02:40scheduled for next year in Nice.
02:42Ministers and representatives of the African states present in the city of Detroit
02:47reminded us of the need to set up integrated and inclusive governance frameworks that promote sustainable management of ocean resources.
02:56During the strong times of this African consultation with Mohamed Sadeqi, Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development and Water and Forestry.
03:06In the context of this African week on the oceans that we have organized, on the issues of the preservation of the oceans and the blue economy
03:16and its impact on the social and economic development of African countries,
03:20we held, in partnership with the United Nations, a consultative ministerial meeting
03:30in preparation for the conference, the World Summit, which will be organized by the United Nations in Nice in June.
03:39This will be the third edition of the Conference on the Oceans.
03:45The objective is that Africa can go there with a single voice,
03:50starting with the discussion of experts first, then ministers,
03:55and therefore in relation to the global issues that are well diagnosed today,
04:02but also in relation to the solutions and in relation to the means to implement all the recommendations
04:10that have come out and that will come out of the conference or rather the summit in Nice.
04:19Whether it is the value chain of fishing or aquaculture or environmental problems
04:29and the whole issue of logistics, all are very important aspects that have been discussed.
04:38Countries have greatly supported and appreciated the approaches and initiatives of the Kingdom of Morocco.
04:47First, the Blue Belt Initiative, which was launched in 2016,
04:52on the instructions of His Majesty the King, may God assist him,
04:56and which was intended to protect the oceans in the African continent.
05:01And then the Atlantic Initiative of His Majesty,
05:05which was launched on the 48th anniversary of the Green Walk,
05:11and which first called for the Atlantic to be an open space for economic, social and human development,
05:21open to all African countries on the shores of the Atlantic, but also to other countries.
05:30We continue this news with the extremely dangerous hurricane Milton,
05:34which hit the ground on Wednesday evening in Florida,
05:37sweeping the coast in violent winds of heavy rain,
05:39flooding the center of this peninsula in the southeast of the United States.
05:43Two weeks after the devastating passage of Helen Milton,
05:47it hit the ground on the west coast of Florida, near Siesta Key in the county of Sarasota,
05:53wrote the American Hurricane Center.
05:55Winds reaching 165 km per hour were recorded in the evening.
06:00This source noted that at least 1.6 million homes were deprived of power on Wednesday night.
06:09Milton should cross West to East Florida, passing near the city of Orlando.
06:16Disney World amusement parks were closed at midday.
06:22Tampa and Sarasota airports are shut down.
06:30And still in the United States, in the month of the presidential election,
06:38Donald Trump has definitively excluded yesterday from facing Kamala Harris during a new debate
06:45and has doubled attacks against his Democratic rival during a meeting in Pennsylvania.
06:50There will be no return match, wrote the Republican billionaire on his social network,
06:55despite CNN and Fox News' proposals to broadcast a face-to-face between the two candidates.
07:03Yesterday, the former president preferred to roll out attacks against Kamala Harris
07:09in front of the crowds, because of her, in Pennsylvania.
07:13The state of the Northeast is advancing as one of the most disputed in the presidential election.
07:18On his side, the Democratic candidate must continue at the end of the week.
07:22There will be two campaign meetings in Arizona and Nevada,
07:25two other states that will be decisive for the election before returning on Monday in Pennsylvania.
07:36In the news also, the United States has put Israel on guard against any offensive in Lebanon
07:42that would look like what happened in the Gaza Strip
07:47when the Israeli army promised to fight Hezbollah relentlessly.
07:51While Israel announced to expand its land offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon,
07:57Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call with US President Joe Biden on Wednesday
08:02to evoke Israel's plan to strike Iran in response to the missile attack launched by Tehran on October 1.
08:09According to the account published by the White House,
08:13Joe Biden asked Benjamin Netanyahu to minimize the impact on Lebanese civilians,
08:19especially in Beirut, while affirming Israel's right to protect its Hezbollah citizens.
08:26This statement does not give details on the response to the attack on Iranian missiles,
08:33but emphasizes that the US President and the Israeli Prime Minister
08:36agreed to remain in close contact in the coming days.
08:44The Mozambicans voted calmly on Wednesday.
08:49The deployment continued to designate the president and renew the parliament,
08:54which should remain under the jurisdiction of FRELIMO, a state party in power for half a century.
09:02The opposition has reported irregularities,
09:05including polling stations where their predecessors could not access,
09:11but no major incident marked the holiday in the Lusophone country of South Africa.
