05:42 When you invest, you are rewarded. You go to every big city in Morocco and you will find great stadiums.
05:51 In Tangier, Rabat, Marrakech, Agadir. And also, without forgetting that there is a sports policy behind it.
05:58 You will also see during the African Cup qualifiers, that many African countries dispute their games in Morocco.
06:06 In several cities, because of the lack of qualified stadiums, whereas there are qualified stadiums everywhere in Morocco.
06:12 The enlightened vision of King Mohammed VI is to be saluted.
06:16 And the policy of the President of the Moroccan Royal Federation of Football, Fouze Edegja, is also to be saluted.
06:22 It is today, all these results that we are looking at, to see both in the women's team and in the boys' team.
06:29 And also in the Moroccan clubs, which are everywhere in the African competitions, be it the Vidalé Casablanca, the Raja, the Renaissance of Berkan or the Swiss of Rabat.
06:37 I think that overall, Moroccan football, Moroccan sport is doing wonderfully.
06:43 And the journey, the adventure of the Moroccan women's football team in Australia is a beautiful illustration.
06:53 I think that in the future, we will also see very beautiful things, both in terms of organization and hosting high-level sporting events in Morocco.
07:01 Be it the Cannes 2025 and the World Cup 2030 with Spain and Portugal.
07:06 All this proves, to a great extent, that King Mohammed VI, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, leads a quality sports policy with men who support this royal vision.
07:17 Thank you, Cécile Cissoro. I remind you that you are a sports journalist and we were with you in the Paris duplex.
07:23 And despite this result, the Atlas Lions have won Morocco, of course, just wrote a new page in its history,
07:30 thus creating a school with a real football identity.
07:34 It is the fruit of the royal vision and the strategy of King Mohammed VI, a vision that invested very early in football and its infrastructures in the country.
07:43 Let's listen to this excerpt from the invitation of the editor-in-chief, Aziz Darula, the technical director of the African Confederation of Athletics.
07:50 What is happening today is that we have a federation that is performing, that is doing an extraordinary job.
07:56 And the whole world knows that, the whole world has testified to it, has testified to a certain recognition because it has metamorphosed national football.
08:04 But besides that, there are still practices that are not normal and that we should fight with all our might
08:10 and eliminate as soon as possible.
08:13 Because you know, all the results that we are harvesting are the fruit of the cap traced by His Majesty in 2008.
08:22 In his famous letter that he had addressed to the sports assistants, already in 2008.
08:27 His Majesty then moved himself to inaugurate an institution that turned out to be extremely important
08:34 because he had this vision, perhaps others did not, that it was the cap.
08:40 He had inaugurated the Mohammed VI Academy of Football himself.
08:47 The federation subsequently implemented this whole strategy, this whole royal vision, and today we are harvesting the results.
08:55 But it would be necessary for all the components, including the clubs, including certain associations, certain leaders, certain coaches,
09:01 to understand that the time of amusement is over, that today sports is a field that Morocco seeks to develop,
09:11 like all other fields, cultural, industrial, economic, social, etc.
09:16 Morocco is a huge construction site and sports is one of the construction sites undertaken by His Majesty.
09:22 And we all have to join this logic and follow this cap.
09:27 Let's go to New York, where Morocco called on the United Nations Security Council to adopt sanctions against those responsible for humanitarian deviations.
09:38 This call was launched by the permanent representative of Morocco to the UN, Omar Khadiri,
09:43 during a public debate on the famine and food insecurity caused by the conflicts.
09:50 In the debate, presided over by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the United States assumed the presidency of the Security Council.
09:58 For the month of August, the diplomat recalled that in this context, five years ago, the Security Council had adopted unanimously
10:05 Resolution 2417, which highlighted the link between armed conflicts and violence on the one hand,
10:11 and the food insecurity induced by the conflicts and the threat of famine on the other.
10:17 The situation in Niger is still at the center of the concerns of the leaders of the economic community of the states of West Africa.
10:26 They met this Thursday in Abuja for an extraordinary summit on Niger.
10:32 This is what the West African organization announced on Monday, the day after the expiration of its ultimatum demanding the resumption of the Nigerian president.
10:40 The leaders of the organization will look at the political situation and recent developments in Niger.
10:47 The head of US diplomacy, Victoria Noland, said on Monday that she met with the authors of the coup in Niger
10:56 for difficult discussions that did not allow her to find a negotiated solution.
11:01 On her side, the head of Malian diplomacy estimates that a military intervention in Niger by the CDAO to establish the power of President Mohamed Basoum
11:12 could be a catastrophe. The Malian Foreign Minister and the International Cooperation expressed themselves in the presence of his counterpart,
11:19 Burkinabe Olivia Rwamba, during a meeting aimed at deepening bilateral relations between the two countries.
