[00:00:00] unprecedented in Arab and African contexts. It crowns years of
[00:00:03] achievements and a continuous
[00:00:11] economic, and social dimensions. In this rather it has a range of path towards the summit. A historic leap with 1803 points and 99 hundredths did not come
[00:00:15] for cooperation in order to, first of all, in this this time from the Atlas Lions' feet, but from Brazil's draw
[00:00:19] against Australia, which cost
[00:00:21] the Samba dancers about two points,
[00:00:25] tipping the overall ranking calculations in favor of the
[00:00:28] Moroccan national team. With this advancement, only four
[00:00:31] teams are ahead of the Atlas Lions:
[00:00:34] Spain, Argentina, France, and
[00:00:37] England. This position is not the result of
[00:00:40] a single match, but the fruit of a cumulative path of
[00:00:44] results and achievements.
[00:00:46] The last chapter was in the 2026
[00:00:49] is to create an atmosphere of World Cup. A draw against Brazil,
[00:00:52] two victories against Scotland and Haiti, then a win
[00:00:56] on penalties against Tunisia, and a hat-trick in
[00:00:59] the net against Ghana took the Lions to the quarter-finals
[00:01:02] before the journey stopped against
[00:01:05] France, leaving behind a record that strengthened
[00:01:08] Morocco's position at the top of world football. A path
[00:01:11] that also draws its momentum from winning the 2025
[00:01:14] Africa Cup of Nations after the Atlas Lions
[00:01:18] carved their way among the continent's giants, and from the epic of Qatar
[00:01:22] 2022, from the draw against
[00:01:25] Croatia and defeating Belgium and Canada, to
[00:01:28] eliminating Spain
[00:01:30] and reaching an unprecedented Arab and African semi-final.
[00:01:34] Achievements have continued since returning to
[00:01:37] the World Cup in 2018,
[00:01:40] charting a continuous Moroccan ascent on
[00:01:44] the world football map. Today, the Atlas Lions
[00:01:48] are knocking on the doors of the top five, in
[00:01:51] an achievement that reflects a path of brilliance and confirms
[00:01:54] that Moroccan football is no longer
[00:01:57] content with making history. It has begun
[00:02:00] to carve out a place for itself among
[00:02:04] the giants of the world. To
[00:02:08] remember
[00:02:08] the headlines.
[00:02:13] The US Deputy Secretary of State reiterated
[00:02:16] his country's determination to work with
[00:02:19] Morocco to find a final and lasting solution
[00:02:23] to the Moroccan Sahara issue, and reiterated
[00:02:26] his country's commitment to developing the southern provinces
[00:02:30] of the Kingdom. The American official's affirmation came after
[00:02:34] discussions he held with
[00:02:36] today of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation,
[00:02:39] and Moroccans Residing Abroad on the sidelines of
[00:02:42] the 11th session
[00:02:45] of the UN General
[00:02:47] Assembly. After the curtains fell
[00:02:50] on the legislative elections and the final
[00:02:53] results of the vote were released, the new
[00:02:57] House of Representatives map presents more than one possibility regarding
[00:03:01] possible alliances to form the next
[00:03:04] government. So, which scenarios do the seat calculations
[00:03:07] offer, and which alliances can
[00:03:11] produce a majority within the House
[00:03:14] of Representatives?
[00:03:21] The national football team begins
[00:03:25] its journey in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers
[00:03:28] 207. 20 with a win against
[00:03:31] its Gabonese counterpart by two goals to
[00:03:35] nil.
[00:03:54] The Berber Arab, the Berber
[00:03:57] Arab, every horse here moves with the spirit
[00:04:01] of Morocco, the power of Tbourida, the agility of the jumper
[00:04:04] over obstacles, and the magic of equestrian
[00:04:07] show evenings. Traditions, history,
[00:04:10] and sport under the high patronage of His Majesty King
[00:04:14] Mohammed VI, may God grant him victory. The Horse Show is renewed
[00:04:17] in its 17th edition from
[00:04:20] October 13-18, 2026,
[00:04:24] at the Mohammed VI Exhibition Center in El Jadida.
