The African Union And The Challenges For Africa In The 21st Century
Journal Title: LAJOHIS (LASU Journal of History & International Studies) - Year 2002, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The African Union was inaugurated on July 9, 2002, in Durban, South Africa. This event marked not only the demise of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) but also ushered in anew formidable Organization well suited to face the 21st century challenges confronting the African continent. That the OAU was no longer unprogressive and inefficient to adequately solve African numerous problems was a known fact, the salient point is that the AU had been structured in a way to tackle all the inadequacies and flaws of the defunct OAU. The AU is therefore expected to chart a new and more dynamic course for the continent and its numerous peoples.
