Introduction to the Issue. The African Union, the continent's leading regional organization, is hosting its annual summit in Ethiopia. The summit aims to address critical issues affecting the continent's 1.4 billion people. However, the AU is increasingly losing popularity among the continent's youth, who feel sidelined by the organization's focus on old leaders rather than citizen-driven initiatives. ## Challenges Facing the AU. The AU faces challenges like election disputes, military coups, and foreign aid cuts, which underscore a legitimacy crisis and calls for accountability.
