Kenyan President William Ruto recently made a bold statement about the respect that African leaders deserve on the world stage. William Ruto declared that the days of summoning African leaders like children are over. Speaking with Mo Ibrahim at 2023 IGW African Leadership Ceremony, President Ruto declared that African presidents would no longer tolerate being treated like children by world leaders. He emphasized that African leaders are elected by their people and should be treated with the same respect as leaders from any other part of the world. The President's comments reflect a growing sense of pride and self-determination among African leaders, who are increasingly pushing back against Western dominance and demanding greater representation on the global stage. President Ruto's comments also highlight the importance of African unity in the face of external pressures. In recent years, African countries have come under increasing scrutiny from the West over issues such as human rights and democracy, often to the detriment of African interests. By asserting their right to be treated as equal partners, African leaders are sending a message that they will not be pushed around or dictated to by more powerful nations. This new assertiveness could help to shift the balance of power in international relations, giving African nations a stronger voice in global affairs and promoting greater respect for their sovereignty and independence. mo ibrahim ruto, kenya news, ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅SUPPORT US /AFFILIATE LINKS Use this affiliate link for your purchases at #MIZIZI International - https://bit.ly/3hajEY9 Support our channel - PayPal: newafricachannel(at)outlook.com Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thenewafricachannel/ Follow us on Twitter - https://twitter.com/TheNewAfricaCh1 Join us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thenew.africachannel.3 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✅COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER The New Africa Channel doesn't fully own some of the materials compiled in its videos.
