The African Union has warned that the continent risks becoming a geostrategic battleground for competing big power interests.
The commission chairman, Moussa Faki Mahamat, said Africa must resist the consequences of intensifying global rivalries which threatened to create a new Cold War.
The chairman’s warning was given on the 60th anniversary of the formation of the African Union’s predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity.
China, Russia, and the United States have all sent their top diplomats to Africa this year.
Ukraine’s foreign minister is currently on a mission there.
