00:00Good evening everyone, I am delighted to see you again in this new Carrefour d'Informations
00:22and now the headlines.
00:23Kyiv and Moscow agree to stop hostilities in the Black Sea, an announcement from Washington
00:31that is committed to helping Russia to export its agricultural and fertile products to the
00:36world markets.
00:37Israel continues its relentless bombardments on the Gaza Strip, more than 790 Gazawis have
00:47been killed since the Israeli bombardments were resumed a week ago.
00:52Match day for Morocco, the leader of their group, the Lions of the class, face this evening
01:00the Tanzania-Oujda, a match counting for the eliminations of the World Cup 2026.
01:05Good evening everyone, Russia and Ukraine agree to stop hostilities in the Black Sea,
01:17an announcement from Washington that is committed to helping Russia to export its agricultural
01:24and fertile products to the world markets.
01:28Russia and Ukraine agree to stop hostilities in the Black Sea, more than 790 Gazawis have
01:36been killed since the Israeli bombardments were resumed a week ago.
01:41Russia and Ukraine agree to stop hostilities in the Black Sea, more than 790 Gazawis have
01:49been killed since the Israeli bombardments were resumed a week ago.
01:54Russia and Ukraine agree to stop hostilities in the Black Sea, more than 790 Gazawis have
02:00been killed since the Israeli bombardments were resumed a week ago.
02:05Kiev has committed to implementing Washington's announcements, qualified in good measure by
02:10President Volodymyr Zelensky.
02:13We agree, there may be a maritime ceasefire and free navigation, but it is not indicated
02:20in the declaration what will happen if someone violates the agreements.
02:24And if someone violates them, we will appeal to the American party through all possible channels.
02:30Kiev has also confirmed the approval of the principle of a partial ceasefire with Moscow
02:36on the strikes on the 30-day energy installations.
02:40Russia and the United States will develop measures to allow the application of the
02:45energy ceasefire between the two sides.
02:48We are in favor of examining the means to cause no damage to the energy infrastructure.
02:56Moreover, this is not in our interests.
02:59And also to resume the initiative of the Black Sea in a more acceptable form for everyone.
03:04But we will need clear guarantees, given our experience of agreements with Kiev.
03:12And as a guarantee, Moscow requires an easing of restrictions on its agricultural exports.
03:18Russia is targeted by many sanctions that block its access to the world market.
03:23With its agreements on the Black Sea and energy installations,
03:27Russia will also be able to reduce maritime insurance costs and improve access to ports
03:32and payment systems for its transactions.
03:35The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that the agreements announced by Washington would only come into force
03:40after lifting its Western restrictions.
03:45It may have already happened to you to be added to a group of online conversations by mistake.
03:51It can happen.
03:52This is what happened to Jeffrey Glodberg, the editor-in-chief of the magazine The Atlantic.
03:58Except that the conversation is not one of the most trivial.
04:01He received the war plan of the Trump administration against the Hutis in Yemen,
04:06a security flaw that shakes the American political class.
04:10Dina Merini tells us more.
04:14It is an unprecedented security flaw.
04:16The Trump administration is under the fire of critics
04:19for accidentally disclosing to a journalist of the magazine The Atlantic
04:24sensitive information about the strikes carried out by the United States in Yemen against the Huti rebels.
04:30An unlikely security flaw that shakes the American political class.
04:35Asked on Monday about his revelations,
04:37the American president says he knows nothing about this affair.
04:43I don't know anything about it.
04:45I'm not a big fan of the magazine The Atlantic.
04:48I don't know anything about it.
04:51On March 11, Mike Walz, the U.S. National Council,
04:55created a group on the Signal application,
04:57thinking it was only about two high-ranking American officials.
05:01Two days later, the group specifies
05:04that it focuses on coordination of air strikes against the Hutis in Yemen.
05:09Within this group, 18 people,
05:11including Vice President James David Vince,
05:14Chief of Diplomacy Marco Rubio,
05:16CIA boss John Ratcliffe
05:19and journalist Jeffrey Goldberg,
05:22added by McGarth.
