ECOWAS held another extraordinary summit without giving a final answer to Morocco’s bid to join the regional economic union of fifteen countries located in West Africa.

Being a member of an economic organization the size of ECOWAS requires time, and therefore a lot of patience. This is what Morocco is learning, in its own way, by appointing a panel of heads of state to decide on the implications of its integration into the regional grouping.
Jeune Afrique has released Morocco’s membership impact study on the ECOWAS organization. The document mainly reminded head of states that the kingdom is already present in the region through its investments, banks, exports and imports. If accepted as a member of the regional organization, Morocco will bring its experience in maintaining peace and security fighting against terrorist groups. However, the step is still raising cencerns in the region.
Warm-blooded animals that managed to survive mass extinction events lived in Morocco 222 million years ago. A study released yesterday suggests that a number of fossils found previously in the Kingdom belong to the first kind of mammals that were able to maintain body heat.
Extra-virgin olive oil, the main component of the Mediterranean diet is proved to be one of the healthiest foods that can preserve memory and protects the brain against Alzheimer. The study revealing this revolutionary discovery and published by Temple University Health System suggests that extra-virgin olive oil, mostly consumed and produced in Morocco, boosts learning abilities.
