Abstract
The year 2063 is important to the AU and the African people. Aside from the fact that, by then, many African states will be celebrating 100 years’ independence, this is also the year that the goals listed in the Agenda 2063 should have been achieved. The Agenda 2063, which was created in 2015, groups its objectives into four broad categories: inclusive growth; integration; governance; security; cultural identity; women and youth; and partnership. However, the Agenda does not consider the influence of war and conflict. The failure to anticipate and put in place measures for mitigating the impacts of such events means that the goals of the Agenda 2063 are less likely to be achieved.
