Israel, Rwanda and the African Union

by Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report Contributing Editor https://blackagendareport.com/israel-africa-0 On February 18, at the annual summit of the African Union, AU security personnel removed an Israeli delegate who had arrived without an invitation. In 2021, the AU granted Israel observer status, but outcry among members led to suspension of the decision and formation of a committee to review it.
