A total of 31 countries voted in favour of the call, seven abstained and nine voted against. The call was, however, adopted.

“From rhetoric to reality: a global call for concrete action against #racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance was ADOPTED,” UNHRC tweeted.

According to the UK Human Rights Ambassador, Rita French, her country voted against the call because “states are required to make reparations for the slave trade and colonialism, which caused great suffering to many but were not, at that time, violations of international law.”

What can Africa learn from the proxy war that the USA and NATO are waging against Russia in Ukraine? Is to start our own war in Nigeria before it gets late Nothing. Nobody is able to learn anything here. They are all getting tired. Even Russia is getting tired, that is why they are threatening Chemical Weapons.
