President Julius Maada Bio has assumed the Presidency of the United Nations Security Council, marking a significant milestone for Sierra Leone. From August 1st to 31st, 2024, President Bio will lead the Council, an event he describes as a “momentous tenure” for his nation.
President Bio expressed Sierra Leone’s pride in this leadership role. He highlighted the critical mission of his presidency: advancing urgent reforms within the United Nations Security Council. “Today, Sierra Leone is delighted to commence a momentous tenure as the President of the United Nations Security Council for the month of August,” President Bio stated. His focus will be on advocating for a reformed Council that ensures equitable, inclusive, and permanent representation for Africa.
President Bio emphasized the importance of addressing the historic imbalance in representation. “We will significantly advance the urgent need for reforms within the United Nations Security Council,” he asserted. “Our primary focus will be on advocating for the reforming of the Security Council to provide equitable, inclusive, and permanent representation for Africa. This will help amplify the voices of the 1.2 billion individuals living on the continent. It is our mission to correct this historic injustice that has persisted for 79 years.”
Under his leadership, the Council aims to spotlight Africa’s critical issues and enhance its role in global decision-making. President Bio’s agenda includes fostering dialogue and cooperation among member states to achieve these objectives.
Good luck to you President Bio on your tenure. My question, is it possible for us Africans to fight for the AU (African Unity) to hold the permanent position, rather than for a single country to hold it? In that case, the position will be rotating among the individual countries, probably on an annual basis.
What is Bio doing at the Olympics in France when we have ambassador or consulate in france?
It is very unfortunate for the United Nations’ Security Council to chaired by an Undemocratic leader, a Notorious Lair, a Thief and a killer president.
The UN staff know that Ma’ada Bio is not a Legitimate or Elected president. Ma’ada Bio shameless stole the June 24 th, ,2023 elections from its Rightful Winner; Dr. Samura Kamara.
Is the UN actually playing games with the people of Sierra Leone? Or have the UN staff Lost their Credibility and integrity?
The people of Sierra Leone are completely disappointed by the actions of the UN. Ma’ada Bio is not more important than all the people of Sierra Leone. Ma’ada Bio is going to the UN to represent Sierra Leone. He is not Sierra Leone. The people of Sierra Leone have spoken through the ballot box, our hard won Democratic means. Many souls were lost in our fight to gain democracy. The Western powers, who are our Teachers and Trainers in respect of Democratic norms are undermining our Democratic standards in Sierra Leone. We as Sierra Leoneans, have refused to accept Ma’ada Bio as a Legitimate president.
We are very surprise at seeing the UN accepting an election THIEF as a Chairman in the most respected International Institution in the World.
What message is the UN really presenting to the World?
The whole world knows that Ma’ada Bio did not win the elections but Shamelessly stole the Democratic Rights of the people of Sierra Leone.. This is the man you are encouraging to sit in the Highest Internationally Rrspectable Institutions.
The UN should ensure that they stop encouraging Ruthless, killer presidents /Leaders. These are people without Integrity.
Correction, Sierra Leone assumes the presidency, not Bio. That seat can be filled by the UN Permanent Rep. Also, assuming the presidency does not allow you to dictate the agenda or proceedings of the UN Security Council. You are merely presiding over the deliberations of the Council. Too much hype over an ordinary event