05:24I can't believe that the National Security Council of the President
05:28would be so careless as to include the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic.
05:33Especially since the magazine is often critical of Donald Trump.
05:37On March 15, two hours before the American attacks,
05:40the journalist claims to have received a detailed plan on the strikes,
05:44containing information on weapons, targets and schedules.
05:48On their part, the Democrats asked for an account.
06:05This is one of the most stunning military intelligence leaks
06:08I have read in a very long time.
06:10It is very serious that a simple citizen has been added to this chain,
06:14but it is even worse that sensitive military information
06:18has been exchanged on an unauthorized application,
06:21especially when this information is so sensitive and so important.
06:26This could seriously harm our army
06:29and could endanger the national security of America.
06:32This debacle requires a complete investigation
06:36This debacle requires a full investigation.
06:59It seems for the moment that the message chain
07:02of this article is authentic
07:05and we are trying to find out how a number has been added by mistake.
07:09This leak could challenge the strategy of the United States in the region
07:13and fuel geopolitical tensions.
07:16A disclosure that relaunches the debate on the transparency of military operations
07:21and the risks of war by procurement.
07:23In a context already volatile,
07:25each revelation can have the effect of a spark.
07:33In the rest of the international news,
07:35Israel, which continues its relentless bombardments on the Gaza Strip,
07:40more than 790 Gazawis have been killed
07:43since the resumption of Israeli bombings a week ago.
07:48Among them, a majority of children and women,
07:51but also journalists, medical personnel and humanitarian workers.
07:56Just in the last 24 hours,
07:5862 people have been killed by the Israeli army in Gaza.
08:02The macabre report has the number of Gazawis killed by Israel
08:06since the beginning of the war at 50,000.
08:10In Lebanon, a person was killed last night in an Israeli strike,
08:15still targeting the south of the country, despite calls for calm.
08:19Earlier last weekend, Israeli intensive strikes
08:23targeted this region.
08:25They killed at least eight.
08:27Israel claims to have carried out these strikes.
08:30They are equivalent to rocket shots
08:32aimed at the Israeli town of Metoda in the north,
08:35shots that have not been claimed by any party.
08:42The appeals to the moderation of the head of European diplomacy do nothing.
08:47They are even completely ignored by the Israeli army,
08:50which carried out a strike in the south of Syria this time.
08:54They are equivalent to terrorist shots.
08:57This incursion by ISIL in the province of Daraa
09:01has killed at least six.
09:03Since last December, Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes
09:07on military sites of the former power in Syria,
09:10claiming to want to prevent the military arsenal
09:13from falling into the hands of the new authorities
09:16it calls terrorists.
09:21Turkey
09:23In Turkey, mobilization continues in the streets
09:26despite the ban on demonstrations in the main cities
09:30and despite the multiple arrests.
09:33More than 1,400 people have been arrested
09:36since the beginning of the protest six days ago.
09:39A front triggered by the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Akrem Imamoglu,
09:44the main rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
09:47for the next presidential election in 2028.
09:55Place at the moment in the continent is Angola,
09:58which renounces its role as a mediator in the conflict in RDC.
10:03The announcement was made yesterday by Luanda,
10:06who justifies this decision by his wish to devote himself
10:09to his turning presidency of the African Union.
10:12This decision comes after the surprise meeting in Doha
10:17between the Rwandan and Congolese presidents,
10:20while direct negotiations, boycotted by the M23,
10:23had to be held at the same time under English mediation.
10:27At the end of a new virtual summit of regional leaders last night,
10:32a new team of facilitators was appointed to lead the negotiations.
10:36It is made up of five former African presidents,
10:41including a former Kenyan president, a former Nigerian president,
10:46South African, also a former African center president
10:52and then a former Ethiopian president.
10:58And to talk about the conflict in RDC and the withdrawal of Angola
11:03to reach an agreement of peace,
11:06we are live from Rabat with Mohamed Chkoundi,
11:09specialist in governance in Africa.