09:17The participation, which was around 50% in the 2019 elections, could be above.
09:25A number of observers were estimated to have confirmed the electoral commission in the media.
09:33Several opponents said they were afraid of the cheating,
09:36including the first party in opposition, but also the newcomer, Venancio Mandlán.
09:42The results should be announced in 15 days.
09:45The strong economic slowdown in the country is worrying,
09:49at least as much as the terrorist attacks in the north,
09:52which continue to counter the hopes of bad links to natural gas deposits.
10:04Direction Côte d'Ivoire.
10:06The Assembly for Economic Development has opened its doors to Abidjan.
10:11The objective of this initiative, set up by Global Citizen and its partners,
10:15accompanied by the Ivorian government,
10:17is to encourage G20 countries to strengthen their contribution to the idea
10:22with the aim of reaching a refund of 120 billion dollars by December 2024.
10:30Report by Yves-Paul Etudier and Ferdinand Kouakou.
10:34Political leaders, actors in the private sector and many other areas of activity
10:39are taking part in the Assembly for Economic Development opened in Abidjan.
10:43This high-level economic meeting wants to highlight a solid investment file
10:48aimed at encouraging G20 countries to strengthen their contribution to the idea
10:52with the aim of reaching a refund of 120 billion dollars by the end of 2024.
10:58For two days, experts will address major issues,
11:01including the creative economy as a driving force for growth,
11:04innovative strategies for debt restructuring
11:07and the impact of the idea on sustainable energy, infrastructures and employment.
11:12It is also about strengthening private investment on the continent
11:17in economic and social infrastructures
11:21in order to accelerate the achievement of sustainable development goals.
11:27This mobilization ambition is at the height of the challenges
11:32because the current mobilization campaign for the reconstruction of LIDA resources
11:37is taking place in a context marked by more and more complex and numerous challenges.
11:45Initiated by Global Citizen and Bridgewater Associates,
11:48in partnership with the Ivory Coast government,
11:51this event is part of a larger framework
11:53preparing the ground for the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro
11:56and the conference on the reconstruction of the resources of LIDA21 in Seoul,
12:00scheduled for December.

12:06I would like to reiterate the commitment of the Ivorian government
12:12in the success of this campaign.
12:15Because it is by raising the stakes of the mobilization of resources
12:20for the financing of development that we can, together,
12:24build a prosperous future for all the populations of the planet.
12:31By bringing together a diversity of voices and perspectives,
12:34this event aims to make the call for action
12:37to get millions of people out of poverty
12:40and improve their quality of life.

13:10has, since June,
13:13finalized the phase of individual reparations.
13:16On June 11, 2024, we finalized the individual reparations.
13:22More than 1,680 people, men and women,
13:27have benefited from monetary compensation
13:31for the moral and economic harm
13:34suffered by this group of people.
13:37The last phase, that of collective reparation,
13:40is currently, according to the actors,

13:52UNESCO was in charge of 7 main measures,
13:55including the reconstruction of the Moselle of Mohamed Al-Arawani.
14:00It was the only Moselle destroyed
14:04that had not been rebuilt after the crisis of 2012.
14:09This has been realized in the case of collective reparations.
14:14The work has been carried out at 100%.

14:19a week ago, with the Malian authorities,
14:22allowed to take action there
14:25in the sense of commemoration
14:27and the preservation of collective memory.
14:30The trip to Tombouctou was an important moment,
14:33a solemn and symbolic moment
14:35to express solidarity towards the victims.
14:38The representative of the families of the saints
14:41at this press conference,
14:43Shirfi Moulai Haidara,
14:45rejoices at the good implementation of the program
14:48and its inclusive character.
14:51And right now, let's move on to the guest of the major media newspaper.
14:55A morning of 17 million Mozambicans
14:59voted this Wednesday
15:01to elect a new president.
15:04Members of parliament and provincial governors
15:07in general elections intervene in a moral economic context
15:10while terrorist attacks continue in the north of the country
15:14for several years.
15:16To talk about it, we are live with José Magod,
15:19doctor in political science.
15:22Hello Mr. Magod and thank you for being with us.
15:26Hello, hello.
15:29During these elections,
15:31the candidate of the party in power,
15:33the Liberation Front of Mozambique,
15:35Daniel Chapeau,
15:37faced three other candidates
15:40to replace Philippe Niouzi.
