The African Union has condemned the recent trend of coups.
Every African leader at the AU meeting in Ethiopia, according to the AU’s commissioner for political affairs, peace and security, has categorically condemned the recent coups.
According to Bankole Adeoye, the African Union has zero tolerance for military adventurism, which is why four countries have been suspended in the last year.
However, whether these sanctions have had any effect on the military men who have seized power in Mali, Guinea, Sudan, and Burkina Faso remains to be seen.
Bankole Adeoye, speaking at a press conference, denied claims that the African Union had done nothing to address the conflict in Ethiopia, where the continental body is based.
He stated that the AU had been involved from the beginning and was currently seeking to mediate a truce.
