Twice a year, African Union (AU) heads of state meet at summit level to discuss and decide on the continent’s most pressing priorities. There were many burning issues on the 28th AU Summit agenda including the conflict in South Sudan, tensions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, instability in Mali and the Sahel, turmoil in Libya and the war on al-Shabaab in Somalia.
This View on Africa is presented by ISS consultant Liesl Louw-Vaudran who attended the 28th AU Summit in Addis Ababa. She will reflect on the results of the election of the AU Commission's top staff including the commissioner and what this means for the continent.
