The African Union is most often unable to resolve conflicts as quickly as possible because it
- A. lacks financial weakness
- B. does not have a standby force and has to depend on the goodwill of member-states to contribute troops for peace-keeping operationsCorrect
- C. has too many member states
- D. lacks a permanent headquarters
Explanation
The African Union does not have a standby force that it can deploy in any part of the continent when conflict arises but has to depend on the goodwill of member-states to contribute troops for its peace-keeping operations. This is a big problem preventing the AU from resolving conflicts quickly, especially as some member-states may not be committed to providing troops, particularly if they have a vested interest in the crisis.
