Somalia Calls for Two Africa Seats on Security Council
Somalia called for an end to the "historical injustice" suffered by Africa in its representation on the United Nations Security Council. It demanded that the continent be granted two permanent seats with veto power, in addition to five non-permanent seats. The Deputy Somali Envoy stressed that Africa accounts for two-thirds of the issues considered by the council, and therefore, it must have a strong voice that genuinely reflects its interests. He clarified that the African Union's stance, which advocates for two permanent seats with full rights and veto power, aligns with this. He also emphasized that international support for African mediation efforts is crucial to addressing and resolving conflicts, with a focus on coordinating peace operations and increasing the necessary resources to ensure their sustainability.
