African Union Summit Focuses on Water and Palestine
The 39th African Union Summit is taking place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf leads the African Union Commission.
He denounced what he called the killing of Palestinian people. The summit's main focus is water and sanitation access.
António Guterres spoke to African leaders on Saturday. He asked Africa to gain permanent representation on the United Nations Security Council. This would give Africa a stronger voice in world decisions.
Klear Note — The African Union is a group of 55 African countries working together. The UN Security Council makes big world decisions. Africa has no permanent seat there, so it has less power.
