Africa Union

The African Union (AU) is a group of 55 African countries that work together to promote peace, security, economic development, and cooperation across the continent. Founded in 2001, it aims to address shared challenges such as conflict, poverty, and health issues, while encouraging trade and political stability. Think of it as a united team of African nations collaborating to improve the well-being of their people and ensure Africa's voice is stronger in global affairs. The AU also helps coordinate efforts during emergencies, mediates conflicts, and promotes sustainable growth throughout the continent.
