António Guterres: UN Security Council Needs Permanent African Seat UN Secretary-General António Guterres has again called for a permanent seat for Africa on the United Nations Security Council. The only countries with permanent seats are China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The 10 non-permanent seats... rotate amongst regions, with three seats for African states; two each for the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Western Europe and “Other States” regions; and one for Eastern European states. Guterres last raised the issue in 2024. Is a seat at this table going to make a difference for Africa? Drop us a comment. Follow us: The Spearhead Video credit: UN Web TVshow more

Seat that they will give to Morocco...what will be the benefit of that?

I doubt it will many any difference but it's a start.

They always say it but no change will happen

There should be 2 rotating seats, amongst African nations. That would fix the problem, and the rotation is random.

I don't think it will make any difference for our continent, since it seems to be controlled by certain counties n only serving some.

Certainly it will have to work, if you look at the gradual shift of geopolitics due awareness that is starting to sweep down the global south. It will legitimize and make that seat really grounded 💪🏾

It'll make a huge difference because they can veto most of anti African policies within the UN. SA is the best candidate. We want to have "bombs of mass destruction" so that USA & other imperialists should think twice before attacking us.
