New leadership, Covid-19 dominated agenda
tHE 34th ordinary session of the African Union (AU) Assembly took place without the usual fanfare.
Apart from the transition of the leadership of the AU Assembly from South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa to Felix tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and an update on the institutional reform of the AU, the summit focused, in the main, on the election of the new leadership of the AU Commission and Africa’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