[00:04:28] Ever since my child started early education, a lot has
[00:04:32] Here, changed.
[00:04:35] He gets happy when he knows he's going to
[00:04:37] class.
[00:04:41] the organization of the Africa He talks more, knows how to communicate with his friends, and his self-confidence
[00:04:45] has increased. Before, he was shy about expressing himself, but now he raises his hand
[00:04:49] to communicate, and he even relies on himself for many
[00:04:52] things. Frankly, I see the difference in him every day, and that's
[00:04:56] why I tell all parents that early education is free.
[00:05:03] The Ministry of National Education, Early Education, and Sports, with
[00:05:06] its partners, is working to provide early education throughout the Kingdom,
[00:05:09] in urban and rural areas. Enrollment
[00:05:12] is always open. You just need to go to the nearest
[00:05:16] educational institution, because the big dream starts with a small step. Today,
[00:06:09] the African Diaspora program highlights an exceptional
[00:06:13] personality who dedicated her life to serving development in
[00:06:16] Africa and supporting youth in achieving their ambitions.
[00:06:19] We meet Camille Bonnamassla, the Senegalese
[00:06:22] entrepreneur, owner of an inspiring Thank you for coming
[00:06:26] to see us. My name is Bonnamassla. I am a special envoy of the
[00:06:30] President of Sierra Leone, and I am also
[00:06:33] a representative
[00:06:36] minister in West Africa. The African object that I
[00:06:39] keep at home is my prayer mat.
[00:06:43] I carry it everywhere, and I think that faith
[00:06:46] is important, and so
[00:06:50] I take it everywhere. You know, there are many values in Africa, and
[00:06:54] I am, at the same time, the values that I
[00:06:56] received as an African are values of sharing,
[00:06:59] solidarity, and at the same
[00:07:02] time, especially sharing. That's also
[00:07:06] it, and these are the same values that I find today in Morocco. That's how we were
[00:07:09] educated, and it's this education that we especially had.
[00:07:13] Solidarity, we can't do anything without it, and helping our neighbor, and so as
[00:07:17] an African and a Muslim, I think these are
[00:07:20] things that were ingrained in us from a very young age,
[00:07:23] hospitality, sharing, education, especially, respect for
[00:07:27] elders, and it's very, very important for us, respect for
[00:07:30] adults, for elders. Listen, Morocco, I feel more at home than at home. After
[00:07:34] about twenty visits to this country, I decided to settle here with my
[00:07:38] family, and I think it's a very beautiful country. I...
[00:07:42] I believe strongly in this, I think that
[00:07:46] the development
[00:07:48] Africa can pass through Morocco.
[00:07:51] Morocco has everything. It has everything in Morocco. It has nothing
[00:07:55] to envy in Europe, and I believe strongly in this South-South cooperation,
[00:07:59] which is very important, okay. I
[00:08:02] really like this concept that we have always
[00:08:06] been told, that the South is a very, very good
[00:08:10] cooperation, and I think that Morocco
[00:08:13] is a super good country. Today, what's good about Morocco is
[00:08:17] that we are 3 hours from Dakar, we are 3 hours from Freetown,
[00:08:21] we are 3 hours from Guinea. We are a bit, and
[00:08:24] Morocco is a bit of my benchmark for going to Africa.
[00:08:28] And also what I like about this country is the openness, the
[00:08:31] kindness, the sharing, everything they have as values here, that we find
[00:08:35] the same values at
[00:08:36] home.
[00:08:41] who chose Casablanca as the headquarters for his current activity,
[00:08:44] born in
[00:08:46] 1985.
[00:08:50] it's, it's super important. There's an African proverb that says,
[00:08:54] "If you know where you're going, return to where you came from."
