At the UN, African Leaders Did Not Draw Attention to Home Conflicts, Analysts Say

of African Leaders at the UN General Assembly African leaders addressed the United Nations General Assembly on global issues including climate change, inequality, and international conflicts like the Gaza situation, but gave minimal attention to significant African conflicts. Despite wars in Sudan and Congo having killed thousands and created humanitarian crises, these conflicts received little substantive attention in African leaders' speeches. Analysts note this reflects limitations in African institutions and a reluctance to prioritize African issues on the global stage.
