"Addis Summit Sparks Concerns Over AU's Response to Ethiopia's Internal Strife"

The African Union's upcoming summit in Addis Ababa raises questions about the organization's muted stance on Ethiopia's internal conflicts and human rights violations, despite its historical ties to the country. The AU has been criticized for refraining from addressing atrocities in Ethiopia and even supporting the government's actions, possibly due to strategic partnerships and geopolitical considerations. The AU's handling of the Tigray conflict and its decision to end an inquiry into war crimes have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the organization's commitment to addressing conflicts within its host nation.
