Rabat, Feb 18 (IANS) Moroccan monarch, King Mohammed VI, is touring Mali, Guinea Conakry, Cote d'Ivoire and Gabon as part of a diplomatic swing through sub-Saharan and West Africa amid speculation it could lead to the return of Morocco to the African Union. Morocco was one of the first African states that contributed to the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). However, Morocco pulled out of the organisation in 1984 to protest the admission of the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Since then, there have been increasing calls for Morocco to return to the **w African Union.
