South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said, тАЬCenturies after the end of the slave trade, decades after the end of the colonial exploitation of AfricaтАЩs resources, the people of our continent are once again bearing the cost of the industrialisation and development of the wealthy nations of the world.тАЭ
President Ramaphosa today (19 Sep) made his remarks at the High-level week of the General Assembly.
He reiterated, тАЬThe wealth of Africa belongs to Africans, the mineral wealth that is beneath the soil of Africa, must in the end accrue to Africans.тАЭ
He urged global leaders to тАЬaccelerate global decarbonisation while pursuing equality and shared prosperity.тАЭ
President Ramaphosa also highlighted, тАЬIt is a grave indictment of this international community that we can spend so much money on war, in fact trillions are spending on war, but we cannot support action that needs to be taken to meet the most basic needs of billions of people in the world, needs such as addressing hunger, health, empowering woman and making sure that there is development in countries that are vulnerable.тАЭ
He called on wealthier countries to тАЬmeet the financial commitments they have made,тАЭ adding that тАЬit is a great concern that these wealthier countries have failed to meet their undertakings to mobilise 100 billion dollars a year for developing economies to take climate action.тАЭ