11:12Mr. Chkoundi, good evening and thank you for accepting our invitation.
11:17Good evening and thank you for your invitation.
11:21So first of all, to begin with,
11:23Angola justified its withdrawal by its wish to devote itself
11:27to the turning presidency of the African Union.
11:30But as we said, this decision came the day after
11:33a meeting between Chistekedi and Kagame in Doha.
11:37We can't help but make the connection, after all.
11:41Yes, of course, because the Angolan president
11:44was appointed in 2022 by the African Union
11:48to play a very important role in the mediation,
11:51directly, that is, to resolve the conflict
11:54that is taking place in North Kivu,
11:56in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
11:59And mainly because Angola was leading a process
12:03called the Luanda process,
12:05whose main objective was to establish a direct dialogue
12:09between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
12:12So we can say that the Angolan president, Lorenzo,
12:15made a lot of effort, he made a lot of effort
12:18to ensure that there is, to speak,
12:20that there is a signature of a peace agreement,
12:23first between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,
12:27because these are two parties directly involved in the conflict,
12:30despite the fact that Rwanda says
12:33that it is not involved in this conflict,
12:36and on the other hand also, to speak,
12:39between the M23 movement and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
12:43So we can say first, compared to Lorenzo,
12:46he has a feeling of not having failed,
12:49we will say it frankly, of having been betrayed.
12:52To have been betrayed because twice he tried,
12:55he was two-fingered, as we say,
12:57he was familiarly two-fingered,
12:59of the signing of a peace agreement.
13:01But in December 2024,
13:04only Rwanda cancelled,
13:07that is, President Kagame cancelled
13:10his visit to Rwanda,
13:13on the pretext that, because there was a peace agreement
13:16that was very important, a peace agreement
13:19that planned the neutralization of the FDLR movements,
13:22that is, which are the majority
13:25of the Hutu elements,
13:28and on the other hand, there was the progressive disengagement
13:31of the M23 movement, which is composed of the majority
13:34of the Hutu elements.
13:37So it was Kagame's non-movement
13:40that, on the pretext that this agreement
13:43did not contain a key point,
13:46namely that there must also be direct negotiations
13:49between the M23 and the RDC.
13:52So that's why this agreement, unfortunately, was not signed.
13:55It was a failure for the Angolan president.
13:58In second place, on March 18,
14:01it should have been, because it must be said that
14:04at one point the RDC was frozen
14:07in relation to its diplomatic line,
14:10saying that its principle, and it is there to defend
14:13its principle of sovereignty, and that its territorial sovereignty
14:16was violated by the elements of the M23
14:19that are supported by Rwanda.
14:22But at the same time,
14:25we see that the process of Rwanda
14:28had to have direct talks.
14:31That is, the RDC made concessions.
14:34There had to be direct negotiations.
14:37That's what the Rwandan also claimed,
14:40that's what the M23 claimed, that is, direct negotiations.
14:43Speaking of the continuation of the negotiations,
14:46Mr. Shundi, speaking now of the continuation of the negotiations
14:49and the withdrawal of Angola, a virtual summit was held yesterday,
14:52a summit of the East African Community
14:55and the Development Community of South Africa.
14:58A team of five former leaders, which I mentioned earlier,
15:01five African leaders, was appointed.
15:04Why this choice of an enlarged team to replace Angola?
15:07Already for the Angolan president,
15:10his withdrawal is explained mainly by the reasons
15:13that I have just underlined, and for another reason
15:16that is related to the complexification of the mediation process.
15:19From the moment there is a multiplication of mediators
15:22and above all that now the RDC has joined
15:25in 2022 to the East African Community.
15:28And so, we have been talking for a month
15:31about a fused process, because before
15:34there was, on the one hand, the Nairobi process,
15:37which had obtained important points, marked by the deployment
15:40of a regional force in the east of Congo
15:43and there was the Luanda process.
15:46So now, the SADC, given that the RDC
15:49belongs to two communities, the SADC
15:52and the EEC, they have fused the process.
15:55So now we are talking about a fused process
15:58associating both the SADC and the EEC.
