00:00Thank you for joining us for this edition of L'Actualité, here are the headlines.
00:22Opening of the International Symposium on Transitional Justice, His Majesty the King
00:27Mohammed VI addressed a message to the participants elected by the President of the National Council
00:32of Human Rights. Details in a few moments.
00:37In Syria, the rebels continue their advance and are now at the gates of Homs, the last
00:42big city, still in the hands of the government of President Bashar al-Assad. Russia has called
00:49the refugees to leave the country.
00:51The end seems near for Yun Suk-ryeol, the South Korean president has been released by
01:01his own party on the eve of a parliamentary vote on his dismissal the day after his attempt
01:10to repeal the martial law. We meet again shortly for the development.
01:14Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. L'Actualité leads us first to Rabat with the opening of
01:21the International Symposium on Transitional Justice. His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
01:28addressed a message to the participants of this international meeting organized in commemoration
01:34of the 20th anniversary of the creation in Morocco of the Justice and Reconciliation Institute.
01:40The sovereign highlighted the importance of this institute, which played a crucial role
01:45in the democratic transformation and the dynamic development of Morocco. More details in this
01:51report by Younes Mazi, Younes Asghiri, in Benani for the story.
01:56This Friday, at the headquarters of the Moroccan Parliament, an international symposium was
02:00held on transitional justice. The theme was the processes of transitional justice for
02:07sustainable reforms. During two days, the event will focus on themes related to the
02:12process of transitional justice, including the possible interactions between the latter
02:17and constitutional, legislative and judicial reforms.
02:27With the 2011 constitution, institutional reforms, the establishment of institutions
02:32that enjoy good governance and respect human rights, consultative bodies and legislative
02:38reforms, all these elements show that the Moroccan experience in the field of transitional
02:44justice is the consecration of a voluntary decision and a societal conviction to break
02:50with the past violations of human rights.
02:54The participants in this symposium will also highlight the role of public institutions
03:00and civil society organizations in this process and in the implementation of recommendations
03:05issued by transitional justice bodies.
03:13This event is unique in its kind because it highlights the vision of His Majesty King
03:20Mohamed VI in terms of the consecration of a state of law, a democratic state and a state
03:26reconciled with itself.
03:35This business model of equity, truth and reconciliation deserves to be a model to be
03:43duplicated elsewhere, I say this with full knowledge of the cause, because as President
03:49of the African Commission on Human Rights, you know that we have a study on transitional
03:54justice that we propose to the States, as well as the African Union.
03:59This symposium will also focus on the means by which to take part in the courses that
04:04constitute a reference for other current and future experiences, in particular the IER
04:09as a rich experience in terms of good practices and unique in terms of management, implementation
04:15and recommendations.
04:18We are now in the south of the kingdom, more precisely in Dakhla, where the MDSAHRA forum
04:23was held.
04:25Organized by Morocco Diplomatic, the event, which is in its fourth edition, is based on
04:31the theme of King Mohamed VI, 25 years of royal vision, 10 years of the fate of the
04:37southern provinces.
04:38This two-day forum brings together experts and decision-makers on major issues related
04:43to the development of the Sahara.
04:49The leader of the rebels in Syria claimed to want to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad
04:54after his fighters broke free from their fiefdoms to seize key cities during a
05:01brilliant offensive to which Turkey supported.
05:05If the rebels seize Homs, the third city in the country alone, Damascus and the Mediterranean
05:11coast will still be in the hands of President Assad's forces, whose family has been in
05:16power for more than five decades.
05:22The rebel offensive in Syria, launched against the power of Bashar al-Assad and qualified
05:27by Iran as a terrorist, represents a threat to the Middle East.
05:31This Friday, in Baghdad, the head of Iranian diplomacy, Abbas Araqchi, whose country is
05:37in unconditional support of the Syrian power, was estimated.
05:40On our front, in eastern Syria, the Syrian forces and their pro-Iranian allies withdrew
05:46from the areas they control in the province of Deir ez-Zor, while the Kurdish forces
05:52advance to declare Rami Abdel Rahman director of the OSDH.
06:01Turkish President Erdogan wished that the advance of the rebels in Syria continues without
06:07incident, assuming that their objective is the capital of Damascus.
06:12We wish that this advance continues without incident, to declare the head of state close
06:17to the rebellion, evoking his relations with the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, with
06:22whom he had attempted to start a process of reconciliation under the aegis of Russia.
06:28Here, President Erdogan took note of his absence of positive response.
06:36While the situation is worrying in Syria, Russia calls on its outposts to leave the country,
06:42while Israel announces to reinforce its troops on the occupied Syrian Golan.
