The 2026 African Union Summit is convening in Addis Ababa on February 13th, bringing together heads of state to address critical issues facing the continent. The summit's central theme focuses on water and climate change. Discussions are also expected to address ongoing conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Sahel region. A key point of contention will likely be Israel's recent recognition of Somaliland, which has raised concerns about border integrity and regional stability within the African Union. The summit aims to find solutions to these pressing challenges.
