A Continent in Crisis: How the African Union Failed Sudan and Continues to Fail the People of Africa

[Deeq A.]

Sudan is falling apart in our midst. Sudan is currently in a state of collapse, and the failure of the Union to effectively help Sudan is not a new occurrence. In the past, the African Union (AU) has similarly failed to intervene in crises in countries such as Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mali, Ethiopia, the Central African Republic, Rwanda during the genocide in 1994, South Sudan, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Chad, Liberia, and Libya. In each of these crises, the AU has taken a backseat approach, leaving the people of these countries to fend for themselves while providing extra time for dictators and warmongers to commit atrocities. In the case of Sudan, the international community led by the US and others are leading multinational efforts to bring the conflict to an end and have managed to bring the two sides to agree to ceasefire even though it fell apart later.
