Kenyan President William Ruto has urged a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, stressing strict adherence to international law and a credible path toward a two-state solution. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Ruto also demanded long-overdue reform of the UN Security Council, arguing that its current structure is in a crisis of legitimacy. He declared that Africa will no longer accept being sidelined, noting that the continent contributes heavily to peacekeeping yet lacks a voice in key decisions. He insisted that granting Africa at least two permanent seats with veto power is a necessity for the UN’s own survival and relevance. Furthermore, Ruto highlighted Kenya’s leadership in the multinational mission to stabilize Haiti, urging the international community to remain committed to supporting the nation’s path to peace and renewal.
