The Arab Weekly – Morocco set to join African Union
“It was about time Morocco reintegrated the African Union. Morocco has a will to set up an African diplomacy on economic, security and political levels. This necessarily requires an activism within the AU,” said Mountacir Zian, director-general of the Rabat-based Mediterranean Company of Analysis and Strategic Intelligence.
The 28 signatories welcomed Morocco’s call to retake its AU seat. Egypt, Mauritania and Tunisia abstained from signing the motion.
“I believe that Africa, particularly the AU, must make a choice: either to rely on strong and credible partners which can bring an added value to the continent or persist in supporting an entity that poses a real security and political problem on the Maghreb level and to some extent Africa,” Zian said.