[00:08:58] I think knowing one's history is very, very important, and Nelson
[00:09:01] Mandela taught us that everything that is done for us, that others have chosen without
[00:09:05] us, is actually against us. On being active, I think that
[00:09:09] my origins, which I draw from the deepest
[00:09:12] African values that are ingrained in me, help me a lot to
[00:09:16] move forward in life because in these values there are many things: there's
[00:09:19] respect, there's education, there's sharing, there are many other things,
[00:09:23] and it's super important for me to be from these
[00:09:27] origins, to be African, to belong to this continent.
[00:09:31] And the continent is magnificent. Africa has everything.
[00:09:33] It has nothing to envy anywhere. Listen,
[00:09:37] when you take 70% of the world's gold comes
[00:09:41] from Africa, 70% of the world's diamonds come from Africa, wood from the
[00:09:45] world, water, land,
[00:09:48] everything else is youth. And so, the
[00:09:51] youth, and so all that remains is work, that we get to work and show
[00:09:55] everyone that together we can be stronger than everyone. I lived in
[00:09:59] Europe and I often said our grandparents went
[00:10:02] to France, they fought in the war for France, they returned
[00:10:06] with nothing at all. Our uncles
[00:10:09] built there, they created laws to explain to us. Of course, we are
[00:10:13] confronted when we are in European countries. I experienced
[00:10:16] racism, I experienced many, many other things, but I tell
[00:10:20] you, apart from all that, what is wonderful when you have values, when you
[00:10:24] believe in God, when... like Morocco, you feel that it doesn't have that, because it has a
[00:10:27] belief, which is God, and when it has God, it has no color.
[00:10:31] It has a God who allows us to love one another.
[00:10:34] Of course there are, there are discontented people everywhere, of course there are
[00:10:38] ignorant people everywhere, especially ignorance, because
[00:10:41] it's, it's what's important. You
[00:10:44] know, Mandela used to say that our greatest
[00:10:47] weapon in the world was education. And I think that once
[00:10:51] we are educated, once we have these values, we are good.
[00:10:56] He is considered one of the most prominent influential figures in the West African
[00:10:59] Economic and Monetary Union, a self-made man
[00:11:03] who built his success with steady steps
[00:11:06] and perseverance.
[00:11:10] professionally today, it's being able to
[00:11:13] want to carry out a project for Africans, to say that
[00:11:17] today I have a project of 10,000 jobs for these
[00:11:21] young Africans in the Sahara, and that
[00:11:24] today our states have a duty to help them
[00:11:28] and support them. So my project today
[00:11:31] is to say, I will create 10,000 jobs for these young people in
[00:11:35] several sectors so that they can, those who have gone on
[00:11:38] an adventure, can stay on the continent, that they be
[00:11:41] trained and can work here in Morocco or
[00:11:45] those who want to return home, that they can return. But it's
[00:11:48] important when there are young people, you know, when
[00:11:52] half of a population is under
[00:11:55] 24 in Africa, I think we all need
[00:11:58] to think about supporting them, helping them, training them and giving them
[00:12:02] jobs, because it's a wealth that we have today. Europe is
[00:12:05] aging, everyone is aging. We say Africa, the
[00:12:09] next 50 years are Africa's 50 years, and I think when we talk about Africa's 50 years
[00:12:12] to say that there are young people, there is labor and they come
[00:12:16] to seek these young people today. I have already worked a lot in my country of origin,
[00:12:20] I never stopped, I always work in my country of origin. I was at
[00:12:23] the initiative of several. The first big project I
[00:12:27] carried out, which is very good, called Smart City, we raised
[00:12:30] about 5 million euros for parking, for
[00:12:34] parking, we created 200 jobs, and these are
[00:12:38] these kinds of projects that I continue to develop in
[00:12:39] Africa.
