The 16th African Union (AU) summit opened on Sunday in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, as African leaders gather to discuss peace, security and stability on the continent.

The summit's theme "Towards Greater Unity and Integration Through Shared Values," is likely to be overshadowed by heated discussion on a number of thorny issues including the political crisis in Cote d'Ivoire, the social unrest in Tunis and Egypt, the post-referendum reconstruction in Sudan and the deteriorating situation in Somalia.
