The 39th African Union summit has recently concluded, bringing together heads of state and government from across Africa to discuss various crises affecting the continent. Notable among the discussions was the strong stance taken against unconstitutional changes of power, a topic emphasized by both the newly elected AU chair, Burundian President Évariste Ndayishimiye, and the AU Commission Chair, Djiboutian Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, during a final press conference. This commitment comes in light of ongoing political transitions in countries like Guinea and Gabon, where military leaders have taken control.
