[00:09:00] Welcome to a new episode of [00:09:04] your program African Diaspora. We meet Saad [00:09:07] Hamzaoui, a Moroccan businessman living in Ivory [00:09:11] Coast since 1987. [00:09:14] Today, he holds the position of President of the Chamber of Commerce in the city [00:09:18] of San Pedro. He also holds the position of Honorary Consul [00:09:22] of the Republic of Congo Brazzaville. Hamzaoui, [00:09:25] Saad, [00:09:29] President of the Chamber of Commerce in Ivory Coast, [00:09:32] a Moroccan entrepreneur residing in Ivory [00:09:35] Coast since [00:09:38] 1987. [00:09:41] 38 years of my presence here. [00:09:45] And Honorary Consul of Congo [00:09:48] Brazzaville in San Pedro in Ivory Coast. So [00:09:52] I came to Ivory Coast in [00:09:54] 1987 after finishing my secondary education [00:09:58] in the city of Fez, because I am from [00:10:01] Fez. I came here to Ivory Coast. My [00:10:05] family was here, and I came here in a way [00:10:08] to spend some time. My [00:10:15] life path here, my work [00:10:18] and [00:10:22] everything related to me. My path that remained [00:10:25] here. I started in Ivory Coast and God completed [00:10:29] that my life remained here in this happy country. [00:10:31] Thank God. [00:10:35] I came to a city [00:10:37] called [00:10:40] in the west of Ivory Coast. A city that borders [00:10:44] between Ivory Coast and also borders [00:10:47] Conakry. [00:10:51] So from 1987 to [00:10:53] 2001, my path was there in this work [00:10:57] and problems occurred in 2001 when [00:11:01] the civil war broke out here in [00:11:04] Ivory Coast. And from there, we left that country [00:11:07] and went down to Abidjan. From Abidjan, we went back to Morocco, [00:11:10] all of us. The Moroccan families who were [00:11:13] there gathered with us and we all left together, thank God. [00:11:17] Even though we lost everything, our work remained [00:11:20] there. 15 years of work remained [00:11:23] there. War means a person has to [00:11:26] choose between their life or [00:11:29] for example, their property. The choice was very [00:11:33] easy for me. I chose my life and left [00:11:36] there, thank God. Even though everything was lost, we got out of that [00:11:40] very difficult stage and came to Abidjan. [00:11:43] From Abidjan, I went to Morocco, and then [00:11:46] I returned to Abidjan. [00:11:49] And again, I started from scratch, thank God. [00:11:52] The human capital, as [00:11:56] I always say, is not always money, but a person's [00:11:59] reputation. Thank God, we had a good reputation. We spent 15 [00:12:03] years with people, and people trusted us and saw [00:12:07] our seriousness and helped us again. [00:12:10] And again, the wheel, as we say, turned again, thank God. [00:12:13] And at this hour, we are sitting well, thank God. [00:12:17] We are doing well in Ivory Coast with our Ivorian [00:12:20] brothers. There is a complete harmony [00:12:24] with them. The credit for this goes to His Majesty the King, may God protect him, [00:12:27] because he also helped us a lot, and his reputation [00:12:31] here and his reputation, thank God, are very good. [00:12:35] And they respect him and value him very much. And we [00:12:37] benefit from this issue. Even us Moroccans [00:12:41] here, thank God, they respect us and we [00:12:44] respect them and we respect the laws of the country and we live in [00:12:48] harmony, thank God, which is [00:12:50] good. If you stay 38 years in a [00:12:54] country, it's normal for a person to be [00:12:57] comfortable, because you can't stay in a country for 38 years if you are not [00:13:01] comfortable there. So, thank God, we have adapted here. [00:13:05] The country, thank God, is good. [00:13:08] Even though we went through a difficult [00:13:11] period, thank God, now it's been more than 15 years [00:13:15] under the control of the state, thank God. We no longer have problems. [00:13:19] There is security, thank God. Everything is harmony. [00:13:23] Moroccans with Ivorians. There are [00:13:30] a large number of Moroccans who came and were received with a wonderful [00:13:34] reception here. And then the Ivorians [00:13:36] are happy with us here and we [00:13:39] respect the country and we respect the people [00:13:43] of the country and the officials. And we don't get involved in politics because [00:13:46] this is none of our business. Because we are here, as [00:13:50] I told you before, we came to do [00:13:54] business between Moroccans [00:13:56] and Ivorians. We don't get involved in the problems of [00:14:00] the country's politics. And thank God, everything is going [00:14:03] well. The credit goes, as I told you, a drop [00:14:07] that all this [00:14:09] is under [00:14:12] the guidance and orders of our master, may God protect him. [00:14:16] Many Moroccan companies came and settled [00:14:20] here in Ivory Coast, and thank God, they are working well. [00:14:23] And it gave an opportunity for the recognition of Moroccan [00:14:27] expertise. Moroccan [00:14:29] expertise. People recognized [00:14:32] that Moroccans have a lot to say [00:14:36] in many fields. That image we had [00:14:40] before, that Moroccans are traders [00:14:44] or now, thank God, [00:14:46] more than 10 years or 15 [00:14:50] years ago, [00:14:52] the door that our master, may [00:15:25] God protect him, opened. There are many Moroccan companies here in [00:15:29] construction projects, road projects, pharmaceutical projects. There [00:15:32] are many things [00:15:35] where Moroccan [00:15:38] expertise is recognized now, thank God, recognized [00:15:41] in Ivory Coast. After a successful professional [00:15:45] career, he faced the crisis of 2001, [00:15:48] which caused him to lose all his possessions before [00:15:52] rebuilding his career from scratch in Abidjan, thanks to [00:15:55] the trust and strong relationships he had with his Ivorian [00:15:59] partners. With an experience that extends for more than [00:16:03] 38 years, Hamzaoui has achieved [00:16:06] full integration. [00:16:18] It was established by a group of Moroccan [00:16:21] businessmen who came up with this idea of a chamber of commerce. [00:16:25] And the one who brought this idea of the Chamber of Commerce is my younger [00:16:29] brother, and he is the one who had this idea [00:16:32] and proposed it to some businessmen who were here. [00:16:36] And they established this Chamber of Commerce because it was lacking here to gather [00:16:40] Moroccan businessmen who are here, and they tried [00:16:43] to organize themselves. So, when this [00:16:47] Chamber of Commerce was established, it was natural [00:16:50] for me, as a businessman who has been [00:16:53] here for more than 30 years, to also [00:16:56] choose to join this [00:17:00] Chamber of Commerce and start our journey. And we tried to gather Moroccan [00:17:04] companies here, and we didn't leave this Chamber [00:17:38] For example, among the companies that come to Morocco and want [00:17:41] to settle here to work, we help them in [00:17:45] all stages of [00:17:49] establishing a company, [00:17:54] from the regular administration. We try to help them [00:17:58] because they don't know the country, and we, who have been here for a while, [00:18:01] through the Chamber of Commerce, we try to help them [00:18:04] and make things easier for them a little bit. So, [00:18:08] the network of [00:18:10] the Chamber of Commerce, this is its mission. It is [00:18:14] to bring Moroccan companies and companies that are members [00:18:19] the administrations, we try to help them find [00:18:22] solutions. Even though we live here [00:18:26] for 38 years, we don't forget that our origins [00:18:29] are all Moroccan. And we remain [00:18:32] connected to the country. [00:19:59] between the two countries, which have been greatly strengthened since [00:20:03] the royal visit in 2013. [00:20:28] have with His Majesty, may God protect him, in [00:20:34] reception. And this [00:20:50] meeting that I was honored [00:20:52] to shake hands with our master. [00:20:55] It was a moment, as [00:20:58] I tell you, it was a great honor, a great [00:21:01] pride for any [00:21:04] Moroccan. I wish him