Japan Contributes $157,000 to Development in Morocco's Errachidia, Tinghir
Doha – Three rural Moroccan communities received development aid this week as part of Japan's ongoing KUSANONE program. On June 11 and 12, Japanese Ambassador to Morocco, Masahiro Nakata, attended official handover ceremonies in Errachidia and Tinghir provinces, delivering grants totaling MAD 1,570,000 ($157,000). The KUSANONE program, which translates to 'grassroots,' targeted three specific community needs in Morocco's southeastern regions with grants for local micro-projects contributing to human security. In Errachidia province, the ALJID Agricultural Cooperative received funding for the construction of a 950-meter concrete irrigation canal in Ksar Taznakte. This project will benefit approximately 2,300 residents from 460 families in the M'daghra commune. The new irrigation system aims to strengthen the local ecosystem's resilience against climate change impacts while increasing water flow and reducing irrigation time. Importantly, it will improve local food security by expanding irrigated agricultural land. Moving to Tinghir province, the Bougafer Association for Agriculture, Environment and Sustainable Development secured support for an irrigation system upgrade in Taghia Nilmchane village within Taghzout Nait Atta commune. The project will install a solar pumping system and an economical storage basin, benefiting 460 farming families or approximately 3,800 residents. This initiative focuses on optimizing water usage to improve agricultural production profitability and expand irrigable land. The third project addresses drinking water access in Ouaklim village, also in Tinghir province. The Azag Drinking Water Association will implement improvements that will benefit around 540 families, or 5,000 residents. This initiative will ensure water availability even during dry periods, eliminate the need for women and children to transport water over long distances, and help reduce rural exodus by stabilizing the local population. These three projects represent the latest in Japan's long-standing KUSANONE program, which was established in 1989. The program primarily supports NGOs and local communities. To date, Japan has funded 374 community development projects across Morocco, with cumulative donations exceeding MAD 180 million ($18 million). The handover ceremonies were attended by local authorities and representatives from the beneficiary organizations. According to the Tokyo Embassy, this speaks to the continued cooperation between Morocco and Japan in addressing fundamental human security needs.

Air India Flight AI171 Crashes in Ahmedabad with 242 On Board
Rabat – Air India has confirmed that Flight AI171 operating the Ahmedabad-London Gatwick route crashed this morning. Just five minutes after take-off from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Airport in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the plane came barreling down into a civilian area. The aircraft took off at 1:38 p.m. local time, and the aircraft reached an altitude of approximately 625 feet before descending rapidly and crashing. Air India has confirmed that the last signal from the plane was received only a minute after take-off. A viral video circulating online shows the plane crashing behind buildings near the airport, with other images showing debris around the crash site with smoke rising from buildings in the vicinity. The plane was reportedly carrying 232 passengers and 12 crew members. No casualties have yet been reported at this time of writing, but at least 30 to 35 bodies have been recovered, as reported by Reuters. It is unlikely that there to be survivors considering the severity of the crash, and as the plane crashed into a residential area, there are also likely to be casualties on the ground. The Chief Minister of Gujarat has said that officials have been instructed to carry out immediate rescue and relief operations. Air India's Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran commented on the tragedy to the press: 'It is with profound sorrow that I confirm that Air India Flight 171 operating from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today.' Gatwick Airport confirmed that the flight should have arrived at 6:25 p.m. local time in the UK and issued a statement to families of the British passengers onboard. Air India and Reuters have confirmed that among the 232 passengers onboard, 169 are believed to be Indian, 53 British, 7 Portuguese, and one Canadian. It has also been confirmed that 11 children were on the plane at the time of the crash. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft was making the travel on routine flight. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, but at the present time, there is no indication of interference or external influence. Tags: air france crashairplane crash
