Moroccan UN ambassador calls for regional anti-terrorism effort
2009-05-29
[Maghrebia] The Moroccan UN Ambassador called for intensifying regional co-operation in the fight against terrorism, MAP reported on Thursday (May 28th). Speaking during a UN debate Tuesday regarding sanctions against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, Mohamed Lolichki noted that the Maghreb region continues to be exposed to terrorist acts. Given the increasingly close links between international terrorism, organized crime and drug and human trafficking, "individual States cannot succeed without collective action at the regional and international levels", he said. The ambassador also affirmed Morocco's commitment to supporting all initiatives to eradicate the terrorism threat.
Interpol just won't cut it anymore, it seems. Good for Morocco. But then, their king traces his lineage back to Mohammad.

#1  Morocco has always been a bright spot in Africa. They were the first country to officially recognize the fledgling United States. The royal family there dates back centuries, and have always been moderate, while moving ahead with the rest of the world only with what they considered to be compatible with their Islamic faith. It also has one of the most diverse populations in Africa, and allows several Islamic sects near-total religious freedom. The Jews driven out of Spain in the early 1500s found a home in Morocco.
