00:00Good evening, I am delighted to welcome you to this new Carrefour d'Information and
00:20right away the headlines.
00:21Relations between Mauritania and Morocco are going through their best period in recent
00:29years.
00:30The statement of the Mauritanian Minister of Foreign Affairs on a visit to work in Morocco.
00:35Details in this newspaper.
00:36In the Gaza Strip, Benyamin Netanyahu threatens to seize new sectors and to proceed with
00:45operations with maximum force on new areas of Gaza if hostages are not released.
00:51The capital Khartoum is released.
00:57This is confirmed tonight by the head of the Sudanese army, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan,
01:02after the resumption of the airport of the capital and a strategic district.
01:06Good evening to all, before developing these headlines, we start this newspaper with this
01:17statement from the Ministry of the Royal House, the Protocol and the Chancellery.
01:22His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, will preside over a religious vigil in commemoration of
01:28Laylat al-Qadr tomorrow evening at the Royal Palace of Rabat.
01:31Given certain constraints and difficulties related to certain movements and positions
01:38consecutive to the surgical operation he had undergone at the left shoulder, the sovereign
01:44will perform the prayer of Isha and Taraweeh in a seated position.
01:49The religious vigil will be broadcast live on the radio and television at the time of the
01:54call to prayer of Isha.
01:59Relations between Mauritania and Morocco are going through their best period in recent years.
02:06These are the words of the Mauritanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Salamoul Demirzouk,
02:12who spoke today in Rabat at a press conference after his interviews with Nasser Boretta,
02:18the head of Mauritanian diplomacy, said that bilateral cooperation is now at a high level,
02:25adding that his visit to Morocco is part of the permanent consultation and coordination
02:32between the two countries on all issues of common interest.
02:37He also praised the daily and permanent support brought by Morocco to Mauritania during its
02:43mandate at the head of the African Union.
02:47And I propose to listen to the statement of the Mauritanian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
02:53who spoke at the end of his meeting in Rabat with the head of Moroccan diplomacy.
03:04This visit is of great importance for our country because it follows the notable meeting
03:11between His Excellency President Welchel Razouani and His Majesty King Mohamed VI,
03:17which resulted in cooperation between the two countries.
03:22This cooperation has now reached a high level and is based on a permanent consultation,
03:28and this visit is a testimony to this consultation.
03:33During this visit, I had the honour of being able to address a number of points,
03:39in particular with regard to bilateral cooperation.
03:43We had the opportunity to explore the future prospects of this cooperation,
03:49and we are committed to deploying our efforts to ensure its success.
03:54We have also addressed a number of issues,
03:58a deep consultation has been carried out in order to determine the path to follow for the two nations.
04:18The head of Spanish diplomacy also congratulates himself on relations with the Kingdom.
04:24Morocco and Spain have established, over the last three years,
04:28the best climate of cooperation ever achieved in the history of bilateral relations,
04:33said José Manuel Alvarez yesterday in front of the Senate.
04:37A supporting figure is trade with Morocco,
04:41which has reached a historic level of 25 billion euros,
04:45thus confirming the solidity and complementarity of economic and commercial relations between the two kingdoms.
04:53And still for the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:56the issue of irregular migration would be unmanageable without the support and commitment of Morocco.
05:05Relations, as recalled by the head of Spanish diplomacy,
05:09consolidated by the joint declaration of 2022,
05:13described by Alvarez as a turning point in Moroccan-Spanish relations.
05:18So, what are the key elements that have allowed this significant improvement
05:23of this cooperation between Rabat and Madrid?
05:26And the world of answers with Huda Benrazi,
05:28she is the Vice President of the Spanish-Moroccan Court of Arbitration.
05:32I will not hide from you that the last political crisis between Spain and Morocco
05:36was like a turning point in our relationship.
05:40It allowed us to assess and see what was working between us and what was not.
05:46It allowed us to understand the importance of each other.
05:49With this turning point, we were able to build stronger relations,
05:57both diplomatically and economically.
06:00And the Spanish companies were much more comfortable,
06:04we noticed this in their relations with us,
06:07by approaching Morocco and also the same thing for Moroccan companies.
06:15This beautiful dynamic of relations between Spain and Morocco
06:20will have a beautiful trend in the future as well.
06:25Economically speaking, a figure that shows the solidity of relations
06:30between Rabat and Madrid, 25 billion euros,
06:33is the volume of trade between the two neighbors at a historical level.
06:38So, how to explain this economic complementarity
06:41and what opportunities to seize?
06:44Houda Benrazi, Vice President of the Spanish-Moroccan Court of Arbitration,
06:47gives us the point.
