South African President Jacob Zuma has spoken out strongly about Africa’s lack of representation in the United Nations Security Council and issues affecting Africa in the global spectrum.
“It is unacceptable and unjustifiable that more than one billion people on the African continent are still excluded as permanent members of the key decision making structure of the United Nations, the UN Security Council,” said Zuma
“We are no longer colonies. We are free, independent sovereign states. We welcome the fact that the push for the reform of the UN Security Council by Africa has had an impact and has also given some impetus to the inter-governmental negotiations process, which has been looking at reform.
“We will continue working with progressive states towards the expansion of representation,” added the president.
