Addis-Ababa – Ethiopia supports the decision of Morocco to rejoin the African Union (AU) as early as the next AU Summit, to be held in January 2017. During the 27th summit of the African Union held in Kigali, Rwanda, last July, the Moroccan monarch announced Morocco’s intention to reunite with African family. Following the letter that the King sent to the AU’s summit, 28 countries submitted a motion to the organization and called for suspending the membership of the Polisario’s SADR. In the speech he delivered to the nation on the 17 anniversary of his coronation on July 30, 2016, King Mohammed VI reiterated Morocco’s decision to return to the African Union. Morocco needs the majority of two thirds to join the African Union.