[00:12:43] He excelled in the fields of entrepreneurship, social solidarity,
[00:12:46] and economic diplomacy. He successfully led
[00:12:49] CBS France, contributing to providing employment
[00:12:52] opportunities for young people. "Today, I
[00:12:55] am a special envoy of the President of Sierra Leone. I work for a large group called
[00:12:59] Westminister, which deals with airport security.
[00:13:03] We are in 50 countries around the world. Listen, what I
[00:13:07] can bring to the continent today is the experience I
[00:13:10] gained. I created 200 jobs in Senegal. I deal with PPPs
[00:13:14] with communities. Today, I work for Westminister. I am
[00:13:18] a special envoy for the
[00:13:19] President, but I am
[00:13:23] also working in the office of the Vice President of Sierra
[00:13:27] Leone, and I think it's important today for these
[00:13:30] councils to say that Africa must help Africa. Africa
[00:13:34] has everything. So it's up to us to take our destiny and our
[00:13:38] continent into our own hands. And I today bring
[00:13:41] my added value, I've always done it for
[00:13:45] years, bringing something to my continent. Morocco is a very, very beautiful country,
[00:13:48] and I feel like I belong to this
[00:13:52] culture, which is already religious for me, and I feel the same
[00:13:55] African values that we have. And Morocco is a super beautiful country. I am
[00:13:59] happy to live there and be there, and I really
[00:14:04] the King, who makes a lot of effort for these
[00:14:07] relations between Africa and and and and other parts of the
[00:14:11] world. I know that he plays a great role today for African
[00:14:14] unity and for ECOWAS, and I think that his vision
[00:14:17] today for Morocco, he has it for all
[00:14:21] of Africa, and it is a pride to come to Morocco. It is
[00:14:25] a pride to have a King
[00:14:27] Mohammed VI who is
[00:14:31] euh I think many African heads of state should
[00:14:34] follow his example. We are in a country where the infrastructure
[00:14:38] is all okay. You know yesterday I have a friend who sent me
[00:14:42] to Business
[00:14:44] School in Morocco. It's among
[00:14:48] the 20. They will be in the ranking of the
[00:14:51] top 20 in the whole world for business.
[00:14:57] Morocco has everything, and so
[00:15:00] on education, on health, on infrastructure.
[00:15:02] infrastructures،
[00:15:08] And supporting development projects in a number of African
[00:15:11] countries, thus confirming his deep commitment
[00:15:14] to the African continent and its rising generations.
[00:15:18] Hassan El Bakouri, member of the council
[00:15:21] of the Hay Hassani district and a community activist at the district level.
[00:15:25] Hassani. Today,
[00:15:28] within the framework of, firstly, Morocco's relations
[00:15:32] in general and Moroccans' relations with our brothers from Sub-Saharan
[00:15:35] Africa, today I believe that the Africa Cup of Nations
[00:15:39] is not just a sporting event in football, but
[00:15:45] cultural, intellectual,
[00:15:48] context, there are mechanisms
[00:15:53] wonderful ecological space of Hassani, the park
[00:15:57] of Lake Oulfa, that we have a fan
[00:16:00] zone during the events of the Africa Cup of Nations, which will be
[00:16:04] a meeting that brings together
[00:16:07] Moroccan football fans, families, and football
[00:16:11] fans from other African nationalities, especially those residing in the Hay
[00:16:14] Hassani district, which witnesses a large presence of African
[00:16:17] communities from sub-Saharan Africa who are with us today, living with us,
[00:16:21] and we coexist with them. And this fan zone
[00:16:26] celebration during the events of the Africa Cup of Nations, an atmosphere of
[00:16:29] cohesion, an atmosphere of cultural exchange, an atmosphere
[00:16:33] of cultural and intellectual richness that will be more than just sports, and
[00:16:37] this occasion of the Africa Cup of Nations will also be a celebratory
[00:16:41] occasion to bring joy and happiness to all the guests who
[00:16:45] will attend with us in Morocco
[00:16:48] in this event, especially in the city of Casablanca. Of course,
