African Union part 2
Last week, my blog post was about the African Union summit and their response to Sub-Saharan Africa hosting refugees. This week, the African Union is calling for a peace conference on Libya in July of this year to try to resolve the conflict there with the aim of holding elections in October. A statement was made today (Tuesday) that said that the 55 members of the Union would like to hold an "international conference on reconciliation in Libya under the auspices of the AU and Un" during the first half of July. They are also requesting that the AU, UN, and the Libyan government take "all the necessary measures for the organization of presidential and legislative elections in Oct, 2019. In Libya, there are two rival administrations and only one of them are recognized by the UN. Running Libya has become very complicated because there are also different armed groups that are trying to become the one in power and get state wealth.
