Is AU ready to become the body Africa needs?
A delegate walks past the national flags of African Union (AU) member states during the opening of the 37th Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on February 17, 2024.
From an online post, a commentator asked an intriguing question: “If the African Union (AU) cannot create a single currency, a unified military, or a common passport, then what exactly is this union about?”.
The comment section went wild, with some people saying that AU no longer serves the interest of the African people, but rather the interests of the West and individual nations with greedy interests in Africa's resources. Some even said jokingly that it should be renamed “Western Union”.
