Now this is out of the blue. ...one thing that has always stuck out in my studies of Africa is that morrocco was absent in the African Union. In addition to them pulling a Turkey(the country) by courting the european union for admission.

RABAT: Morocco’s government said on Monday it would end economic cooperation with the European Union if the bloc does not honor a farming deal, weeks after an EU court ruled that trade accords do not apply to the disputed Western Sahara region.

EU to uphold Morocco farm accord despite Western Sahara ruling

BRUSSELS, Feb 7 (Reuters) - The European Union promised on Tuesday to maintain a farm deal with Morocco, seeking to reassure Rabat that the accord was not endangered by an EU court ruling that the country's trade accords do not apply to the disputed Western Sahara region.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini made their pledge to Morocco's Deputy Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Brussels, a day after Rabat threatened to end economic ties with the bloc if there was any change to the accord.
"Appropriate measures would be taken where necessary to secure the implementation of the free-trade agreement for processed agricultural products and fishery products between the European Union and Morocco," the EU said in a statement.
An EU official said the bloc had not changed its position, despite the European Court of Justice ruling in December that deals involving trade of agricultural products and fisheries between the EU and Morocco did not apply to Western Sahara.
Western Sahara, which has significant phosphate reserves and offshore fishing, has been contested since 1975 when Spain, the former colonial power, withdrew. Morocco fought a 16-year war with the Polisario group, which established a self-declared republic there.
The European Union is seeking a political solution acceptable to Western Sahara and to Morocco, while respecting United Nations principles, the EU official said.​

It's unsurprising. Morocco is making moves which will make the dominant economy in North Africa.

The only African country not to belong to the AU, Morocco left its predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity, in 1984 after the body recognised the independence of Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara.

Morocco submitted its bid to rejoin last year, reportedly in the hope that being inside the AU would bring it diplomatic gains against Western Sahara's independence movement - the Polisario Front - and allow it to lobby against Western Sahara's membership in the AU.

But Baali said Morocco had been re-admitted "with the understanding that Western Sahara will remain a member of the AU".
