UN-Scripted

Niger ends its two-year term in the UN Security Council as president of the body for a second time. A lot has changed in the world, in the Sahel region of Africa and in Niger since the country joined the Council in January 2020. On today's show, we review Niger's tenure with UN Ambassador Abdou Abarry and expert Michael Shurkin, Director of Global Programs at 14 North Strategies, a Dakar-based consulting firm. On our radar for the month: a long-awaited climate resolution to be possibly tabled and the G5 Sahel force once more in the spotlight. Just as you rely on UN-Scripted to learn about the Security Council's agenda every month, we rely on your donations to fund our work. Give to PassBlue before 12/31 and your donation is doubled!
