00:56We talk about it in an extra.
01:02And in this newspaper also.
01:03Germany opens today the 61st Munich Conference on Security.
01:08The Munich Conference on Security takes place in a geopolitical context,
01:14marked in particular by the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and the situation in the Middle East.
01:26We open this newspaper with the meeting of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union,
01:32which is held in Addis Ababa at the level of heads of state and government.
01:37Meeting dedicated to the examination of the situation in Sudan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

02:18pointing the finger at the moral failure of our time.
02:21He also expressed himself on the situation in RDC,

02:38the Kingdom will go back to their legal GMT from Sunday, February 23, 2025,
02:46at 3 a.m., delaying the time by 60 minutes.
02:51This is indicated by a statement from the Ministry of Digital Transition and Reform of the Administration.
02:59The return to their GMT plus 1 will be operated after the end of the blessed month of Ramadan,
03:06on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at 2 a.m.
03:14We are still in Morocco for the official launch this Friday in Rabat of the National Portal of Digital Services.
03:23This portal will allow to centralize, classify and facilitate the access of users
03:29to the different public services available online.
03:33The details in this report by Moula Boukhriz Kamal Rounaim.
03:37The story is by Alain Benelli.
03:40As part of the implementation of the axes of the Morocco Digital Strategy 2030,
03:45the work of the digital administration meeting began this Friday in the capital, Rabat.
03:51Several objectives and goals have been mentioned during the participants' interventions.
03:56Fluidify procedures, reduce delays, guarantee transparency, facilitate accessibility
04:02and improve the quality of administrative services.
04:08Moroccan citizens need these services and a digital administration.
04:12This is important because it will allow Moroccans to quickly recover the papers they need,
04:17without having to move.
04:19The digital services that we have planned are also intended for citizens with reduced mobility.
04:28This meeting was the opportunity to announce the official launch of the National Portal of Digital Services,
04:33IDARATI, an administrative document interface made available to citizens,
04:39who have access to some 600 services in a simple, transparent and secure way.
04:46This portal is a unified platform that simplifies access to administrative services for citizens.
04:54We have worked with all ministries and public institutions,
04:58respecting international standards.
05:01This platform has been launched and will be improved even more in the future,
05:06and other options will be added, in addition to the integration of artificial intelligence,
05:11for a better simplification of administrative procedures.
05:19Among the objectives of this novelty is to improve the ranking of Morocco
05:23on the development index of the IGOV,
05:25by moving to the first position in Africa,
05:27the kingdom being 11th currently and 50th place worldwide,
05:32instead of the 100th rank currently, by 2030.
05:37And to talk about the official launch of the National Portal of Digital Services in Morocco,
05:45we have the pleasure of being live from Casablanca with Mr. Mohamed Bin Boubker,
05:52Co-CEO of Arabat Holding.
05:55Good evening, Mohamed Bin Boubker, thank you for accepting our invitation.
06:02Yes, good evening.
06:05So, to start, first of all, how could the IDARATI platform
06:13contribute concretely to digitizing and modernizing public services?
06:22So, already, it is a great day to have equipped Morocco with a central portal
06:27that centralizes the totality of public services.
06:30So, this is a phase in the Morocco 2030 strategy,
06:35which converges public services and the dynamics of the private sector
06:39to the services of citizens.
06:41So, the idea of a platform is to simplify,
06:44with simplicity, less movement, more access to content,
06:49accessibility, as you said,
06:51and a lot of transparency to establish trust with citizens and public services.
06:57The platform is there to be a single point of contact,
07:02which we will develop over time,
07:04a reflex to come back and access this platform
07:08to find what we are looking for as a step,
07:10or there to initiate an operation in online services.
07:15So, this portal marks a starting point
07:20and will be followed by successive improvements
07:24to achieve a global coverage of available services.
07:29How to accelerate the implementation of the Morocco Digital Strategy 2030?
07:37So, the idea is how to federate everyone
07:40and that all initiatives converge towards a single chart,
07:44a single platform.
07:46We stabilize a way of doing things,
07:49on the side of user experience, on the side of data,
07:52on the side of interoperability of services,
07:55and how to arrive in a future push to massively integrate artificial intelligence
08:00to personalize use and adapt in a very fine way
08:04to the needs of each citizen,
08:06to his needs with public administration.
08:11Speaking of the security of personal data,
08:16how can we manage to secure,
08:19to protect the personal data of citizens?
