Algeria denounces irregularities in receiving Moroccan diplomat as permanent representative of AMU to AU

WORLD, April 17 (YPA) – Algeria denounced what it called “reckless” and “thoughtless” decision of the Chairman of the African Union (AU) Commission, Mahamat Faki, to receive the so-called “credentials” of a Moroccan diplomat falsely presenting herself as “permanent representative” of the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) to the African Union (AU), said Sunday a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad.

Algeria expressed its deep astonishment at the flippant and thoughtless decision of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mr. Mahamat Faki, to receive the so-called “credentials” of a Moroccan diplomat falsely presenting herself as the “Permanent Representative” of the Arab Maghreb Union to the African Union,” the statement said.

“This irresponsible behavior is all the more inadmissible as it comes after the Algerian authorities urged the African Union Commission to consider this alleged appointment irrelevant, which, in accordance with the texts governing the functioning of the Arab Maghreb Union, does not fall within the prerogatives of the AMU Secretary General, whose final term of office ended on 1 August 2022, with no possibility of extension, but who by this umpteenth imposture serves the agenda set by his country of residence,” the same source added.
