Energy crisis a wake-up call for Africa: AU

The African Union development agency NEPAD CEO Nardos Bekele-Thomas says the current energy crisis should be a wake-up call for Africa.

A number of countries on the continent are facing fuel shortages due to the hostilities in the Middle East, albeit with a shaky ceasefire.

Bekele-Thomas spoke to SABC News on the sidelines of the celebration of 25 years since NEPAD was formed.

It is one of the key entities to drive development on the continent and integration among African countries.