06:49It must be said that today 25 million is an extraordinary figure,
06:54but the trend of evolution in relations between Spain and Morocco
06:58has been there for a decade.
07:01Spain has been our first commercial partner for 10 years already.
07:06And our forecast is to multiply these exchanges by 2 or 3.
07:15The exchanges between Spain and Morocco are stable,
07:18with a constant evolution.
07:20The exchanges between Morocco and Spain, as Alvarez said yesterday,
07:26are marked by complementarity.
07:29We, Spain and Morocco, managed to build a value chain
07:34that is one of the most competitive in the region.
07:41We build cars together, we build planes together.
07:47The added value in our exchanges is very present.
07:50And the diplomatic rapprochement between our two countries and politics
07:55has helped and facilitated this work.
07:58Let's not forget that after Covid-19, being close to Europe
08:03was a very important element to improve relations and boost them.
08:11It must also be said that the international norms have changed
08:14and have allowed the fact that we are close,
08:21the carbon footprint to decrease by making exchanges with Morocco.
08:26Let's not forget the evolution of our country,
08:30the infrastructures, the ports, the airports.
08:34All this has helped a lot.
08:37Burkina Faso, Gabon, Niger and Mali
08:41salute the crucial role played by Morocco
08:44as President of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union
08:48in the realization of informal consultations with these countries,
08:53as well as with Guinea and Sudan.
08:56In letters addressed to the Moroccan heads of diplomacy,
08:58Burkina Faso, Gabon and Niger salute the steps taken by the Kingdom.
09:04Details with Dina Melini.
09:08Several African countries have expressed their support for the Moroccan initiative
09:12aimed at reintegrating the states suspended by the African Union
09:16following the changes in their governments.
09:19In a letter addressed to the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nassar Borreta,
09:24the head of Burkina Faso diplomacy
09:26has made a clear recognition of the crucial role
09:29played by the Moroccan Presidency of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union.
09:35Gabon and Niger also join this recognition
09:39by saluting this new leadership at the head of the CPS
09:42and especially the touch of the Kingdom,
09:44based on the promotion of a constructive and enlightened dialogue
09:48through mutual realism and listening.
09:51Thus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Niger
09:54addressed a letter to his Moroccan counterpart,
09:56where he salutes the noble initiative of Morocco
09:59concerning the informal consultation organized on March 18, 2025
10:04with the countries of the Confederation of States of the Sahel
10:07and those in political transition in Africa.
10:10A similar interest is felt in Libreville.
10:14In a letter addressed to Nassar Borreta,
10:16the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gabon
10:19saluted the meeting of March 18
10:22within the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union.
10:26He stressed that this initiative demonstrates
10:29the finesse and dynamism of Moroccan diplomacy,
10:32while confirming Morocco's place
10:35on the African political chessboard and even beyond.
10:39Six countries are concerned by the Moroccan initiative,
10:42namely Burkina Faso,
10:44Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Sudan.
10:48These states did not participate in the vote
10:50for the new members of the African Union Commission
10:53at the 38th Summit,
10:55which took place in Addis Ababa in mid-February.
10:58In this sense, Morocco is thus an essential player
11:02in strengthening cooperation
11:05and consolidating stability in Africa.
11:09Hamas outside.
11:11A slogan against the Palestinian movement
11:14was raised today at a gathering
11:17of hundreds of people in Gaza City.
11:20Yesterday, Beitaria was the biggest theater
11:23anti-Hamas meeting since the beginning of the war,
11:26on October 7.
11:28After this gathering,
11:30calls to demonstrate of unknown origin
11:32in nine points of the Gaza Strip
11:34circulated on social networks
11:36while the Israeli army
11:38resumed its bombardments
11:40on Palestinian territory.
11:50The resumption of Israeli military operations
11:53in the Gaza Strip
11:55caused the displacement of 140,000 Palestinians
11:58in one week,
12:00a figure revealed by the UN Secretary-General,
12:03who is also worried
12:05about a shortage of humanitarian aid.
12:0890% of the population
12:10of the small Palestinian territory
12:12has already been displaced
12:14at least once since the beginning of the war.
12:17And after a brief truce
12:19that did not last,
12:21the existing spaces for the survival
12:23of Palestinian families
12:25are reduced once again.
12:29And then this new threat from Israel
12:32that bombards the Gaza Strip,
12:34Benyamin Netanyahu
12:36threatens to seize Gaza
12:38if the hostages are not released.
12:41This includes, according to the Israeli Prime Minister,
12:44the seizure of territory,
12:46operations with maximum force
12:48on new areas of Gaza
12:50and other measures that he says
12:52he does not want to detail.
12:54Hamas warns that the lives of the hostages
12:56are in danger
12:58with the resumption of Israeli strikes
13:00that have already killed at least
13:02830 people.
