Flag?
From where the flag? I have never seen it in real usage nor does it appear in official usage as far as I can tell. collounsbury 17:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC).
 * As no one has replied and I have never found the flag outside of wikipedia and derived pages, I removing. The official website does not contain this flag. collounsbury (talk) 13:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes and that says nothing. There is no support for the existence of the fucking flag, other than one internet citation (that page). However, neither the websites of the AMU nor the actual physical headquarters (which I have been too on many an occasion, use the flag, nor any document of an official character.

Once again removed the fictitious flag. --collounsbury (talk) 12:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Again, removed the fictious flag. collounsbury (talk) 16:11, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Map?
the official map includes Western Sahara, thus it must be included on the wiki map!

It's not just a trade bloc
Please take a look to TREATY ESTABLISHING THE ARAB MAGHREB UNION. Article 2, 3 and 14. --Xiquet (talk) 21:32, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Confusing passage about AMU rivalries
"There have been problems of traditional rivalries within the AMU. For example, in 1994, Algeria decided to transfer the AMU presidency to Libya. This followed the diplomatic tensions between Algeria and other members, especially Morocco and Libya, whose leaders continuously refused to attend AMU meetings held in Algiers. Algerian officials justified the decision, arguing that they were simply complying with the AMU constitutive act, which stipulates that the presidency should in fact rotate on an annual basis. Algeria accepted to take over the presidency from Tunisia in 1994, but could not transfer it due to the absence of all required conditions to relinquish the presidency as stipulated by the constitutive act."


 * How did Algeria simultaneously decide to transfer the presidency and accept to take the presidency from Tunisia in 1994?


 * Why did Algeria not want to take the presidency? One would think that holding the presidency would give Algeria more power in the rivalries.


 * The sentence that starts "Algerian officials ... " should probably not be in the introductory section.
