The AU Debate is On

June 13, Ghana - It was a fitting tribute to Ghana’s first president  
and pioneer of the formation of the Organisation of African Unity,  
forbear of the African Union, that on the day the mortal remains of  
his wife Fathia were interred beside him, Ghanaians from all walks of  
life gathered at the Teachers” Hall, Accra, for a non-partisan debate  
on the goal of achieving Africa’s integration by 2025.

African Monitor Response to the G8 Summit Declaration

by Archbishop Njongo Ndungane, President and Founder – African Monitor

11 June 2007, Cape Town - Leaders of the G8 countries met in  
Heiligendamm, Germany between the 6th and 8th June 2007 to deliberate

Africa is central to the agenda of this summit is appreciated.  
Furthermore, the efforts to strengthen the partnership with Africa by  
ensuring that the G8 supports activities that have been targeted and  
prioritized by the African governments is a progressive step.   
Despite this however, the outcomes of this summit have been  
disappointing.
