Communities across East Africa are facing a severe drought they did little to cause. Failed rainy seasons have destroyed crops, leaving millions in #Kenya and across the region struggling to find food and increasingly relying on humanitarian assistance ⬇ @oxfaminternational.bsky.social

Failed rains at the end of 2025 have pushed nearly 26 million people into extreme hunger in East Africa. Wells are drying up, crops are failing & livestock are dying. Women and girls are walking up to 15km for a little water, as water prices are soaring ➡ africa.oxfam.org/latest/press...

Last year, 45% of all #UNSC resolutions addressed crises in Africa yet countries have no permanent voice in the room. When those who are most impacted aren’t represented, decisions fall short. It’s time for African leaders to push for a meaningful reform.

80% of UN Security Council resolutions involve conflict in Africa Exclusive: The disproportionate number of armed conflicts taking place Africa – many of which are climate-driven – has led campaigners to call for the continent to have better representation

Over the last 10 years, conflicts across Africa have dominated #UNSC resolutions. Yet, Africa still has no permanent seat on UN Security Council.

45% of #UNSC resolutions last year focused on #Africa, yet the continent still has no permanent seat. When those most affected aren’t represented, decisions fall short. At this year's #AUSummit, we call on African leaders to demand a real #UNSC reform.

People from the Global South arrived in Belém with hope, seeking real progress on adaptation and finance, but rich nations refused to provide crucial adaptation finance.
