00:00We are still together on Medium TV, thank you for staying loyal to us.
00:20Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:23Opening in Rabat in the International Symposium on Transitional Justice,
00:27His Majesty the King Mohammed VI addressed a message to the participants,
00:31a message whose reading was given by Amina Boyaj,
00:34President of the National Council of Human Rights.
00:37We are talking about it in the East Zone.
00:41After taking Aleppo and the strategic city of Hama in Syria,
00:45the rebels led by the HDS continue their advance.
00:49They are now at the gates of Homs.
00:52The last big city still in the hands of the authorities.
00:58At the beginning of his speech in France,
01:00Emmanuel Macron received this Friday several political leaders,
01:04from the PSOLR to those from his own camp,
01:07in view of the formation of a government of general interest
01:11after the censorship of Michel Barri.
01:17We start this newspaper in Rabat,
01:19where it opened today in the International Symposium on Transitional Justice.
01:24On this occasion, His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
01:27addressed a message to the participants
01:30to this international meeting,
01:31organized in commemoration of the 20th anniversary
01:35of the creation in Morocco of the Equity and Reconciliation Institute.
01:40And in this message read by Amina Boyaj,
01:43President of the National Council of Human Rights,
01:46for the sovereign has highlighted the importance of this institute
01:49which played a crucial role in the democratic transformation
01:54and the development dynamics that the kingdom knows.
01:57For the sovereign, the ultimate issue of his creation
02:01was none other than the preservation of the dignity of all Moroccans.
02:05A dynamic that made Morocco a very good student in terms of transitional justice,
02:11which has opened the way to major reconciliations with history.
02:16And space, a will that has allowed a number of regions of Morocco
02:22that were accused of a great development deficit,
02:25to remedy the case of the southern provinces today,
02:28which attracts many investors.
02:31The sovereign recognizes that there is still work to be done
02:35in terms of transitional justice,
02:38but hopes that this symposium will give the Moroccan experience
02:43the eminent place that is his choice.
02:49In the kingdom, we continue to talk about the refound
02:52of the National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity.
02:55It will now encompass all the components of the energy sector in Ben Ali.
03:03Under the royal directive, the National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity
03:07now covers the entire energy sector.
03:10In addition to electricity, the field of regulation entrusted to the NRE
03:14will be extended to liquefied natural gas,
03:17renewable energies, including green hydrogen and its derivatives,
03:21as well as the entire value chain,
03:23covering production, storage, transport and distribution.
03:28This reform comes at a time when Morocco has made significant progress
03:33in terms of energy sovereignty.
03:35At the end of 2023, the capacity to install renewable energy in Morocco
03:39had reached 4,600 megawatts,
03:42representing more than 41% of the national electric mix.
03:46This percentage should increase from this year,
03:49with the imminent installation of wind farms in the Tangier region
03:53and in Essaouira, in the region of Souss-Massa and in the province of Sfranc.
03:58These performance in terms of energy
04:00is the fruit of the national energy strategy of the kingdom,
04:04initiated since 2009.
04:06This strategy is based on three main pillars,
04:09energy security, energy efficiency
04:13and the development of renewable energies.
04:16This strategy aims to diversify energy sources,
04:20reduce consumption and costs,
04:22and achieve the ambitious goal of 52% of the electrical capacity
04:27installed from renewable sources by 2030.
04:31Among the key energy projects launched by Morocco
04:34as part of its energy transition,
04:37we can mention wind farms.
04:39The country has invested heavily in them,
04:42notably Tarfaya wind farm, which is one of the largest in Africa.
04:46In terms of solar energy,
04:48there is the establishment of the various solar power plants Nour.
04:52Moreover, in terms of green hydrogen,
04:55Morocco plans a total investment of 60 billion dollars
04:59to develop its green hydrogen production capacity,
05:02which could generate up to 160 terawatts of hydrogen by 2050.
05:08This represents a huge potential
05:10enough to meet a significant part of the global demand.
05:15Finally, in terms of GNL, liquefied natural gas,
05:20the country plans a significant increase in its production
05:24with projects such as that of Tsendrara,
05:26which should produce 100 million cubic meters per year by 2025,
05:31and an extension to 280 million cubic meters per year in the long term.
05:35In this regard, several projects are planned,
05:38including the construction of domestic gas pipelines and import terminals.
05:43A protocol has been signed to establish a gas pipeline
05:47to focus on the Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline,
05:50or the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline.
