While delivering a keynote address during Africa Day celebrations hosted by the Kingdom of Morocco in Rabat, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, underscored the importance of the upcoming C10 Summit in Lusaka, Zambia, a critical platform to reaffirm Africa’s unified position on UNSC reforms, as articulated in the Ezulwini Consensus and the Sirte Declaration.
“Africa, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, continues to be significantly underrepresented in the global security architecture. It is for this reason that we remain steadfast in advocating for urgent and meaningful reforms at the United Nations Security Council,” said PCS Musalia Mudavadi.
Looking ahead to Lusaka, PCS Musalia Mudavadi emphasized the continent’s unwavering resolve: Africa must secure a permanent seat at the table where matters of peace, conflict resolution, and global governance are decided.
To celebrate Africa Day is to remember the heroic battles against colonialism, apartheid, and foreign domination but also to acknowledge the paths of resilience, reconstruction, and affirmation pursued by African societies.
Recognizing the continent’s rich diversity: its linguistic, cultural, artistic, and spiritual heritage; its dynamic youth; its resilient women; its visionary intellectuals; and its rural and urban communities constantly innovating.
Today’s Africa is no longer confined to past narratives. It looks to the future strengthened by its human capital, continental ambitions, and its ability to shape a development model rooted in local realities while actively engaging with globalization.
