The bloc, formed 20 years ago to promote international cooperation and harmonise member states policies, has struggled to address six coups or attempted coups in Africa over the past 18 months, and the power grabs are high on the summit agenda.
In July, Faki unilaterally accepted Israel’s request for observer status at the AU, prompting criticism by South Africa,whose ruling party strongly backs the Palestinian cause.It is unclear if leaders will vote or merely discuss the issue. Sharon Bar-li, head of the Africa division in Israel’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, declined to comment.
This AU SUMMIT agenda echos the West . What's happening with the AU PASSPORT that's been unveiled by former President J Zuma ? In whose office lies it's implementation ? Africans demands Roll Out of AU Passport as soon as the end of this summit .
Top on their agenda should be the issue of BIAFRA . And the Leader of IPOB still held in detention in Nigeria . After his extraordinary rendition by the duo of Kenya /Nigeria govts. More important than Covid 19 is HR abuse by both states .
African Union leaders should try having meetings in a shack in the townships, use the pit or pot toilets that shack dwellers use, enjoy using water from bows and eat what shack dwellers are many times forced to eat. These meetings will be very short no doubt.
They need to add migration and economic improvements
We want One Africa army ❤️
