Addis Ababa, Jan 29 (IANS/WAM) Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa will host the 22nd African Union summit Jan 30-31.

The summit will provide a platform for leaders from across the continent to voice their concerns and reach a consensus on the growing instances of civil unrest across the continent.

Ethiopia's Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom said an "urgent solution" was needed to resolve the ongoing conflict in South Sudan and the Central African Republic.