08:25It's a long-term work.
08:28It's a strategy from the beginning
08:30until the drop in the market of products,
08:32with improvements.
08:34You have to be careful,
08:35you have to minimize data transmission,
08:38that is, you have to have interoperability of services
08:41to authenticate yourself only once,
08:42to have a single identifier
08:44and reduce as much as possible the data that is transmitted on the Internet.
08:48If we have a single identifier that is reliable,
08:50an authentication method,
08:52normally everything that happens between administrations
08:55must be transparent for the user.
08:59And that way, we don't transmit a lot of information
09:02and we don't collect a lot of information on the public service.
09:06To achieve this digital Morocco project
09:10and achieve all these objectives,
09:13should we think of a campaign
09:16to raise awareness
09:19in favor of citizens?
09:22What do you think?
09:24Exactly.
09:25Like any product that we launch on the market,
09:28we need a promotion strategy.
09:31It's not an ad hoc communication at first,
09:34but it's a continuous communication
09:36that will develop the reflexes
09:39and install this channel as a unique channel,
09:44a product that we will be surprised every time we come back
09:48and find new things, new services,
09:50a new way of doing things.
09:52And it's a product that has to live.
09:53It's not a project that we have to launch and stop.
09:57No, it's a product that has to take years
09:59to install it, to position it,
10:02and to develop a strong adhesion
10:05and reach the maximum number of users,
10:07public and private services on the platform.
10:11Mr. Mohamed Ben Boubker,
10:12thank you for all these details.
10:15Thank you for this insight.
10:17And I remind you that you are co-CEO of Aramet Holdings.
10:23Thank you very much.
10:25We now go to Germany
10:27with the 71st Munich Conference
10:30on the security of the 14th of February,
10:34which is taking place in a geopolitical context
10:37marked by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict
10:41and the situation in the Middle East.
10:44This conference brings together
10:47several heads of state,
10:49as well as diplomats and experts from various countries.
10:54At this conference,
10:56US Vice President J.D. Vance called on Europe
10:59to strengthen its defense capabilities
11:02to allow Washington to focus on the threats
11:06in the rest of the world.
11:14And also know that the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
11:19is present at this Munich conference on security,
11:24while the military situation on the front continues
11:27to deteriorate in the face of Russia.
11:30The Ukrainian President is expected to meet there,
11:33the US Vice President and Secretary of State
11:36to try to weigh in future discussions
11:39on a war settlement with Russia.
11:42However, can this meeting really weigh
11:45on the decisions of US President Donald Trump?
11:49Let's know his temperament.
11:51Mahmoud Hassan, political analyst
11:53and professor of private law at Casablanca,
11:55gives us his point of view.
11:58The initiative taken by the US President
12:01has given rise to both a concern
12:05and a distrust of European diplomatic circles
12:10and also of the Ukrainian President
12:16for several reasons.
12:19On the one hand,
12:22there is a question of the objectivity
12:29of President Trump
12:33in taking this initiative
12:35because of his close friendship
12:40with President Putin.
12:43On the other hand,
12:46we have the impression that
12:49President Trump would like to take
12:54an initiative in a bilateral framework
13:00between the United States and Russia,
13:07while the question concerns
13:15Europe directly.
13:20This is the war that Ukraine is suffering.
13:30But because of the security
13:33and stability of Europe,
13:36all these reasons and many others
13:40have aroused this distrust,
13:43this concern.
13:46Up to now,
13:49Ukraine has not been involved
13:56as the most concerned party
14:00in this conflict,
14:02which is a bilateral conflict
14:05between Russia as a state
14:08that is waging war on Ukraine.
14:12I would also like to point out
14:14that the US Vice President,
14:16J.D. Vance, called this Friday
14:18the Europeans to change course
14:20in the face of immigration
14:22the day after the attack on the car
14:24in Munich,
14:25of which the suspect is an Afghan
14:27asylum seeker.
14:28Quoting the example of this attack,
14:30the American official
14:31said,
14:32how many times before us
14:34have we suffered these terrible setbacks
14:36before changing course?
14:37No voter on this continent
14:39has gone to the polls
14:41to vote for a ban
14:43on millions of uncontrolled immigrants.
14:45Mass immigration is the most urgent problem
14:48that all countries are facing,
14:50he added.
