A big meeting of African leaders started in Ethiopia's capital city, Addis Ababa. Many important people will speak at this meeting. First, they will play Africa's special song. Then, the current leader of the African Union, Mr. Moussa Faki, will talk. After him, Ethiopia's leader and the head of the United Nations will share their thoughts.
Other leaders from different places, such as Arab countries and Palestine, will share their ideas. The meeting will also pick new people to help run Africa next year. The current leader from Mauritania will give his job to Angola's president, who will become the new leader of the African Union.
The meeting will become private when new presidents from different African countries speak. These presidents come from places like Liberia, Senegal, Botswana, Mauritius, Ghana, Mozambique, and Chad. They will talk about their plans for Africa.
Kenya's Raila Odinga wants an important job at this meeting. He hopes to become the next leader of the African Union Commission. Two other people, one from Djibouti and another from Madagascar, also want this job.
The countries will vote for their favorite person. The winner needs many votes to lead the African Union Commission. This leader can work for four years and might stay for four more years if people like their work. Different parts of Africa take turns having this job. This time, someone from East Africa should win because it's their turn.