to have the chance [00:21:07] to shake hands with our master in one of these visits. [00:21:11] It was a great honor, thank God, that I was [00:21:14] granted. Thank God, it was a [00:21:17] country that we never abandoned. [00:21:21] We have proof of that, thank God. We have all Moroccan [00:21:25] channels here: 2M, Al Oula, [00:21:28] Al Akhbariya. In Ramadan, we watch [00:21:32] those series and Ramadan programs on 2M. [00:21:36] Thank God, we are in [00:21:40] the homeland. Moroccan companies have become [00:21:42] today a fundamental economic actor in several [00:21:46] strategic sectors. Proud of his roots [00:21:50] and his deep connection to Morocco, Saad Hamzaoui continues [00:21:53] his efforts to strengthen economic, [00:21:56] human, and institutional relations between African [00:22:00] countries, calling on Moroccan youth residing abroad [00:22:04] to be true ambassadors [00:22:06] for their country through commitment to positive values [00:22:10] and hard [00:22:11] and responsible work. [00:22:15] The Honorary Consul of Congo [00:22:17] Brazzaville in the city [00:22:23] owes his gratitude to a Moroccan sister, who is also [00:22:26] the Consul of Casablanca Settat, Madame [00:22:30] Consul Nouah Atlas, who [00:22:35] Congo with Minister Henriette [00:22:38] Nana Soudan, whom [00:22:41] we met in Brazzaville. And we had some [00:22:44] meetings there with other ministers and important [00:22:48] personalities from this country. [00:22:51] The brotherly country also, and we saw that there is [00:22:54] a possibility to try to develop relations [00:22:58] between the relations, [00:23:01] economic relations between the Kingdom of Morocco [00:23:04] and Ivory Coast and the country, because [00:23:08] His Majesty, may God protect him, always told us, he used to say [00:23:11] that South-South cooperation. [00:23:17] the aspect of our work here, I have [00:23:20] two companies. I have CACI, which is [00:23:23] Comptoir des Aluminium de Côte d'Ivoire. And we have another company that [00:23:29] the construction field, Conseil. So these [00:23:32] two companies, almost, we have [00:23:35] in them [00:23:38] more than 50 or [00:23:39] 60 [00:23:43] employees in the company, and thank God, we have [00:23:47] Moroccan management staff who [00:23:53] work in the CACI company and also in the construction company. And thank God, the harmony [00:23:56] between Moroccan staff and Ivorian staff [00:24:00] is good, thank God. An understanding that we [00:24:03] always have, thank God. We don't have any problems regarding relationships. [00:24:07] And we try [00:24:09] to give a good image of Moroccan companies [00:24:13] because they are civilian companies that [00:24:18] the respect of laws [00:24:22] in the country. All that [00:24:26] concerns [00:24:29] the scope of work in Ivory Coast, a person must [00:24:32] respect it because we, Moroccan companies, are [00:24:35] a flag that we represent, which is the Moroccan flag. [00:24:38] And the Moroccan image in Ivory Coast. [00:24:41] And you know that the relationship between His Majesty [00:24:45] the King, may God protect him, and the President of Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara, [00:24:48] since 2013, there have been many conventions signed [00:24:52] between Ivory Coast and Morocco [00:24:56] in many fields of activity, [00:25:00] including construction, including insurance, [00:25:03] including industry, and many [00:25:06] other things. And Moroccan expertise, thank God, we have become [00:25:10] proud of it because the whole world, [00:25:14] Ivory Coast, recognizes that Moroccan expertise is [00:25:18] highly respected. We also have our place in the field [00:25:21] of business in Ivory Coast. So this is a great [00:25:25] honor for me because I am already [00:25:28] a businessman and President of the Chamber of Commerce, and this, thank God, [00:25:32] represents all Moroccans in Ivory [00:25:34] Coast, because, thank God, our Moroccan flag always [00:25:38] flies high, thank God, [00:25:40] above [00:25:49] now we are [00:25:51] in the warehouse here.
