People from many African countries met in Ethiopia to talk about making life better for everyone in Africa. The meeting happened in a big building where leaders from 55 countries came together to share ideas.
Africa has lots of treasures under its ground. There are shiny metals like gold and helpful minerals that people use to make things. The land is perfect for growing food. But other countries take these treasures away, and Africa does not make much money from them.
The leaders want to change this. They said Africa needs fair treatment from banks and other countries. Right now, Africa makes very little of the world's things, and banks often think African countries cannot pay back loans. This makes it hard for African countries to borrow money and grow.
The leaders made plans to help African countries work better together. They want to make it easier for people to travel between different African countries. Many countries make it hard for Africans to visit each other. The leaders think this needs to stop because it makes it harder for people to work, learn, and trade with each other.
They also talked about making a new bank rating system just for Africa. This would help African countries show they can handle money well. The leaders believe this would make other countries trust them more and want to work with them.
The meeting chose a new leader named Mahamoud Ali Youssouf from a country called Djibouti. He wants to make Africa stronger and more important in world decisions. He thinks all African countries should work as one team to make things better for everyone who lives there.
A smart person named Balew Demissie said something important. He said African countries need to think like one big family, work together, and help each other. This would make Africa stronger and more independent.