05:55At the moment, the president of the Chamber of Councils,
05:59Hulday Rashid, had yesterday in Panama City
06:02an interview with the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Guevara Mann.
06:08This interview took place on the occasion of Hulday Rashid's participation
06:12in the work of the General Assembly of the Parliament of Latin America and the Caribbean,
06:17which closed yesterday in the capital of Panama.
06:20It is part of the consolidation of cooperation relations
06:24between Morocco and this country,
06:27cooperation based on mutual respect and dialogue,
06:30and which opens promising prospects for trilateral partnerships
06:35both in Africa and in the Latin-Caribbean space.
06:42Akinwumi Ayodeji,
06:44former president of the African Development Bank Group,
06:48was received yesterday in Rabat by the head of the government, Azar Hanouch.
06:52During his interviews, he praised the profound transformation
06:56of Morocco under the leadership of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
06:59He also recalled that Morocco is the first client of the BAD,
07:04the African Development Bank,
07:06which has committed to provide its support during this year
07:09to projects for an additional amount of 1.5 billion dollars.
07:14The president of the BAD also plans to support
07:17the preparations for the 2030 World Cup.
07:19Together, we listen to him.
07:21I just had an interview with the Prime Minister,
07:25with my dear brother, the Prime Minister, and with Hanouch.
07:28It was an excellent discussion,
07:31and I took the opportunity to convey his words
07:35to His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
07:43for all the support he gives to the African Development Bank,
07:46and above all, we are here for the Africa Investment Forum.
07:50His Majesty has supported this a lot, so we are here.
07:53I explained to the Prime Minister
07:55that this is a great success for us.
07:58We are always proud to be here,
08:00with all the support and facilities
08:02that we have at our disposal.
08:04We have had more than 2,300 participants
08:12from 83 countries around the world.
08:19We have seen many investors come here,
08:22more than 1,700 investors have come to invest here.
08:29We are well placed here, we have been well received,
08:32so it is a great success.
08:35We also had the opportunity to discuss the country of Morocco.
08:40As you know, the country of Morocco
08:42is the first client of the African Development Bank.
08:44We have projects here, 37 projects here,
08:47with a portfolio of 3.6 billion dollars
08:52that cover a lot of areas, infrastructure, energy,
08:55water, sanitation, private sector and all that.
08:58I also had the opportunity to tell the Prime Minister
09:02that by the end of this year,
09:04we have already made the preparation for this year
09:06of 1.5 billion dollars for Morocco.
09:09And the Prime Minister explained to me
09:13the work that needs to be done
09:15in the sense of preparing for the World Cup in 2030.
09:22The President of ABAD, who is taking part in the 5th edition
09:25of the Africa Investment Forum, which closes today,
09:29placed under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
09:32This meeting brings together key players
09:34to facilitate the financing and implementation of projects
09:38with a strong impact for the continent.
09:40Have a good year.
09:42The Africa Investment Forum 2024 continues in Rabat,
09:46placed under the theme of drawing on innovative partnerships
09:50to move at a faster pace.
09:52This meeting allowed several countries to sign agreements
09:55with the African Development Bank.
09:58The objective is to multiply investments in education,
10:02agri-industry, health, energy, water and infrastructure in Africa.
10:08The signing of the agreement with Italy is very important
10:12for the African Development Bank.
10:15It reflects the importance of the partnership
10:20between our institution and Italy,
10:24but also our common objective of sustainable development
10:30for the African continent.
10:32A promising agreement concerning nine African countries in Morocco
10:37with an estimated financial envelope of 400 million euros.
10:41Today I'm really honoured to have signed together with the African Development Bank.
10:45We are very honoured to sign today a partnership agreement
10:49with the African Development Bank.
10:51An agreement on sustainable infrastructure.
10:54This agreement should be able to finance important projects,
10:59especially thanks to the important network of the African Development Bank.
11:03It is an excellent opportunity that we have today
11:06to strengthen investments in Africa,
11:09especially those related to sustainability.
11:11Enhancing investments into Africa.
11:15Since its launch in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum
11:19has mobilized nearly 180 billion dollars in investments
11:23for major projects in the energy,
11:27infrastructure, health and agriculture sectors,
11:30thus strengthening its status as the main investment platform in Africa
11:35for global investors.
11:37I want to announce it in the headlines.
11:41After taking Aleppo, the strategic city of Hama, in Syria,
11:45the rebels led by the HDS continue their advance.
11:49They are now at the gates of Homs,
11:52the last large city still in power.
11:55In less than a week, their raging offensive
11:58has seriously affected the Syrian army.
