Arab Maghreb Union Secretary General: Union had no Emphatic Role in Libyan Crisis.

Tripoli, 18 February 2018(Lana) The Secretary General of the Arab Maghreb Union Al Tayeb Al Bakoush said the union had no decisive role in the Libyan crisis citing absence of the Union at international forums especially the African Union. When I took over as Secretary General of the Arab Maghreb Union he found that all African gatherings had signed agreements of cooperation with the African Union except the Arab Maghreb Union which did not, hence its absence from the Libyan issue, Al Bakoush said in statements following a meeting with GNA Foreign Minister Mohamed Siala here today. The 2017 was the year when the Union signed up with the African Union and also with Comesa in which Libya is a prominent member, Al Bakoush said, noting that the move would give the Union's general secretariat a place at international forums and thus empower it to assume a vital role to contribute to the solution of the Libyan crisis. =Lana=
