{{Uganda’s Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Kutesa has demanded for Africa’s permanent membership at the UN security council saying a bigger part the council’s agenda relates to African situations and thus a need for an African Voice.}}
He said African states are like “visitors” on the Security Council because they seem inert in decision-making on even their own matters.
“We are not represented permanently and we do not have a veto like other members on the council. Why Africans?” he said.
He made the remarks in his keynote address at the launch of the national 50th anniversary celebrations of the Organisation of African Union (OAU)/African Union (AU) at Serena Hotel, in Kampala on Monday.