[00:16:51] we will be lucky, God willing, that the Hay Hassani district
[00:16:55] will host this fan zone in partnership with a number of
[00:16:58] civil society organizations in Morocco
[00:17:02] and in Africa as well. And also with the participation of a number of
[00:17:06] parties that may contribute
[00:17:09] from the Hay Hassani district, the city of Casablanca, the region of Casablanca, and perhaps
[00:17:12] even some other parties can help as well, within the framework of, firstly,
[00:17:16] interacting with Morocco's dynamics in organizing such
[00:17:19] events. The Africa Cup of Nations is considered a demonstration,
[00:17:23] an experience, God willing, so that
[00:17:26] we can also be ready for the 2030 World Cup. And I repeat
[00:17:29] the idea, we must contribute to strengthening the nation's capabilities, and we will also contribute to
[00:17:33] raising the level of our image at the African level,
[00:17:37] and the world level. And the Africa Cup of Nations will be a very important station so that
[00:17:41] through these cultural, intellectual
[00:17:45] exchanges of cultures, there will be
[00:17:48] a place of celebration so that, God willing, we can all celebrate
[00:17:52] all the visitors to Morocco in the 2025
[00:17:55] Africa Cup of Nations, God willing.
[00:17:57] It's
[00:18:01] all the African nations to gather in Morocco. It's
[00:18:04] going to happen once every 20
[00:18:08] or 30 years, and so it's super important that we start there before reaching the World
[00:18:11] Cup. Thank God, everything is
[00:18:14] good. They are ready, the athletes are ready.
[00:18:18] I saw the stadiums that they renovated. I really
[00:18:21] congratulate the King for his extraordinary work. It's in this
[00:18:25] continuity that we love, that we love Morocco, and the
[00:18:28] development of Africa passes through it.
[00:18:32] Thank you very much, thank
[00:18:33] you very much.
[00:18:41] Today, Cela dedicates his experience and network
[00:18:44] of relationships to serving the continent and works passionately
[00:18:47] to build bridges of opportunity between youth, entrepreneurs,
[00:18:51] and investors to become partners in success and development.
[00:18:55] With his settlement in Morocco, he aims to empower immigrants
[00:18:58] residing in the Kingdom to acquire diverse professional
[00:19:02] skills, especially in the context of Morocco's preparation
[00:19:05] to host the 2000 World Cup.
[00:19:21] who is a friend with whom we share. I have many, many friends in Morocco
[00:19:24] here, whether it's Karim, whether it's
[00:19:27] Neymar, whether it's uh
[00:19:30] Jalal, these are people who are very, very dear to me.
[00:19:34] You know, we are all concerned about what's
[00:19:38] happening today around the world, and it's a
[00:19:41] wonderful chance that the AFCON is that this African
[00:19:44] gathering that brings together the whole continent is also organized in
[00:19:47] Morocco. And so, since I'm here, I took the initiative
[00:19:51] to organize this fan zone in a city
[00:19:54] like Oulfa or Souss-Massa, where there is a strong African community
[00:19:57] who are there. It's also a moment of joy, of
[00:20:01] celebration, of gathering around the ball, but it's
[00:20:05] solidarity, it's also sharing
[00:20:07] cultures, to see that Malians,
[00:20:10] Senegalese, Algerians, Tunisians,
[00:20:13] and other countries gather today
[00:20:16] for the essential, which is
[00:20:19] Cup of Nations. And I am today, uh
[00:20:23] with my friends, I thought, what can we bring
[00:20:26] today to this Africa Cup? It's
[00:20:29] the first thing, it's that, it's to organize a fan zone where all the
[00:20:33] communities will gather, will... watch the match, watch the match
[00:20:37] for free, okay, where
[00:20:40] they can culturally share their music,
[00:20:44] their cuisine,
[00:20:47] uh, objects of exchange, and that's the spirit
[00:20:50] of sports, okay? And for the
[00:20:53] World Cup, we said today that there are many
[00:20:56] young immigrants in Morocco here. It's being able to train them
