The African Union’s twentieth anniversary: a stock-take

2022 marks the 20th anniversary of the African Union (AU), officially launched in 2002, as a successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).

With guest Carien du Plessis, we take stock of wins and stumbles in the AU’s twenty-year history, we gauge what is likely to dominate the agenda (high-wire transitions in Chad, Sudan; more than a dozen elections on the calendar...), and perhaps what is likely to be kept on the back burner, or at least where we will see slow progress.
