\n——————————————–
\nUnited Nations Secretary\u2011General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres has warned that the current international system is unfair and has hindered Africa from fully realizing its extensive economic, political and social potential.<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on social media on Monday, Guterres said that African countries have long lacked equitable access to global resources, effective participation in decision\u2011making and proportional voice in international affairs. \u201cAfrica\u2019s enormous potential is being constrained by an unfair international system. That must change,\u201d he wrote, emphasizing the need for reforms that would ensure African nations are appropriately represented and heard in global governance structures.<\/p>\n
Guterres\u2019s remarks come amid broader discussions this week among African leaders and international partners about reforming global financial and political systems to address long\u2011standing imbalances. At a summit in Nairobi yesterday, African officials, joined by the UN chief and international partners, urged changes to the global credit and investment architecture to improve access to financing and equity in international markets\u2014a step they said would help unlock African development potential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
