00:00Welcome everyone, I am delighted to see you for a new edition of EDAMorning's Grand Journal.
00:22Here are the headlines.
00:24The FMI's Board of Directors approved a new two-year agreement in favour of Morocco
00:31under the Modulable Credit Line, amounting to about $4.5 billion.
00:40In Lebanon, Hamas and its two children were killed on Friday in an Israeli strike on Saida,
00:47followed by an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern border on April 1.
00:56And then, Trump's customs rights.
00:59Landeshow continues this Friday.
01:02To travel the world, starting with the Asian markets.
01:05More details in a moment.
01:08The FMI's Board of Directors approved a new two-year agreement in favour of Morocco
01:20under the Modulable Credit Line, amounting to about $4.5 billion.
01:29Morocco is eligible for the Modulable Credit Line
01:33thanks to its very strong institutional and fundamental economic framework,
01:37its historic implementation of very rigorous policies
01:41and its commitment to continue to maintain these policies in the future,
01:46indicated by the International Financial Institution in a statement.
01:50To add that in a very uncertain environment,
01:53this agreement will strengthen Morocco's foreign reserves
01:56and offer protection against the risk of a decline.
02:03And still in Morocco, the Council of Governments met this Thursday.
02:12A council marked by the examination and the adoption of a bill
02:17on school education, followed by a bill to pass a modifying law.
02:21The law, however, created by the National Water and Forest Agency.
02:25The council then approved two bills to pass.
02:29The first was on pensions for people with disabilities or old age paid by the National Water and Forest Agency.
02:35The second was on the application of certain provisions of the bill
02:40relating to the Social Security Regime.
02:48By adopting the bill on pensions for people with disabilities or old age paid by the National Water and Forest Agency,
02:55the government compensates thousands of employees
02:59who, for one reason or another, have not been able to reach the daily wage required to benefit from a pension.
03:06Here are the explanations of the government spokesman, Mustapha Baytas.
03:12On Thursday, April 3, the government made a commitment based on social dialogue.
03:19Indeed, the adoption of the bill on pensions for people with disabilities or old age paid by the National Water and Forest Agency
03:26marks a major step forward and implements the commitment made to social partners
03:31which was signed into law on April 30, 2022.
03:39Thanks to this decree, employees who have paid at least 1320 days to the National Water and Forest Agency
03:44will now be able to benefit from a pension.
03:48By adopting the bill on pensions for people with disabilities or old age paid by the National Water and Forest Agency,
03:55the government compensates thousands of employees
03:58who, for one reason or another, have not been able to reach the daily wage required to benefit from a pension.
04:05France reiterates its support for the sovereignty of Morocco on its Sahara,
04:09a position reaffirmed by the French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrault.
04:15A few months ago, we expressed our vision of the present and future of the Sahara,
04:20which is part of Moroccan sovereignty.
04:23As a direct consequence of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan,
04:26the head of French diplomacy,
04:28Jean-Noël Barrault, was appointed as the head of French diplomacy
04:31during a hearing organized in front of the Foreign Affairs Commission at the National Assembly.
04:35I invite you to listen to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrault.
04:43A few months ago, we expressed our vision of the present and future of the Sahara,
04:48which is part of Moroccan sovereignty.
04:51As a direct consequence of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan,
04:55what we have said is that there are no realistic and credible solutions today,
05:00but this must now find a sustainable political solution that is mutually acceptable to the United Nations.
05:07We support UN efforts in view of this dialogue,
05:12and I will have the opportunity to talk about it in a few days with my Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, in Paris.
05:19And know that in Laayoune, the President of the Parliament
05:22saluted yesterday the dynamic of socio-economic development
05:26that Morocco is experiencing, in particular in the southern provinces of the Kingdom.
05:31Morocco represents a miracle in terms of development on the continental level.
05:35And this is an example for the African countries,
05:38stated in the press by Gustavo Villar.
05:41The President of the Parliament, accompanied by an important parliamentary delegation
05:45on a work visit to Morocco, indicated, having examined with the Moroccan officials,
05:50the means to consolidate cooperation between the two parties in various areas,
05:54including social, economic, diplomatic and cultural.
06:02In the Middle East, the death of 15 humanitarian aid workers in Gaza
06:06after shots fired at their ambulances raises new questions
06:10about the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights yesterday.
06:19I am horrified by the murders of 15 humanitarian aid workers
06:23which raises new concerns about the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
06:28has declared Volker Türk in front of the UN Security Council.
06:36The UN Humanitarian Commissioner said on Tuesday
06:40that the first team had been killed by the Israeli forces
06:43and on March 23 that other emergency teams had been shot one after the other
06:49for several hours while they were looking for their colleagues.
06:59A member of the Palestinian Hamas movement,
07:02his son and his daughter, were killed in an Israeli strike on Friday at dawn
07:07in Saida, the big city in southern Lebanon.
07:11The strike aimed at the apartment where the man and his two children were.
07:17A local source specified that the strike required anonymity.
07:21The strike provoked terror in the big city in southern Lebanon.
07:28Three people were killed in a hostile drone strike
07:33aimed at a residential area of the city
07:36despite the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel.
