Joao Lourenço
Joao Lourenço is the President of Angola and has recently taken on the role of President of the African Union (AU), marking the first time Angola leads this influential organization. With a background in negotiation and diplomacy, Lourenço faces significant challenges, particularly the ongoing crisis in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where violence and instability have escalated. As a designated mediator by the AU since 2022, he has been involved in efforts to address the conflict, which poses a risk of broader regional instability.
