Abstract:
For many years, since many countries obtained independence in Africa, the African Union has demonstrated a great role in the promotion of peace and peacekeeping in conflict zones in Africa. Since its inception as the Organization of African Unity (OAU), one of the body's fundamental roles has been to preach, promote, and restore peace in Africa. The African Union has also collaborated and strengthened the efforts of some regional peacekeeping groups, like the Economic Committee of West African State Monitoring Group (ECOMOG), to ensure peace and order are obtained. Thus, the African Union has been very determined to prevent conflicts across Africa, and resolve conflicts, and restore peace in conflict zones. However, despite the tremendous effort being exerted by the African Union in its peacekeeping roles, there is still much more needed for the creation of a peaceful Africa.
