2022 marks the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the inauguration of the African Union (AU). In reviewing the record of the AU in its two decades of existence, the aspect of AU\u2019s role that is sure to attract the most scrutiny relates to the area of peace and security. While this special research report is not meant to provide such a comprehensive review, it seeks to provide an analysis of the major peace and security issues in Africa in 2022 as a useful lens for understanding where the AU\u2019s peace and security order stands 20 years after AU\u2019s launch. In presenting the analysis on the various major peace and security issues afflicting the continent, this report attests to both the importance of AU\u2019s role and how its role has become more, not less, important today than at the time of its establishment, notwithstanding recent regressions in its performance.<\/p>\n
