The Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) is a regional organization established in 1989 to promote economic integration and political cooperation among the five North African countries: Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, and Tunisia. The union aims to enhance trade, investment, and cultural ties, fostering unity and collaboration in the region. Despite its goals, the UMA has faced challenges, including political disagreements and border disputes, particularly between Algeria and Morocco. As a result, the organization has struggled to achieve its objectives, with limited progress in economic integration and joint initiatives over the years.
