ICYMI: 🇰🇪 Kenyan President William Ruto Demands Permanent African Representation at UN Security Council
‘Principles can be permanent, while institutions should evolve,’ Ruto noted.
‘A continent of 54 countries and more than 1.4bn people cannot remain at the margins of decisions central to global peace and security,’ he added at the 'Partners for Multilateralism Summit' in New York.
Africa still has no permanent seat on the Security Council.
A 21st century Security Council without permanent African representation is unjust & indefensible.
We must reform the Council so that it reflects today’s world with the legitimacy and effectiveness that today’s challenges demand.
He just keeps digging his hole. And lying too - he literally spoke out repeatedly for Ukraine and went to Ukraine.
But Gaza apparently, nope, that’s too political and bad for ‘families’. Hypocrite.

A prison visit meant to deliver a meal instead blew a plot wide open after sharp-eyed officers at Ruai Police Station unravelled a scheme to hand remanded suspects the very tools of their escape.
Christine Njoki Gitau, 18, strolled into the station reception with all the calm of an innocent visitor, requesting to see three friends held over robbery with violence and gang rape. In her hands: a plate of rice and meat, packed with what she claimed was nothing more than a meal for three suspects.
The three: Emmanuel Bosire, Ismael Arisa and Brian Gatheru are being held at the station for operating an anonymous TikTok page, using it to lure young women into meetings before gang-raping and robbing them of their valuables.
But the cell sentry's instincts proved sharper than her disguise. A routine scoop through the food led to a shocking discovery: buried beneath the meal lay a pair of pliers and a shear, cold-steel tools meant to aid the escape of the three suspects.
In an instant, a jailbreak-in-waiting was crushed before it could hatch. Christine was placed under immediate arrest, her plate of deception now the centrepiece of a widening investigation into who else may have had a hand in the plot.
The DCI reminds members of the public that aiding or attempting to aid an escape from lawful custody is a serious criminal offence and those found committing such acts will be met with the full force of the law.
