As a young African, I strongly believe the African Union (AU) must undergo serious reform—or risk becoming irrelevant. Many youth across the continent view it as a distant, outdated institution that doesn't reflect their aspirations or realities. To remain fit for purpose, the AU must streamline its bureaucracy, become more responsive to crises (like in Sudan or the Sahel), and take a firmer stance on unconstitutional power grabs. It should also embrace digital transformation and youth inclusion—not just in rhetoric but in action.
Finally, the AU must push harder for free movement and economic integration under AfCFTA. Without these changes, Africa’s next generation may look elsewhere for leadership that truly represents them.
