice and support.
04:42 Abrid consists of three specific packages adapted to the needs of each entrepreneur profile.
04:47 Abrid Animation is designed for project leaders.
04:50 It offers a set of support programs aimed at instilling the entrepreneurial spirit, providing workplaces, advice, networking and support at the start.
05:00 It is also a question of Abrid Incubation, designed for innovative startups, offering an incubation program aimed at strengthening managerial skills,
05:09 providing a framework conducive to learning, design and business development.
05:14 It is also a question of Abrid Acceleration, designed for self-employed people, for SMEs and for cooperatives,
05:20 and which offers a complete support program focused on strategic, operational and financing areas to support the development and growth of companies.
05:30 I want to announce in the titles, the Emirati flag of New Adoa and the Qatari colors in Dubai.
05:37 The two countries have established their diplomatic representations today, with the resumption of their respective embassies in the Gulf states.
05:46 The head of the Emirati diplomacy and his Qatari counterpart, Samson, congratulated them during a telephone interview.
05:54 Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, I remind you, had cut their ties with Qatar in 2017,
06:01 accusing them of supporting extremist organizations in the region.
06:07 The Malians are now waiting for the results of the referendum.
06:13 They slipped their ballot yesterday in the ballot box to approve or reject the new constitution project proposed by the military in power.
06:22 This vote, a first in three years, has been carried out in a calm manner.
06:27 The 8th should win.
06:29 It remains to be seen the abstention rate, because for the civil society observers, this vote did not arouse the enthusiasm of the voters.
06:36 8,400,000 Malians were called to the polls.
06:40 Salia Traoré is a member of the Coalition for the Citizen Observation of the Mali elections.
06:48 She is in favor of a referendum that took place in a calm manner, but in some localities, the Malians could not vote.
06:55 This is the case, in particular, in Kidal, Salia Traoré, who we are listening to.
06:59 As observers, we deployed observers on the ground.
07:04 Through our observations, we have found that the election took place in a very good part of the territory,
07:13 to not say the entirety of the territory, except the region of Kidal, where the elections did not take place.
07:21 It was a real test for the Independent Authority of Election Management.
07:26 Based on the data we have collected, we have made observations on the angle of a number of points,
07:36 including the installation of the polling stations, the development of the whole process at the level of the closure of polling stations, and also the critical incidents.
07:44 As a result, observers of the Coalition have revealed that the installation of polling stations and the start of the process began at 5.45 p.m. and 8.00 p.m.
07:55 in the time of the total number of localities observed.
07:59 As a result, we have not observed major events that could corrupt the development of the vote, through intimidation or whatever.
08:12 In addition, we have indeed observed critical incidents in certain localities,
08:17 notably in the regions of the Centre-du-Nord and, of course, in the regions of the South,
08:23 notably in the region of Couliboro and also in the regions of Cai, where we have detected cases of incidents.
08:31 These cases of incidents have led, among other things, to the eruption of unidentified armed men in certain localities.
08:38 We can mention the region of Couliboro, the municipalities of Boro and Toubacoro,
08:46 which are located at the level of the Banamba sector, where polling stations have been set on fire by unidentified armed men.
08:53 And the more we go, the more we remain in the same place.
08:57 In a referendum, will you approve or reject the new constitution proposed by the military to power?
09:03 What makes this text so special? What does it provide for the establishment of a presidential regime for the first time?
09:12 Let's listen to Saliha Traoré.
09:15 As you know, it is not a constitutional reform, but it is the elaboration and adoption of a new constitution.
09:22 As a result, we have made analyses, in some respects, that we have shared long before.
09:28 Because the work of the COSEM is not only observation, it is also the commune of Senegal and the Tic-Tac-Toe organization that makes analyses and contributions.
09:35 Following our first contributions, we made a number of points on the reform of the constitution in force, that is, the constitution of 1992.
