“Africa needs to be at the table, not on the menu.”
At my opening remarks at today’s UNGA General Debate, I urged Member States to grant Africa its rightful place on the Security Council and end its chronic underrepresentation.
Doing so is a question of fairness, justice and, ultimately, the credibility of the United Nations.
🇵🇸🇧🇩 “The people of Bangladesh, who believe in democracy, remain deeply concerned about the plight of the freedom-seeking Palestinian people. Bangladesh once again reaffirms its unwavering support for their legitimate demands, including their right to self-determination and their right to establish an independent state of Palestine.”
Vladimir Putin couldn't deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly due to ICC arrest warrant, but Benjamin Netanyahu can deliver his speech at the UN even with ICC arrest warrant! How much Zionist lobby have control over the UN and US.
This world has completely lost its meaning
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
One of Orwell's nightmares materialised would be this: potential war criminals and arm manufacturers implicated in a genocide allowed to roam and operate freely, while citizens get arrested for opposing a genocide.
You occasionally get a moment that symbolizes everything wrong with this country. In this case it's a U.S. Marine veteran screaming out that no one wants to fight for Israel and a U.S. Senator breaking his arm. A perfect encapsulation of US foreign policy.
You have to defend yet another massive U-turn from your boss and your boss is Donald Trump and you decide to go with ‘other presidents were the dumb ones’ as your defense. Got it.
The Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 deeply condemns the interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international water, which was carrying humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza, by the Israeli occupying forces.
"When is enough enough? 65,000 people have lost their lives"
"And please, don't say Israel has the right to defend itself. The world knows what Israel has the right to do. You're watching it. You're letting them do it"
"Britain and America are backing each other to the hilt"
"You're arming the Israelis. You're slaughtering innocent Palestinian men, women and children"
"And you really don't care" #BBCQT
"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.
It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.
Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine."
