from ALFRED SHILONGO in Windhoek, NamibiaNamibia BureauWINDHOEK, (CAJ News) – NAMIBIA’S President, Ndemupelila Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, has declared that Africa does not seek favours from the international community but demands fairness and equal recognition in shaping global peace and security. “Africa is not asking for handouts,” Nandi-Ndaitwah said. This year’s assembly comes as the UN marks its 80th anniversary and Africa commemorates two decades since adopting the Sirte Declaration and Ezulwini Consensus, which formed the Common African Position on Security Council reform. She emphasized that Africa’s push for representation must also ensure women’s full participation in global decision-making. A veteran liberation fighter and Namibia’s first female president, Nandi-Ndaitwah has consistently tied continental demands for equity at the UN to broader struggles against imperialism.