06:47The reactions multiply after the advance of the rebels, the point of the situation with
06:52Raja Ingo.
06:55Less than a week, the rampant offensive of the rebels has inflicted a serious blow to
07:00the government of President Bashar al-Assad, who is struggling to slow their rapid progression
07:05towards the city of Homs.
07:07If these armed groups seize Homs, only the capital of Damascus and the Mediterranean
07:11coast will still be in the hands of the government.
07:14The army uses all its means to protect civilians, the first victims of this conflict.
07:20To our proud and resistant people, with the courage of our armed forces, today we are
07:25waging a fierce battle against the most powerful terrorist organizations that use the gang method.
07:31This forces our armed forces to adopt appropriate methods in combat, including lightning attacks.
07:38In the last hours, the rebels have entered the cities of Rastan and Talbiseh, located
07:43in the province of Homs, in the total absence of the regime's forces.
07:47The armed groups are now 5 km from Homs, the third city in Syria.
07:51The calls for a ceasefire have all remained unanswered.
07:57We are seeing the bitter fruit.
07:59We can see that the previous attempts to put an end to tensions have failed and have not
08:03allowed for a ceasefire or to launch a real political process to apply the decisions
08:09of the Security Council.
08:11It has to change.
08:13This must change.
08:15The control of Homs will allow the rebels to cut the main road leading to the Syrian coast.
08:20The armed forces of power have also sent reinforcements to Homs, where the inhabitants
08:25have not hidden their fear of the advance of the rebels.
08:28Thousands of them fled to the country's west coast after being caught by the rebels
08:32of Hama, who now command the road to Homs, about 40 km south of the capital Damascus.
08:39Direction La France, where Emmanuel Macron receives several political leaders in view
08:45of the formation of a government of general interest, which the PSCD is ready to discuss
08:50on the basis of reciprocal concessions, but with a left-wing prime minister.
08:55The head of state, in search of a government arc, tried to regain control yesterday
09:00during a televised speech promising the appointment of a new prime minister
09:04in the coming days.
09:06During several participants in the meeting with the central bloc, the announcement of
09:10the name of a new head of state should not intervene before Monday.
09:17Yon Suu Kyi, seems close to the fall.
09:19The South Korean president has been released by his own party, which has judged that it
09:24constitutes a danger for the country on the eve of a vote in parliament on his dismissal
09:30for his failed attempt to impose martial law.
09:34Raja Ngo made the point.
09:36Fearing a new coup d'etat of the president who has disappeared from the public space
09:41since Wednesday, the opposition deputies decided to remain firm until the examination
09:46of the death penalty on Saturday night.
09:48Demonstrations to demand the departure of the conservative president should gather thousands
09:53of participants, many more are expected on Saturday in front of the parliament and in
09:58the city center of Seoul to support the death penalty.
10:05Even if martial law is lifted, it cannot escape the accusations of treason.
10:09It has been clearly revealed to the whole nation that President Yun could no longer
10:13lead the country normally.
10:15He must resign, resign immediately.
10:17It is the people who decide.
10:23For his opponents, if the president remains in office, there is a high risk that extreme
10:28actions similar to the declaration of martial law will occur, which could put the Republic
10:33of Korea and its citizens in great danger.
10:36The Ministry of Defense has sought to reassure the population that no martial law will be
10:41in force in the country.
10:45The allegations concerning the possibility of a second martial law, which was mentioned
10:49earlier this morning, are completely false.
10:51Even if there are requests for a declaration of martial law, the Ministry of Defense and
10:55the heads of the inter-army state majorities absolutely reject them.
11:00If the mention is approved, Yu Seung-yul will be suspended while awaiting the validation
11:05of his dismissal by the Constitutional Court.
11:08In the event that it is confirmed, a presidential election will take place in less than 60 days
11:12and the interim will be ensured by Prime Minister Han Duk-soo.
11:17Local consumer has the honor in Senegal.
11:20The fourth edition of Made in Senegal has opened in Dakar.
11:24We have been able to value our local products and build national changes on the theme of
11:29this edition, which is devoted to the promotion of Senegalese creativity and innovation.
11:35Usain Nguyen and Moussa Niir took part in it.
11:39This Made in Senegal show is a mirror to reaffirm local entrepreneurship and development.
11:45It is also an appointment of Senegalese know-how and creativity.
11:55The Made in Senegal is a showcase for the promotion of local actors and the diversity of Senegalese products.
12:02This year, the theme is to value our local products and build champions.
12:07What we are looking for is to boost the Senegalese private sector.
