00:00Good evening and welcome to Mediantv. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast. Here
00:21are the headlines.
00:22The draft law on the strike continues to flow slowly. The Minister of Employment and Skills
00:28is currently in talks with the Central Bank, the trade union and the CGER.
00:33NGOs are calling on the international community to put pressure on Algeria to guarantee the
00:38fundamental rights of the populations held in the Tindouf camps. This call was launched
00:43during the general debate on the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' annual report.
00:49In the south-east of Morocco, the research teams continue their operations in favour of
00:53displaced people. The body of a second missing person has been found near the Douar des
00:58Khmer.
00:59Discussions on the draft law on the strike are being resumed. The Minister of Employment
01:07and Skills is currently in talks with the Central Bank, the trade union and the CGER.
01:12Each party has been received separately to discuss the points of the draft law that
01:16has remained suspended. This is in fact a request from the Parliament that wishes
01:20the negotiations to take place within the institution of social dialogue. These discussions
01:24focus mainly on certain key articles, including those relating to minimum services and the
01:29list of sectors where the strike is forbidden. Exchanges have also been carried out on the
01:33modalities of minimum services and sanctions.
01:36In Geneva, NGOs have called on the international community to put pressure on Algeria to guarantee
01:44the fundamental rights of the populations held in the Tindouf camps. This call was launched
01:49during the General Debate on the UN High Commissioner's Annual Report on Human Rights
01:53on the Situation of Human Rights in the World, the 57th regular session of the Council,
01:58scheduled until 11 October and held under the presidency of Omar Zneiber, President of the
02:04Human Rights Council for 2024.
02:10And for Zakaria Boudaab, Professor of International Relations, there is a need within the United
02:15Nations to activate the protection mechanisms of the Tindouf-held populations. Here is an
02:20excerpt from his analysis.
02:22Well, since the presidency in January 2024 until today, or even beyond, because Morocco
02:29was one of the first countries to be elected to this Council when it was instituted in 2006,
02:35gradually. So there were, let's say, some priorities, themes, for example the issue of
02:41climate change and its consequences on the protection of human rights. There are other
02:46aspects, such as the military encirclement of children, among others. There are also
02:51incessant questions. But today, you know, on the occasion of the 57th regular session
02:57of the UN High Commissioner's Annual Report on Human Rights in Geneva, the fundamental,
03:03crucial theme is forced disappearances.
03:08As a result, it is a question that concerns the entire international community. So we know
03:12very well, from the point of view of the philosophy and ontology of human rights, there is what
03:17we call the hard core or intangible of these rights. This includes the international pact
03:22on civil and political rights, the international pact on socio-cultural economic rights, there
03:28is the question of torture, the protection of the rights of migrant workers, etc. But there
03:33is also the question of forced disappearances. And so the Tindouf camps have been
03:40interpellated. I listened to a lot of petitions, including Moroccan names, which ultimately
03:46draw the attention of the international community of the need to activate protection mechanisms
03:52because the situation is extremely dramatic and very worrying.
03:57In Tata, after serious efforts by the research teams, one of the victims of the
04:02disappearance, Iqmir, was able to be found. The rescue teams carefully searched the
04:07flanks of the valleys and oases before finding the missing person. This is a report by
04:12Amoula Boukheles, Fayssa Labrouche, and the story is by Sohail Jalil.
04:17The research ended up paying off. Here, in the Douar d'Iqmir, in the Tata region, one
04:23of the two victims who were missing was able to be recovered. Following the strong stormy
04:28winds that fell on Tata, Iqmir became an open research area for the Royal Army, Royal
04:33Gendarmerie, Civil Defense and Auxiliary Forces teams.
04:46It's amazing. It's been days since we've been looking for my nephew. And finally, the
04:51crew took him to a house right next to us. We just saw his body. May God have mercy on
04:56him.
05:04All services involved were mobilized, while the necessary human and logistical resources
05:09were deployed. Efforts did not stop. Combine the search for missing people and restoration
05:15of roadways over kilometers.
05:18We thank all the local authorities and all the foreign banks.
05:23All the local authorities, along with the authorities, have and continue to make a colossal effort
05:29to search for the missing and limit the damage. They are doing everything to restore electricity
05:34and water. We have seen that they have worked tirelessly to restore electricity and the
05:38telephone network.
05:41For the time being, efforts are underway to unblock the damaged areas. All the necessary
05:46human and logistical resources are deployed to intervene in the face of this exceptional
05:51situation, to provide aid and assistance to the population, to unblock the affected areas
05:57and to restore the network of connections.
