Ifrikya FM Shortwave - 15110 kHz - Béchar, Algeria - ID in English - 06:32 UTC
I had been listening to their music broadcast on several frequencies over a few hours. At 06:30 UTC the announcer said , in French, something like "flash d'information" - I took this to be "news headlines" and the next two minutes (exactly) was all spoken programming.
At precisely 06:32 they began a 30 second ID spot and the very first ID (at 6 seconds) is in English - "Welcome to Ifrikya FM" followed by ID's in several other languages and my favorite at 20 seconds in "Ifrikya FM, la voix Afrique".
Ifrikya FM @ 06:32 UTC July 20, 2023 - 15110 kHz. 30 second YouTube clip. ID in English (and other languages) :

Received in North Florida USA on a Kenwood TS-590 and a resonant ground mounted vertical antenna over a buried radial field.

Correction, I had originally posted this transmission as coming from the Ouargla transmitter site but - my error - this frequency is coming from the Béchar, Algeria broadcast facility. I have corrected the Youtube clip description but the thumbnail will take a little longer to resolve...
