14:10 Imran Khan Praised

[@muhammadhussain5854]

imran khan is our pride long live PAKISTAN 🇵🇰❤🇵🇰

Stop begging for validation from these colonizers.

Actually he would have begged for 10 bn dollars to meet the target. Borris sent him back with dry complement instead

[@themintleaf1778]

Boris, it is too bad unfortunately you spoke so late in the evening in the General Assembly that all the UN Member States were represented by junior level staff. All the Heads of Delegations e.g. Prime Ministers, Presidents, even Foreign Ministers including the Secretary-General of the UN had gone home. Even the UN Security Officers who should have stood behind you were missing.

[@AndrewJamesKirkwood]

At first I thought that Boris Johnson is wearing another of his ill fitting suits, but then I realised that there's nothing wrong with it, it's well tailored, the real problem lies with the cut of the fool wearing it.

[@smellslikethinice1107]

It's his posture. Look at Theresa May, they all have a posture of begging. The UK have a servitude attitude and hence their posture.

One of the greatest speeches I've ever heard. For those who possess a closed mind, I suppose there's little point in suggesting you view this address to the UN General Assembly. The detail, philosophy, and humour in this speech offered those, open to persuasion, a case for a world of individuals to consider an alternative route we may take. The only things missing were aggression and superior dogma. Make what you will of this refreshing change. Robert

[@thinkingbig2280]

Just as well Boris was not talking about inequality in Britain He would of still been talking next week.

[@arpanmalakar11]

This is called working for benefits. First he praised india so much by calling modi "friends" and now praising imran Khan of Pakistan. Really India needs to follow the path of China (not ally with China, just follow the path) if it ever dreams to become a developed nation. If Modi depends on the western countries it will never become a developed country. The west only works for interests. So does UK and boris. He just works for interests and buisness hoping for more benefits of UK. We really need to overthrow the corrupt government and place dictatorship. Really, democracy is just another blunder promoted by the British to exploit the Indians. Someone truly said: "If the white people leave the power of this country and go away, then the browns will sit on that power and the situation will remain the same. The rich will get richer, and the poor will become more poorer. There will come a time when this country will be set on fire in the name of religion that the backs of the races that come to quench it will be broken"

UN MISSION TO WEST PAPUA IS URGENTLY NEEDED. What happens in West Papua? 1. Human rights Violences since Act of Free Choice. 2. Slow motion Genocide targeting those who are supporting Free West Papua. 3. Arbitrary Detention against Peaceful demonstration and massive protests. 4. Massive waves of Transmigration to West Papua. 5. Marginalisation. West Papua people gradually get marginalized on their own land. 6. Racism and Discrimination against Black West Papua people by Indonesians. 7. No Democracy in West Papua. 8. Freedom for Speech, opinion and expression are strictly banned. 9. Human rights defender and activists are being arrested and imprisoned recklessly by Indonesia police officer. 10. West Papua people are significantly becoming minority on their own land. 11. Illegal Mining Companies have been continuously stealing our natural resources such as Freeport Indonesia, LNG and Petrogras. 12. Illegal Logging. Humongous forest in West Papua are being exported by Indonesia. 13. Palm Oil Plantation. 14. Illegal Hunting and Fishing by Non-Papua people in West Papua. 15. Special Autonomy law is forcibly implemented even though West Papua people already refused such "Killer machine". 16. West Papua island is now taken control by Migrants, not West Papua. 17. West Papua National Liberation Army (OPM/TPNPB) is protector of West Papua people, the security for its natural resources, freedom fighter and the last Guardians for West Papua. They are not Terorist. 18. Current study shows that more than 50.000 innocent civilians of West Papua have been tortured and assassinated by Indonesia army forces. 19. For four recent years, 2017-2021 inclusive, more than 30.000 Indigenous Papuans had fled their homes and villages due to Indonesia Military clandestine operation in West Papua. People from 10 districts are still inside the refugee's camps. 20. At the moment, more than 20.000 Indonesia heavily armed troops are deployed across the island of West Papua.
