Sometimes bucking the trend is a good thing and may African Union continue to show unfettered courage and independence of mind. However, in this instance there is something not quite right about the AU's stance.
Whilst there is a undeniable sense of disquiet about events in Egypt post 30th June 2013, there is also a sense of disquiet about extraordinary International and internal reaction to those events, particularity the push for civil war.
And then there is AU's stance which begs the question, does the AU serves faulty parliamentary processes, detrimental constitutions, first and foremost above the African people? In other words is the AU a colonial relic?
The AU's stance and position doesn't matter,why? Because it's an irrelevant institution. Now that it suspended Egypt, what will happen to Egypt? Will its economy performs less? Will Egypt have less saying and attention from Europe, US or Israel? None of those. So the AU is indeed an irrelevant organization.
