“It is time for the AU to take strong decisions to exclude this entity and to support the Moroccanness of the Sahara,” said the former head of Comorian diplomacy, in a statement to MAP, on the sidelines of his participation in the 15th edition of the MEDays Forum.
Mr. El Maceli recalled that the so-called “rasd”, which is not recognized by any regional or international organization, is a non-state entity that must no longer be a member of the African Union.
He also stressed that the Kingdom plays a fundamental role in resolving crises and supporting sustainable development in Africa, welcoming the comprehensive development taking place in Morocco under the visionary leadership of HM King Mohammed VI. The African continent can learn from Morocco’s experience and achievements to accelerate its progress.
Referring to the MEDays Forum, the former Comorian minister noted that it is a platform for discussing pressing issues affecting the planet and Africa, as well as for better understanding current and future challenges.
The 15th edition of the MEDays International Forum, themed “Polycrisis, Polyworld”, brings together more than 200 high-level speakers, including heads of state and government, political decision-makers, Nobel Prize winners, heads of major international companies, and leading international figures.
