- Briefing by António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, on strengthening the role of the African State in addressing global security and development challenges, during the Security Council, 9633rd meeting.
"Mr. President, Excellencies,
I thank Mozambique for bringing us together to discuss Africa's critical role in maintaining peace and security.
Today's discussion is about peace in Africa itself - but also strengthening Africa's role in peace and development globally.
Excellencies,
Africa is an important voice for the global good.
The continent is home to many examples of unity and solidarity in a fractured world.
We see this unity in Africa's focus on ending poverty and hunger, supporting refugees fleeing across borders, and achieving sustainable development.
And we see it in the continent's efforts to work together to build a modern, diverse, innovative and powerful continental economy to benefit all Africans.
From the African Union's Agenda 2063 and the African Continental Free Trade Area.
To African countries leading the way on renewable energy systems like solar and wind - a continent with the potential to become a renewable energy superpower.
To Africa's bold calls for reforming the global financial architecture so it better serves and represents the countries who need it most.
Mr. President,
All of these efforts require peace in Africa and beyond.
Too many Africans are caught up in the hell of conflicts, or living with the relentless danger of terrorism and violent extremism in their communities.
From the countries of the Sahel rocked by unconstitutional changes of government, uncertain political transitions, and a growing terrorist threat.
To the spread of terrorism and violent extremism in the Lake Chad Basin, Somalia and elsewhere.
To the continued violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Horn of Africa.
And to the deepening humanitarian nightmare in Sudan, now entering its second year, with increased hostilities in El Fasher opening an alarming new chapter in this conflict.
My Personal Envoy, Mr. Ramtane Lamamra, is working tirelessly on mediation efforts with all parties.
We need a concerted global push for a ceasefire, followed by a comprehensive peace process to end the bloodshed.
The death, hunger, disease and displacement fuelled by these conflicts are playing out against a bleak backdrop.
Many African countries are still suffering the impact of the pandemic, including higher rates of debt, limiting their capacity to fight poverty and hunger.
Meanwhile, climate impacts are escalating, including droughts and ferocious flooding - as we saw recently in east Africa.
Rising geopolitical tensions are also having an impact on the continent.
In some countries, we are seeing grave human rights violations and abuses, an epidemic of gender-based and sexual violence, a flouting of international law and a global climate of impunity.
The human cost of these conflicts is breathtaking.
And the cost to development is incalculable.
Mr. President,
Now is the time to unleash Africa's peace power.
We need to strengthen Africa's peace leadership - on the continent itself, and on the global stage.
First - we need peace in Africa itself.
Our partnership with Africa is based on the clear perception that we must work with the African Union based on the principle of African-led solutions for African problems.
The United Nations fully supports Africa's pursuit of peace through the African Union's flagship Silencing the Guns initiative.
We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our African partners to help ensure security, stability, and respect for human rights and the rule of law across the continent - in line with my New Vision for the Rule of Law.
We're working closely with the African Union to strengthen the foundations of stable, peaceful societies - including democratic processes and institutions that people can trust.
We're working closely with the African Union, ECOWAS and others to end the scourge of terrorism - including support for prevention, legal assistance, investigations, prosecutions, reintegration and rehabilitation, and human rights protection.
We fully support the establishment of the African Humanitarian Agency to help people caught within complex emergencies.
And we're supporting key processes to build peace in places where it is in short supply.
I am pleased that this Council agreed to our longstanding call to support African Union-led peace support operations - including peace enforcement and counter-terrorism operations - with mandates from the Council and through assessed contributions covering a large chunk of the expenditure.
Resolution 2719 is a critical milestone.
....
Democracy is Security Council should have no permanent seats, should be rotated, voted in, need more representation and majority vote should defeat minority vote.
make south africa a permanent member of the security council. ❤
It's important to had the great achievement that Africa have scored as well as the challenges we're in and facing in organ like UN security council, Our full participation in the global governance is crucial not only for we the Africans but the entire world.