13:04However, the number of Gazans killed
13:06since the beginning of the Israeli offensive
13:08is 50,000.
13:12And in Israel, Benyamin Netanyahu
13:14is also facing a wave of protests,
13:17demonstrations that multiply
13:20against the government
13:22to protest against the removal
13:24of the head of internal security
13:26and the resumption of hostilities in Gaza.
13:28The Israeli Prime Minister accuses
13:30the opposition of feeding
13:32anarchy by supporting these demonstrations.
13:34For several days,
13:36thousands of Israelis have been participating
13:38in anti-government demonstrations,
13:40accusing Netanyahu
13:42of sabotaging democracy
13:44and of having resumed strikes
13:46in Gaza after two months of
13:48strikes without concern for the hostages.
13:50In the rest of the news,
13:52Volodymyr Zelensky arrived
13:54this Wednesday in Paris
13:56where he will meet
13:58his French counterpart
14:00Emmanuel Macron
14:02on the eve of a summit
14:04on European support
14:06for Ukraine
14:08scheduled for tomorrow
14:10in the French capital.
14:12Kiev asks European soldiers
14:14on its territory
14:16ready to fight even after the war
14:18and not as a force for peace.
14:20This is what a Ukrainian negotiator
14:22said this Wednesday
14:24participating in the talks
14:26for a ceasefire with Russia.
14:28More than 20 countries of the EU
14:30and NATO are waiting
14:32for the summit in Paris
14:34of the so-called Coalition of Volunteers
14:36ready to provide guarantees
14:38of security to Ukraine.
14:40At present,
14:42in the continent,
14:44the Sudanese capital Khartoum
14:46is liberated.
14:48This is what the head
14:50of the Sudanese army,
14:52General Abdel Fattah el-Burhan,
14:54said tonight.
14:56The Sudanese army has taken
14:58the airport of Khartoum
15:00to the paramilitary forces
15:02of the Rapid Support Forces.
15:04These troops have also encircled
15:06the strategic zone of Jabal Awliya,
15:08the last major bastion of the FSR
15:10in the region.
15:12Khartoum is liberated.
15:14This is what Abdel Fattah el-Burhan
15:16said last night to the FSR,
15:18the leader of Sudan,
15:20in a speech broadcast
15:22by public television.
15:26In almost two years,
15:28the war in Sudan
15:30between the army and the FSR
15:32killed tens of thousands of people,
15:34uprooted more than 12 million people
15:36and created one of the worst
15:38humanitarian crises in the world.
15:40I propose this story
15:42by Rashid Farhan.
15:44The humanitarian situation
15:46in Sudan is getting worse
15:48with the recent clashes
15:50in the capital, Khartoum.
15:52The conflict between the Sudanese
15:54armed forces and the Rapid Support Forces
15:56has exacerbated
15:58a humanitarian crisis
16:00that is already critical.
16:02The United Nations warns
16:04of this humanitarian crisis
16:06of a magnitude that is currently taking place in Sudan.
16:08The civilians
16:10are the ones that have
16:12no responsibility
16:14in this conflict
16:16and yet they are the ones
16:18paying the highest price.
16:22Nearly two-thirds of the population
16:24need emergency help.
16:26Famine cases are reported
16:28in several regions of the country.
16:30Hundreds of thousands of people
16:32live in overcrowded camps,
16:34often deprived of food,
16:36water and medical care.
16:40The situation in hospitals
16:42is very difficult.
16:44Many people lose loved ones
16:46due to lack of medication
16:48and necessary care.
16:52Despite the humanitarian efforts,
16:54the situation in Sudan
16:56continues to deteriorate
16:58with thousands of civilians
17:00trapped in this conflict.
17:02The UN calls for urgent action
17:04to avoid an even deeper
17:06humanitarian crisis.
17:10The French Language Day
17:12has been celebrated
17:14today at the headquarters
17:16of the Economic Commission for Africa
17:18of the United Nations in Addis Ababa
17:20with the participation of Morocco,
17:22organized in collaboration
17:24with the OIF and UNESCO.
17:26This celebration
17:28was notably marked by the projection
17:30of a video on the complexity
17:32of French vocabulary
17:34as well as a dance
17:36and singing show.
17:38Let's listen to the ambassador
17:40of Morocco in Ethiopia,
17:42Haji Boutin,
17:44and just after,
17:46you have the reaction
17:48of Rita Bisonout,
17:50director of the UNESCO liaison office.
17:52For my country
17:54and since its adhesion
17:56to the OIF in 1981,
17:58the Kingdom of Morocco
18:00has been active in promoting
18:02the ideals of Francophonie.
