Casablanca Group

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAS : Casablanca Group

The Casablanca Group was an organization of "progressive states" founded in 1961. It gathered Nasser's Egypt, Ghana — led by Kwame Nkrumah, leading proponent of Pan-Africanism —, Sékou Touré's Guinea, Mali, Libya or Morocco for a short period — left-wing prime minister Abdallah Ibrahim had just been dismissed. The Casablanca Group merged into the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) created in 1963.