MOVING FASTER PEPER WORK NEW ACCESS SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸
Unbelievable!
That’s wonderful news about peaceful, prosperous Africa. That means US taxpayers can stop sending billions of dollars in aid to Africa. The U.S. is 33 billion in debt, from sending other countries free aid. We now are not prosperous like Africa. And BTW, would the UN stop helping illegal immigrants get into the U.S. . Send them to Africa, land of peace and prosperity. Thank you.❤
WELL...They can start withholding funds with Israel and Ukraine. Billions on top of billions!
Happy World Turtle Day 2024 ! 🐢🐢🐢🐢
Best kept secret.
I help you good

Стрельба по мишени?
Столько людей из Африки следят в ООН и ничего не изменилось к лучшему
🫡🙏🏽🇺🇳🇺🇸🕊️🌍
Rise Humanity rise.
Rise up from all of the lies.
Rise up to clarity, let go of old ideology.
Humanity is one big family!
What injures you injures me.
It is time that we become free,
and trust our own guide from within and begin;
to heal Humanity as a whole,
joining each other soul to soul.
Namaste
Africans need to see it through all their differences are due to the concepts folowed which is their right to observe as humans but making these differences to claim superiority to others and subjugate them is not different than when they were colonised and received it. Learn to value life , learn to value people you would find these differences disappearing in no time. When a child is murdered/ killed/ slaughtered/ maimed/ raped/brought into market or is exposed to any form of brutality it is " the child" there is no qualification of race, ethnicity ,.... which can make that treatment acceptable. When a woman or man is subject to any form of brutal treatment the status of the victim as Christian/Mustlim/Jew/ Budhist/... Sudanese/ Congolese/Brazilian/Russian... European/Asian/ African...must not get one blinded and resist,deny rejection and acting against it. Do see it clear , the longer the subjugation and indoctrination is the more stronger the victim's tendency to become one when released. Do not follow in the footsteps of the Colonizers.
MY CITIZENSHIP IS NOT OF THIS WORLD. THIS COMES FROM HEAVEN.
I kindly and politely inform everyone that my citizenship is not of this world. This comes from heaven where Our Lord Jesus Christ sits on his throne at the right hand of his Father, God the Father. PEACE.
“But our citizenship is in heaven. And we long for a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ. » - Philippians 3:20

MA CITOYENNETÉ N'EST PAS DE CE MONDE. CELA VIENT DU CIEL.
J'informe gentiment et poliment tout le monde que ma citoyenneté n'est pas de ce monde. Cela vient du ciel où Notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ est assis sur son trône à la droite de son Père, Dieu le Père. PAIX.
« Mais notre citoyenneté est au paradis. Et nous aspirons à un Sauveur de là-bas, le Seigneur Jésus-Christ. » - Philippiens 3:20
UN is been employed
Secretary general already finishing jobs SERVICES related general scientist request secretary general above time
So they voted yes for Palestinia UN Membership ! I guess why!
True.
I doubt the Secretary General is even a bit informed about the past 50 years of history on EU aid going to Africa. NO MORE!
Global Awareness drive Peace campaign is on. Further African Nations Peace should be top priority for UN. Global Awareness drive support African countries in Peace Campaign.
They always have been.
is arogense for french. problem of africa
Everyone wants to be King in Africa. As I European I send thousands of Euros over the years to help from nature project to heat problems and food aid. And this is continuing now already for over 45 years. If there is one continent full of nations receiving most foreign aid, money, projects for education, medication and what nots it is Africa. And what has been done with it,...is what we see now and all the time. Everyone wants to be King. And when things go wrong they sound alarm and we are expected to help. Well..I know we have been deceived, and I am totally done with it. Suit it yourselves now. I will vote against any foreign aid going to this continent. They have to learn to cope themselves. It is about time. Specially when we already got how much percentages of your populations, illegally entering EU. Seriously, stop asking too much! Good luck!
Ваши правительства грабят африканцев. Вывозят ресурсы ,все ценное из африки а взамен ,какие то гроши в виде помощи,про совесть вам говорить бесполезно.
