New enough and long enough, QPQ done. Text generally supported by the sources in spotchecks while also not plagiarising, and I am satisfied the hook is supported by the source used in the article. (I would ask that next time that source be included here, as the ones here were different and I spent far too long trying to find the quote.) The hook is quite a plain fact on the topic, but I find it broadly interesting in highlighting the interesting aspect of the topic. The image appears correctly licenced as public domain.Hook quibbles: I suspect leaving the "s" out of the bold makes little sense, and odd to spell out only African Union and not the other two bodies. If a promoter agrees, I would ask them to tweak upon promotion. These quibbles are however minor, and do not fail the DYK requirements. Pass. CMD (talk) 03:40, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
