Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Eswatini has taken a decision not to participate in voting on the ongoing situation between Russian Federation and Ukraine.<\/b><\/p>\n

This comes after a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly for African countries to vote. The UN Assembly has voted to demand that Russia stops its offensive and immediately withdraw all troops. About 28 countries voted in favour of the UN resolution, while 17 abstained and one vote was against the resolution. The country and seven others, including Bukina Faso, Cameroon, Ethopia, Guinea, Ginea-Bissau, Morocco and Togo, did not participate. According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Thuli Dladla, Eswatini is very concerned about the continued deterioration of relations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Dladla stated that the developments signified by the military action between the two brotherly countries was regrettable.<\/p>\n

\u201cNoting the difficult issues under contention between the two nations, Eswatini is encouraging a process of rapprochement through an honest engagement in dialogue and negotiation, that will find a lasting solution and a permanent de-escalation of tensions,\u201d said the minister. She said in essence, all member states of the United Nations (UN), should work towards a unified purpose to bring Russia and Ukraine on the negotiation table, bringing along all means possible to broker a peaceful resolution, in accordance with the UN Charter, which was a constant reminder about the goodness of humanity. The minister said Eswatini had a commitment to all countries, big and small, to show equal regard of dignity and relevance, in a world that continued to be divided.<\/p>\n

Dladla said the country was of the view that International Law should take precedence and that the UN is very significant in playing its all important role to mediate and persuade an inclusive process that will end the conflict with immediate effect. She said the UN may not fail in this regard, and should find its relevance to build bridges of peace and security, by confronting the geopolitical challenges of this lifetime.<\/p>\n
