message: Under the section "Members" three non-sovereign entities (voluntarily so) are listed as "dependency members of the AU. Can this really be true? My impression has always been that both the UK and France, and particularly France, have been very keen on maintaining control of everything related to foreign relations on behalf of their dependent territories, and so any contacts between the territories and third parties would necessarily have to be strictly business or cultural exchange, and never diplomatic or political business. Can anyone confirm? Does the AU really maintain direct political relations with these three territories? Technically, Réunion is not even a territroy, it's actually France itself. Is the EU a dependency member of the AU? --Big Adamsky 22:19, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. I can't find anything about this on the AU homepage, and neither dependency has members of the Pan-African parliament. It's quite possible the AU wants to include them somehow, to symbolically attach them to Africa; it could also be an old OAU anticolonial thing. But I suggest deleting it if no-one can come up with a source in the near future. Arre 17:55, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Swift reaction, Nightstallion!
* I havn't colored the "Other blocs", because they are not participating in AEC, so their progress is irrelevant (thus - no attention gathering colors). I added them for reference purposes only.
*:I assume they eventually will be included somehow, however, and it doesn't hurt to colour them, does it?
*:: IMHO it hurts because their status is irrelevant to the "progress of the stage", so the stage would be deemed Completed even when they are red/unfinished...
*:::Fair enough. I'll not revert that.  Nightstallion ✉ 09:24, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The page says:
:"The AU covers the entire continent except for Morocco, which opposes the membership of Western Sahara as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and Somaliland."
It can have two meanings:
# Somaliland is not a member
# Morocco is not a member because it opposes the membership of Western Sahara and Somaliland
The first one seems more reasonable to me, but then Somaliland's independence is not recognized by anyone, so why is it mentioned at all?
Please clarify. Thanks. --Amir E. Aharoni 15:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think "Head of State" is the correct term (the President chairs an assembly of Heads of State).  Although the President seems to have a pseudo-ambassadorial rank like the UN Secretary-General.  But I can't seem to find a document that spells it out clearly.

message: The second sentence is confusing:
:Established in 2001, the AU was formed as a successor to the amalgamated African Economic Community (AEC) and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU).
At the same time the African Economic Community says that the AEC is also an existing organisation. Can you reword this to be more clear? 80.235.71.26 14:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Since Morocco's population is 30 million or so, wouldn't the African Union have a population of 870 million and not 850? Or am I missing something?  7FlushSetzer 16:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're missing something.  Morocco is not a member of the African Union, so as such, their population would not be taken into account.  If it were the population would be approximately 880 million as opposed to 850 million persons.  --Son 20:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
