African Leaders Call for UN Security Council Reform and Fairer Global Financial System
—————————————–
African leaders have called for reforms to the international decision-making system, urging greater representation for the continent in global institutions and an end to what they described as historical inequalities in international governance and finance.

During the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, leaders from several African countries highlighted the need to address the imbalance of power in global affairs and ensure a more equitable role for Africa in major international decisions.

According to Anadolu Agency, the presidents of countries including Kenya, Sierra Leone and Seychelles emphasized the importance of reforming the UN Security Council and called for Africa to receive at least two permanent seats on the council.

Other African leaders, including officials from Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania, criticized existing inequalities in the international financial and economic system. They called for fairer access to long-term investment opportunities and greater participation of African countries in shaping global economic policies.

The calls reflect longstanding African demands for broader representation in international institutions, particularly in bodies responsible for global security and economic decision-making. Leaders argued that reforms are necessary to create a more balanced and inclusive international system.
