Two weeks ahead of the 31st African Union summit in Mauritania, Moussa Faki is expected to visit the Polisario. The Chairperson of the African Union Commission is pressured by the Front’s allies to meet Brahim Ghali in Bir Lahlou.
On its Facebook page, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that a Moroccan delegation that includes engineers, movie directors, writers and businessmen is currently visiting the Jewish state. Members of the group will meet Israeli officials and visit a series of Islamic holy sites.
It is hard to believe that during his visit to Rabat, the Chairperson of the Commission of the African Union did not talk to Moroccan officials about the Sahara conflict just three weeks before the Mauritania summit.
Four weeks before the 31st summit of the African Union, Brahim Ghali visits South Africa to better prepare for the regional gathering.
Through its media platforms, Iran gave its version of the story, about the summoning of its ambassador in Nouakchott. Its official press agency Fars News said that Tehran's diplomat was invited to the Mauritanian Foreign Ministry to deliver a message on «the USA's withdrawal from the nuclear deal».
After President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz visited Tehran in 2010, the number of Mauritanians converting to Shia Islam significantly increased. Eight years later, Nouakchott decided to change its mind.
