Thank you very much for the question.
Last year, the African Union decided to send 5,000 soldiers to Burundi. However, that decision was never brought into effect, firstly, because Burundi opposed it, but also, in my view, because the country got support from a presidents' club. These presidents came to support the Burundian government's position, and as a result, the measure was never implemented.
To be honest, yes, the African Union exists, and can help, but I don't see how it can succeed without a push from the other members of the international community, led by the UN Security Council, and the other countries, speaking out. After all, as I said earlier, the world has become a global village; it's become so small that information gets around very quickly. This means that if there's a way to do something good and speak out, the message can be heard by receptive ears somewhere, and can bring about change.
To answer your question, the African Union has dragged its feet for too long. I don't know if it will ever manage to get something done. Moreover, for a year and a half, the president of Burundi has not attended any meetings outside the country. How do you think the African Union will arrive at a decision in the president's absence? It's a boycott. I think the negative solidarity will keep the African Union bogged down. In the meantime, human lives will continue to be snuffed out, with no end in sight.
