Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Recently, the UNSC held an open debate on strengthening the role of African states in addressing global security and development challenges. During the debate, Russia\u2019s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Chumakov, called on the international community to correct the historical injustice of Africa\u2019s underrepresentation in the Council.<\/p>\n

Africa\u2019s under-representation in the UN Security Council is \u201cno longer sustainable, almost 80 years after the United Nations was formed,\u201d Dr. Alexander Rusero, Head of the Department of International Relations and Diplomacy at Africa University in Zimbabwe, told in an interview.<\/p>\n

Echoing calls for increased African representation in the UN Security Council, Dr. Rusero argued that the current structure is a relic of the past and needs to be reformed. He highlighted the historical context of the creation of the UNSC in 1945, when no African nation had achieved independence.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you\u2019ll recall, the current scenario, as much as Africa\u2019s representation is concerned, is still pretty much a reflection of the immediate post-1945 design, which demarcates between the losers and the winners,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe UN, because of that, has pretty much remained a racially designed organization that purports to represent the world. But in a sense, it\u2019s a \u2018club of white men\u2019 that then presides over the global architecture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Rusero pointed out Africa\u2019s significant geopolitical and socio-economic potential, emphasizing that the continent\u2019s voice is crucial in shaping a more equitable and peaceful global order.<\/p>\n

The academic applauded Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Chumakov, for his call to correct \u201cthe historical injustice of Africa\u2019s underrepresentation\u201d in the UNSC.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that kind of truth that has been confronted by the Russian diplomat, Ambassador Chumakov, I think needs the support and to be rallied because it\u2019s a wake-up call to say it\u2019s a high time we remember Africa, which has been dismembered ever since slave trade took place,\u201d Dr. Rusero stated. \u201cThis is now the time to relocate Africa to its position to involve and uplift it on the attic of the menu of the global social, political, economic, technological, and cultural architecture.\u201dDr. Rusero believes that increased African representation in the UNSC would not only bolster global peace and security but also contribute to a more just and inclusive world. He highlighted Africa\u2019s unique approach to conflict resolution, emphasizing the continent\u2019s peaceful nature and its capacity for mediation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have never quarreled due to borders that were colonially and imperially designed and imposed on us. Imagine what would have happened if borders were imposed in France, if borders were imposed in the United Kingdom.,\u201d he said. \u201cThe world has a lot to learn from Africa with regard to peace and security than anyone else because we are the least aggressive continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Rusero expressed optimism that the tide is turning in favor of greater African representation, saying that the so-called \u201crules-based order,\u201d dominated by the Global North, is \u201ccoming to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an inevitable reality. We are never going to have a hegemonic superpower,\u201d he assumed, adding that the chances of Africa gaining a permanent seat in the UN Security Council are increasing.<\/p>\n

Western Dominance in UNSC<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean expert argued that this imbalance in the UN Security Council undermines global decision-making, highlighting the hypocrisy of Western powers in the UNSC.<\/p>\n

He pointed to the example of the European Union, saying 28 European states, minus the UK after Brexit, formed the EU, but they \u201cpretend this reality doesn\u2019t exist\u201d in the UN Security Council.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrance wants its slice of the cake. The UK wants its slice of the cake. But yet, at the EU level, they are one,\u201d Dr. Rusero stated.<\/p>\n

He further argued that the US, effectively \u201can extension\u201d of the UK, occupies another seat in the UNSC, further skewing the balance of power.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you have three states that pretend to be separate. They are one occupying separate positions. Then you have China representing Asia and Russia representing broader Eastern Europe. So where do you locate Africa in the scheme of things?\u201d he questioned.Dr. Rusero expressed appreciation for Russia\u2019s stance on this issue, recognizing Moscow\u2019s support for increasing African representation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Russia has also been grappling with the colonial matrix of power thanks to the Russian government under the leadership of President Putin,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo they [the Russians] are also first realizing that the only genuine ally that they have in this scheme of things could be Africa, because Africa does not seek disadvantage. Africa does not seek to continue being reduced as a beggar, as a charity case, but to have win-win relations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Rusero acknowledged that reform efforts are likely to face significant obstacles from Western powers, who benefit from the current structure. However, he expressed optimism about the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cA new generation of Africans is waking up to the call. A new generation of Africa is now wedding off certain colonial contracts, duress contracts that Africans continue to be subjugated under, even when they attained independence right from 1956 with Sudan, 1957 Ghana, followed by a wholesome package of states between the 1960s up to the 1990s,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

US Dollar \u2018Hegemony\u2019 & Biased International Financial System<\/p>\n

Dr. Alexander Rusero also issued a scathing critique of the Bretton Woods system and the dominance of the US dollar in international trade, arguing that it has hampered African economic development and undermined the continent\u2019s financial sovereignty.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the \u201cweaponization\u201d of the US dollar, explaining how African nations are often punished economically for not aligning with US foreign policy objectives. Dr. Rusero cited the experiences of Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Zambia, which have all suffered negative consequences due to the dominance of the US dollar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no convincing theory of economics other than to say that the US dollar hegemony is no longer sustainable in the 21st century,\u201d Dr. Rusero said. \u201cA US dollar hegemony is a pandemic to Africa, which needs to be immunized in terms of some vaccinations of some sort with respect to progressive policies, bilateral and multilateral relations that will bring the much-needed win-win scenario between Africa and any other progressive partner or player.\u201d<\/p>\n

The international relations expert also condemned the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, both institutions established under the Bretton Woods system, for imposing harmful policies on Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have tried all experiments on Africa, which came with the difficulties, paradoxes and complexities that we are still grappling with. You talk about the structural adjustment program that was imposed as conditions for financial lines of credit in Africa that brought untold suffering,\u201d he said.Dr. Rusero proposed a solution: a shift towards BRICS. According to him, progressive Africans should seriously consider joining the BRICS economic grouping and solidifying the idea of a BRICS currency.<\/p>\n

He added that African nations could also use their vast natural resources to create currencies that reflect their true economic potential.<\/p>\n

Dr. Rusero emphasized the need for greater African unity, criticizing the continent\u2019s internal divisions. Africa has the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and various regional economic communities, yet it takes 20 hours to travel between some African countries, he pointed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica can take care of the whole world, as it has been doing all along,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe need Africa to revitalize its agency and to take itself seriously in international relations and in the process before anyone can start to take us seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Rusero also highlighted the African Union\u2019s recent permanent membership in the G20 as a positive development, but stressed that this alone is not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica\u2019s voice now must be heard. Africa\u2019s voice must be taken seriously. Africa\u2019s urgency must be felt,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThe G20 members, some of whom are also complicit because they are part and parcel of those who sit in the Security Council, should see every reason and every right for Africa to be in that very same Security Council by way of a permanent seat.\u201d<\/p>\n
