  • World : Moroccan National among Survivors of Bus Accident in Saudi Arabia - Media

    The same source stressed that the Moroccan citizen is currently admitted to a hospital in the region to receive the necessary treatment, adding that the Moroccan expressed in statements to the channel his gratitude to the Saudi authorities and the Emir of Asir Province for the help and assistance provided to the injured in this accident.  He will leave the hospital tomorrow, Wednesday, to return to Morocco on Thursday, according to the same source.

    Saudi media revealed the details of the tragic bus accident. According to them, the tragedy occurred on the link Aqaba Shaar between the city of Abha and the governorate of Muhayil Asir, where the mountain roads of the province are called Aqaba, derived from the difficulty of the narrow road opened in the mountains through tunnels and bridges, as well as deep slopes.

    The bus, which was carrying about 50 passengers, overturned while crossing the Aqaba Shaar road, which is about 14 kilometers long, due to a malfunction in the bus's brakes, according to initial reports.

    The accident caused the bus to fall down a slight slope on the side of the road and catch fire before Civil Defense teams, ambulances and firefighters arrived at the scene and began extinguishing the fire and rescuing the passengers.

  • Economy : First Flight from Madrid Arrives in Essaouira

    This air link, the first connecting Essaouira with a Spanish city, is the result of efforts made by the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT), in partnership with the Provincial Tourism Council (CPT), and the campaign "Morocco Land of Lights", including the tour light Act II, which aimed to boost Moroccan tourism and reposition the various destinations of the Kingdom on the Iberian market.

    In this sense, the president of the CPT Essaouira, Redwane Khanne, said that Madrid has a special character given its position as a hub of Europe but especially to other continents (Latin America and North America), stressing that this new route, which will be provided at a rate of two weekly flights (Monday and Friday), will allow the Moroccan city to conquer new markets and diversify its customers.

    Another flight linking Essaouira to Las Palmas will be scheduled by the company Binter Canarias in July, while another from Barcelona is under negotiation, he told MAP, noting that the link with Bordeaux, France, will resume early April.

  • General : Geneva: Morocco Set up Executive Program to Improve Expatriates' Conditions - Minister

    The process led by the Kingdom is part of the special attention and care given by HM King Mohammed VI to the Moroccan expatriates, to strengthen their ties with their country and consolidate their participation in the development process, said the Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment and Skills, Younes Sekkouri, who spoke at the 36th session of the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers devoted to the review of the second periodic report on the implementation of the International Convention on the subject.

    Presenting the record of the Kingdom in managing the migration issue since 2013, the minister stressed that Moroccan workers living abroad and their families are a national priority in terms of monitoring and support from relevant institutions.

    According to the official, Morocco has put in place an integrated strategy to develop and improve its consular services abroad, including through digitizing several services, in order to protect the rights of Moroccans living abroad and optimize the efficiency of these services.

    This strategy has allowed the support of vulnerable categories among Moroccan migrants, such as prisoners and the elderly, as well as intervention in times of crisis, said Sekkouri, citing, as an example, the return to the country of residence of 77,000 Moroccan citizens living abroad and the repatriation to Morocco of more than 18,235 people.

    In addition, the Minister said that the competent public authorities are responsible for ensuring the control of agencies operating in Morocco in the field of international mediation of employment and improve their governance to protect the rights of workers abroad against any violation or exploitation, either by subjecting these agencies to the control of labor inspectors in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code and the Convention No. 181 of the International Labor Organization on private employment agencies, or by intensifying bilateral cooperation, especially with labor importing countries.

  • Social : Upgrading Legal Framework for Migration at Heart of Morocco's Proactive, Humane Policy – Minister

    The Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment and Skills, Younes Sekkouri, has reviewed the achievements accumulated at the national level since 2013, in a presentation at the 36th session of the Committee on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families, on the occasion of the review of the 2nd periodic report on the implementation of the international convention on this subject.

    Sekkouri recalled, on this occasion, the support provided by Morocco to international and regional efforts related to the migration governance, contributing to the development of several pioneering initiatives, such as the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, adopted at a conference held in December 2018 in Morocco under the auspices of the United Nations.

    At the African level, the Kingdom's efforts and initiatives were crowned by the appointment of HM King Mohammed VI as "Leader of the African Union (AU) on the issue of Migration", on the occasion of the 28th AU Summit of Heads of State and Government (January 2017).

    This is a recognition of the Sovereign’s efforts in the field of migration in Africa and His insightful vision on this issue, having allowed in particular the creation of the African Observatory on Migration (OAM), which is a mechanism to support migration and a concretization of Morocco’s role as a leader on the continent in the issues of migration, said Sekkouri.

    The minister, who chairs the Moroccan delegation composed of representatives of all sectors concerned with migration, noted that the efforts made by the Kingdom at the international and regional level for the management and promotion of migration governance and protection of migrants' rights, are based on an unwavering commitment, which is reflected in the national policy on migration and asylum.

