Question

A bank called BADEA (“bah-day-uh”) loaned members of this organization six billion dollars before it embraced self-sufficiency in a 1980 “plan of action.” In order to condemn the killing of a leader who lost support from CUT’s militant Juvento youth wing, this organization affirmed non-interference and territorial integrity in Article III of its charter. This organization, whose “Liberation Committee” sent arms to insurgents in the “frontline states,” enforced a 1987 ceasefire between the author of its transitional Sirte (“surt”) Declaration and (10[1])Hissène Habré (10[3])(“ee-SEN ah-BRAY”). The Arab League mediated (-5[1])the Sand War with this organization, (-5[1])which formed after (-5[1])the FLN’s (-5[1])Évian Accords (-5[1])eased (10[1])tensions between Mohammed V’s integrationist Casablanca (-5[1])group and the less radical (-5[1])Monrovia (10[1])bloc. For 10 (10[1])points, Muammar Gaddafi transformed what organization (10[2])into a current supranational (-5[1])body (10[1])of 55 states (10[3])based (-5[1])in Addis Ababa? (10[1])■END■ (10[8]0[2])

ANSWER: OAU [or Organization of African Unity, Organization for African Unity, Organisation de l’unité africaine, or OUA; accept African Union or AU; accept Charter of African Unity] (Clues include the Lagos Plan of Action, the assassination of Sylvanus Olympio in the 1963 Togolese coup, and the Toyota War ceasefire.)
