00:00We are still together on Mediain TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are the titles of your newspaper.
00:13Morocco is reassured and seduced on the other side of the Mediterranean for the head of Spanish diplomacy.
00:19Morocco and Spain have established, during the last three years, the best climate of cooperation ever reached in the history of their bilateral relations.
00:30Morocco, which presides during this month the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union,
00:36multiplies the beautiful initiatives by leading, since Saturday, in Tanzania, the works of a program of initiation and orientation for the new members of the CPS.
00:50The Sudanese army has taken over today the airport of Khartoum to the paramilitary of the rapid support forces.
00:56These troops have also encircled the strategic area of Djebel Aoulia, the last large bastion of the FSR in the Khartoum region.
01:11Morocco is reassured and seduced on the other side of the Mediterranean, where Spain congratulates itself on having a neighbor like the Kingdom.
01:19The head of Spanish diplomacy reminded it yesterday.
01:22For José Manuel Alvarez, Morocco and Spain have established, during the last three years, the best climate of cooperation ever reached in the history of their bilateral relations.
01:33A cooperation boosted by the joint declaration adopted in April 2022 at the end of the interviews between His Majesty the King Mohammed VI and the head of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez.
01:45He noted that trade with Morocco has reached a historical level of 25 billion euros, thus confirming the solidity and complementarity of economic and commercial relations between the two kingdoms.
02:02Still for the head of Spanish diplomacy, the issue of irregular migration would be unmanageable without the support and commitment of Morocco.
02:13A selective political manipulation of Algeria.
02:16This was denounced yesterday by the permanent representative of Morocco to the United Nations.
02:22In front of the Security Council, Majda Moutchou was offended by the attitude of the Algerian ambassador to the UN on the widening of the mandate of the UNHCR to the component of human rights,
02:35described as two-fold, two flagrant and selective measures by Majda Moutchou, whom we are listening to.
02:42A delegation, the only delegation among all those who have spoken here, the component of human rights, tried to establish a link with the UNHCR.
02:52We too were surprised, very surprised by this intervention because it is an extraordinary example of selective manipulation.
03:02This delegation has just discovered a new passion for international law and human rights.
03:08I would like to remind him of some realities that are either deliberately ignored or forgotten.
03:17Regarding the mandate of the UNHCR, it is quite clear.
03:21It was created by the Security Council to supervise the ceasefire.
03:25It was clearly defined by the Security Council.
03:28Any attempt by this delegation to distort the presentation of its role led us to error, contrary to what was suggested.
03:37This peace operation of the UNHCR does not have a mandate for human rights.
03:44We also ask the question, why do these delegations, in a flagrant demonstration of the weight of the measures,
03:51focus only on the UNHCR and completely ignore the other peace operations?
03:55Allow me to add that the Security Council assigns its mandates on the basis of particular situations on the ground.
04:02This is neither a systematic rule nor an exception.
04:05It is a decision taken case by case.
04:07In addition, despite the constant and desperate attempts of this same delegation last October,
04:14the Security Council rejected the inclusion of mechanisms for the survival of human rights in the mandate of the UNHCR.
04:20This rejection was not an accident.
04:22It reaffirmed that the situation of human rights in the Moroccan Sahara does not require such a mechanism.
04:28This is a clear message.
04:29The Security Council understands that this is a politicized maneuver of certain parties.
04:35Second, given that this delegation seems to be very concerned about human rights,
04:39I would like to help them focus their attention on a much more pressing issue,
04:44the case of Tindouf, where the population lives under the daily oppression of these human rights
04:51and suffers from serious restrictions on the right to travel in violation of international law.
04:55Morocco has constantly demonstrated its commitment to the promotion of human rights
05:01and the defense of fundamental rights and the freedom of all individuals.
05:04Moreover, Morocco has constantly worked with the Special Procedure of the Council of Human Rights.
05:10We have hosted several visits of UN experts.
05:13We have cooperated in order to promote transparency, dialogue and progress.
05:16Morocco's efforts to promote human rights are not just words,
05:20but concrete actions aimed at ensuring the well-being and dignity of every citizen.
05:26Morocco, as you know, presides during this month
05:28the Security Council of the African Union and the Kingdom,
05:31multiplying the beautiful initiatives,
05:33leading since Saturday in Tanzania the work of a program of initiation and orientation
05:39intended for the new members of the Council.
