| dc.description | The 50th Anniversary of the African Union Commission was celebrated at Africa Hall on 25 May 2013. At the event's opening, Ethiopian PM Hailemariam Desalegn spoke of "a great leap forward in the pan-African quest for freedom, independence, and unity." AU head Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma warned that conflicts could be silenced only by "solidarity and unity." The OAU, which became the African Union (AU) in 2002, had its origins in the struggle for decolonization. It was founded in Addis Ababa in 1963, the venue chosen to mark the anniversary 50 years on. But while its successor has adopted a policy of seeking African solutions to internal problems, it has been criticized for failing to respond quickly enough when rebels seized power in Mali in 2012. | en |
