A new generation of leaders is offering hope for more recognition on the world stage, an activist has told RT

African leaders gathered in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi on Sunday, for the fifth mid-year African Union (AU) coordination summit, where the 55 members’ delegations discussed harmonizing national and regional policies in order to advance socioeconomic development across the continent.

Kenyan President William Ruto used the summit to push for a new financing system for the AU that would benefit the union’s combined 1.39 billion population, as the organization works to integrate the continent into the global economy.
