Talking about Peace in Africa...

Libya, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Sudan and South Sudan, Somalia...

Conflicts have been rising strongly during the past 12 months on the continent and the African Union is trying to learn a lesson from its own mistakes and weaknesses dealing with those situations.

This is the reason why the AU has invited around 50 journalists for this workshop about Peace, Security and the media.

So far, many guests have mainly explained how and why the AU's Peace and Security Committee and all its other bodies dedicated to diplomacy have been successful in the past five years.

A journalist from Libya disagrees... But there's not so much time for discussion.

Is the task to big? Ensuring the respect of peace when you're a young, fragile and weak organisation?

We'll have to bring a conclusion tomorrow...
