Abstract

The Iraqi aggression against the State of Kuwait on August 2، 1990 brought about radical changes at all regional and global levels. This has had a profound impact on most political، economic, and societal aspects. Especially in the Arab world، despite this، not all countries were united in their condemnation of the Iraqi aggression The Maghreb Union (Libya-Tunisia-Algeria-Morocco-Mauritania)، the newly established 1989، was a model for the divergence of political visions and positions. At a time when Morocco strongly condemned the condemnation, it reached the point of participating in military forces to deter Iraqi aggression.

   We find Mauritania standing on the side of Iraq from first sight، While Libya، Tunisia and Algeria، condemned the aggression in theory and not in practice، but with the first strikes of the allied forces led by the United States on January 16، 1991، on Iraq، The five countries of the Maghreb Union united in condemning the aggression against Iraq، and made it clear that the goal was the liberation of Kuwait، not the destruction of Iraq.

   They explained that the goal is the liberation of Kuwait، not the destruction of Iraq، and whatever the political positions and the accounts of each country are، The whole world has been afflicted with a deep crack، the effects of which are still present politically، economically and socially.
