The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has reiterated his support for Africa’s inclusion as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, stressing that there is no justification for the continent’s continued exclusion.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Guterres expressed his commitment to working with the African Union (AU) and UN member states to ensure Africa receives the representation it deserves.
“There is no excuse that Africa still lacks permanent representation on the Security Council. I will keep working with the @_AfricanUnion and all @UN Member Countries to ensure the representation Africa needs – including with two permanent members.”
