economic and future political unity among arab countries that are located primarily in the maghreb in north africa its members are the nations of algeria libya mauritania morocco and tunisia 4 the union has been unable to achieve tangible progress on its goals due to deep economic and political disagreements between morocco and algeria regarding among others the issue of western sahara 5 no high level meetings have taken place since 3 july 2008 6 and commentators regard the union as largely dormant 7 8 9 creation edit the idea for an economic union of the maghreb began with the independence of tunisia and morocco in 1956 it was not until thirty years later though that five maghreb states algeria libya mauritania morocco and tunisia met for the first maghreb summit in 1988 10 the union was established on 17 february 1989 when the treaty was signed by the member states in marrakech 10 11 according to the constitutive act its aim is to guarantee cooperation with similar regional institutions to take part in the enrichment of the international dialogue to reinforce the independence of the member states and to safeguard their assets strategic relevance of the region is based on the fact that collectively it boasts large phosphate oil and gas reserves and it is a transit centre to southern europe the success of the union would therefore be economically important 12 organization edit there is a rotating chairmanship within the amu which is held in turn by each nation the current secretary general is the tunisian taïeb baccouche 13 14 members edit during the 16th session of the amu foreign ministers held on 12 november 1994 in algiers egypt applied to join the amu grouping algeria libya mauritania morocco tunisia economy edit the economy of the amu combines the economies of four out of five member states clarification needed all countries are predominantly arab and muslim states the four out of five amu countries have a combined gdp at purchasing power parity ppp of us 1 5276 trillion 15 the richest country on the basis of gdp per capita at ppp is algeria on the basis of per capita gdp nominal libya is the richest country with incomes exceeding us 65 803 per capita 15 economies of amu members country gdp nominal 15 gdp ppp 15 gdp nominal per capita gdp ppp per capita hdi 3 algeria 317 173 941 544 6 628 19 677 0 763 libya 52 453 141 260 6 962 18

operations edit there have been problems of traditional rivalries within the amu for example in 1994 algeria decided to transfer the presidency of the amu to libya citation needed this followed the diplomatic tensions between algeria and other members especially morocco and libya whose leaders continuously refused to attend amu meetings held in algiers citation needed algerian officials justified the decision arguing that they were simply complying with the amu constitutive act which stipulates that the presidency should in fact rotate on an annual basis citation needed algeria agreed to take over the presidency from tunisia in 1994 but could not transfer it due to the absence of all required conditions to relinquish the presidency as stipulated by the constitutive act citation needed following the announcement of the decision to transfer the presidency of the union the libyan leader muammar gaddafi stated that it was time to put the union in the freezer 16 this raised questions about libya s position towards the union the concern was that libya would have a negative influence on the manner in which it would preside over the organization 12 moreover traditional rivalries between morocco and algeria and the unsolved question of western sahara s sovereignty have blocked union meetings since the early 1990s despite several attempts to re launch the political process western sahara a former spanish colony that was invaded by morocco and mauritania has declared independence as the sahrawi arab democratic republic the latest top level conference in mid 2005 was derailed by morocco s refusal to meet due to algeria s vocal support for sahrawi independence algeria has continuously supported the polisario front liberation movement 12 several attempts have been made notably by the united nations to resolve the western sahara issue in mid 2003 the un secretary general s personal envoy james baker proposed a settlement plan also referred to as the baker plan ii the un s proposal was rejected by morocco and accepted by the sahrawi arab democratic republic as far as bilateral attempts are concerned very little has been achieved as morocco continues to refuse any concessions that would allow the independence of western sahara while algeria maintains its support for the self determination of the sahrawis 12 in addition the quarrel between gaddafi s libya and mauritania has not made the task of reinvigorating the organization any easier mauritania has accused the libyan secret service of being involved in a 2003 attempted coup against president maaouya ould sid ahmed taya libya has denied all the accusation 17 18 by 2023 the single currency project in the area remained technically feasible but politically infeasible 19 in april 2024 algeria tunisia and libya discussed the establishment of a new north african entity supposed to replace the arab maghreb union which they consider inoperative without morocco and mauritania it was decided that joint working groups will be created to coordinate efforts on the security of common borders in the face of irregular migration and the establishment of major joint investment projects on cereal production as well as water desalination of sea water in the face of climate change and the free movement of goods and people between the three countries 20 in november 2024 algerian president abdelmadjid tebboune invited kais saied president of tunisia mohamed ould ghazouani president of mauritania mohamed al menfi president of the libyan presidential council and ibrahim ghali president of the sahrawi republic to attend the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the declaration of 1 november 1954 this meeting is seen as the beginning of a new union with the notable absence of morocco and mauritania citation needed a third tripartite summit between tunisia libya and algeria was held in tripoli 21 in january 2025 22 see also edit africa portal maghrebis african
