Viewers Corner News correspondent learned that Morocco has rejoined the African Union on Tuesday, January 31, 2016. Morocco quit from the African Union 33 years ago over recognition of Western Sahara (a self-declared Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) by AU. During this week African Union summit held in Addis Ababa (the headquarters of the African Union), Morocco was re-admitted to the organization and King Mohammed VI of Morocco took his seat for the first time. Morocco left the Organisation of African Unity (now African Union) in 1984 in anger because African Union accepted the Africa’s north Atlantic coast (Western Sahara) as a full-blown member.
