The Global African: African Union Highlights 🌍

Each week on “The Global African” host Bill Fletcher, Jr. addresses issues facing Africa and the African Diasporas. Today's program discusses the African Union (AU), a Pan-African organization with 54 member nations and whose charter proclaims that its mission is to serve and unite the countries of Africa toward regional integration, peace, and prosperity. But who does the AU really serve? Do the ruling elites have their own agenda? Fletcher discusses these and other issues with Pan-Africanist advocate Dr. Gnaka Lagoke and Dr. Zachariah Mampilly, director of Africana studies at Vassar College. teleSUR