12:02And if the rebels take over Homs,
12:04only the capital of Hamas and the Mediterranean coast
12:07will be in the hands of President Bashar al-Assad's government.
12:15In this context, fear covers the city of Homs.
12:19This is the only thing that can.
12:20Several Syrians fled Hamas,
12:22a city that could, I remind you, at any moment fall into the hands of the rebels.
12:27And in this context of advancing armed groups,
12:30the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
12:32has reported this morning air strikes on the strategic highway bridge
12:37Al Rastan on the Hama-Homs axis.
12:44In France, Emmanuel Macron is receiving several political leaders today,
12:48from the PS to the LR,
12:50including those from his own camp.
12:53In view of the formation of a government,
12:55he tried yesterday to regain control
12:58during a television interview
13:00where he promised the nomination of a new prime minister
13:03in the coming days after Michel Barnier's censorship.
13:07I don't know, he told me.
13:10By speaking out against the nation on Thursday evening,
13:13French President Emmanuel Macron assured
13:16that his Prime Minister Michel Barnier
13:18was a victim of an anti-republican front
13:20within which the far right and the far left have united.
13:24Yesterday, the government was censored.
13:27And this despite the concessions made by Michel Barnier
13:31to all parliamentary groups.
13:34It has been censored, which is unprecedented for 60 years,
13:37because the far right and the far left have united
13:42in an anti-republican front
13:44and because forces that still ruled France yesterday
13:47have chosen to help them.
13:50The speech of the head of state was not unanimous.
13:53Several personalities expressed their disagreement and shock.
13:57If there was censorship, it's because there was 49.3.
14:0149.3 has been dropped,
14:03that is, the law is considered adopted
14:07if there is no motion of censorship.
14:08The only way we can oppose a law in these conditions
14:12is censorship.
14:14This is called the life of parliament.
14:16And this is what Mr. Macron has just called anti-republican.
14:19I think Mr. Macron has a big problem.
14:22He doesn't understand what's going on,
14:24neither in the country nor in the political morals of this country.
14:26The French president, who is committed to the search for a governing arc,
14:30has tried to regain control during his television speech,
14:33where he promised to nominate a new prime minister in the coming days.
14:38We cannot afford divisions or immobility.
14:43That's why I will nominate a prime minister in the coming days.
14:47I will make him a government of general interest,
14:50representing all the political forces of a governing arc
14:54who can participate in it, or at least who is committed not to censor it.
14:58Emmanuel Macron must receive during the day
15:00the leaders of the Macronist camp,
15:02the leaders of the Les Républicains party,
15:04as well as the head of the socialist deputies, Boris Vallaud,
15:07and his Senate counterpart, Patrick Caner,
15:09without forgetting the head of the party, Olivier Faure.
15:12In the last news, the French Socialist Party said it was ready
15:16to discuss with the presidential camp and the right,
15:19in order to form a new government.
15:21The announcement of the name of the new prime minister
15:23is not planned before the weekend, or even on Monday.
15:25A little more time is required to know the composition of his new team.
15:31The return to the kingdom,
15:33where the international film festival of Marrakech
15:36continues in the Vélocre,
15:37with the traditional parade of celebrities on the red carpet.
15:41It is far from being a simple passage
15:43to turn the spotlight on the actors and directors
15:47who will be met by our special envoy on site, Ilhame Berada.
15:51My first participation, but it's not for nothing,
15:54that is to say that today I have a perspective
15:59at the level of cinema.
16:01I am working on a film
16:04which will be shot, God willing, in 2025.
16:08And so it is also one of the reasons for my presence,
16:10because I want to know a little how it goes.
16:14I come from Marrakech,
16:15and I had the chance to see this festival born when I was younger.
16:18The latter, which has existed for more than 20 years,
16:21has greatly contributed to the recognition of Moroccan cinema
16:24by highlighting the talent of local artists.
16:26The festival gives an important place to Moroccan artists,
16:29thus offering an ideal opportunity to meet and exchange
16:32with artists from all over the world.
16:34It is therefore a real place of exchange, of experience,
16:37favoring complementarity between artists.
16:40I came, I think, at the very beginning of the festival,
16:43and I loved it.
16:45And I also know since then that it is an open door
16:48to African cinema,
16:50and workshops.
16:52Tonight we will see an Iranian film.
16:54It is a festival that interests me
16:56from a human, political and cinematographic point of view.