14:55And we continue this newscast
14:57with this new element of investigation
14:59concerning the attack on the car
15:01in Munich.
15:02The presumed author would have acted
15:04for religious reasons,
15:06the authorities announced this Friday
15:08following a drama
15:10that polarizes the election campaign
15:12in Germany.
15:14The latest report of this drama
15:16took place in the middle of the street
15:18and 36 people were injured,
15:20two of whom were seriously injured.
15:22A child is one of them.
15:24The brutality of this act
15:26leaves us speechless.
15:28Let's go back
15:30to the head of the German state.
15:32The man who was arrested
15:34after driving a car
15:36on the side of a rally
15:38of the Verdi trade union
15:40in Munich
15:42was able to be heard.
15:48In the news also,
15:50Saudi Arabia has indicated
15:52that it is pleased
15:54to welcome a meeting
15:56between US and Russian presidents
15:58Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
16:00The kingdom congratulates
16:02the holding of this summit
16:04in Saudi Arabia
16:06The United States has agreed
16:08to reach a sustainable peace
16:10between Russia and Ukraine
16:12since the beginning of the crisis
16:14in Ukraine.
16:16This is what the Saudi Ministry
16:18of Foreign Affairs
16:20said in a statement.
16:22Donald Trump had announced
16:24on Wednesday that he would meet
16:26Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia
16:28shortly after a telephone exchange
16:30between the two leaders
16:32where they agreed to immediately
16:34The Kremlin said yesterday
16:36that Saudi Arabia
16:38was one of the places
16:40envisaged for the meeting
16:42but that no decision
16:44had yet been taken.
16:48Volodymyr Zelensky
16:50on his side
16:52said this Friday
16:54to be ready to meet
16:56his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin
16:58and only him
17:00if a plan is agreed
17:02between Kiev and its American
17:04and European allies.
17:06A statement made by the Ukrainian
17:08leader since the Munich
17:10Security Conference
17:12which is also pleased
17:14that Donald Trump gave him
17:16his personal telephone number
17:18during a conversation
17:20they had at the beginning of the week
17:22in full diplomatic effervescence
17:24around the war
17:26in Ukraine.
17:32A telephone interview
17:34between US President Donald Trump
17:36and Russian President Vladimir Putin
17:38continues on Wednesday.
17:40The EU wants to be part
17:42of the discussions
17:44about the end of the war in Ukraine.
17:46This call between the two heads
17:48of state could beat the cards
17:50after three years of war
17:52between Russia and Ukraine.
17:54Raja Ingo.
17:56The break
17:58between Washington and Moscow
18:00has not changed.
18:02Just three years ago,
18:04during the Russian invasion
18:06of Ukraine,
18:08the US and the EU
18:10spared no effort
18:12to isolate Moscow.
18:14Vladimir Putin,
18:16the master of the Kremlin,
18:18was even qualified
18:20by the former US President
18:22Joe Biden
18:24as a bloodthirsty dictator.
18:26But this telephone conversation
18:28has changed the course
18:30of US-Russian relations
18:32and has surprised more than one.
18:34I was struck by the fact
18:36that the whole world
18:38fell into a kind of amazement
18:40and considers the telephone conversation
18:42that took place as something exceptional.
18:44This is exactly how we should
18:46communicate with Russia.
18:48It is probably for this reason
18:50that many in the West,
18:52starting with the leaders
18:54of the European Union,
18:56including the Ukrainian President
18:58Vladimir Zelensky,
19:00who also expressed his desire
19:02for peace to the US President
19:04when he participated
19:06in the talks.
19:08It is important
19:10that everything does not happen
19:12according to Putin's plan,
19:14in which he wants to ensure
19:16that these negotiations
19:18are bilateral between him
19:20and the United States.
19:22As a sovereign country,
19:24we would be removing their euro.
19:26But the Kremlin assured Thursday
19:28that Ukraine would participate
19:30in one way or another
19:32in its future talks on peace.
19:34European countries, however,
19:36were very skeptical.
19:38Put aside during discussions
19:40between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin
19:42about Ukraine,
19:44Europeans warned Thursday
19:46that any peace agreement negotiated
19:48without them and Kiev
19:50would be doomed to failure.
19:52Nothing can be decided
19:54about Ukraine without Ukraine
19:56and nothing can be decided
19:58without Europe,
20:00because Russian aggression
20:02against Ukraine clearly affects
20:04European security.
