%X The formation of the African Union (AU) was precisely aimed at finding African solutions for African problems. The AU¡¯s institutions, powers and objectives were meant to bring about fundamental shifts away from the constraints imposed on actions under the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) charter. When the crises in C te d¡¯Ivoire and Libya began, it was hoped that the AU would be the one to find solutions under its much cherished notion of ¡®African solutions to African problems¡¯. However, the organisation has sometimes taken half-hearted measures, and suffered from internal divisions among its members on how to react to the crises and their consequences, which rendered the notion of ¡®African solutions to African problems¡¯ moot.
