ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA - The African Union insisted on Sunday it had "zero tolerance" for undemocratic changes of power and vowed to push through a continent-wide free trade deal as it wrapped up the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union, a two-day summit.
"The Commission is ready to support these member states to return to constitutional order, the idea is that democracy must take root and must be promoted and protected," he told a news conference. But implementation has fallen well short of that goal, running into hurdles including disagreements over tariff reductions and border closures caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
ECOWAS has also decided to impose travel bans on government officials and senior leaders in those countries, it added.
Lol half of them are in their leadership positions undemocratically so🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Sounds familiar, this statement has been used before to no effect...
