Marrakech hosted, this Saturday, January 28, 2023, the first follow-up meeting of the “Tangier Appeal” launched on November 4, 2022 for the expulsion of the pseudo-SADR from the African Union. Three new African countries have signed on this occasion this Appeal. As a reminder, the signatories are composed of former prime ministers and foreign ministers of various countries of the African Union (AU).

Three former foreign ministers from Lesotho, Madagascar, and the Gambia signed this appeal at the first follow-up meeting for the “Tangier Appeal,” which was signed on November 4, 2022, in Tangier.

They are Patrick Rajoelina, a former foreign minister of Madagascar, Mr. Lesego Makgothi, a former foreign minister of the Kingdom of Lesotho, and Lamine Kaba Badjo, a former foreign minister of the Republic of Gambia.

With these new countries, the number of signatories now stands at 19 countries.

It should be recalled that the “Tangier Appeal” was signed by former Prime Ministers and former African ministers from Guinea-Bissau, Djibouti, Central African Republic, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Estonie, Benin, Comoros, Liberia, Gabon, Malawi, Cape Verde, Senegal, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea and Kenya.

The signatories of the “Solemn Call for the expulsion of the pseudo SADR from the African Union”, known as the “Tangier Call”, held on Saturday in Marrakech, their First Meeting to follow up on this Call.

During this meeting, they reaffirmed their full commitment to work in concert and coordination for the exclusion of this non-state entity from the African Union.

The former African Prime Ministers and Ministers also believed that this exclusion, which is legitimate from a legal standpoint, should not be seen as an impractical goal because it fits into a positive continental and international dynamic where realism and pragmatism rule, and because it is a necessary condition for the Pan-African Organization to regain its objectivity and credibility on the Moroccan Sahara issue.
