The African Union has reiterated its ‘zero-tolerance’ attitude toward coups. On the final day of the AU summit in Addis Ababa, the supranational body said it would maintain the suspension of Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali and Sudan – all of which are currently ruled by military leaders following military takeovers. AU leaders said they are ready to help those countries return to constitutional order and help democracy take root.