07:41On February 17, a member of the Hamas military unit
07:44was killed in an Israeli strike against a car in Saida
07:47which houses the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.
07:51The raid on Saida followed by an Israeli strike
07:54on the Beirut suburb on April 1.
08:03The year of shock caused by the announcement by Donald Trump
08:08of massive customs rights for US trade partners
08:13continues this Friday to travel the planet,
08:16starting with the Asian markets,
08:19which are still buzzing.
08:21The day after the Wall Street debacle,
08:24the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which killed its losses,
08:27and the 24% of US trade rights imposed in Japan
08:30constituted a national crisis for the archipelago,
08:33said the Japanese Prime Minister in front of the Parliament.
08:37The United States absorbed 20% of Japanese exports last year.
08:41In Seoul, the KOSPI index was 1.58% at 5.30 am.
08:47Chinese markets were closed due to a holiday.
08:50Customs rights are particularly punitive for China,
08:55which will see a total tax on increased products of 54%,
09:00Cambodia of 49%, Vietnam of 46%, and Bangladesh of 37%.
09:09Russia and the US alliance
09:12congratulate each other on the strengthening of their cooperation in Moscow
09:15during a meeting of representatives of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
09:19The head of Russian diplomacy assured
09:21that Moscow was ready to do everything possible
09:24to help the alliance of the states of the Sahel.
09:30Composed of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger,
09:33the alliance of the states of the Sahel turns to Russia.
09:36The head of Russian diplomacy, Sergei Lavrov,
09:39will say that Russia is ready to do everything possible
09:42to help the alliance of the states of the Sahel to implement its priorities,
09:46in particular those related to security and defense.
09:55Russia will continue to supply military equipment.
09:58This is a necessary measure to create armed forces
10:01within the framework of the trilateral format.
10:03Russian military experts can contribute to the development of a program
10:07aimed at equipping its armed forces with specific military equipment.
10:17According to Lavrov, military cooperation is taking place actively
10:21and is intensifying, in particular with Mali.
10:24In August 2024, the country had broken its relations with Ukraine
10:27due to the involvement, according to Bamako, of Kiev,
10:30in heavy defeats of the Malian army and the paramilitary group Wagner
10:35during combat with separatists and extremists in the north of the country.
10:40We have a common understanding of the fight against terrorism,
10:44the insecurity in our space,
10:47terrorism that is supported by foreign state sponsors,
10:53including regional actors, actors in our space,
10:57who continue to serve as a background and support terrorism,
11:02which must be fought.
11:04Diop announced that the president of Mali, Assimi Goita,
11:07was going to Moscow in June for an official visit.
11:11The head of the Nigerian Diplomacy, Bakary Aousangar,
11:14welcomed a historic event that marks a turning point,
11:18ensuring that Russia will be on their side to fight against terrorism,
11:21which means a lot for the three Sahelian countries.
11:26The financing of the National Agenda for Transformation of Vision Senegal 2050
11:30was the subject of a round table organized by the associations of Senegalese civil society.
11:35A meeting held on the prelude to the 4th United Nations Conference
11:39on Development Finance, planned in Seville, Spain,
11:42was attended by Senegalese signatories.
11:46This round table looks at the financing of the National Agenda for Transformation of Vision Senegal 2050,
11:54an opportunity for the development of effective financing strategies
11:59based on an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses,
12:02opportunities and threats for Senegal.
12:05In this perspective, between 2025 and 2029,
12:08Senegal is expected to receive a financing of up to 4.3 billion francs CFA on the PPP project.
12:18So it's quite substantial and it will intervene on essential infrastructures.
12:23And the advantage with the PPP is that we will perhaps solve a problem that is chronic in our country,
12:28our ability to maintain the infrastructures that we develop.
12:31So with the involvement of the private sector,
12:33not only are we going to act on our debt to make it more sustainable,
12:38but we are also giving ourselves guarantees for the continuity of the infrastructures that are developed in this sense.
12:43As a matter of fact, strategic orientations have been proposed
12:47to answer the question of development financing.
12:50The United Nations has said that the goal of development is a right.
12:53Nobody wants to live in poverty.
12:55So this development is a right recognized by the International Committee.
12:59But the problem now is how to finance this development.
13:02Yes, we can finance the development of a time, of a period, of a moment.
13:09And this continues with the assistance of other financiers who take the initiative.
13:16Development is not something fixed here and now.
13:20It is a continuous process.
13:23So we can finance development programs that allow a country, a community, a time,
13:31to be at ease and to feel fulfilled.
13:35The collaboration and commitment of all stakeholders are essential
13:40to guarantee the attainment of results and their durability.
13:44The new government, which has just arrived after the 2024 alternation,
13:49has installed what we call in Senegal the Transformation 2050.
13:55So that means that from 2025 to 2050, Senegal wants and wishes,
14:01the Senegalese government, that its development takes place
14:04on the basis of a social and economic transformation.
14:07And so this raises questions of financing.
14:10The 4th International Conference on the Financing of the Development of the United Nations
14:15is scheduled for June next year in Spain.
14:18The recommendations from this round table will be presented there.
