Morocco Wants To Return To The African Union After 32 Years

Morocco has officially announced its intention to rejoin the African Union, 32 years after leaving the organisation. Moroccan King Mohammed-the-sixth has appealed to the A-U, saying it's time for his country to return to its 'institutional family'. He's also sent a special envoy to the A-U summit in Kigali. Morocco left the regional bloc in 1984, after the organisation recognized the independence of the Western Sahara.