    Adopted in 2013, in accordance with the vision and high guidance of HM King Mohammed VI, on the establishment of a new migration policy according to a human and multidimensional approach, this policy, said the Minister, has integrated axes, relating to the upgrading of the legal framework of migration, asylum and the fight against human trafficking, the regularization of the legal situation of migrants, the processing of asylum applications and the development of a national strategy in the field of migration and asylum.

Meeting in Marrakech to Follow Up on 'Tangier Appeal' to Expel So-Called 'sadr' from AU

28 January 2023 Printable Version
Marrakech - Former African Prime Ministers and Ministers, signatories of the "Solemn Appeal for the expulsion of the +so-called sadr+ from the African Union", called "Tangier Appeal", held on Saturday in Marrakech their first meeting to follow up on this Appeal signed on November 04, 2022.

During this meeting, they reiterated their full commitment to work together and in coordination for the expulsion of this non-state entity from the African Union (AU).

These former African Prime Ministers and Ministers also considered that this expulsion, legitimate from a legal point of view, should not be considered as an unattainable goal because it is part of a favorable continental and international dynamic, where realism and pragmatism prevail, and because it represents an essential prerequisite for the return of the impartiality and credibility of the Pan-African Organization on the Moroccan Sahara issue.

Based on the various recommendations of the Pan-African Reflection Campaign on the challenges facing the AU with regard to the Moroccan Sahara issue, which were discussed at five sub-regional seminars held between May and October 2021 in Nouakchott, Dakar, Accra, Dar es Salaam and Dakar, Accra, Dar Es-Salaam and Kinshasa, the signatories of the "Solemn Appeal for the expulsion of the +so-called sadr+ from the African Union", discussed a draft "White Paper" that they adopted unanimously, after having made their valuable contributions.

This "White Paper", entitled "The African Union and the Moroccan Sahara issue, Final Deliverable of a Deep and Inclusive Pan-African Reflection", is the outcome of the Pan-African Campaign and the faithful reflection of the debates held during the various meetings and seminars.

This "White Paper" develops an irrefutable factual and historical argument. It is a legal and political reference document, which materializes a vision of a united Africa and a renewed Pan-Africanism, far from the ideologies of another time.

It is also a plea that the so-called "sadr", imposed on the sole Organization of the African Union, is not a state entity since it has none of the qualifying attributes of a "state".

In addition, the document adds, the so-called "sadr", based in Algerian territory, is subject to a higher sovereignty, that of Algeria.

Moreover, it is a non-state entity with no international legal responsibility and its admission to the OAU is a legal coup, in blatant violation of its Charter.

The admission of the "sadr" to the OAU took place in a particular context, at a time when the continent was in the grip of various ideological currents that are now obsolete.

The "White Paper" also notes that by admitting the so-called "sadr", the OAU has prejudged, in all partiality, the outcome of a process, described as a "regional solution", just as the presence of the so-called "sadr" within the OAU and then the AU, has distanced the organization from the treatment of the Sahara issue.

Furthermore, the document notes that Decision 693 taken by the AU at the Nouakchott Summit in July 2018, attests to the exclusivity of the UN process in the search for a "just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution", noting that the so-called "sadr" » without effectiveness due to its non-state character, does not bring any added value to the AU and is a source of division rather than unity.

The "White Paper" admits that the presence within the AU of the so-called "sadr", a non-state emanation of an armed separatist group, illustrates the institutional vulnerability of the Organization and represents an undeniable brake on regional and continental economic integration.

During this First Follow-up Meeting, three new African countries signed the "Solemn Call for the expulsion of the so-called sadr from the African Union", known as the "Tangier Appeal". They are Lesotho, Madagascar and Gambia.

The "Tangier Appeal" had been signed on November 04, 2022, by former prime ministers and African ministers, including the following list:

1- Augusto António Artur da Silva, former Prime Minister of Guinea-Bissau.

2- Dileita Mohamed Dileita, former Prime Minister of Djibouti.

3- Martin Ziguélé, former Prime Minister of the Central African Republic.

4- Mohamed Abdirizak Mohamud, former Foreign Minister of Somalia.

5- Alpha Barry, former Foreign Minister of Burkina Faso.

6- Lutfo Dlamini, former Foreign Minister of Eswatini.

7- Jean-Marie Ehouzou, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Benin.

8- Fahmi Saïd Ibrahim El Maceli, former Foreign Minister of the Comoros.

9- Gbehzohngar Milton Findley, former Foreign Minister of Liberia.

10- Régis Immongault Tatangani, former Foreign Minister of Gabon.

11- Francis Kasaila, former Foreign Minister of Malawi.

14- Léonard She Okitundu Lundula, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of the Democratic Republic of Congo

15- Mamadi Touré, former Foreign Minister of Guinea.

16- Rafael Tuju, former Foreign Minister of Kenya.

 

Here follows the list of the new signatories of the "Tangier Appeal":

 

17- Lesego Makgothi, former Foreign Minister Affairs of the Kingdom of Lesotho.

18- Lamine Kaba Badjo, former Foreign Minister of the Republic of Gambia.
