Africa must granted at least one permanent seat at UNSC: PM Abiy
I would like to use this opportunity to lend my voice yet again for Africa to be represented on the UN Security Council with at least one permanent seat and double non-permanent seats. Africa should be represented at the UNSC and Africa also needs to have proportional representation at the G-7, the G-20 and similar global forums.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said at the 36th AU summit

Africa needs to strengthen its multilateral relationship with the international community to make the continent’s voice heard by focusing on a partnership with the world in accordance with the specific needs of Africans.
Africans must strengthen its participation and contribute its role in international multilateral relations. Africa’s strong presence in international multilateral institutions would help both the continent and the world in general.

UNSG says Africa’s permanent seat demand at UNSC genuine
Africa’s request for permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is genuine and appropriate. It is my deep belief that the biggest injustice that exists today in the Security Council is the lack of at least one African permanent member of the Security Council
It would be essential to have an African stronger presence in the Security Council. Africa would be granted a permanent seat. Of course it doesn’t depend on me; it depends on the member states. But it is very understandable and just aspiration.
United Nations Secretary General (UNSG) Antonio Guterres said at the 36th African Union summit here in Addis Ababa last week.