16:01This is very important, because before the processes
16:04were shared, that is to say,
16:07the direction was not the same, but after
16:10the leaders of the two regional economic communities realized
16:13the importance of coordination, the two communities
16:16have merged the process. So now we can say that we are
16:19witnessing the emergence of a new process.
16:22And so, in this new process, it is planned
16:25that the distance meeting you were talking about earlier,
16:28it was planned to nominate new mediators,
16:31because Angola withdrew from mediation
16:34and so it was planned to nominate
16:38six mediators. First, they are representatives
16:41of this fused process, that is to say,
16:44of the two regional economic communities, namely the SADC and the EEC
16:47and the Economic Community of East Africa.
16:50And then there are other former presidents,
16:53like Basson Jo, like the former
16:56Ethiopian president, who are also called
16:59by their aura, by their ability
17:02to mediate, because when we talk about Basson Jo,
17:05he played an important role in mediation.
17:08So, perhaps, let's talk about the success of this
17:11mediation, knowing that at the same time,
17:14there are also other mediation processes
17:17that are being deployed at the international level.
17:20We talked earlier about the one between Greece,
17:23between Felix Tshisekidi and President Kagame Adhora.
17:26So it was a mediation operated by Qatar
17:29and so now, let's make sure
17:32that this mediation is also
17:35in harmony with this process
17:38of mediation so that there is no
17:41burst of mediation and finally
17:44that we achieve an impasse.
17:47On both sides, because the RDC...
17:52Mr. Skondi, can this new process
17:55effectively restart the
17:58negotiation process, while
18:01all previous negotiations have resulted in
18:04failures and who, in your opinion, could play
18:07a key role in resolving this crisis
18:10among its mediators?
18:13I believe that the two regional economic communities
18:16have operated, that is, they have opted for a good approach.
18:19The approach to merge the two processes because,
18:22as I have just said, the RDC belongs to the two
18:25regional economic communities and so these two regional
18:28economies had a different perception of this conflict.
18:31Let's be honest, from a historical
18:34point of view, from a geographical point of view,
18:37we have the impression that the RDC is much closer
18:40to East Africa, so the East African community
18:43than the Australian African community.
18:46So the fact that the process is merged is important.
18:49At the same time, it must be said that in parallel with this
18:52merged process and the appointment of new mediators
18:56who also have their place on the African scene,
18:59who have their aura on the African scene.
19:02So it can play a very important role.
19:05The third element is that there is a pressure on the international community
19:08and we see that even the force-to-force relationship at the beginning
19:11of the military was favorable to the F23, but with the diplomatic
19:14offensive because the Democratic Republic of Congo
19:17preferred to opt for an approach
19:20that consists of starting a diplomatic offensive
19:24by denouncing the violation of its national sovereignty.
19:27And so we see that this diplomatic process,
19:30this diplomatic offensive, begins to pay.
19:33So that is to say,
19:36based on the fact that the five people
19:39who have been designated by the two regional economic communities
19:42as well as the international community and others
19:45also paid who can have an influence
19:48by their cultural proximity, their institutional
19:52relationship with the country can play a very important role
19:55for this conflict to end as soon as possible.
19:58Especially since the RDC is predisposed to negotiate.
20:01Now, as it has shown during the meetings
20:04that were scheduled for March 18 in Rwanda,
20:07the RDC is predisposed to negotiate
20:10and negotiate with the elements of F23.
20:13A main claim at the same time.
20:16Mr. Chkondi, we are held up by time.
20:19Briefly, what are the real chances
20:22of the success of this mediation?
20:25I see that, yes,
20:28so already we have,
20:31that is to say, as I just said,
20:34there are two regional economic communities that can play a very important role.
20:37So already, that is to say, there is pressure.
20:40There is pressure that will be exerted on the two regional economic communities,
20:43on the Belgians, so that they can have a ceasefire
20:46and a signature of an agreement that can be historical and strategic.
20:49And so we also see that the profile,
20:52the profile of the people chosen is important.
