François Soudan, editorial director of Jeune Afrique, invited to the program “La Semaine de JA” of Radio France Internationale (RFI) to comment on the dispute between Morocco and Algeria over the position of Vice-President of the African Union, learned that there are four women in the running for the position of “AU No. 2”, including Moroccan Latifa Akhabah and Algerian Selma Malika Haddadi. “When we know the level of tension between Algeria and Morocco, which was sadly illustrated by the dispute between the two countries’ diplomats in Tokyo a few days ago, we do not think they will help each other”. This position should go to North Africa.

This is not the first time that Morocco and Algeria have competed for the position of AU Vice-President. In 2022, the lack of consensus caused the position of First Vice-President to remain vacant. Both Kenya and Comoros were eyeing the position, but Nairobi finally gave in. In order to prevent Comoros, which is considered to have close ties with Morocco, from becoming the chairman of the organization, Algiers invited Kenya as a candidate at the last minute. Last year, Rabat and Algiers submitted their candidacy, but the position of “AU No. 2” that was supposed to be filled has remained vacant since then. In addition to the position of Vice-President, there is also competition for the position of Chairman of the African Union Commission. Who will be the successor to Chad’s Moussa Faki Mahamat?