20:06For Antonio Costa,
20:08the President of the European Council,
20:10peace in Ukraine must be
20:12more than a simple ceasefire.
20:14In this tense context,
20:16the Kremlin stated
20:18that there was no decision
20:20about Ukraine and that
20:22it could take months.
20:50The only plan is
20:52Trump's plan,
20:54said Marco Rubio,
20:56who added that if countries
20:58have a better plan,
21:00it is time to present it.
21:02And precisely,
21:04Riyadh must host
21:06on February 20
21:08a summit of five Arab countries
21:10to develop a common response
21:12to Donald Trump's plan for Gaza.
21:14This is what a Saudi source
21:16announced this Friday.
21:18The leaders of Saudi Arabia,
21:20Egypt, the United Arab Emirates,
21:22Qatar and Jordan
21:24as well as the Palestinian Authority
21:26must thoroughly examine
21:28Trump's plan
21:30and develop
21:32an Arab response,
21:34said this source.
21:36The meeting in Riyadh will highlight
21:38the rejection of a move by the Gazans
21:40and their transfer out of this territory,
21:42according to the same source.
21:48The fragile Gaza Strip
21:50could still resist
21:52the disagreement between Israel
21:54and Hamas.
21:56After days of uncertainty,
21:58the Palestinian movement
22:00is ready to respect
22:02the ceasefire calendar,
22:04which suggests a new exchange
22:06of hostages against
22:08Palestinian prisoners.
22:10The brigades of the Hamas
22:12have confirmed
22:14this Friday
22:16that only three Israeli hostages
22:18in total
22:20will be released tomorrow.
22:24This Friday,
22:26February 14,
22:28Lebanon commemorates the assassination
22:3020 years ago of former Prime Minister
22:32Rafiq al-Hariri
22:34in a new internal
22:36and regional configuration
22:38that opens the way
22:40to a probable return of his son
22:42in politics.
22:44Between 1992
22:46and 2004, Rafiq al-Hariri
22:48was killed in Beirut
22:50in 2005
22:52in a suicide attack
22:54with a truck. In 2022,
22:56the United Nations Special Tribunal
22:58for Lebanon sentenced
23:00two Hezbollah members
23:02to prison
23:04for this attack
23:06at the end of a long
23:08trial.
23:10And then
23:12in Libya, the bodies
23:14of 28 migrants
23:16from sub-Saharan Africa
23:18were found
23:20in a commune near
23:22an illegal detention center
23:24in the Koufra region
23:26in the extreme south-east
23:28of the country, as indicated
23:30by the Office of the Attorney General
23:32on Sunday. The bodies
23:34were found after an operation
23:36by security forces
23:38held by a network
23:40of human traffickers.
23:42More details with
23:44Dina Brini.
23:46Macabre
23:48discoveries in Libya. In the region
23:50of Koufra in the extreme south-east
23:52of the country, 28 bodies
23:54of sub-Saharan migrants were found
23:56buried near an illegal
23:58detention center. According
24:00to the Office of the Libyan Attorney General,
24:02this is a collective murder
24:04committed by a gang of human traffickers
24:06who tortured migrants.
24:08The gang operated in a detention
24:10camp under the control
24:12of the forces of Marshal Haftar.
24:22Here, in this place located
24:24northeast of the city of Koufra,
24:26in the heart of the Arabian desert, is the site
24:28where the bodies of sub-Saharan migrants
24:30were found, as well as tombs.
24:32There are about
24:3455 tombs in this cemetery.
24:36Today, we are on site
24:38with a specialized team
24:40of emergency medical services
24:42and a team of criminal investigations
24:44to recover these bodies, examine
24:46them and bury them again
24:48according to the practices of Islam.
24:52Here, all kinds of torture
24:54and degrading and inhuman acts
24:56have been practiced.
24:59According to the International
25:01Organization for Migration,
25:03the bodies found were
25:05injured by bullets. Let us remember
25:07that last January, the Office of the
25:09Libyan Attorney General ordered
25:11the incarceration of three members
25:13of a criminal gang accused of
25:15torture against more than
25:17260 sub-Saharan migrants
25:19in an irregular situation.
25:21Since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi
25:23in 2011, Libya has become
25:25a transit point for migrants
25:27fleeing conflicts or poverty
25:29to reach Europe by taking
25:31dangerous routes.
25:35This is the end of this edition.
