Hysteria Of Isolation Is Pursuing Morocco Ahead Of AU Summit

Morocco entered into a state of alert to the point of hysteria, ahead of the African Union summit, which will be held in the end of this month, to study the possibility of accepting the Kingdom’s accession to the African Union, as it appears from the politicians statements in Rabat that they are only trying to disrupt the summit, depending on unacceptable theses, including “our joining is to defend our territorial integrity”, and “we join them but we do not recognize them”, in reference to the SADR.

In a defiance of the Organization of the African Union frameworks, the head of the Moroccan government, Abdelilah Benkirane, said in an interview with the news website “ma360”, Sunday, that Morocco’s accession to the African Union will be in order to defend “the territorial integrity”, which means that Morocco is searching to legitimize the Moroccan occupation of the Western Sahara, an issue that is rejected by all African countries and the international community, including the United Nations, as it was described by the former General Secretary of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, during his visit last year to the refugee camps, where he called for the termination of the Moroccan colonialism.

Benkirane said that his country’s parliament held a joint session, on Sunday, in response to an invitation from the King, for “the ratification of the Law of the Ministerial Council to join the African Union”.

With the lack of Morocco’s chances to join the African Union, in an attempt to impose conditions on the Africans, including the expulsion of the Polisario Front, which is a founding member, the King is trying a new experience, to gain the trust of Africans, as from today, by hiring 20 ambassadors in the African continent, in a new visit to Ghana, Zambia and Ethiopia, to “explain the vision of the king in the development of the south-south partnership, and the role that Morocco can play in the fields of cooperation and maintaining security and peace of the continent”, despite the confirmation of Africans of Morocco’s role in prolonging the crisis in Western Sahara, which produced serious problems for them.

In parallel with this, the President of the Moroccan government said that King Mohammed VI will attend the African Union summit, telling to reporters, in the week end that; “The King will go to Addis Ababa to defend the return of Morocco to the African Union”.
