The core questions of this APS Open debate are: .1. Does the UN Pact for the future offer any opportunities for repositioning Africa's place in the World? .2. How should Africa negotiate permanency on the UN Security Council?.@africa_amani @ALC_KCL #AfricaWeek #KingsAfrica2025

Power will not always be given; it will have to be taken. Rising needs action beyond rhetoric and acting in one accord. Africa must fund its development. We have to look at what we have ourselves. A divided continent cannot negotiate at all. @MEsipisu @Kings_SGA

Africa must meaningfully invest in her universities to produce the quality of leaders needed to position the continent in strategic Global Leadership. Dr Godwin Murunga @CODESRIA

The opportunities that we are faced with seem to divide instead of unite, argues Dr John Kayode Fayemi, visiting Professor at @ALC_KCL

The next battle for the continent is going to be on minerals. The only way to add value to our minerals is by speaking with one voice. How will Africa position itself in the latest global race for rare earth minerals?.@africa_amani @Kings_SGA @KingsCollegeLon

If we do not operate as a collective, the divide and conquer will happen—more cohesive engagement with a focus on leadership. @ZambiaHigh #APSDebate #Africa2025 #KingsAfricaWeek.

The Mandela generation hasn’t died, it is nurturing future generations. @Kings_SGA @KingsCollegeLon

I don’t want to see African marginalization; we also need African solutions for global problems, an equitable world where everyone has equal participation. @ChathamHouse.

Global governance systems are in crisis, and the West is ‘tired’. It’s a marketplace for new ideas, narratives, and approaches. There are positive steps forward. The first-ever G20 summit will take place on African soil. #APSDebate @Kings_SGA

Ambassador Scott argues that Africa needs to work together. She says this against the backdrop of Dr Sam Nujoma's burial, whose mantra was African Unity. @NamibiaUK

The Pact for the Future is a new agenda that needs to be considered, along with Agenda 26. The Pact for the Future can be used as an agenda for Africa, a roadmap for Africa and the South, BRICs and the AU. African leaders and institutions should come together in an agenda-setting

Africa has abundant natural resources that will continue to play a key role in technological advances and smart manufacturing. Strategies must be found to ensure that Africa becomes the core of innovation. @FunmiOlonisakin @MEsipisu @CrisisGroup @EroComfort i @MOROCCOinUK

In looking solely at problems, we forget the strategic opportunities in Africa; these should be at the fulcrum of our conversation rather than focusing on problems.#APSDebate #Africa2025 #KingsAfricaWeek.

Africa is a continent riddled with deeply challenging issues. Dr Pandor shares the book Prisoners of Geography by Tim Marshall, which addresses how Africa has yet to fully take advantage of its natural assets.@ALC_KCL @africa_amani @UbaloziUK @Omoba_modee @yours_lilo @spearmunya.

There are many events troubling the world today: coups in Africa and turbulence in Palestine. We may be in the midst of the worst assaults on freedom and democracy. We must re-establish the values of democracy, freedom justice and development. #APSDebate #Africa2025.

Dr Naledi Pandor says, "The global community has to find new and refreshed strategies for entrenching peace and security on the continent. International solidarity and action were essential in the fight against the Apartheid state and achieving freedom for SA.".@africa_amani