14:27As part of the Mali Culture 2025 project,
14:30several actions are planned, including a conference on themes
14:35related to culture, citizenship and traditions.
14:38This is a report by Mohamed Danioukou from Bamako.
14:41At the University of Yambou Ologuem, in an amphitheatre full of students,
14:46the filmmaker and woman of culture Fatoumata Koulibaly,
14:49a marine of Sumo, has given assistance on the role of citizenship
14:54in the preservation of cultural values, especially for young people.
14:58We had to speak in front of young people,
15:01so that they know that they can become good citizens one day,
15:05starting now, by learning this.
15:08It's not to criticize our teachers,
15:11but I think we don't talk about it much in our institutions.
15:15We have to talk about it in our national languages,
15:18in all our national languages, to the young people,
15:21so that they know who they are, where they come from,
15:24not to dominate their ethnicity, not to dominate their country.
15:27This series of monthly conferences is part of a larger program
15:32of the Department of Culture,
15:34which aims to materialize the will of the President of the Transition,
15:38who has decreed 2025 as the Year of Culture.
15:41It's about making sure that no one is left out.
15:45Together, we will see how to make this project
15:52a real project of social construction,
15:57and of social and economic transformation.
16:00The expectations are enormous.
16:02These are skilled students,
16:04who are now aware of their role in Malikoura,
16:07who have come out of the classroom.
16:09With our cultural values, without distinction,
16:12and the theme of cultural renaissance,
16:15for us, the students,
16:17the cultural education that we have at home,
16:21before coming to school, to university,
16:25and our five androgynous values in Mali.
16:28Repositioning Mali as a global cultural reference,
16:31revitalizing its cultural heritage,
16:34are among other objectives of the Mali 2025 Culture Project.
16:41The Moroccan team played a 0-0 match
16:45against the Zambian team on Thursday at the Elbashir Mohamedia Stadium
16:48on the second day of Group A of the African Nations Cup.
16:51At the age of 17, the Moroccan team tried to take things into their own hands,
16:57by pressing high to prevent the Zambians from developing their game
17:02and suffering light counterattacks.
17:04The second half started at a higher pace,
17:06with a Moroccan team more offensively engaged,
17:09but also stronger, more dangerous for the Zambians.
17:21The best of the guests of Média TV is for right now.
17:28What is the future of Mali?
17:33There are two types of engines.
17:35There are structural engines.
17:38We are talking, of course, about a sector with a vocation,
17:42in terms of development, a vocation that is cyclical.
17:45Real estate, like real estate, are cycles.
17:48I think it has taken a descent.
17:50Indeed, for a few years, it is time for this sector to rebound.
17:54Indeed, as an economic sector that knows this cyclical character,
17:59I think it is time for a new development.
18:03It is the beginning of a period of development
18:07for a sector that is characterized,
18:10that has this structural characteristic.
18:14On the other hand, you said it so well,
18:16it is Morocco today that is investing in several sectors,
18:22in several structuring projects.
18:25The catalyst, in fact, is the will of the state,
18:28Morocco is moving forward in this infrastructure project.
18:31These are state-run projects,
18:33it is a state policy.
18:35And behind it, there are really these projects
18:38with a specific character that we are talking about,
18:40the organization of the World Cup.
18:44This World Summit,
18:46this is the first time it is organized in Africa,
18:50and it is, for me, the symbol of the will of the continent
18:55to position itself on this market that is still embryonic
19:03and where there are places to take.
19:07The issues are, of course,
19:10governance, regulation, ethics, etc.
19:13But above all, what is important
19:15is what are the concrete applications
19:18that the continent can draw from,
19:20especially in the important sectors in Africa
19:23which are priorities for the economic and social development
19:29of the continent,
19:30so health, agriculture, finance, but not only.
19:33The other important issue is the training of talents.
19:37And this is where Wabless sees the rarity
19:42and the difficulty of training talents.
19:49Globally, Morocco has secular relations
19:53with this Latin American space.
19:57It should be noted that since the 19th century,
20:00there have been Latin American, Arab and Tangi consulates.
20:07And, of course, since 1981,
20:12we are still members of the American States Forum
20:17and I have forgotten about it.
20:19As for the relations between the Moroccan Parliament
20:24and the Andean Parliament,
20:26as you said,
20:28it is already 50 years old,
20:32but it must be said that we have taken giant steps
20:36in terms of the concretization of this institutional relationship.
20:44Africa has taken a certain delay
20:46compared to the rest of the world
20:47in terms of artificial intelligence,
20:49application development,
20:50taking control of all the tools and technologies
20:53that go with AI.
20:54But it is possible to catch up with the delay.
20:56In my opinion,
20:58we must already be able to train the talents.
21:01And here it is about an economy of intelligence
21:04and an economy of the rare knowledge.
21:05So we don't necessarily need very large means
21:08to give this youth the technical skills
21:12and technological skills
21:14to be able to develop solutions for the African continent,
21:19but solutions with technologies
21:21that are almost the same as those used in the rest of the world.
21:32This concludes this edition.
21:35Thank you for following it.
21:37Enjoy the rest of the program on Mediantv.