12:11We know that the informal sector is very strong here in Senegal and it is always good to support them.
12:17As an event and communication structure, our first role is to provide them with visibility.
12:25Authorities, companies and technical and institutional partners have praised the dynamism and innovation of local artists.
12:34The Made in Senegal is much more than a label, it is the embodiment of our history,
12:42our cultural diversity and our prosperous future thanks to the talent of Senegalese.
12:49This show offers an exceptional platform to promote exchanges, strengthen partnerships and promote our products.
12:59Promoting the Made in Senegal is a noble work.
13:03We have a lot of excellent Senegalese in their field who may have trouble promoting their products.
13:12With more than 100 exhibitors expected this year, this show aims to encourage Senegalese entrepreneurship and to further boost the local economy.
13:22We can only think of Made in Senegal, because there is everything in Made in Senegal.
13:28As much in the building, as much in the interior decoration, as much in the clothing as in the consumption.
13:36We have everything and good quality in Made in Senegal.
13:39We came to the 4th Made in Senegal show because we are Senegalese.
13:43We are Senegalese. We have to promote local products, Senegalese products.
13:49We have coconut based milk, coconut based bisap, coconut mint.
13:55We also have ginger coconut.
13:57It's a snack and it's very good for your health.
14:01A developed, just and prosperous Senegal to ensure a sustainable endogenous development,
14:09such is the credo of the 4th edition of the Made in Senegal show.
14:14In Côte d'Ivoire, the first edition of the international show of extractive and energy resources is in full swing,
14:22with a focus on the work of the traditional blacksmiths.
14:26An ancestral know-how that goes through time.
14:29Our correspondents Mel Berchel and Ange-Wilfried Merogna have visited the village of the blacksmiths of Côte d'Ivoire.
14:36In the heart of the sub-prefecture of Koni, north of Côte d'Ivoire,
14:40the know-how of the traditional blacksmiths is passed down from generation to generation.
14:45During the CIREX 2024 in Abidjan, this cultural and artisanal heritage was honoured in a dedicated stand.
14:52Alexis Sekongo, manager of the stand, explains to us the key stages of the transformation of raw iron into a finished object,
15:00illustrating the richness of this ancestral know-how.
15:03The furnace is designed to be able to make fusion, but as there are quantities of pellets, there are 400 pellets that must be used.
15:09This is what will now give the metal.
15:11But the collected product is still raw.
15:13It is not necessarily done in a clean way.
15:16That means that the quality is sought.
15:18We will now use the traditional blacksmith's hammer, that is to say a pipe to break,
15:23make powder, sift it and now go to the forge.
15:27And that's where it will melt.
15:29What we do now, what comes out now, now the blacksmith says to you, this is the iron that is there.
15:34Beyond the presentation of the products, this stand has been the subject of an awareness of the importance of preserving and valuing this unique expertise.
15:42We have a human potential.
15:44And what is interesting is that the blacksmith is born an actor.
15:48The transmission is done from father to son.
15:51So you see how today, I can't tell you how many years he's been in this field.
15:55He was born a blacksmith, he will die a blacksmith.
15:58For the Ivorian Minister of Mines, this first edition of CIREX was an opportunity to highlight
16:03the link between ancestral traditions and modern innovation in the extractive sector.
16:09By appealing to our traditions in the research and exploitation of extractive resources.
16:16This year, it is the blacksmith's forge in the sub-prefecture of Corogo that will be in attraction.
16:25CIREX emphasizes the public governance of extractive resources and the sharing of experiences between public administrations.
16:37The blacksmith's forge stand in Coney captivated the attention of CIREX participants in 2024.
16:42Recalling that sustainable development also involves the appreciation of our traditions.
16:47An immersion that illustrates the importance of combining modernity and cultural heritage.
16:53The season of the harvest of olives is suspended in Tunisia.
16:56A decision far from being unanimous among farmers,
16:59which calls on the state to reorient the current subsidies
17:04dedicated to vegetable oil to olive oil, from Tunis Najwa Bechat for more details.
17:13We are in the province of Kairouan, 150 km southwest of Tunisia.
17:18A region famous for the reprehensible quality of its olive oil.
17:22We met the farmer Fraj El Hadidi, owner of 5 hectares of olive trees.
17:28He is part of the delegation of Amor Bou Hajla.
17:32El Hadidi spoke with regret and bitterness about the difficulties he faced during the season at school.
17:42We started to harvest olives.
17:46But with the decrease in the price of olives, the oil companies did not accept to buy the harvest.
17:51So we decided to stop the harvest.
