The AU intervention followed the withdrawal of Qatari troops from their disputed border region between Eritrea and Djibouti.
The AU Commission Chairman, MOUSSA FAKI, made the announcement at the African Heads of State Summit in Addis Ababa.
FAKI recalled that the Qatari troops left the disputed region a few weeks ago, after being in control since 2010 as part of the mediation process.
He said the Commission had sent a mission to the contested area following an appeal by Djibouti.
Qatar withdrew from the disputed area and notified Djibouti of the cessation of their role in the mediation, according to the AU chairman.
