The President of Cabo Verde, José Maria Neves, reiterated in Luanda his country's position in favor of a profound reform of the African Union. During his speech, Neves argued that reforms should be oriented towards greater organizational efficiency and superior effectiveness in the results achieved.
The Cabo Verde head of state is in Luanda, the capital of Angola, where he is participating in a summit or meeting related to the continental organization. His presence at this event comes in the context of a broader debate about the future and structure of the African Union.
Cabo Verde has been consistent in its position that the African Union needs substantial, not merely cosmetic, changes. The small island archipelago has advocated for an organization that better responds to the real needs of African countries, especially the smaller ones.
The defense of profound reforms by José Maria Neves reflects a perspective shared by some African nations who consider that the African Union must undergo significant transformation to better serve the interests of the continent and its citizens.
