The leaders of the 54-nation growing are meeting on a theme of fighting corruption as a sustainable path to Africa’s transformation.

The authoritarian Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El Sisi will start his AU presidency by underlining the good news of a trilateral peace agreement between host country Ethiopia, neighbouring Eritrea and troubled Somalia.

This thanks largely to Ethiopian Prime Minister Aby Ahmed who will play a leading role at the gathering.

El-Sisi goal as African leader is to implement the institutional changes introduced by his predecessor Rwandan President Paul Kagame.

These include an African free trade agreement and measures to make the AU less reliant on foreign development assistance.
