ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia, June 12— The Organization of African Unity ended its 19th summit conference here today with its affirmations of unity undermined by disputes over the appointment of a new Secretary General. ''We have publicly rebuffed our detractors by strengthening our unity more than ever before,'' Mengistu Haile Mariam, the Ethiopian leader, who is chairman of the O.A.U., said at the closing session in Africa Hall, the site of the organization's creation 20 years ago. ''We have proved that one of Africa's traditions is collectively consulting together to seek solutions to common problems.'' The closing meeting had been delayed for a day because the group was unable to elect a replacement for its Secretary General, Edem Kodjo of Togo. Delegates said that in a late-night sitting, more than 20 ballots were conducted in an effort to decide between rival candidates proposed by Gabon and Mali. Both contenders refused to withdraw but neither won sufficient support, so, conference spokesmen said, an Assistant Secretary General, Peter Onu of Nigeria, was named Acting Secretary General until the dispute can be resolved. An Issue With Ideological Roots. The position carries some prestige and influence for the country providing the Secretary General. But the dispute, delegates said, reflected a continuing and partly ideological rift between those nations, like Mali, considered ''progressives'' and those, like Gabon, termed ''moderates.'' The titles do not fully reflect political realities but have come to denote the broad division in the organization between those who recognize the Polisario guerrilla movement in Western Sahara, and those who backed Morocco's opposition to the desert fighters challenging its control of the former Spanish area. The division was one of two issues that twice forced the postponement of the summit meeting, initially to have opened in Libya last August. The rift has threatened to replace the notion of African unity with two rival blocs whose self images are drawn from conflicting political identities and alignments for and against the West. Peace Plan for Western Sahara With his reference to a collective ability to solve problems, Colonel Mengistu was apparently referring to the conference's main achievement - a peace plan formulated yesterday and designed to end the 10-year-old Western Sahara conflict. There has been no indication, however, when negotiations to carry out the plan will begin and some delegates voiced skepticism about the willingness of Morocco, which is pro-Western, to discuss issues that could lead to a relinquishing of territory. The final session had its ironies. Delegates gathered to hear Colonel Mengistu's closing address under an imposing mural composed of portraits of the African leaders who founded the O.A.U., in the same hall, as the voice of a continent emerging from colonial rule. Only a handful of those figures are in power, many having been overthrown in the turmoil of the post-independence years. Among the portraits was one of Emperor Haile Selassie, who was ousted in the mid-1970's by a group of officers, led by the man who is now Africa's main spokesman, Colonel Mengistu. http://www.nytimes.com/1983/06/13/world/african-unity-organization-ends-its-summit-gathering-in-disunity.html |

SA made three key blunders in AU poll fiasco Business Day9 Feb 2012 ADEKEYE ADEBAJO THE recent failure of Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-zuma to become chairwoman of the African Union (AU) Commission was predictable. SA does not appear to have given much thought to the traditions of diplomacy and has committed three key blunders. First, SA ignored the “golden rule” of international organisations that nationals of large countries do not occupy the top post. This rule applies as much to the AU as it does to the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) and the United Nations (UN). In the 38-year history of the Au/organisation of African Unity (OAU), its nine leaders have come from Guinea, Cameroon, Togo, Niger, Tanzania, Cote d’ivoire and Gabon. A Nigerian, Peter Onu, acted as OAU chief from 1983 to 1985, but was never confirmed in the post. In Sadc, the executive secretary has typically come from countries such as Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mauritius and Mozambique. The UN’S eight secretariesgeneral have been nationals of Norway, Sweden, Burma, Austria, Peru, Egypt, Ghana and South Korea.

SA, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria and Libya each provide 15% of the AU’S operating budget and are considered to be among Africa’s big powers. But even if some states are more equal than others, smaller countries always obsess about the sovereign equality of all member states. Suggestions that SA and Nigeria become veto-wielding permanent members of the 15-member AU Peace and Security Council were therefore rebuffed in 2004, while both regional powers failed to get their regions to support dropping the African insistence on a veto in order to expand the UN Security Council a year later. Africa’s Lilliputians thus remain wary of overbearing regional Gullivers.

Africa’s Lilliputians thus remain wary of overbearing regional Gullivers. The second blunder was to challenge an incumbent that it assumed had become unpopular. In African diplomacy, damaged incumbents are typically convinced to step down while a consensus candidate is found. While Jean Ping has not covered himself in glory during his four years in office, one must acknowledge the limits of a position in which African leaders largely call the shots, while the chair of the AU Commission tries to co-ordinate the often divergent interests of its 54 members.

Ping’s predecessor — the erudite former Malian president, Alpha Oumar Konare — failed as spectacularly as Ping to build a dynamic AU. Only two of the nine OAU/AU heads — Guinea’s Diallo Telli and Tanzania’s Salim Ahmed Salim — were re-elected. Both were impressive, but neither transformed the organisation’s institutional deficiencies. The third issue that counted against SA was its maladroit diplomacy over Cote d’ivoire and Libya last year, and particularly the alienation of its previously close strategic partner, Nigeria. The third issue that counted against SA was its maladroit diplomacy over Cote d’ivoire and Libya last year, and particularly the alienation of its previously close strategic partner, Nigeria. In the first case, SA prevaricated after the incumbent president, Laurent Gbagbo, tried to steal a presidential election. In the latter, SA failed to prevent a majority of African states recognising Libya’s National Transitional Council. In both cases, SA found itself on the wrong side of history. The problem with this debacle was not Dlamini-zuma, who would doubtless have brought much energy to this post. The obstacles involved her nationality and SA’S clumsy and heavy-handed approach in acting like a bull in a continental china shop. Attempts to portray the vote as a francophone-anglophone battle are too simplistic, as these are not monolithic voting blocs in which countries bleat like linguistic sheep. SA’S reported celebrations after its candidate withdrew and Ping failed to be re-elected, were tactless and impolitic. The fact that Dlamini-zuma failed to achieve a simple majority in all three rounds and that the Gabonese diplomat was able to muster 60% of votes in the fourth, falling just short of the two-thirds required for re-election, means he will have many supporters that will be angry with SA’S petulance. Having a lame-duck AU Commission for six months can be good for neither SA nor Africa. SA will surely now be blamed not just for a rudderless continental body, but also for having divided the AU. It is important that SA urgently repairs this damage and perhaps throws its weight behind an able candidate from a smaller southern African country. If SA is interested in AU institutional reform, it could still target the deputy chairmanship in the future. Talk of putting up another South African candidate for the chair at the next AU summit would only add folly to this chronicle of a fiasco foretold.
