Cairo is hosting the second meeting of the African Union Specialized Technical Committee on Transport, Transcontinental and Interregional Infrastructure, Energy and Tourism. The event is attended by Morocco's Secretary of State to Minister of Transport Najib Boulif and a Polisario delegation.
Earlier this week, reports suggested that members of the Polisario Front and a Moroccan delegation at the African Union clashed at the Pan-African Parliament in Midrand (South Africa). Noureddine Karbal, PJD MP and a member of the Moroccan delegation that took part to the meeting spoke to Yabiladi about the underlying reasons behind this clash.
South Africa has joined the African Union presidential troika on the Sahara. Rabat will have to pay close attention to the presidential election in South Africa, which will shape the country’s position on the regional conflict.
Commemorating the 43rd anniversary of the Green March, King Mohammed VI called on Algeria to join the creation of «a political mechanism for dialogue and consultation». For Minister delegate in charge of African Cooperation Mohcine Jazouli, the neighboring country «must reply favorably» to the royal proposition.
