The EU extends its African Union military support program by two years

The European Union has extended its military support program for the African Union. This means the EU will continue to fund African Union peace operations until 2028.

The European Peace Facility is how the EU funds military and defense operations in partner countries. This extension means the EU will continue to play a direct role in African security for at least two more years. It also signals the EU's ongoing commitment to the African Union as a key partner in regional stability.
