US Opposes African Interests at UN, Says PeacePro

The Foundation for Peace Professionals (PeacePro) has raised concerns regarding a 20-year trend of the United States opposing African interests at the United Nations. This statement follows a UN General Assembly vote on September 4, where 164 countries supported an African Union-backed resolution, while the US stood alone in opposition.

Abdulrazaq Hamzat, the executive director of PeacePro, emphasized the need for a thorough examination of the US's voting behavior towards Africa over the past two decades. PeacePro noted that the US has consistently opposed nearly all Africa-led proposals during this period.

The organization clarified that its inquiry is not anti-American but rather a diplomatic concern, questioning why the US frequently finds itself at odds with collective African positions at the UN if Africa is indeed a strategic partner of the United States.
