AfA Topics #14

The African Union

Featuring Edwin Sosthenes

The running encyclopedia is back to discuss the African Union. Edwin takes us through the origin story of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its post-colonial struggle. Further topics in this open conversation are the goals and policies, membership qualifications, non-African influences, the vision 2063 and the challenges of African unity.

In the second part of this podcast, Edwin and I discuss the reputation of the AU among the population, comparisons with the EU and we touch upon pan-Africanism. You can find it on Patreon and Steady.
