"The 39th African Union (AU) summit is set to be dominated by pressing security concerns across Africa, as the continent continues to face escalating conflicts. However, there are mounting questions on whether the pan-African body can actually deliver on peace and security strategies: A study conducted by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) in 2023 revealed that a staggering 90% of the decisions made by the AU's Peace and Security Council (PSC) have not been implemented since the inception of the PSC in 2004."
"No African leadership in place to address Sudan conflict Since April 2023, Sudan has been rocked by the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces (RSF), resulting in a humanitarian and displacement crisis of extraordinary proportions: About 12 million people have been forced to flee their homes, with at least 150,000 others believed to have died in the war."
The 39th African Union summit will focus on escalating security crises across the continent. A 2023 ISS study found that 90% of Peace and Security Council decisions have not been implemented since 2004. The AU has initiated a high-level review of security, stability and governance frameworks to restructure programs for greater impact, and appetite for change is growing. Ongoing conflicts in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo are expected to dominate discussions. Since April 2023, the war in Sudan between the SAF and RSF has produced roughly 12 million displaced people and an estimated 150,000 deaths, overwhelming regional response capacity.
