00:00Hello everyone, I am delighted to meet you for this tour of the Maghreb press and we
00:10start in Morocco with this new discovery of natural gas.
00:15Chariot Limited announces a significant discovery of natural gas in Morocco, title
00:21diplomatic Morocco.
00:22The British company, a major player in the sector of energy transition in Africa, revealed
00:29a discovery qualified as promising by Le Quotidien on a drilling site located in the Loukos.
00:36This announcement marks the success of their current drilling campaign, estimated diplomatic
00:41Morocco.
00:42And according to a statement from the company, the project in question has reached the objectives
00:47of planned reservoirs.
00:49Preliminary data indicate the presence of reservoirs on a gross thickness of 200 m
00:55and suggest the presence of a layer of water-free gas.
00:59The company plans additional analyses and a productivity test to determine the potential
01:06resources of the discovery, but its technical director showed rather enthusiastic, stating
01:12that, I quote, the success of the drilling of the OBA1 well on the prospectus of D'Artois
01:19confirms the potential of the area.
01:21In the same register, the 360 is interested in these 10 countries that have the most important
01:28reserves of phosphate in the world.
01:31The information portal cites the 2024 ranking established by World Population Review, an
01:38organization specialized in census and database.
01:41It stands out that Morocco, Caracol, largely in the lead, followed very far by the countries
01:49of North Africa.
01:51In a world where food sovereignty has become a strategic issue, having the phosphate necessary
01:58for the production of fertilizers offers a considerable advantage, according to the
02:03article.
02:04In fact, the reserves of phosphate are very unequally distributed in the world.
02:08Africa would concentrate on its own 83% of the world's proven reserves, and the first
02:14four countries are North African.
02:16The kingdom concentrates the bulk of its reserves, estimated at about 50 billion tons,
02:22the equivalent of 70% of the world's reserves.
02:25Very far behind is Egypt, with reserves estimated at a few 2.8 billion tons, ahead of Tunisia
02:34and then Algeria.
02:36And speaking of North Africa, Tariq bin Salim was appointed Secretary General of the
02:43Arab Maghreb Union, an announcement made yesterday by the Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
02:49reports Webdo.
02:51This effective appointment from June 1 for a period of three years, specifies the portal
02:58of information, was proposed by President Kays Saïd and approved by all the leaders
03:04of the member states of the Union, in accordance with the Statutes and Treaties of 1989, citing
03:10human rights.
03:11Tariq bin Salim, 64 years old, will succeed Tayeb Bakoush, who has held this post since
03:172016.
03:18As a reminder, founded in 1989 in Marrakech, the Arab Maghreb Union, which brings together
03:24Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Algeria and Mauritania, aims to strengthen cooperation and integration
03:31between its members.
03:33In Mauritania, the presidential elections, at one of the national press, Sahara Media
03:43tells us that the opposition candidates disapprove of the composition of the observatory for
03:49the elections.
03:50A few days after the publication by Primature of the list of members of this national body
03:56in charge of monitoring the next elections, five opposition candidates announced yesterday
04:02that they did not recognize this observatory.
04:04They denounce choices that they consider as personalities of the party in power.
04:09But during this time, the observatory in charge of the elections has already started its activities
04:15yesterday by a meeting with UN officials, according to the Mauritanian Information Agency.
04:22During this meeting, it was a question of cooperation in the field of the observatory
04:28of the elections and the full participation of all national and international observers.
04:35And finally, to finish, I propose this note published by Le Matin d'Algérie, entitled
04:43The Stratospheric Figures of the Bonn Government.
04:47The columnist comments with vehemence the announcements described as appalling by the
04:53Algerian president, who predicts a gross domestic product of 400 billion dollars in 2027.
05:00It is the inflation of the figures among the members of the government, says the journalist,
05:04who will contradict the head of state, Mzidat Boun, master of clocks and the effect of announcements,
05:11has argued that the GDP of the country will explode, which will make Algeria an emerging country.
05:17And it is not even difficult, adds the head of state without smiling,
05:21to analyze the article. On what basis does he want to get to this figure that gives the tourniquet?
05:26No matter, we have to give the Algerians a lot of attention, who, however, spend their time
05:31looking for the products of first necessity, concludes Le Matin d'Algérie.
05:38And this is how this Maghreb press conference ends.
05:42Thank you for following it and good luck with the programs on Median TV.
05:51Thank you for watching.