06:02More than 431,000 widows and 158,000 children living in urban and rural areas have benefited
06:08from direct social assistance, said the government's spokesman on Thursday. The implementation
06:13of this royal program has allowed these women to benefit from direct social assistance,
06:18which is a minimum of 500 dirhams, stated Mustafa Baytas at a press conference at the
06:23end of a government council.
06:27In Morocco, the census process of the population and housing continues in the different cities
06:32of the country. This process will also censor immigrants, refugees and foreigners, regardless
06:37of their nationality. Hachem Fikri tells us more.
06:44Just like Moroccan citizens, immigrants and refugees from various countries are subject
06:49to the census process. A large percentage is from the African continent. The integration
06:55of this category of citizens through the census process will help to draw a clear and
07:01precise picture of the situation of immigrants in Morocco.
07:04I am of Gabonese origin, I am a student here. First, I came to speak for this operation.
07:11Morocco has decided to take information from the people who live here in Morocco, i.e.
07:19the sex, the age and what we want to do. So I invite several people to take part in this
07:25operation.
07:26This census operation is very, very important because it allows us to assess the entire
07:31population of the Moroccan population and all the foreigners who live in Morocco. It
07:35also allows some to have a better social situation and, roughly speaking, a better
07:40insertion into the Moroccan active life.
07:43To facilitate the census process of immigrants and refugees, the High Commission of Plans
07:49has formed individuals from these groups to assist them in the collection of information.
07:54The objective is to give an important place to this category in the general report of
08:00the census.
08:01My role is to be a relay, for example, in the intervention that will take place in different
08:08municipalities. For example, in the face of sub-Saharan communities, my role is to facilitate
08:13the exchanges so that it is more fluid between each community, between the agents, the investigators
08:19and the sub-Saharan population, because some have trouble communicating with each other.
08:25As part of the implementation of the principle of integration in the census of the population
08:29and housing, we must not forget any person legally residing in Morocco. In this sense,
08:34a partnership between the HCP and the United Nations has been put in place.
08:39Precise data on immigrants in Morocco will help the Kingdom to update and develop important
08:45strategies for immigration and asylum. This category plays an important role in society
08:51if it is integrated in an optimal way.
08:55A first confirmed case of monkey fever has been detected in Morocco. This case recorded
09:00in Marrakech has been detected thanks to the monitoring protocols established by the
09:04health authorities. According to the authorities, the patient receives medical care in one of
09:09the specialized centers of the city and is in a stable state of health. The Ministry
09:14reminds citizens to follow the recommended preventive measures.
09:20The Ministry of Health announced the report of the fourth edition of the International
09:24Conference on Public Health in Africa. This report is at the request of the Director-General
09:29of the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because of the current health
09:33situation due to the spread of the Mpox virus, which affects several African countries.
09:38So, Morocco, I suggest you listen to Jean Kessaya, Director-General of the African Centers
09:42for Disease Control and Prevention.
09:45I arrived in Morocco this morning from Addis Abeba, the African Centers for Disease Control
09:51and Prevention, to meet my brother, the Minister of Health of Morocco, and to talk about the
09:57situation of Mpox that exists on our continent. As you know, Morocco reported its first case
10:08yesterday, and this means that all African regions are affected today. We are looking
10:16for all means of fighting to stop this epidemic. The way this epidemic is evolving, we have
10:24already lost 742 people. Just last week, we had 100 more deaths.
10:33As the epidemic is evolving in a rather dangerous way, and as this epidemic requires us to put
10:40all our energy into it, I have officially asked the government of Morocco to consider
10:48postponing the organization of the Conference on Public Health in Africa, which is scheduled
10:56for November, so that it can be held next year.
11:00The permanent representative of Morocco to the UN participated yesterday in the celebration
11:05of the Day for South-South Cooperation. On this occasion, Omar Hilal said that under
11:10the leadership of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, Morocco has made South-South Cooperation
11:15one of the main pillars of its foreign policy. Omar Hilal also reminded that the Moroccan
11:20initiative to give to the Sahel and the Atlantic Ocean consolidates a Moroccan model of South-South
11:27Cooperation oriented towards action.
11:32The United States announced yesterday their support for the creation of two permanent
11:36permanent seats at the UN Security Council for African countries, but without veto rights,
11:40an announcement made as part of a hypothetical reform of the Security Council. The United
11:44States supports the creation of two permanent seats for Africa at the Council, as claimed
11:49by the African countries, said US Ambassador Linda Thomas-Griffith.