17:54The season at school was lost this year due to the lack of sales and lack of solutions.
18:00The state must therefore act and provide solutions as soon as possible.
18:06In the south of Tunisia, many other farmers decided to stop their olive harvesting operations.
18:13Others protested to express their anger at the collapse of the prices this year.
18:19And finally, the harvest of olives stopped throughout the Tunisian territory.
18:26I am from the delegation of Shrard.
18:28The prices here are very low.
18:30We therefore decided this year to abandon this olive tree, to abandon our source of subsistence.
18:37We are obliged to do so.
18:40Faced with this situation, President Khesse Saïd has hired the National Oil Office to intervene and recover the production of olive oil.
18:48The latter has so far been unable to fulfill the presidential will.
18:54Experts in agricultural policy say they do not have the means to carry out this mission,
19:00at the level of storage or at the level of the financial sector,
19:04thus creating a void in the last link of the production chain of olive oil.
19:09This has prompted the government to take other measures,
19:13by announcing the opening of the market to private exporters for the export of olive oil in bulk.
19:21A decision that comes into force as early as January 2025.
19:28This is an important and vital sector in Tunisia, because it constitutes a strong source of currency for the country.
19:34Last year, 5,400 billion in currency was introduced into the state budget.
19:41This year, we were surprised by the sharp drop in prices, which affected the season of the school as a whole.
19:49The issue is crucial, not only for the producers, but for the Tunisian economy as a whole.
19:55The press and the school sector need a long-term vision, as confirmed by agricultural policy experts.
20:06Back in the kingdom, this year the International Film Festival in Marrakech
20:10organized 14 sessions of conversations, marked by the new generation of Moroccan directors.
20:17Ilhan Berrada met Ismail Iraki, who is preparing his second feature.
20:25The conversations are an important moment at the International Film Festival in Marrakech.
20:31This year, 14 sessions were organized, including a conversation with four Moroccan directors.
20:40They are part of the new generation.
20:43Yasmin Malkiran, Ala Addin Jamal, Kamal Azraq and Ismail Iraki.
20:48It is a pleasure and an honor to be with you.
20:50Ismail Iraki, thank you very much for accepting our invitation.
20:53You attended the conversation this morning.
20:56How was this meeting with the public?
20:59It was great.
21:01It is a great opportunity to be here to represent our generation.
21:06There were Yasmin, Kamal and Ala, but we thought there could be others.
21:12With us, Ismail Moudir, Sofia Elhaoui, Seyed Hemi.
21:17There are a lot of directors with whom we share a generation spirit.
21:24We are aware of each other's projects.
21:28I think there is a lot of kindness between us, and you can feel it this morning.
21:31There is a real connection.
21:34It was really great.
21:36You participate a lot in the Atlas workshops.
21:43This year, the Palmarès was quite remarkable.
21:46A Moroccan, a Senegalese, a Burkina Faso, two Senegalese, Egypt, Lebanon.
21:53What do you think about this new generation of directors from the continent and the MENA region?
22:01I can't tell you who told me this this morning.
22:04The organization team, who knows everyone in the cinema, told me what I think is great.
22:09This year, among the participants in the Atlas workshops, there is not one that I know.
22:14And that means everything.
22:16These are really newcomers.
22:19This is the Atlas workshops.
22:23The four of us who were there this morning, we all had the chance to go through the Atlas workshops.
22:28At various moments of the production, post-production, writing of our first films.
22:34Before being there, no one knows us, no one knows what we did.
22:39And that's what's great.
22:41There is this platform at the workshops, to really bring out filmmakers by the pure strength of their projects.
22:51It's great.
22:53You are not completely at rest, because you are working on your second feature film.
23:00What can you say about the evolution of this project to the media?
23:06Every day we add a stone.
23:10It's an ambitious film, my second.
23:15We don't know how to set easy-to-reach objectives.
23:19But I think the idea is that the audience is surprised to embark.
23:26It's a proposal a bit like in the first film, which mixes many different genres.
23:32But in this one, around a main female figure, there is something of a great magnitude.
23:43A story that precipitates us a bit in the tragedy.
23:48What I can say is that it takes place between the north of Morocco and the south of Spain.
23:53We hope to present the film soon.
23:56In any case, we look forward to it with great impatience.
23:59Thank you very much, Smael Haraki, for responding to our invitation.
24:02And I remind you that you are a Moroccan director.
24:05And that you participated in this edition of the conversations
24:10alongside the new generation of Moroccan directors.
24:15I also remind you that the International Film Festival in Marrakech
24:20ends tomorrow, Saturday, December 7th.
