According to the International Diabetes Federation’s recent statistics, Morocco is severely touched by diabetes. The numbers published on the Federation’s website indicate that 1.6 million Moroccans suffer from the disease. To generate awareness about it, the kingdom’s capital hosted last Saturday “Premix Summit”, around 250 experts reunited to exchange expertise and help with the management of the chronic disease.
The Ethiopian capital hosted on Monday a meeting of the AU Peace and Security Council. Morocco did not attend the meeting to prove that the Western Sahara conflict is a matter of the United Nations and not the African Union.
Just like last year, Morocco is slowly progressing in the 2016 Human Development Report. Ranked 123th in the world, the kingdom is still dwelling at the bottom of the list.
The Yemeni parliament reacted yesterday evening on being banned from attending the 24th conference of the Arab-Parliamentary Union organized in Rabat the 20th and 21st of March 2017. The Parliament thanked Nabih Barri, president of the Arab Inter-Parliament who was absent during the conference, for boycotting the event.
