A top security organ of the African Union is asking member states to embrace free and fair elections, financed from local resources, as a long-term tool to silencing guns on the continent.
At the weekend, African Union heads of state and government converged in Addis Ababa for the first physical summit since 2020. They met under the theme Building Resilience in Nutrition and Food Security on the African Continent: Strengthen Agriculture, Accelerate the Human Capital, Social and Economic Development. Meanwhile, five countries on the continent battle the aftermath of coups.
