=== African Union ===

The [[African Union]] is the main continental organization in Africa. It was launched in 2002 as the successor to the Organization of African Unity, which had been founded in 1963. The African Union promotes continental cooperation, peace and security, development, political coordination, human rights, and economic integration.

The organization includes 55 member states, including the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. It operates through institutions such as the Assembly, the Executive Council, the African Union Commission, the Peace and Security Council, the Pan-African Parliament, and judicial and human rights bodies.

During the late Tanoan period, the African Union had limited effective access to several territories under Tanoan influence. After the collapse of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] in 2024, African Union institutions and regional organizations became involved in monitoring, investigation, legal cooperation, and reconstruction discussions in affected areas.