15:43What are the first trends of these presidential elections?
15:49Thank you very much for this interview
15:52which I consider very important
15:55just to share some analysis
15:58on the process of elections in Mozambique
16:02which are the 7th general election
16:05and the 4th provincial election.
16:09They have gone very well so far
16:14without any factors of disturbance.
16:19Beyond the candidate of the Feuillime party
16:23which governs Mozambique
16:25which is the governing party since 1975
16:29in independence until now,
16:31we have three others,
16:35notably the representative of the RENAMO
16:40who participated in these elections for the first time
16:45as a disarmed party,
16:48as a civil party
16:51which gave the success of the disarmament
16:58which was put in place from 2018 until 2022.
17:06In addition, we have Mr. Venacio Mongane
17:12who is the representative of the MDM party
17:18which is the Democratic Movement of Mozambique.
17:22These actors have been confronted
17:26with a very diversified and segmented electorate
17:33using a distribution of political campaigns
17:39based on the ideologies of each party
17:44but at the same time,
17:47facing the exploitation of the representations
17:52and the imaginary of the voters
17:58which have diversified
18:00being given the chance to give in to the elections.
18:05Mr. José Magod,
18:09do you think that this scrutiny
18:12could mark a certain change in leadership?
18:16You just mentioned it,
18:18the outgoing president, Philippe Nuzi,
18:20was in power since independence
18:23obtained from Portugal in 1974.
18:27Changes would not have occurred
18:30in the sense of the replacement of the Feuillimo
18:33because according to the trends,
18:35the representative of the Feuillimo, Mr. Chapeau,
18:39has a very good tendency,
18:41he will win these elections.
18:44It is thanks to the fact that the voters
18:49perceive the fact of electing Mr. Chapeau
18:54and the Feuillimo party for the government
18:57as an opportunity to pursue it,
19:02to put in place public policies
19:05against the needs of citizens
19:07in a context of poverty, of distress.
19:11So what will happen
19:17is the improvement of the functioning
19:21of the electoral apparatus,
19:24the fight against corruption
19:27so that the electoral apparatus
19:30at the level of public services,
19:33health, justice and other public services,
19:38is more real and more effective
19:43in the lives of citizens.
19:45Another fact to consider
19:48is the implementation,
19:54I remember another actor here,
19:57who is Mr. Venacio Mondiani,
20:01who will probably be placed
20:04in second place.
20:08Mr. José Mago, 17 million voters
20:12were called to the polls
20:13to choose their new president.
20:16What are their main expectations?
20:21The main benefits
20:24have to do with the government project
20:30that was approved by the Feuillimo party
20:34in a national conference,
20:37whose main aims
20:40are the improvement of public services,
20:48the functioning of the electoral apparatus,
20:52the fight against corruption,
20:55the investment in public services
21:01so that the most disadvantaged people,
21:08the most disadvantaged citizens
21:10have access to education,
21:12health care, public transport,
21:16justice,
21:19and access to all the measures
21:26that will be taken
21:28to fight terrorism in the north of Mozambique
21:33so that this region can finally find peace,
21:39a situation of normality,
21:44so that citizens can live in peace,
21:49and get involved in the work of the government.
21:52Let's talk about the current economic situation in Mozambique.
21:58Whatever the winner of the presidential election,
22:02he will have to face a very difficult economic context.
22:08What do you think?
22:09It's true, it's true.
22:12What I can say is that after the crisis of COVID-19,
22:22the Mozambican economy is now
22:27growing very well,
22:31especially in terms of services,
22:37the provision of transport services to neighboring countries,
22:42as well as agriculture.
22:45We also have very high expectations
22:50when it comes to the mobilization of foreign investments.
22:55As you know, Mozambique has just discovered
23:00a very large oil and gas management.
23:05This attracts a lot of international power,
23:10such as China, France, the United States, Italy.
23:15So we're going to have,
23:19in the context of economic growth recovery,
23:25given this possibility of research and employment creation,
23:34the realization of this perspective
23:38will go against what young people want,
23:42namely to have the possibility of employment,
23:47to work and to lead a normal individual and collective life.
23:54José Magod, thank you for answering our questions.
23:59Thank you for this explanation.
24:01I remind you that you are a doctor in political science.
24:05In political science, yes.
24:08I studied at the University of Lyon.
24:13This is the end of this edition.
24:16Thank you for following it and staying with us.
