Moreover, the AU must build broad consensus and effective cooperation to address three major challenges facing the continent: turbulent security and social situations, civil wars in some member states, and the impact of the new US administration's foreign policy decisions.

A limitation of this year's AU summit is the lack of a comprehensive plan to help the AU escape its current predicament of insufficient strength to achieve its goals.
