This year’s United Nations General Assembly gets under way Monday in New York. According to the UN, world leaders will debate accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace and prosperity. For many African leaders the issue of a seat on the Security Council is expected to future prominently in their speeches, as it has in the past. This year, the BRICS and G20 groups expanded their African membership. Professor Sipho Seepe, former Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Institutional Support at the University of Zululand, tells VOA’s James Butty, he doesn’t think Africa will get a UN Security Council seat any time soon because, unlike the G20, the Security Council is about the exercise of military and economic power.
