Three African politicians vying for the position of African Union chairperson outlined their plans for regional security and inter-Africa trade during a debate in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The candidates, hailing from Kenya, Djibouti, and Madagascar, emphasized the importance of addressing conflicts, political coups, and promoting economic cooperation within the continent.
All three candidates advocated for the allocation of two permanent seats for African countries in the U.N. Security Council to better represent the region's interests. They highlighted the need for unity among African nations to strengthen regional security and reduce reliance on external resources.
