Africa calls for international solidarity nad burden sharing



We have already heard the position of African states during their speeches, when we concluded that obviously the concept of burden sharing presents a common standpoint for them that they are determined to achieve. We recorded an additional common position with the representatives of Ethiopia, H.E. ms. Avsenik and Nigeria, H.E. mr. Mihelin.



They emphasized once more their support for international solidarity and burden sharing concept.
"At tomorrow's session we will also address the responsibility of developed countries towards developing concerning the issue of forced migrants," added H.E. ms. Avsenik. See more in the video below, in which you will also find an additional statement by the Nigerian representative, H.E. mr. Mihelin. He shared some information regarding Nigerian position on forced migrations and some insight into the Kampala convention (you can also read more about it in one of our previous background article). In the video you will also find an additional statement by the representative of Egypt. As Egypt is facing with a large number of migrants from Libya and Sudan, we asked the representative of Egypt, ms. Čakič for some more information. Regarding this topic, Egypt will encourage all the states to join them in the burden sharing regime.