11:54As a reminder, the Security Council has 15 members, 5 permanent, who have a veto right,
11:59and 10 elected for two years, representing the different regions of the world, including
12:03three for Africa.
12:07Representatives from Arab and European countries met in Madrid to try to advance the so-called
12:12solution to two states, one Palestinian, the other Israeli. This meeting was called for
12:17the application of the two states to assemble groups of the Arab-Islamic contact group for
12:23Gaza and representatives of the European Chancellery.
12:30In Senegal, Bassir Odiomay was announced yesterday. The dissolution of the National Assembly is
12:34set for legislative elections on November 17. This dissolution allows to form a stable
12:40majority to govern, while the previous legislature, elected in 2022, is dominated by the camp of
12:46the former president Macky Salle. I suggest you listen to the Senegalese president.
12:51I dissolve the National Assembly to ask the sovereign people, the institutional means
12:56that will allow me to give body to the systemic transformation that I have promised them.
13:03Today, more than ever, the time has come to open a new temporality to our quinquennat.
13:10Article 3 of our Constitution recalls that national sovereignty belongs to the people.
13:17Therefore, the people is invited to take up these titles of ennoblement and to decide
13:24sovereignly whether the National Assembly must reflect the deep aspirations of change
13:30that were expressed on the evening of March 24, 2024, or whether it must remain the last
13:38avatar blocking a broken regime.
13:42Couldn't the Senegalese president find a way to cohabit with the new opposition
13:48that holds the parliamentary majority?
13:51Answer from Mrs. Pandambo, historian and former Minister of Culture in Senegal.
13:56This dissolution has become inevitable because when we see the relations between this new
14:04power and the outgoing power, they have been tense relations for several years, well before
14:11the arrival of Basir Odioma Efei's power.
14:14And they did not know how to arrive with the arrival of this election in March 2024.
14:22They did not know how to create the conditions for a dialogue and a relationship, if you will,
14:29to have a consensus on a certain number of things.
14:34And it was inevitable from the moment when the new power, elected by President Odioma Efei
14:40with 54.1% of the electorate in the first round, did not have the majority in the National Assembly,
14:50allowing him to bring the reforms promised to the Senegalese people.
14:56And it has become impossible.
14:58For five months, the National Assembly and the new power have not been able to establish
15:04peaceful relations.
15:06And we had to go towards this solution.
15:09We stay in Senegal, where 39 bodies were found off the port of Pechembourg.
15:15The victims tried to reach the European coasts before the pirogue, carrying them,
15:20sank them.
15:21The Senegalese president went to the scene of the tragedy.
15:24Daoud Asso tells us more.
15:26After the death of 39 irregular migrants, it is the months and the consternation in Senegal.
15:32This is due to the sinking of a pirogue of migrants off the coast of Ndour,
15:37on the Petite Côte, of which President Efei's visit to the locality.
15:41It belongs to us here, all, men and women, young and adult, rulers and citizens,
15:52to put ourselves around a project to build this country and to believe in hope,
15:59to believe in the possibility of changing, by ourselves and for ourselves, the face of our country.
16:08The government works tirelessly to implement adequate public policies
16:18to give jobs to young people here in Senegal and to invite them to the reconstruction of our country.
16:26It is our responsibility to all.
16:30I would also like to call on families to put less pressure on these young people.
16:38An opportunity seized by the head of the Senegalese state to invite the population to the denunciation.
16:44A way to support the authorities in the fight against the phenomenon.
16:48In the next few days, the government will put in place a green number,
16:52because there cannot be a departure in the conditions where people take the sea
16:57without there being someone who knows something about it.
17:00But they must not shut up, because when they shut up,
17:03it is hundreds of young people who lose their lives,
17:06and it is these young people who have to rebuild the country,
17:08it is these young people who build hope.
17:10So, the forces of the government do a remarkable job,
17:14but it is necessary that the population, when this green number is put in place,
17:19that they start denouncing the migration routes
17:23and denouncing all those who are sending young people to the waves of death.
17:30It is necessary that young people and the population understand
17:33that the situation that has taken the sea for these young people for years
17:38cannot be resolved overnight.
17:41This drama occurred in Senegal following the hijacking of a migrant boat
17:46to Europe.
17:48After the discovery of 39 bodies, the Senegalese Navy continues its research.
17:54Many people have still been missing.
17:57The captain of the boat, on the other hand, has been put on hold.
18:02In Côte d'Ivoire, the Ivorian People's Front,
18:04former Prime Minister Pascal Affin Guessant,
18:06has just broken his alliance with the RHDP.
18:09For the next presidential election, this break represents a major issue
18:13for the opposition and the ruling party.
