In a recent development concerning the Middle East conflict, the Sierra Leone Government has strongly condemned Iran’s attack on Israel.
The representative of Sierra Leone to the United Nations addressed the Security Council, emphasizing the urgent need for de-escalation and diplomatic engagement to prevent further destabilization of the region and potential global repercussions.
During the Security Council meeting, the representative thanked UN Secretary-General His Excellency António Guterres for his briefing on the situation. The Council was presented with letters from both the Permanent Representative of Israel and Iran detailing the recent military actions.
Israel’s letter, dated 13th April 2024, reported that Iran launched over 200 UAVs, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles from its territory towards Israel. Israel labeled this attack as a clear violation of the UN Charter and international law. Conversely, Iran’s letter confirmed that they conducted military strikes on Israeli military targets late on the same day.
Reacting to these developments, the Sierra Leone representative stated that the Middle East is at a dangerous crossroads.
The escalating tension not only threatens the stability of the region but also poses a risk to global peace and security. The representative recalled Sierra Leone’s recent condemnation of the use of force in violation of international law and the UN Charter.
Sierra Leone reiterated its strong opposition to reprisal attacks that do not comply with international law. The representative emphasized that military attacks are not the solution to achieving peace. Instead, diplomatic engagement and de-escalation are crucial.
Sierra Leone called upon both Iran and Israel, as well as other involved parties, to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from using force. All parties were urged to adhere to their obligations under international law, the UN Charter, and relevant Security Council resolutions.
The representative highlighted the importance of peaceful dispute resolution and respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each state. Sierra Leone also expressed concern about ongoing hostilities in the Gaza Strip and emphasized the need for the full implementation of Security Council resolutions 2712, 2720, and 2728.
Supporting the role of the United Nations in addressing global challenges, Sierra Leone expressed full support for the Secretary-General and his envoys in leading efforts towards de-escalation. The Security Council was urged to continue playing its part as envisioned by the UN Charter.
In conclusion, Sierra Leone called on states with influence over the parties involved to leverage their influence for peace and de-escalation. The representative emphasized the importance of choosing peace, security, and stability over war.
President Bio is an idiot and hypocrite! Because US, UK Western evil doers of the same feathers condemned the act that’s why he’s talking.
I think Sierra Leone needs not to be biased when judging Israel and Iran’s matter. It is Cristal clear that the west is racist based on religion and region. All the Asian countries except Japan, Philippines and Israel are targeted by the US and allies especially the Arabic speakers. If the US and allies are granting Israel the right to defend himself simply because Palestine invaded their land, why not Iran. As the mother of facts Palestine was only defending their own territories illegally taken by the Israelites. And as a result Palestine should be defending themselves instead of Israel.
Israel hasn’t got any right to bomb Iranian consulate in Syria and for which they break international law giving the Iranian’s the right to defend themselves. Is this the way Sierra Leone is judging matters in the security council?
Be careful
Why didn’t they condemned the action of Israel towards Iran.
When they send missiles towards Iranian diplomats in Syria which case the death of 12 Iranian
Salone we really funny
Na shame maada bio e govt nor get…..you nor able clean u house u dea put mot pa watin nor concer you…. Alakie govt na hunger dea kill you ppl dem so wuna dea pa propaganda
Why the government didn’t condemn Israel attacks on palistine?
Double stab
Why the government did not condemn the attacks on Palestine?
Double standard.
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sierra Leone condemning Iran. Campaigning for the MCC pact
Why did you not condem the hostile actions of the IDF in Gaza and why did you not condem the bombing of the Iranian house in Syria, are you afraid of sanctions by the west? Are you not watching the recent happened in Gaza?
If Sierra leone representatives don’t have anything to say, let them keep quiet. Did Sierra leone representatives to the UN understand international law? Killing more than 30,000 innocent live in gaza is not a violation? Attacking Iran’s consulate in Syria is not a violation? But Iran response is a violation?
O my God what is this. Well it’s a bullshit this is just the beginning 🙃
This is rubbish, when Israel invaded Palestine did you see that to be violating international law and UN Character? Why are we so selfish? Everyone knows that the U.S. is in support of Israel and has been given their support in different ways to kill Innocent souls in Palestine you have nothing to say about it, because we depend on them for financial aid. Sierra Leone, it’s high time we start to take responsibility for our lives, it’s petty to see a nation depends only on donors, how long are we going to continue living in deprivation, stagnation, and all? You are afraid of the U.S., to tell the truth, because you have to go there and beg, hilarious!! If I may advise as a patriotic Sierra Leonean my advice goes like this. “If you can’t help to curb the situation don’t try to escalate it, please”
Israel has no right to invade Palestine, it is a complete violation of human rights, let’s face the fact, don’t be a coward for your selfish interest.