18:04Through its active participation
18:06in the organization's work,
18:08Morocco has consistently
18:10demonstrated its commitment
18:12to cultural diversity,
18:14multilingualism,
18:16and international cooperation
18:18as was the case
18:20at the 19th Francophonie Summit
18:22on the theme
18:24of creating, innovating,
18:26and undertaking in French.
18:28The UN is an essential issue
18:30for a more balanced
18:32and representative
18:34international system.
18:36We must continue to plead
18:38for a more affirmed place
18:40of French in regional,
18:42African, and international institutions
18:44by encouraging its use
18:46in diplomatic work
18:48and by strengthening the linguistic
18:50capacities of international officials.
18:52The representative of Ethiopia
18:54is really delighted
18:56to co-organize
18:58this meeting today
19:00with Francophonie,
19:02with the CEA,
19:04but above all we are delighted
19:06to be here with the president
19:08of the group of French-speaking ambassadors
19:10who is His Excellency
19:12Madame Alaoui,
19:14here, NEDZAC,
19:16with whom we work a lot.
19:18We work with UNESCO,
19:20we have already organized several meetings
19:22with Morocco on culture,
19:24on heritage,
19:26on heritage,
19:28and I think that today
19:30it is very important to value,
19:32to celebrate the French language,
19:34which is a language that is spoken
19:36by millions, and for us
19:38the language also conveys
19:40not just the language,
19:42but the culture of who we are
19:44by being Francophiles,
19:46of what we love,
19:48and it allows us
19:50to enrich ourselves.
19:52Returning to Morocco,
19:54the methadone drug
19:56is now available
19:58on the national market.
20:00After a period of shortage of stock,
20:02specialized centers in addictology
20:04are now supplied
20:06with methadone,
20:08this fundamental drug,
20:10in the process of treating people
20:12with an addiction.
20:14The Ministry of Health
20:16claims to have secured enough stock
20:18to guarantee continuity
20:20of treatment.
20:22One of our teams
20:24went to a specialized center
20:26in addiction treatment in Tangier.
20:28I invite you to follow this report
20:30with Dina Melini.
20:32After a crisis
20:34linked to a shortage of methadone,
20:36an essential drug in the
20:38treatment of opiates addicts,
20:40the Ministry of Health
20:42ensures the normal resumption
20:44of the distribution of this drug
20:46in addictology centers
20:48Many beneficiaries
20:50have suffered from a prolonged absence
20:52of this vital treatment,
20:54which has led to agitation,
20:56risky behavior,
20:58and a wave of protests.
21:06Thirteen years ago,
21:08I fell into toxicomania,
21:10a test that deeply affected my parents.
21:12However, the day I joined this center
21:14and started my treatment with methadone,
21:16I turned the page on my past.
21:18Since then, I have become responsible
21:20and fully invested in my work.
21:30After my move to Tangier,
21:32I joined this center
21:34where I was welcomed, supported
21:36and taken care of throughout my trial.
21:38The specialists provided me
21:40with adequate treatments.
21:46First of all, I would like to explain
21:48to the general public
21:50what methadone is,
21:52what methadone treatment is.
21:54Let me first clarify to the public
21:56about methadone and its role
21:58in the treatment of addictions.
22:00The use of toxicomania is complex
22:02and varies from individual to individual.
22:04Among the forms of addiction,
22:06it is opiates, known as heroin,
22:08which constitutes a major problem.
22:10When conventional treatments
22:12turn out to be ineffective,
22:14we present a therapeutic alternative.
22:16It is a substitution treatment
22:18that helps addicts
22:20to progressively get rid
22:22of heroin.
22:30Faced with the recent
22:32brutal reduction of doses,
22:34addictologists fear a relapse
22:36of patients who could have been discouraged
22:38to continue their treatment.
22:44We have thoroughly examined
22:46all of these situations.
22:48The risk of death
22:50remains mainly
22:52linked to an overdose.
22:54At the same time,
22:56the scientific committee
22:58has carried out its work
23:00in accordance with the alternative
23:02treatment protocol.
23:04The centers have been provided
23:06with essential drugs
23:08to mitigate the symptoms of withdrawal
23:10and we have evaluated each patient
23:12in order to prescribe
23:14the appropriate treatment to them.
23:20Morocco has taken a big step forward
23:22with methadone,
23:24but it is necessary to go even further,
23:26according to specialists.
23:28Addiction requires long-term follow-up.
23:30Ensuring a stable and coordinated access
23:32to this treatment is crucial
23:34in order to guarantee a successful
23:36and long-lasting reinsertion of patients.
23:38This brings us
23:40to the end of this edition.
23:42Thank you for watching
23:44Informaçons. We will continue
23:46on Média TV.
