Résumé
Abstract: Diverse conflicts, ranging from the so-called ethnic conflicts, to border disputes, scramble over natural resources, power rivalries, and foreign interventions have marked the modern history of Africa. To help solve these conflicts if not attenuate their devastating effects, African countries, through the Organization of the African Unit (OAU) and the Regional Economic Communities (RECs), have attempted to set up common security mechanisms at continental and regional levels. However, the capabilities of this continental institution proved limited at that time, mainly because of the military weakness of its member States and lack of funds to sustain operations linked to maintain peace and security in the continent. The establishment of the African Unity (AU) brought a new phase and a different stance to fight common threats, as regional and continental security mechanisms emerged in a context marked by the multiplicity of civil wars and the increase of new security threats consisting of the spread of terrorism and transnational crime. The paper seeks to evaluate the achievements made by AU in the domain of keeping peace and security in Africa, as well as delve into the hindrances facing this institution in its efforts to find solutions to political instability, persistence of authoritarian regimes, and interferences of foreign powers in the African Union, Security mechanisms, Peace and security architecture, peacekeeping operations.continent’s internal affairs.African Union, Security mechanisms, Peace and security architecture, peacekeeping operations.
