The Moroccan government has recognized the Libyan opposition as the legitimate representative of the North African country’s people.
The official MAP news agency says Morocco’s foreign minister, Taib Fassi Fihri, met Wednesday with the president of the National Transitional Council, which represents the rebels who are trying to topple strongman Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.
Fassi Fihiri arrived Tuesday in the rebel capital of Benghazi, Libya, with a message from the Moroccan king, congratulating the rebels on their progress toward “realizing the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people.”
Morocco is one of a handful of Arab countries that have joined the NATO campaign of airstrikes against Gadhafi’s regime.
