Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The African Union has said there was need for a “peaceful solution to the conflict with Russia”. This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a fresh request to address African Union (AU) heads of state, according to AU Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki.<\/b><\/p>\n

In a tweet, Mr Faki said he received the request during a call with Ukraine’s foreign minister. The pair also talked about President Zelensky’s “wish to develop closer ties with the AU”.<\/p>\n

Mr Faki didn’t disclose whether the request will be granted but tweeted that he had “insisted on the need for a peaceful solution to the conflict with Russia” thus bringing to question the AU’s position in the conflict.<\/p>\n

Dalvarice Ngoudjou, a Cameroonian expert in international relations believes there are various aspects to it.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s Presdient Volodymyr Zelensky has spoken with major western governments and parliaments. He however has not spoken with countries in Africa. The war in his country has now gone past two months.<\/p>\n

Ngoudjou shares some more insight:<\/p>\n

It is not yet known whether President Zelensky’s request will be granted by the AU but if it does, there are questions on him being able to rally the support of neutral countries on the continent to his cause.<\/p>\n

“If we had to rely only on the word of Zelensky, it would be extremely difficult, but given that there are a number of Western powers that exert pressure on states, there is a chance that he may be able to gather a certain amount of support”.<\/b><\/p>\n

With some African nations extending ties to Russia lately, analysts fear having a collective support of the AU may be unattenable for Ukraine.<\/p>\n
