2014 African Union Summit

The 2014 African Union Summit was a meeting among African Union members with regards to a single currency as well as discussions on African Investment Authority.

The summit was called by Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi leading to controversy as the country was still deep in civil war and the majority of its assets remained frozen.

= Initial Reaction = The reaction from other AU members states was mixed. Congolese President Joseph Kabila showed immediate support for the summit. On the other hand, it was Egypt who, before the conference even started, announced that they would not support a unified currency. Even more surprising, long suspended AU member Madagascar showed interest in attending the summit.

Lifting the Suspension of Madagascar
With Madagascar being suspended since 2009, the country was not allowed to be an active member in the Summit. Both President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigera and President Muammar Gaddafi of Libya voiced support for lifting the suspension of Madagascar and readmitting the island nation to the African Union.
