I hate to say this but china has tons of influence in Africa because of the payday loan debt scheme they played on so many African Nations. In addition to that lots of Africans are sympathetic to Putin and Russian efforts around the world. Giving them votes could essentially just be giving China, Russia and communistic ideals additional votes.

America is the ONLY one to even offer anything like this ever, but you clowns don’t understand negations and diplomacy so you decide to turn it down.

@bradleykhanei4092 3 ай бұрын

Africa and its leaders don't deserve the veto: why? Because African leaders are not democratic and tend to rule with an iron fist! If they get the veto, it will be a blow to the club of democratic countries. And their veto power would be added to that of China and Russia: it would mean that the process of democratic change, which African citizens dream of, would be undermined! A small number of African countries [South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Botswana, Namibia] can exercise this veto power on behalf of the continent as a whole, but the problem is that, even if they are democratic, this veto power could be in the interests of the entire continent, which is leaning towards non-democratic values. So being democratic and representing non-democratic countries is a major challenge! Better, therefore, to keep the number of vetoes as it is and insist on advancing the exercise of democratic processes in Africa, Latin America and Asia (including the Arab countries) until the UN member states reach a reasonable number of countries willing to exercise democratic principles with tangible results. Otherwise, things will turn into chaos, and the UN Security Council will become a club for the persecution of those who tend to challenge their respective governments.

Yes, but so long as a number of the countries in the U.N. don't represent their own people and are given a chance to serve on the Security Council, it is reasonable that democratic countries with the veto power would not want to give up that power. I think any removal of veto power ought to go hand-in-hand with enforcing a minimum human rights standard on states who get to join the U.N. or be on the Security Council specifically. Dictatorships should not be able to contribute to the dictation of international executive action (of a military nature no less).

African nations gaining permanent Security Council seats with veto powers would make the institution more representative, but significant hurdles remain.

But it needs to be wary.

We all know why...When I was a pre-teen boy in the early 1970’s my father made me listen to a weekly radio show called “Letter from America” in a time when South Africa was deep in the Apartheid era. Here at the southern tip of Africa he was eager for me to learn the meaning of propaganda which at the time went straight over my head even as the white nationalist government controlled every word we read in the media at the time. The entire country’s population (both black and white) was orchestrated and choreographed through the use of radio and newspapers in an age before television. It was extremely effective because I was about eleven when I first discovered that South Africa had a majority black population that was completely disenfranchised. Those memories are being brought back to life right now as I see the American population and to an exponentially greater degree the citizens of Israel mindlessly dance and sing to their master’s voice. No one here has any respect for anything American today, and the Zionists are universally despised. Back in the 70’s my father told me that I will one day see the people of Europe erect a statue in honour of Adolf Hitler. It appears that time is fast approaching.

@@Tejaye777 This is what people don't understand about the UN. These five countries have veto power because they have the most geopolitical power. Take the US vetoing Palestinian statehood for example. Most of the UN would love to admit a country which is half ruled by a terrorist organization. Without the US veto, they would do just that, Israel would feel threatened and invade, Middle Eastern countries would attempt to invade Israel, and the US would move three aircraft carriers to the region and end the conflict in a couple months, because they have the military and geopolitical power to do so. But the outcome of that conflict is several hundred thousand casualties, both military and civilian, not to mention the end of any chance for a Palestinian state, since Israel would certainly take Gaza and West Bank after the dust settles. As one can see, as counter productive as the veto seems at times, it is preventing significantly worse outcomes by giving major powers more geopolitical authority, so they don't have to use military force to end up in the same place.

The problem is that, African Countries must first be able to love themselves and to be able to make their own decisions in regarding the development of their countries. Because the African Union has been a failure for several years, in the sense that Westerners or Easterners continue to manipulate them, and themselves threatening their own Populations. Therefore, having a Place in the Security of the United Nations or the Right of Veto is only Secondary. Because if African Leaders continue to be manipulated or to destroy their own Countries for their own benefit, having the Right of Veto in the National Security Council of the United Nations will not change anything for the African People. In conclusion, today's World needs the balance of all global Axes, namely the Western Axis, the Eastern Axis and the African Axis to face the Serious Issues that the World is experiencing. For this, "Awareness"is essential for Everyone to save this Planet today and for the future.
