The African Union (AU) was left fighting an image crisis after a staffer lampooned USAID boss Samantha Power using its official Twitter handle.
Ms Power had called for a ceasefire to the conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia, tweeting: "There is no military solution to the conflict. Humanitarian needs are already dire but they will get much worse unless all parties agree to dialogue and ending hostilities."
