Wishing a blessed Ramadan to Muslims across the UK and around the world 🌍

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.

The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946.

Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.
