The annual African Union summit is to start in Accra, Ghana, today. The summit, which will last for three days, is to discuss the prospects for greater unity and help boost the fight against poverty on the world's poorest continent.
The summit stands as a symbol of Africa's freedom from slavery, colonialism and apartheid. Libya and its allies want to force through a United States of Africa with no borders, a single state with one president and one passport.
On the margins of this summit are the Darfur crisis and the deployment of the hybrid force in Sudan will also be discussed.
South Africa and Algeria will also come under the peer review spotlight. President Thabo Mbeki is among leaders of the 53 African countries attending the summit.
