Not only that, the AU also needs to build a broad consensus and effective cooperation to respond to the three challenges facing the continent: the chaotic security and social situation, civil wars in some member states, and the impact of the foreign policy decisions of the new US administration. This is also a continent facing difficulties due to the increasingly fierce competition for influence among external partners.
These three challenges do not arise separately, but interact with each other and make the AU even more difficult and awkward. At this year's summit, the election of new leadership personnel was not difficult and complicated for the AU. It was also easy to achieve consensus among members on strengthening unity of views and coordination of actions among members as well as on improving the practical effectiveness of the AU's institutions and mechanisms.
But the biggest weakness of the AU has always been its capacity to successfully implement its great plans. The tragicomedy of the AU is that the position of the AU and Africa has continued to improve in recent years, but its capacity and potential to develop and to become a true partner on par with external partners in creating and operating cooperative relations in all fields are still insufficient and still not commensurate. The limitation in the results of this year's AU summit is that there is still no strategy to help the AU escape from the situation where its capacity is still not really following its heart.
