Ecowas membership morocco knows fate december

It seems like you're referring to the recent development regarding Morocco's membership in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

To clarify, Morocco's bid to join ECOWAS was rejected by the organization's member states in December 2022. The decision was made during the 62nd Ordinary Session of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government, which took place in Accra, Ghana.

The rejection was largely due to concerns from some member states, particularly Nigeria, that Morocco's membership could compromise the organization's principles and goals. Nigeria, in particular, argued that Morocco's membership could lead to the erosion of ECOWAS's sovereignty and the undermining of its regional integration efforts.

Morocco had been seeking to join ECOWAS since 2016, citing its historical and cultural ties with the region, as well as its desire to strengthen economic cooperation and trade with ECOWAS member states. However, the bid was met with resistance from some member states, who argued that Morocco's membership would be a departure from the organization's original mandate and principles.

Despite the rejection, Morocco has expressed its commitment to continuing its dialogue with ECOWAS and exploring other avenues for cooperation and integration with the region.