17:01For me, cinema is really a look,
17:05a kind of world tour,
17:07and this is what is happening here too,
17:09a world tour on how the world is,
17:11how the world is going,
17:13the world is going badly,
17:15the world is going badly,
17:17and it is important that films,
17:19films that are committed,
17:21also for many,
17:23can be the witness of this world.
17:25I was in a meeting,
17:27and I wanted to...
17:29For me, it was a meeting
17:31and a very interesting conversation,
17:33because I felt like I was being stretched,
17:35because I felt like I was being stretched,
17:37and I also discovered things about myself.
17:39I feel a great cultural proximity,
17:41I feel an ease,
17:43and a warmth that is very familiar to me,
17:45and very pleasant,
17:47and so I am very curious to see
17:49how my film will be received by this audience in Marrakech.
17:51I am very interested,
17:53I am very curious
17:55to see what the audience will do
17:57to show the film here.
17:59Now we have the invitation
18:01of the great newspaper of the day,
18:03Les Septièmes Arts,
18:05with our special guest in Marrakech,
18:07Ilhaim Berrada,
18:09who went to meet the Moroccan director
18:11Samira El Mouz Rebati,
18:13born in Belgium.
18:15Her first feature film
18:17was presented yesterday
18:19at the Marrakech International Film Festival
18:21in the Panorama category,
18:23a Moroccan film
18:25on which she has largely
18:27returned to the microphone of Ilhaim Berrada.
18:29Let's listen to them together.
18:31The Marrakech International Film Festival
18:33continues here in Villoc.
18:35The festival is an opportunity
18:37to see films from all over the world,
18:39but above all
18:41to see and discover
18:43Moroccan cinema
18:45and us, and in particular the new generation.
18:47Today I have the pleasure
18:49to have with me
18:51Samira El Mouz Rebati
18:53who presented her first feature film
18:55called Les Miennes.
18:57Samira El Mouz Rebati,
19:00it is a pleasure and an honor to be with you.
19:02Thank you very much for accepting our invitation.
19:04First of all,
19:06a word on this participation in Marrakech
19:08and your feeling of having presented
19:10your first documentary, your first film
19:12here in Marrakech, in your country.
19:14Hello,
19:16it is very moving
19:18for me to have the opportunity
19:20to show this film in Morocco.
19:22We come from Belgian-Rifen immigration,
19:24so it is very symbolic
19:26to show the film
19:28in the country of my parents,
19:30I was born in Belgium,
19:32and in addition to a Rifen-Marrakech film,
19:34it is full of symbols,
19:36so I am very proud and very moved.
19:38Full of symbols,
19:40but above all a lot of emotions.
19:42I will try to explain it to our viewers
19:44at least the way I saw it.
19:46You decided to make a film
19:48about your family, about your mother,
19:50about her relationship with you,
19:52not a simple relationship,
19:54but there is a lot of love,
19:56we can't deny it,
19:58even if there are reproaches from one side
20:00to the other,
20:02but there is a lot of emotion,
20:04we cry a lot,
20:06I am moved.
20:08How did you come up with the idea
20:10to pose the camera
20:12in front of a Rifen woman,
20:14of a very, very great modesty,
20:16and that finally came to you
20:18even with a lot of tenderness
20:20and a lot of modesty?
20:22I come from the cinema,
20:24and I think I needed,
20:26I was becoming a mother
20:28when I started this film,
20:30and I needed to come back
20:32to the story of the women in my family.
20:34My mother, my father too,
20:36are very modest people
20:38who don't necessarily talk about their story,
20:40and I needed to dig,
20:42I am the last of the family,
20:44I needed to understand
20:46where I come from,
20:48where I belong in their journey,
20:50and to understand my journey too.
20:52The camera was a tool
20:54that allowed me to take this path
20:56towards my parents,
20:58because the camera has the power
21:00to give courage,
21:02to allow us to create spaces
21:04that we can't create outside.
21:06When we place a camera,
21:08I want to look at you,
21:10and I want us to talk,
21:12that's what it allows me to say
21:14with a camera.
21:16A camera that you put in front of your mother
21:18in Belgium,
21:21and I was surprised
21:23that you kept images,
21:25memories of this moment
21:27of freedom,
21:29I would say almost a rebellion
21:31for your mother,
21:33but for you it was freedom,
21:35and to see in this documentary
21:37the classic format,
21:39the old videos,
21:41because there is your sister's wedding,
21:43there is also the format today,
21:45the telephone format,
21:47you are between yesterday's world
21:49and today's world,
21:51how did you come up with
21:53this modern film
21:55that corresponds to the cinema
21:57of this new Moroccan generation?