05:42This meeting, chaired by the permanent representative ambassador of Morocco
05:46to the UN and the UN Security Council, Mohamed Darouchi,
05:49aims to offer the new elected representatives a deep understanding
05:54of their future roles and responsibilities within the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union.
06:00The discussions, which will continue until Friday,
06:03focus on the African architecture of peace and security,
06:07African governance, as well as the roadmap of the IAEA
06:11for the resolution of the conflicts on the horizon in 2030.
06:16Last week, still as part of his presidency of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union,
06:25Morocco convened an informal meeting with these countries
06:30in which a transition is underway,
06:33a step saluted by Burkina Faso, Gabon and Nigeria
06:37in letters addressed to the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Dina Amrini.
06:41Several African countries have expressed their support for the Moroccan initiative
06:45aimed at reintegrating the states suspended by the African Union
06:49following the changes that took place in their governments.
06:52In a letter addressed to the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nassar Borreta,
06:57the head of Burkina Faso diplomacy
06:59made a clear recognition of the crucial role
07:02played by the Moroccan Presidency of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union.
07:07Gabon and Nigeria also join this recognition
07:11by saluting this new leadership headed by the CPS
07:15and especially the Kingdom,
07:17based on the promotion of constructive and enlightened dialogue
07:21through mutual realism and listening.
07:23Thus, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria
07:26addressed a letter to his Moroccan counterpart
07:29where he salutes the noble initiative of Morocco
07:33concerning the informal consultation
07:35organized on March 18, 2025
07:38with the countries of the Confederation of States of the Sahel
07:41and those in political transition in Africa.
07:44A similar interest is felt in Libreville.
07:47In a letter addressed to Nassar Borreta,
07:50the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Gabon
07:53saluted the meeting of March 18th
07:56within the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union
08:00He underlined that this initiative
08:02demonstrates the finesse and dynamism of Moroccan diplomacy
08:06while confirming Morocco's place
08:08on the African political chessboard and even beyond.
08:12Six countries are concerned by the Moroccan initiative
08:15namely Burkina Faso,
08:17Gabon,
08:18Guinea,
08:19Mali,
08:20Nigeria and Sudan.
08:22These states have not participated in the vote
08:24for the new members of the Commission of the African Union
08:27during the 38th summit
08:29which took place in Addis Ababa in mid-February.
08:32In this sense,
08:33Morocco is thus an essential player
08:36in strengthening cooperation
08:38and consolidating stability in Africa.
08:43Still no response to Gaza
08:45where the Israeli army continues its offensive.
08:47Faced with the intensification of these strikes,
08:50Hamas claims that the Israeli hostages
08:52it holds in Gaza
08:55could be killed
08:57if Israel tried to free them by force
09:00and if the strikes on the Palestinian territory
09:02continued.
09:04Since the resumption of the military operations in Tzhal,
09:07830 people have been killed in Gaza
09:09which leads to more than 50,000
09:11the number of people killed by Israel
09:14since the beginning of the war.
09:2024 dead,
09:21more than 17,000 hectares of land
09:23have been burnt.
09:25South Korea is facing violent fires,
09:28the worst in the history of the country
09:30which have caused unprecedented damage
09:33and exceeded all forecasts.
09:35Thousands of firefighters have been fighting
09:37since Saturday
09:38against more than ten fires
09:40in the southeast of the country.
09:42The interim president,
09:43Anne de Kusso,
09:44has raised today the alert level
09:46to its maximum
09:48and announced a total national response.
09:54I will announce it in the headlines.
09:56The Sudanese army has taken over
09:58the Khartoum airport today
09:59to the paramilitary of the Rapid Support Forces.
10:01These troops have also encircled
10:03the strategic area of Jebel Aouliya,
10:06the last major bastion of the FSR
10:08in the Khartoum region.
10:10From the north, south and east,
10:12the army, in war against the FSR
10:14since April 2023,
10:16has launched a cleaning operation
10:18aimed at chasing the paramilitary
10:20of the capital
10:22after taking over the presidential palace.
10:24On Friday, after two years,
10:26the war killed tens of thousands of people,
10:29uprooted more than 12 million
10:31and created a major humanitarian crisis
10:33in the country.
10:37To know a little more
10:38about the objectives of the war
10:39of the Sudanese army in Khartoum,
10:41let's listen to Karine Orio,
10:43editorial journalist.
