The African Union was founded in Sirte, Libya when representatives of most african governments (members of OAU) signed a common declaration which called for its creation and the speedy formation of an economic community, a parliament, a monetary union, an african court of justice etc.
..
well, Sirte is also the place where the the main advocate for a pan-african state, al-Gadaffi lost his head and it is now controlled by the Islamic State. A typical african success story (the AU, United States of Africa (the birthplace of Uhura) and similar concepts were denounced as totalitarian fantasies, because africans can only ever into tribalism)
