Artykuł ten przedstawia zabiegi władz w Rabacie, chcących pozyskać jak największą liczbę państw afrykańskich, którzy poparliby w głosowaniu na XVIII Szczycie Przywódców Afryki ideę powrotu Maroka do UA. Stąd też omawia szczegółowo marokańska rządową ofensywę dyplomatyczną w drugiej połowie 2016 roku, podkreślając zarówno jej wymiar polityczny, ekonomiczny, jak i religijny. Jego treści – wykorzystujące oficjalne marokańskie dokumenty oraz analizy zawarte w przeróżnych czasopismach, głównie afrykańskich – mają przekonać czytelnika o zręczności i skuteczności marokańskiej dyplomacji, ale jedynie w wymiarze taktycznym, jakim stało się członkostwo w Unii Afrykańskiej, jako że cel strategiczny, czyli akceptacja przez czołowe państwa świata, ONZ i UA zaboru Zachodniej Sahary – bez dogadania się z liderami POLISARIO – jest jeszcze odległy i walka o to będzie powodować kolejne podziały nie tylko w rejonie Maghrebu, ale i na całym afrykańskim kontynencie.

This article presents attempt of the Rabat authorities' to win as many African countries as possible, who would vote in favor of the return of Morocco to the UA in the 18th Summit of African Leaders. Therefore, the article discusses in detail the Moroccan government diplomatic offensive in the second half of 2016, underlining both its political, economic and religious dimensions. Its contents – using official Moroccan documents and analysis contained in various magazines, mainly African – are to convince the reader of the skill and effectiveness of Moroccan diplomacy, but only in the tactical dimension of membership in the African Union, as a strategic goal, that is acceptance by leading countries of the world, the UN and the UA of the Western Sahara – without getting along with the leaders of POLISARIO – is still distant and the fight for it will cause further divisions not only in the Maghreb region, but also throughout the African continent.
