A recent article in Kenya’s Africa Review cited sources in the African Union (AU) disclosing that the 28-member North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is preparing to sign a military partnership treaty with the 53-nation AU.

Last year the commander of US African Command (AFRICOM), General William Ward, said the Pentagon had military partnerships with 35 of the continent's 53 nations, 'representing US relationships that span the continent'.[1]

That number has increased in the interim.
