It is expected that the 35th African Summit of Heads of State and Government will conclude, Sunday, a day after the launch of its effectiveness, amid growing coups in the continent.
The summit was attended by the heads of state of the west of the continent, which has witnessed frequent coups d’État, which has made the issue dominate the agenda of the summit.
The summit is being held in the absence of four countries whose membership was recently suspended by the African Union due to coups d’État: Mali, Sudan, Guinea Conakry and Burkina Faso.
