Morocco's withdrawal
The only African state which is not a member of the African Union is Morocco which was forced out of the AU's predecessor, the OAU, in 1984 when the other African countries supported the Algerian-backed Polisario movement's claim to the lands of southern Morrocco, admitted to the OAU and AU as the Sahrawi Republic [1] [2] Some countries have removed support for the Sahrawi Republic [3], but reported political pressure for countries that still support the republic have reportedly made it difficult for Morocco to be re-admitted.

The African Union (abbreviated AU) is a international organisation consisting of 53 African member states. Founded in July 2002 in South Africa, the AU was formed as a successor to the amalgamated African Economic Community (AEC) and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). Eventually, the AU aims to have a single currency and a single integrated defence force, as well as other institutions of state, including a cabinet for the AU Head of State. The purpose of the union is to help secure Africa's democracy, human rights, and a sustainable economy, especially by bringing an end to intra-African conflict and creating an effective common market.