10:45First of all, what you need to know
10:47is that it is a victory for the Sudanese army
10:49which seeks to regain total control
10:51of Khartoum
10:53by eliminating the RSF
10:55which are already occupying
10:57strategic positions in the capital.
10:59The Sudanese army
11:01also aims to secure
11:03vital infrastructures
11:05and to prevent the expansion
11:07of the influence of the RSF
11:09in other regions of the country.
11:11If you remember, like me,
11:13last month, the RSF announced
11:15that they had established
11:17a parallel government.
11:19So it's a great victory for the Sudanese army today.
11:21Now, we are in Iraq,
11:23where the city of Basra,
11:25Omega Ftour, was organized
11:27by humanitarian associations
11:29for the benefit of orphans.
11:31The objective is to offer them
11:33a warm environment
11:35in this sacred month of Ramadan.
11:41Here in Basra, Iraq,
11:43nearly 900 children
11:45of the largest collective iftar
11:47is held in the center of the city.
11:49Initiated by the Asafa Association
11:51and the Najis Association,
11:53this event aims to offer
11:55a moment of conviviality and sharing
11:57and to create a warm and benevolent environment
11:59for these children,
12:01mostly orphans.
12:07We organized this collective iftar
12:09which brings together nearly 900 children
12:11of different ages to offer them
12:13a warm and benevolent environment.
12:15This table of several meters
12:17brings together children,
12:19mostly orphans,
12:21whose parents died
12:23in Daesh attacks.
12:27These non-profit associations
12:29give themselves the mission
12:31to financially and morally support
12:33orphans by making these religious
12:35occasions a moment of sharing
12:37and solidarity.
12:39We are a civil society organization
12:41in Basra province
12:43and in Iraq.
12:45Several humanitarian and charitable
12:47associations have multiplied
12:49in Basra province and in all of Iraq
12:51since 2014.
12:53They have become more active
12:55due to many events and attacks
12:57of Daesh in the country
12:59which has caused several deaths
13:01and hundreds of orphans.
13:03Due to the lack of support
13:05from the government,
13:07these associations provide services
13:09to meet the needs of orphans.
13:19The objective of this initiative
13:21is to promote the culture of solidarity
13:23and mutual assistance,
13:25contribute to bring joy
13:27and warm the hearts of these orphans.
13:29In this newspaper,
13:31they did it after a successful
13:33campaign against Niger.
13:35They won 5-0
13:37by coming from
13:39Tanzania yesterday.
13:41It was at the Stade d'Honneur
13:43in Oujda.
13:45Three new points
13:47bring Morocco closer
13:49to the World Cup 2026.
13:51It was necessary to wait
13:53for the return of the changing rooms
13:55so that the situation unlocks.
13:57Naif Agherde, well placed
13:59on a second ball after a corner,
14:01opened the score 6 minutes
14:03and converted it into a penalty
14:05scored by Nasser El Mazraoui
14:07to make the break
14:09and end the match
14:11at the Lyon de l'Atlas
14:13which will be back in June
14:15for two friendly matches
14:17against Tunisia and Benin.
14:21Now it's time
14:23to invite him
14:25from the big newspaper
14:27La Mise Journée
14:29to talk about Morocco's
14:31relations with Spain.
14:33We are live from Casablanca
14:35with Ouda Benrazi,
14:37Vice-President of the Spanish-Moroccan
14:39Court of Arbitration.
14:41Hello and thank you for accepting
14:43our invitation.
14:47The joint statement of 2022
14:49quoted by the head
14:51of Spanish diplomacy
14:53yesterday and described
14:55how the relations
14:57between Morocco and Spain
14:59have improved
15:01significantly
15:03in terms of cooperation
15:05between the two countries.
15:07Well,
15:09I won't hide from you
15:11that the last political crisis
15:13between Spain and Morocco
15:15was a turning point
15:17in our relationship.
15:19It allowed us to assess
15:21what worked between us
15:23and what didn't
15:25and understand the importance
15:27of this turning point.
15:29We were able
15:31to build
15:33stronger relations,
15:35both diplomatically
15:37and economically.
15:39Spanish companies
15:41were much more comfortable
15:43in their relations with us
15:45by approaching
15:47Morocco,
15:49and the same for
15:51Moroccan companies.
