Summary
A session of the African Union Peace and Security Council earlier this month agreed to continue pooling resources for the African Union Standby Force, but raised concerns about the apparent low contribution from member states.
The AU Standby Force was mooted 20 years ago but slowly adopted as the policy ran into AU’s own red tape, such as the initial policy of non-interference in each other’s’ affairs as well as financial commitment.