21:59I think the film
22:01has the image
22:03of a hybrid identity,
22:05so it is hybrid
22:07in its formats,
22:09and it traces a temporality
22:11over more than 30 years,
22:13so in 30 years
22:15we have several statues
22:17of the VHS,
22:19of the telephone archives,
22:21and of the things we filmed,
22:23and it is recorded over this time,
22:25so the images retranscribe that,
22:27and here is the move with my mother,
22:29it is the same,
22:31I felt that it was an important moment
22:33for the family,
22:35it is my tool to film,
22:37sometimes I don't have the words,
22:39but filming allows me to mark something,
22:41and I felt that it was an important moment
22:43liberating for us,
22:45as a young woman,
22:47but at the same time painful,
22:49because I felt what was happening
22:51for my mother,
22:53and it was complicated,
22:55so I needed to mark the moment,
22:57I wanted to film her too,
22:59at a place where we were
23:01in excitement,
23:03and she was a little behind,
23:05and my camera is my way of saying
23:07I don't forget you,
23:09I don't forget you either.
23:11When we see the film,
23:13you are the last of this brotherhood,
23:15there are many of you,
23:17Moroccans living abroad,
23:19born abroad,
23:21who today ask themselves questions
23:23about identity,
23:25but in the end,
23:27when we see the film,
23:29we also feel
23:31that it is a film for your mother,
23:33your mother
23:35spoke,
23:37we didn't find the words
23:39to talk about her pain,
23:42what she felt
23:44as a young girl,
23:46now a mother,
23:48a great-grandmother,
23:50but we feel that there is still
23:52a lot of pain in your mother's heart.
23:54Was it as easy,
23:56it was certainly difficult
23:58for you to discover this
24:00in your mother?
24:02Yes, of course,
24:04that was the idea of the film,
24:06it was progressive,
24:08I think I first needed
24:10to do interviews with my sisters,
24:12and everything converged naturally
24:14towards my mother,
24:16which is the origin of all this.
24:18To be able to spend this time
24:20with her, to hear her story,
24:22to observe her,
24:24just to observe her,
24:26to film her,
24:28even with a cinematographer,
24:30it allows me to discover her
24:32in a different way,
24:34not only as a child,
24:36but also as a woman.
24:38I realize that my mother
24:40is an extremely brave woman,
24:42a generation of adventurers
24:44who crossed the Mediterranean
24:46to find a better life
24:48in Europe,
24:50and exile is always painful
24:52in many places,
24:54and the place that the film explores
24:56is what exile means
24:58when we have children
25:00to raise in a world
25:02that we don't know,
25:04that we don't understand,
25:06and how to let our children
25:08escape us.
25:10There is also a pain
25:12on both sides,
25:14on my mother's side
25:16and on the children's side.
25:18I wanted to create a space
25:20to talk about this,
25:22about this detachment.
25:24A detachment, in any case,
25:26that we feel a lot.
25:28Samila Mouzeribati,
25:30you were born in Belgium,
25:32you grew up there,
25:34you crossed Tangier,
25:36to go to the RIF.
25:38Was it important
25:40for you today
25:42to finally talk
25:44about this relationship
25:46you have with Belgium
25:48and with your home country,
25:50the country of your family?
25:52It's your country too.
25:54Of course.
25:56As children, we were lucky,
25:58and not everyone was,
26:00to be able to come every summer
26:03to the RIF, to Tangier,
26:05and to the RIF with our parents.
26:07It was only very late
26:09that I realized
26:11how lucky we were
26:13to be able to spend
26:15all these summers here
26:17and learn Derija,
26:19because we are Rifians.
26:21I could learn Derija
26:23in Tangier,
26:25which I would never have learned
26:27if we had stayed in Belgium all the time.
26:29It was a privilege
26:31to be called
26:33the children of Europe,
26:35that's how we were called
26:37in the village,
26:39and at the same time
26:41in Belgium we are the Moroccans.
26:43It's a classic.
26:45We have always been
26:47in this hybrid identity,
26:49and we are creating
26:51new identities.
26:53There is a whole generation
26:55from the Moroccan diaspora
26:57in Belgium and also in France
26:59One last question
27:01Your film was presented
27:03here in Marrakech
27:05Can you tell us
27:07how it will travel
27:09either in Morocco or maybe
27:11throughout Europe?
27:13Do you already have an idea
27:15of how this film will travel?
