The head of state appealed to strong emotions, citing the isolation as unfair and destroying the institution’s integrity.
Speaking on Wednesday, September 24, during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Ruto said the continuation of Africa was no longer tolerant.
He noted that despite Africa being the center of the Council’s agenda and contributing significantly to the peacekeeping operations, the continent still has no permanent seat in the powerful entity.
Ruto Ausuta UN
The president reminded the delegates that 2025 celebrated 20 years since the Ezulwini agreement with the Sirte Declaration, a historic agreement that defined Africa’s joint position on the United Nations reform.
Ruto criticized the international board for repeatedly ignoring Africa’s call to be included in decisions that often affect the continent.
“For two decades, Africa has spoken in one voice, demanding justice, equality, and representation in the highest entity of the international governance. Ruto said.
Ruto emphasized that Africa’s isolation from permanent membership could no longer be confirmed, due to the continent’s role in international affairs.
He pointed out that African countries are often targeted by security council debates and that the continent contributes to some of the largest UN peacekeepers.
“It is impossible to call yourself the United States while ignoring the voice of 54 nations. Ruto said.

How many permanent seats in the United Nations?
The president went on to claim that the current structure of the Security Council reflects the plans for the post -secular war.
Ruto explained that they are no longer in line with today’s geographical and political situation, warning that the UN could lose its validity and importance if it fails to reform.
“The exclusion of Africa is not only an unacceptable, unfair, unjust, and unjustified thing. It also undermines the integrity of this organization. He explained.
Ruto emphasized that Africa deserves at least two permanent seats in the council, with the authority of the veto, and two additional seats.

He emphasized that such reforms should not be considered as an agreement for Africa but as a need for UN life.
“The world must understand that reforming the Security Council is not a grace for Africa or to anyone. It is a must for the United States to continue to exist,” He said.
Why did Trump rebuke the UN?
Elsewhere, during his speech to the UN General Assembly, the President of the United States Donald Trump He criticized the UN equipment after the escalator he climbed suddenly and the telephompter intended for his speech failed.
He replied frantically, saying the only things he got from the UN were “bad escalator and bad teleprompter,” and warned anyone who was in charge of the teleprompter was “in serious problems.”
He referred to such errors as evidence of poor performance, with the United Nations later explaining that Eskalator stopped because a security mechanism was introduced.
