President Paul Kagame at a one-day AU Troika Summit on Libya and Sudan, convened by the current African Union Chairperson and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, in Cairo yesterday.

The AU Troika is currently composed of Rwanda as the former AU Chair, Egypt in its capacity as the current Chair, and South Africa as the next Chair.
