The Arab Maghreb Union (AMU) (Arabic: إتحاد المغرب العربي Ittiḥād al-Maghrib al-‘Arabī, French: Union du Maghreb Arabe) is a political union and economic union trade agreement aiming for 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.[1] 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. No high-level meetings have taken place since 3 July 2008,[2] and commentators regard the Union as largely dormant.[3][4][5]
