Explanation written with AI and checked against the answer key
Analyze the question: The question asks which summit produced the "road map" for putting the African Union (AU) into operation. This is about the history of the transition from the OAU to the AU.
Key background (timeline):
- 1999, Sirte (Libya): The Sirte Declaration, in which OAU leaders agreed to establish the African Union.
- 2000, Lomé (Togo): The Constitutive Act of the African Union was adopted.
- 2001, Lusaka (Zambia): The OAU summit adopted the road map (implementation plan) for putting the AU into operation, and decided on the transition from OAU to AU.
- 2002, Durban (South Africa): The AU was officially launched.
Step-by-step reasoning:
- Sirte (A) is where the idea was declared, not where the implementation plan was drawn.
- Lomé (C) is where the legal document, the Constitutive Act, was adopted.
- Lusaka (B) is where the road map for implementation was drawn up in 2001.
- Lagos (D) relates to the Lagos Plan of Action (1980) on economic development, which is unrelated to the AU's creation.
Answer: The Lusaka Summit (2001) drew the road map for implementing the African Union.
Exam tip: Remember the sequence S-L-L-D: Sirte (idea, 1999) → Lomé (law/Act, 2000) → Lusaka (launch plan/road map, 2001) → Durban (debut/launch, 2002).
