Abstract

The Peace and Security Council of the African Union (AU), at its 275th meeting held at ministerial level, on 26 April 2011, debated on the state of peace and security in the continent. Council organized this debate within the context of the uprisings that took place in North Africa, which started in Tunisia and, subsequently, spread out to Egypt and Libya, degenerating, in the latter country, into an armed confrontation between the Government and the protestors.
