#Kente is a symbol of heritage, culture, and pride all over the continent 🌍. Originating from the Ashanti Kingdom in #Ghana 🇬🇭, this vibrant and intricately woven textile tells stories of tradition and community 🧵✨. Each color and pattern carries deep meaning—gold for royalty 👑, green for growth 🌱, and blue for peace 🌊, to name a few.
While it holds a central place in traditional Ghanaian attire, Kente has transcended borders, being embraced in countries like Togo 🇹🇬, Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮, and across the African diaspora 🌟.

🌍 A Call for Reform: Africa’s Push for Change in the UN Security Council 🌍
Recent discussions have highlighted Africa’s strong call for reform within the #UNSecurityCouncil. 📢 This is an important step in addressing the current structure and ensuring that all regions have fair representation. 🌐
In a powerful appeal for reform, Sierra Leone’s President, Julius Maada Bio, has urged for "Africa to be heard and its calls for justice and equity to be met." 🇸🇱 He described the African continent as an "undeniable victim" of a Security Council structure he deems unbalanced, outdated, and unrepresentative. 📢💬
The President argues that the case for this reform is compelling. #Africa, with its population of 1.3 billion people, is experiencing the fastest population growth in the world. 🌍📈 The 54 African countries represent 28% of UN member states. Paradoxically, despite this significant numerical presence, five of the eleven ongoing UN peacekeeping missions are in Africa, and four of the top ten troop-contributing countries are African. 🌍🕊️ Yet, the continent remains underrepresented in the Security Council. ⚖️
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also expressed support for Africa gaining a permanent seat, emphasizing the need to reflect global diversity and contemporary geopolitical realities. 🇩🇪🌍
Reforming the UN Security Council aims to create a more balanced and effective framework that reflects the diverse voices of the global community. 🏛️ Such changes could enhance the Council’s ability to address global challenges and promote equitable solutions. 🌟