15:53This beautiful dynamic
15:55of relations between Spain and Morocco
15:57will have
15:59a beautiful trend in the future as well.
16:01You just
16:03spoke about companies.
16:05We will also take the opportunity to
16:07raise the question of
16:09commercial exchanges between Morocco and Spain,
16:11which have reached a historical level
16:13of 25 billion euros.
16:15How do you explain this,
16:17let's say, economic complementarity
16:19between the two countries, and what opportunities
16:21does this open
16:23to the future?
16:25It is true
16:27that today 25 million
16:29is an extraordinary number,
16:31but the trend of evolution
16:33in relations between Spain and Morocco
16:35has been there
16:37for ten years.
16:39Spain has been our first commercial partner
16:41for ten years already,
16:43and our forecast is to multiply
16:45these exchanges
16:47by two or three.
16:49The exchanges
16:51between Spain and Morocco
16:53are stable,
16:55with a constant evolution.
16:57The exchanges between Morocco and Spain,
16:59as Alvarez said
17:01yesterday,
17:03are marked by complementarity.
17:05We, Spain and Morocco,
17:07have managed to build
17:09a value chain
17:11after COVID,
17:13one of the most competitive
17:15value chains in the region.
17:17We build cars together,
17:19we build planes together,
17:21the added value
17:23in our exchanges
17:25is very present,
17:27and the diplomatic
17:29rapprochement between our two
17:31countries and politics has helped
17:33and facilitated this work.
17:35Let's not forget that
17:37after COVID, being close
17:39to Europe was a very,
17:41very important element
17:43to improve relations
17:45and boost them.
17:47It must also be said that
17:49international standards have changed
17:51and have allowed
17:55the fact that we are
17:57close,
17:59the carbon footprint has decreased
18:01by making exchanges with Morocco.
18:03Let's not forget
18:05the evolution of our country,
18:07the infrastructures,
18:09the ports, the airports,
18:11all of this has helped a lot.
18:13Oudah Ben Razie,
18:15with more than 660 Spanish
18:17companies implanted in Morocco today,
18:19what are the conditions,
18:21you mentioned a few,
18:23the conditions
18:25that make the kingdom attractive
18:27for foreign investors
18:29and how does this also impact
18:31bilateral relations?
18:35We said that
18:37trade is very
18:39important between Spain and Morocco.
18:41They are stable
18:43with a very,
18:45very encouraging
18:47evolution.
18:49Yes, it is true that there are
18:51600 Spanish companies in Morocco,
18:53but unfortunately
18:55this does not reflect
18:57that there is really interest
18:59for investment in Morocco.
19:01Our country is a very attractive country,
19:03it is true, but Spanish investment
19:05in Morocco is very,
19:07we can say,
19:09reduced, we can say
19:11weak, we can say restricted.
19:15In reality,
19:17we should work
19:19even more. Morocco is a country
19:21that is very attractive, it is close to
19:23Spain and Europe.
19:25It is a country where we have invested
19:27a lot in the infrastructures,
19:29in the ports, the airports,
19:31in the training
19:33of our people.
19:35It is a country that receives
19:37important investment from other countries,
19:39but not
19:41really from Spain.
19:43It is an element that is important
19:45to analyze. I am sorry
19:47to say that
19:49this is the case
19:51and that it is a subject that we,
19:53experts in relations between Spain and Morocco,
19:55try to analyze
19:57and find solutions.
19:59The last time the Spanish
20:01Secretary of State was in Morocco
20:03a few weeks ago, we noticed
20:05that all the investors who came
20:07were interested in finding a partner
20:09in Morocco.
20:11This means that there is still
20:13ignorance of the procedures
20:15in Morocco, the regulations
20:17in Morocco, even if they find
20:19that our country is an important country
20:21and ready to receive investments.
20:23Morocco is an attractive country,
20:25you said it.
20:27Today, Oudah Ben Razie,
20:29the organization, we will say,
20:31of the World Cup 2030
20:33between Morocco, Spain and Portugal
20:35is often cited as
20:37a historical opportunity to strengthen
20:39the links between these countries.
20:41How could this event influence
20:43not only sporting relations,
20:45but also diplomatic and economic?
20:49It is true
20:51that today between Spain and Morocco
20:53it is as if all the stars
20:55are aligned.
20:57We get along well and
20:59we are ready, Morocco is ready
21:01to receive its investments
21:03and to receive the World Cup.