[00:21:00] and that instead of them crossing the Atlantic to go, it's to
[00:21:04] work with them, train them here, more than 10,000 young people in
[00:21:07] trades such as construction, plumbing, trades, because
[00:21:11] there are many young people who come here too who have diplomas,
[00:21:15] who can work in administration. It's to say that all these young people, when they are trained,
[00:21:18] they don't need to go to Europe, they need to build here the
[00:21:22] infrastructure for the World Cup. It's our
[00:21:26] struggle and many young people too, it's to help them
[00:21:30] to have a training, to have a job,
[00:21:33] the day they return home, because we are in Africa, Africa
[00:21:37] is their home, we are all on the continent, but the days that a young Senegalese who
[00:21:40] comes to Morocco, who wants to cross the Atlantic, arrives in Morocco and is offered a
[00:21:44] training, a job, he can work with dignity, and above all
[00:21:48] I ask the authorities
[00:21:50] to help these young people integrate here, to give them a residence
[00:21:54] permit, even if it's temporary, so that they can work with dignity, earn
[00:21:57] a living to return. The idea for us is not for the continent to
[00:22:01] empty, not to cross the Atlantic to leave. But you
[00:22:04] know, young people, these young people don't leave for pleasure. When you are
[00:22:08] in the streets of Africa, a bit everywhere, when you see your mother selling
[00:22:12] peanuts, uh, fruits and fruits and earns 1
[00:22:15] euro a day to feed you, you are 21 years old, you are 20 years old, you have no more
[00:22:19] jobs. You have lost hope, you want to help your family, and all these young people
[00:22:23] who leave the diaspora, who go a
[00:22:27] bit everywhere in the world, they don't go for pleasure, they go to
[00:22:30] try to improve the living conditions of their family,
[00:22:34] but also their own
[00:22:36] survival. We are in the 21st century. There is no young person who doesn't want to have
[00:22:40] a family situation, who doesn't want to get married, who doesn't want to have
[00:22:43] a house, a car, and that's super
[00:22:46] important. Another aspect today on...
[00:22:51] So you have to understand that when you when you, there are many people
[00:22:54] who who talk about the exodus but because today they are confronted
[00:22:58] with serious problems. When you are a farmer, you live in Kenya and
[00:23:02] and the floods have destroyed all
[00:23:05] your field, what do you do? You go to the
[00:23:08] city. And I think we need to think about a good African
[00:23:12] model and to support our youth, our
[00:23:15] farmers, our livestock breeders, all the people who make the
[00:23:18] continent move and who do things.
[00:23:20] And above all, I have said it and I say it again, that we have all the wealth in Africa,
[00:23:24] we have gold, we have diamonds, we have land, we have water, and
[00:23:28] we have wood. You imagine, all that we lack today is that
[00:23:32] we have leaders like the King, who love the
[00:23:35] continent, who love the people and who can
[00:23:38] euh value what they have best on the
[00:23:41] continent. Because often we talk a lot about immigration, it's about
[00:23:45] a minority of people who want to leave and a
[00:23:49] majority of people who stay on the continent, who are not
[00:23:52] valued, who our states do not value. Look, I take the case of Morocco, whether
[00:23:56] it's Senegal, whether it's Mali, or Congo, today, when you arrive, most
[00:24:00] of the young people, they have their car, they are
[00:24:03] doing private cars, VTC, they transport
[00:24:06] people with companies with whom they work, whether it's
[00:24:10] today, Yango, Uber or other companies that are there,
[00:24:14] where these young people are fighting, thousands of young people who don't even want
[00:24:18] today to cross the Atlantic because they have
[00:24:21] found their way here. And I think that our
[00:24:24] leaders today in Africa, and this is what I often advise heads
[00:24:28] of state, is to value what we have best on the
[00:24:31] continent.
