As UN General Assembly's general debate continued Saturday, Horn of Africa nations made a strong plea for action to rescue a world teetering on the precipice of climate catastrophe and struggling under the weight of an outdated and unfair global financial system.
Leaders from Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea painted a grim picture of a planet marred by the unforgiving impacts of climate change. They left no room for equivocation: This is an existential crisis that demands immediate, collective action.
Mr. Barre commended the bravery and sacrifices made by the African Union's Transition Mission in Somalia and thanked its troop contributing countries. Lifting this embargo would allow his country to combat terrorism even more effectively and build a peaceful and prosperous future for its people, he said.
He also voiced"grave concern" over the threat of nuclear weapons, calling for cooperation to ensure that new technologies such as artificial intelligence are used responsibly. He also showcased Ethiopia's efforts for sustainable development and climate action, noting its 10-year development plan aligned with the SDGs and the national"Green Legacy Initiative" to ensure development through rural and urban green programmes., underlining the need for an inclusive multilateral system.
While this is not irreversible, it does require massive investment to create a system that accounts for current geopolitical realities and reinforce close cooperation, he said.Foreign Minister Youssouf also reported that despite a deteriorating global economic situation, Djibouti has made notable progress in reducing malnutrition, managing the pandemic and aligning national policy with the SDGs.
