THE renewed demand by President Bola Tinubu, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and Kenyan President William Ruto for Africa to be permanently represented in the United Nations Security Council is a timely reminder that the world’s foremost multilateral institution is long overdue for fundamental reform, and that now is the time to end the continent’s marginalisation in global decision-making and align the UN with contemporary geopolitical realities. But legitimate as the demand is, Africa itself must live up to the expectations of the international community to earn the status and respect that will facilitate the achievement of this request.
