African Union is joining the G20, a powerful acknowledgement of a continent of 1 billion people
(Worthy News) – The group of the world’s 20 leading economies is welcoming the African Union as a permanent member, a powerful acknowledgement of Africa as its more than 50 countries seek a more important role on the global stage.