21:05But on top of that,
21:09we programmed
21:11this World Cup together.
21:13Spain is very important
21:15for us.
21:17It's not just
21:19that we're going to do it together,
21:21but we're going to do it with a country
21:23that has a lot of experience organizing
21:25sporting events,
21:27World Cups
21:29and other sporting events
21:31of great interest.
21:33Today, I think it's really
21:35the spark
21:37that will allow these
21:39Spanish investors who were hesitant
21:41to come and invest in Morocco,
21:43they will be able to do it.
21:45We need their
21:47expertise
21:51to boost our infrastructures,
21:53including training,
21:55sanitary management, hotel management,
21:57we need their experience
21:59and we are ready
22:01to receive them.
22:03I think
22:05there will be
22:07a before and after.
22:09There will also be
22:11a meeting of the given
22:13and the received.
22:17Spain gives,
22:19Morocco receives,
22:21just like the opposite.
22:23It will be a meeting
22:25of the given and the received.
22:27It's clear,
22:29but today we're talking about
22:31investment in Morocco,
22:33not in Spain.
22:35They have
22:37the expertise we need
22:39and we have the opportunity
22:41to respond to these
22:43possible investments.
22:45I'm talking about investment
22:47in Morocco. If we talk, for example,
22:49about all the possible investments
22:51between Spain and Morocco in Africa,
22:53there are extraordinary
22:55opportunities
22:57thanks to the great expertise
22:59that Morocco has in these countries.
23:01The complementarity
23:03between needs and expertise
23:05could be very interesting.
23:07There is also a great opportunity
23:09for investment between Morocco
23:11and Spain.
23:15In the last ten years,
23:17we have seen
23:19several important investors,
23:21the OECD,
23:23who are interested in investing in Spain
23:25given their expertise,
23:27their expertise,
23:29and their ability to
23:31benefit from the opportunities
23:33that Spain offers.
23:35Oda Benrazi,
23:37the head of Spanish diplomacy,
23:39highlighted yesterday
23:41the crucial role played by Morocco
23:43in managing migratory flows.
23:45How do you evaluate
23:47this cooperation and what are
23:49the implications for the EU
23:51and regional stability?
23:55Excuse me, can you repeat your question?
23:57The head of Spanish diplomacy
23:59highlighted yesterday
24:01the crucial role played by Morocco
24:03in managing migratory flows.
24:05How do you evaluate
24:07this cooperation
24:09and what are the implications
24:11for the EU
24:13and regional stability?
24:15How do you evaluate
24:17this cooperation
24:19and what are the implications
24:21for the EU
24:23and regional stability?
24:25It is true that this is not a subject
24:27that I am an expert on,
24:29but the head of Spanish diplomacy
24:31in all his interventions
24:33speaks of the excellence
24:35of cooperation in this area
24:37and everything that Morocco
24:39offers for Spain
24:41and Africa
24:43and we recognize
24:45this Moroccan cooperation
24:47and it is very important
24:49for the stability of Europe
24:51and Spain and our region
24:53that it continues,
24:55that we find solutions
24:57together and that
24:59there is no other way
25:01of doing things
25:03by cooperating together
25:05to enable the stability
25:07of our region.
25:09Cooperation again,
25:11you said it.
25:13Today, in a context of
25:15growing international rivalry,
25:17how do you situate
25:19this privileged relationship
25:21between Morocco and Spain
25:23in the broader framework
25:25of strategic alliances
25:27in Africa and Europe?
25:29Morocco and Spain
25:31can really be the platform
25:33of this
25:35wealth
25:37that could be
25:39shared with Africa.
25:41We have learned to work together,
25:43we have learned to overcome
25:45difficulties together
25:47and
25:49also Morocco has
25:51a very special position
25:53in Africa, we have learned
25:55to work in Africa, we have our
25:57contacts in Africa, we have our
25:59success stories in Africa
26:01and all this is important
26:03elements that make
26:05this opportunity
26:07that Africa offers
26:09and our region,
26:11we could lead it.
26:13Spain and
26:15Morocco, not long ago

26:19of the region
26:23of the Canary Islands

26:27on the importance of this collaboration
26:29between the Canary Islands
26:31and Morocco for Africa.
26:33I believe that Africa
26:35is a very beautiful
26:37opportunity
26:39for our investments
26:41to work together.
