An English Organisation to Sponsor a Maghrebi Forum Regarding the Disputes in the Maghreb[/center]

A number of students have received invitations from the English NGO “Talk Tall” inviting them to participate in a youth forum bringing together Sahrawi, Algerian and Mauritanian youth. The forum, which is funded by the said organisation, will be held in England on 5th August 2009. This meeting will concentrate on the disputes in the Maghreb region. Among the participants will be Sahrawi youth from Tindouf Camps, most of whom are Cuban educated.

Dr. Abderrahmane AL Makkaoui, an expert in military studies, has been approached in order to brief the Moroccan youth before their trip to participate at the scheduled meeting, to ensure they are aware of the Sahara dossier and its implications, considering that the Sahara issue is expected to feature largely in the debate.

In this regard, Dr. Al Makkaoui, alerts us to the importance of grassroots and parallel diplomacy, two areas that Morocco could do more on, given that Algeria and the Polisario have capitalised on these two areas on the international arena.
