Does the African Union have any agenda? :: Mmegi Online

Another African Union Summit has ended and the organisation does not have anything to crow about. Apart from internal administrative meetings, the AU has not offered anything to Africa and the continent is certainly not waiting for the AU to address its numerous problems.

It is beyond me that an organisation that purports to champion the cause of African people can meet and ignore simmering disputes in its area of jurisdiction. If Zimbabwe is not an issue for the African Union, then what is?

What did the AU say about Somalia? What did they say about the Ivory Coast? They might have said a lot but they know they are incapable of influencing matters or solving problems that bedevil Africa. Instead of dealing with problems, they always issue communiqus and set up committees "to look into the problem and report back in 30 days".