18:15Max Obie and Ferdinand Coacu for the report.
18:19The 2025 presidential election in Côte d'Ivoire promises to be held
18:23and all the facts of political news are related to this.
18:26Pascal Affin Guessant, the president of the FPI,
18:29has just broken his alliance with the RHDP,
18:32of President Alassane Ouattara.
18:34The former prime minister accuses the RHDP of having weakened his party
18:38through this partnership.
18:40Today, we no longer have the position of deputy of Goumerie.
18:44It was the RHDP that took it.
18:46We no longer have the position of deputy of the municipality of Bongonou.
18:50It was the RHDP that took it.
18:52We no longer have the position of mayor of the municipality of Bongonou.
18:55It was the RHDP that took it.
18:57And we no longer have the regional council of Morenon
19:01because of this list of municipalities that we have concluded together.
19:06So we have withdrawn, even in the electoral plenum.
19:09So a party that does not know how to share,
19:12that only applies a partnership that has its exclusive profit.
19:16Why? We will continue to stay.
19:19Pascal Affin Guessant,
19:21officially opposing Alassane Ouattara,
19:23calls on the union of the opposition for the conquest of state power.
19:27If they manage to revise their position
19:32and to consider that giving up this position
19:37is in the interest of the entire opposition,
19:40we react to it and we salute it.
19:43Within the RHDP, this announcement sounds like a non-event.
19:47From my point of view, the FPI must be involved in an approach
19:51to try to think with our large part of the RHDP
19:55in a dynamic in the short, medium and long term.
19:59As long as their real will was to create the conditions
20:02of a real reconciliation in the Ivory Coast.
20:04I remain confident that the FPI will take a step back
20:08with its president, the president Affin Guessant,
20:12for whom I have a lot of respect,
20:15but who, from my point of view, has not been inspired by this approach.
20:19The PPACI of the former president Laurent Gbagbo,
20:22takes action on this rupture of partnership.
20:25As for the PDCI-RDA, the SEPCAGENER party
20:28has not yet spoken on the matter.
20:30Speculations will show,
20:32as for the re-dynamization of the opposition,
20:34still weakened by the wars of human positions,
20:37not only 13 months after the presidential election,
20:39probably the strongest after that of 2010.
20:44Arabala Gallery Rivage welcomes
20:46the latest exhibition of Nour Dilwarari,
20:48Shade of my past,
20:50summarizes the life of this native artist
20:52of the Dorb Sultan district,
20:54which remains its greatest source of inspiration.
20:56This is a report by Mahesh Jamal and Youssef Hamou.
20:59Shade of my past,
21:01an exhibition whose masterpieces
21:03are captured by Nour Dilwarari,
21:05in the heart of the Dorb Sultan district,
21:07in the economic capital.
21:09Shades of my past,
21:11and portraits that highlight
21:13the particularity of this neighborhood
21:15and its diversity.
21:22This exhibition was born in Dorb Sultan,
21:24a neighborhood that is close to my heart.
21:26It is a source of total inspiration.
21:28We had a neighborhood that was rich.
21:30At the time, we did not know
21:32that it had a special richness.
21:34It is a preservation of our culture,
21:36the society in which we live,
21:38and the preservation of the people
21:40who lived with us in the Dorb.
21:47These artistic jewels
21:49were dreamed of by Nour Dilwarari's
21:51parents and friends,
21:53the memories of the last 40 years,
21:55as well as the nostalgia for the traditions
21:57that he knew in the past.
22:00These are the shadows of his life.
22:02He is very familiar.
22:04He is a very familiar guy,
22:06a very good neighbor,
22:08a very good friend.
22:12So it is his inspiration,
22:14his neighborhood.
22:16He is attached to his neighborhood,
22:18even though he left 40 years ago.
22:20But every time he comes,
22:22he is inspired by his neighborhood.
22:24He wants it to stay in people's memories.
22:26It is an exhibition that means
22:28a lot to him and to us
22:30as his family.
22:32She tells a part of her story,
22:34a part of the history of Morocco,
22:36a part of the history of our family.
22:38We have faces and portraits
22:40of aunts, of neighbors,
22:42of neighbors.
22:44For us, it is a tribute
22:46to all these people
22:48and a tribute to a part
22:50of the history of Morocco.
23:02He has been immigrating to the United States
23:04since the 1980s.
23:06He has a degree in photography
23:08from the University of Texas.
23:10He has accumulated a fundamental experience
23:12with people
23:14in photography studios
23:16and advertising.
23:20This is the end of this news.
23:22Thank you for following it here with us.
