President William Ruto has urged African leaders to unite in advocating for reforms of the United Nations Security Council, emphasizing that Africa's exclusion is unacceptable. He highlighted that Africa carries a disproportionate share of the council's agenda and contributes significantly to UN peacekeeping but remains without permanent representation.

• President Ruto stated that this "historic injustice must end, the time to act is now."
• The remarks were made at the 7th Summit of the Committee of 10 (C-10) Heads of State and Government on the Reform of the UN Security Council.
• Other key attendees included chair of C-10 President Julius Maada Bio of Sierra Leone, AU chair João Lourenço of Angola, and African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, who emphasized that Africa "will no longer wait on the margins of history."