[00:24:33] Hey my big bro, ah thank you very much.
[00:24:37] Yes, it was quick, right? You saw all these young people
[00:24:41] who who come from Africa, from Senegal, who work tirelessly.
[00:24:44] You just have to call them and they come to tell you that all these young people
[00:24:48] who are here are not crazy people, they are not young people who want to leave,
[00:24:52] immigrate to Europe. They come here, they settle, they work
[00:24:55] honestly, and these are very honest and very brave young people. They are here
[00:24:59] to work, and so these are the people who must be supported. And you see the
[00:25:03] proof is that I ordered something from him, in 5 minutes he brought it to me, I paid
[00:25:07] him, and that's how they are, and thousands of young Africans who are fighting. Thank
[00:25:11] you very much, big bro, see you soon, right? Yes, yes, in fact, these are people who settle
[00:25:14] here. When you come to my kitchen, I have a Moroccan woman who cooks for
[00:25:17] me. We are making, madam is making
[00:25:20] food. And so we ordered Senegalese dishes
[00:25:24] today because my friends were arriving. We will finish with a tea that
[00:25:27] madam will make for us, and all that. And
[00:25:30] uh thank you very much. I also eat a lot of Moroccan food. Three or four times. On Fridays, however,
[00:25:34] it's Moroccan couscous. All my friends invite me, my friend Karim invites me all the
[00:25:38] time to Rabat, plus
[00:25:41] Jalal, to eat Moroccan dishes. After the meal, we
[00:25:45] go to the mosque, God willing, because I love to go to the
[00:25:48] mosque at 102. That's where I get inspired. But I also
[00:25:51] love this mosque because it has, I love this
[00:25:54] place, but at the same time, that's where I I'm doing my
[00:25:57] bath,
[00:26:00] that's TB and that's Yassa.
[00:26:17] do you like fish? Before this huge event, Sila plans to organize
[00:26:20] the African Forum for Economic Development, which is a
[00:26:23] unique event held within the fan zone during
[00:26:27] the African Nations Cup
[00:26:29] 2025.
[00:26:32] DG of the ADS group, I think it's a very good thing
[00:26:36] to have this fan zone, it's Morocco hosting Africa,
[00:26:39] Africa hosting Africa, it's a good
[00:26:42] thing, it's football and Africa winning at the same time,
[00:26:46] that's why we support uh
[00:26:49] the initiative
[00:26:51] and I think the party will be beautiful for all of Africa,
[00:26:55] thank you, I think once again Morocco is
[00:26:59] showing its leadership, we are...
[00:27:02] friends of Morocco, because Morocco is a model of southern
[00:27:06] development, and I think that by organizing the World
[00:27:10] Cup, Morocco once again showed its
[00:27:13] leadership, and if we
[00:27:16] look today at the world, even African football, Morocco
[00:27:19] has just won most of the cups, that shows
[00:27:23] that by investing in infrastructure, in human
[00:27:27] capital, we can be a champion, I think Morocco is showing
[00:27:30] that it is...
[00:27:36] The forum will be a meeting place for economic actors,
[00:27:40] institutions, and African individuals with the aim of highlighting
[00:27:43] an enterprising, innovative,
[00:27:46] and successful friends in the world,
[00:27:49] listen, one day a
[00:27:53] guy came to see Mandela, Mandela who spent twenty years in
[00:27:56] prison, even more, and he looks at Mandela
[00:27:59] and says, "How did you manage to hold on?" for all
[00:28:03] that time, years in prison, today you're smiling, and Mandela tells
[00:28:06] him, we all have beautiful
[00:28:10] lives, I think that this is a life lesson to
[00:28:13] say that we thank the Lord every
[00:28:17] day for giving us life, and I have my
[00:28:20] friend, he often tells me, what if they
[00:28:23] gave you 10 million
[00:28:27] dollars today, they say:
