In August, Burundi was the Chair of the African Union (AU) Peace and Security Council (PSC). According to the Provisional Program of Work (PPoW), adopted in July, the PSC was scheduled to hold six sessions, which at the beginning of the month increased to eight (See Amani’s analysis of the PPoW). During the month, the PSC convened a total of five sessions. Of these, two sessions were on thematic issues and three sessions focused on country-specific situations. Additionally, the PSC also convened the 3rd Annual Consultative Meeting with the RECs/RMs Policy Organs. All of these sessions were conducted at the ambassadorial level.
