There's actually no evidence,those claims are made by French media,which is denied by the African union itself
.France is going crazy about China threatening their control of Africa and its resources.
Then tell me why they remove Huawei servers & techs from the building if there's no spying?
The period of time between internal discovery (January 2017) and public disclosure (January 2018) of the data exfiltration is also worth noting. For one, per Le Monde, this was needed time to address the issue: the African Union purchased new servers in the time since discovering the data exfiltration, and apparently refused Chinese government offers to configure them. Officials at the AU additionally bolstered the encryption of their communications. The type of data exfiltrated and/or the way in which the exfiltration occurred clearly indicated something serious to the African Union, such that it didn’t just stop at replacing the tech. Security experts swept the building and additionally discovered (and removed) bugs planted in desks and walls. (It was not specified to whom these bugs belonged, or if that was known, but the implication in the article seems to be linking this to the server spying.)
