An Algerian citizen claiming to be a Moroccan descendant of the Prophet Mohamed, established a religious sect in preparation for the end of the world. The Malaysian authorities intervened and announced that they were reportedly monitoring him and his followers.
In the absence of a Moroccan official delegation, the Justice and Charity Group and the Unity and Reform Movement attended an Islamic summit in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur. The latter was marked by tensions between Riyadh and Ankara.
