'''African Union''' ('''AU''') is an intergovernmental organization in [[Africa]] aimed for political and economic integration among its member states. It helps to promote unity, encourage [[democracy]] and economic growth among the African nations. The AU is a successor to the Organization of African States (OAU), the first important political grouping of African states. Except [[Morocco]], which left the OAU in 1984 over the group's recognition of the separatist Polisario Front, all African nations are members of the AU. Its headquarters is situated in [[Addis Ababa]], [[Ethiopia]].<ref name=BBC>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/country_profiles/3870303.stm Profile: African Union] ''BBC''</ref>