11:26 "We, Burkina and Mali, oppose any interference or foreign military intervention to address internal political problems," said Abdullahi Diop.
11:38 So, what are the probabilities of a military intervention in Niger when the CDAO convenes an extraordinary summit on August 10 in Abuja?
11:50 I invite you to listen to the answer of Mohamed Skoundi, a government specialist in Africa.
11:56 So, at first glance, and looking at the determination of the two parties, the determination of the CDAO, led by Ahmed Tinibou,
12:06 and the Nigerian president, and the determination of the military agent.
12:10 Both have shown so far an absolute determination, that is, from some to the end.
12:18 For the CDAO, the objective is to restore constitutional order, and for the military agent, the objective is to continue in its logic, which it calls transition.
12:28 So, the probability seems quite high, but without introducing two variables.
12:33 The two other variables are, first, at the level of Nigeria, that is, Nigeria is the one that leads the CDAO.
12:40 So, there are voices that rise up to support democracy, but to say that we must save time in terms of negotiations to find an honorable outcome, an honorable way out of this crisis.
12:52 We must say that Nigeria shares borders with Niger.
12:57 There are eight federated states of Nigeria that share borders with Nigeria, so there are interests related in some way.
13:04 Interests, we can say family interests, economic interests, social, and so on.
13:09 Then there are other actors, that is, other variables that are invited in this complicated equation.
13:16 These are regional actors, judged by the position of Chad, because Chad is already suffering,
13:23 that is, from the negative impact of the war that continues to take place in Sudan,
13:29 and therefore, for him, he does not need our war at his doorstep.
13:33 So, we can say that when we introduce these two variables, which I have just mentioned,
13:38 beyond other partners, other actors who share borders with Nigeria, who do not want the outbreak of a war.
13:46 And so, when we introduce these two dimensions, we can say that the probability of a military intervention of the CDAO becomes more and more distant,
13:57 because there are many actors who want to favor the path of negotiation.
14:03 So, for them, it is true that the ultimatum that the CDAO had set for the agenda for the release of President Bazoum and the reestablishment of their constitutional order is exhausted,
14:14 but they want an extension of this ultimatum and that there are other actors, perhaps other mediators,
14:21 who intervene to make the agenda sound reasonable and finally find an honorable way out of this crisis.
14:28 And what would be the consequences of a military operation in Nigeria, a sub-region already at risk of several security dangers?
14:35 Let's follow the answer of Mohamed Chkoundi, a specialist in governance in Africa.
14:39 You know, the Sahel is already a victim, as we have just said, of certain wars.
14:44 These are wars that destabilize them.
14:46 And when there are wars that break out in the African territories, in the Sahel in particular,
14:51 it becomes the breeding ground, that is to say, it becomes the fertile ground for the expansion of terrorist groups,
14:59 drug traffickers, mercenaries of this kind, and so on.
15:03 So the consequences are first of all at the level of the countries of Nigeria itself, because Nigeria is a fragile state.
15:09 It must be remembered that the Nigerian population is fragile and vulnerable.
15:14 In Nigeria, the poverty rate is very high.
15:19 So it is a very vulnerable population, which is already called upon to face a set of challenges,
15:26 of climate change, of social challenges, of economic challenges, and so on.
15:32 Now, a war, that is to say, a military intervention, would inevitably lead to a movement of refugees.
15:40 So refugees, we know, are first of all heading to the border countries, in the first order,
15:46 of which there is Nigeria, which shares more than 1,600 km, without mentioning Chad and many other countries.
15:52 So, that is to say, a military intervention can have very serious consequences on the whole region.
15:58 That is to say, problems of economic, political, social, and refugee issues.
16:05 It will add to the vulnerability of the populations that are already vulnerable,
16:10 and it will risk destabilizing the whole region.
16:14 In the meantime, the military announced last night the appointment of Prime Minister Ali Mahamad Lamine Zaine
16:21 and that of Abibou Assouman, the new commander of the presidential guard.
16:25 Ali Mahamad Lamine Zaine had been Minister of Finance until the overthrow of Mahamadou Tandja
16:31 during a coup d'état in 2010 by Commander Salou Dibou,
16:35 before a presidential election won by Mahamadou Issoufou, predecessor of Mahamad Bazoum,
16:41 which was lost on July 26.
16:43 The new Prime Minister, appointed by the Nigerian state, is an economist by training,
16:47 and who has also been a representative of the African Development Bank in Chad,
16:52 Ivory Coast, and Gabon.
16:55 Let's talk weather now.
16:57 A wave of heat, strong gusts of wind, and strong locally stormy downpours
17:01 are still expected this Tuesday in several provinces of the kingdom,
17:05 according to the forecasts of the General Direction of Meteorology.