20:55Because before, as well as I speak
20:58of Rwanda and the RDC,
21:01they refused some mediators,
21:04given the hostilities they had with such and such a person.
21:07So I see that the people who have been chosen,
21:10that is to say, are the object of some unanimity.
21:14And so I want to say that the Belgians
21:17will be much more willing
21:20to enter into negotiations,
21:23that is to say, to assist mediation.
21:26It is a hypothesis, to assist mediation that will be operated by these five personalities.
21:29And in addition to what I have just said, the pressure of the international community.
21:32That is to say, only the two regional economic communities
21:35cannot,
21:38despite the importance of the profile of the people chosen,
21:41reach an agreement to stop the fire.
21:44Because we have seen that since the SADC
21:47and the East African Economic Community,
21:50they have made a lot of effort so that Kagame and President Kagame
21:53and President Félix Tshisekedi can see each other directly.
21:56And they never succeeded.
21:59What was said was that Qatar initiated mediation.
22:02I remind you that you are a specialist in governance in Africa.
22:05Thank you for answering our questions tonight.
22:08In Senegal, the village of arts of Dakar
22:11has become a museum for lovers of culture
22:14but also of African history.
22:17The site includes 52 workshops
22:20where painters, sculptors, ceramics, photography and video,
22:23in short, all disciplines of visual arts are represented.
22:26I suggest you discover
22:29this cultural emblem of the country in this report
22:32by Eicha Sadiekaté and Moussandier.
22:35They transform everyday objects into a work of art
22:38where they tell the story of Senegal.
22:41For more than 50 years, the villages of arts of Senegal
22:44have housed artists who tell the story of Senegalese and African culture
22:47with techniques that are unique to them.
22:53There are certain techniques that we present in Mali
22:56or even here in Senegal.
22:59There is this engraving that you find in women
23:03who are newlyweds.
23:06Others have opted for recycling
23:09but they do not only recycle ordinary waste.
23:12Fruits are also used for unique and durable fabrics,
23:15works of art that pay homage to the Senegalese king.
23:18This is an electric powder.
23:21Here I combined it with metal
23:24to create a dialogue between metal and wood.
23:27This is also a piece of wood
23:31that I had collected.
23:34The head of my massages are car washers.
23:37For example, here we put water in the car.
23:40That's what I use as a head.
23:43I also use acrylics, industrial paints,
23:46but I also use a pigment
23:49that I get by mixing the pulp of a fruit with the sap of a baobab.
23:52This is what gives thickness and relief to my work.
23:55These boxes that you also see,
23:58in these boxes I narrate the story of the former kings of Senegal.
24:01You have the big box that represents
24:04Kochi Bar Mofal and Daou Demba in the court of Daou Demba Fal.
24:07The villages of the arts have become, over the years,
24:10linked to the lovers of art,
24:13even if the challenges of popularization remain to be raised.
24:16There are still passages,
24:19there are still Senegalese collectors,
24:22Senegalese art lovers who come to visit.
24:25There are also schools that bring their students,
24:28students who come, others who are simply
24:31students of the School of Fine Arts who come.
24:34It's a way of living its life.
24:37Let's not say that people are not interested
24:40in what we do,
24:43although we really lack an artistic education
24:46to interest the population of the arts more.
24:49It's a little shy, but still,
24:52we receive foreign Senegalese people in this space.
24:55This artistic village also houses
24:58a gallery that exhibits Senegalese and international works,
25:01a way of valuing Senegalese artistic openness
25:04towards Africa and the world.
25:09Match day.
25:12The Moroccan national team faces Tanzania tonight
25:15at the Oujda Honor Stadium in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers.
25:18During training yesterday, the national team
25:21coach Walid El Gragi took the opportunity
25:24to refine the last technical and tactical aspects
25:27of his group after the difficult victory
25:30against Niger 2-1 last Friday.
25:33As a reminder, Morocco is the leader of its team
25:36with four victories in our match times.
25:44We are coming to the end of this edition.
25:47Thank you for following it.
25:51See you next time.
