The Morning Call
Morocco left the African Union in 1984 as a protest against the admission of the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), a Polisario group, as a member. Morocco officially filed a request to rejoin the AU in September.
And the move has been supported by 28 countries, which submitted a motion to the organization, and called for the freezing of Polisario’s membership in the AU. Meanwhile, pundits have argued that the reintegration of the African Union will enable the country to unveil the artificial nature of the Moroccan Sahara conflict.
