The African Union canceled a conference it planned to hold in Tunisia later this month, after criticizing the government over attacks on migrants in the country.
The conference on fighting illicit financial flows in Africa scheduled for mid-March was postponed on March 2, an African Union spokeswoman said by text message on Monday. No new host country has been chosen for the meeting.
