I keep seeing tweets about the UN not intervening and it's funny.

Because Articles 2(4) and 2(7) aside, the UN does not actually care about us unless they are coming for their yearly photoshoots for their websites and calendars.

Why do I say so? A short thread... 1/?

The United Nations was established in October 1945 by the UN Charter. It declared all nations sovereign and equal.

If you're in Africa, when did your country actually become independent and sovereign? Just do the math.

They'll tell you "those things take time"... 2/?

Okay okay, we will take that excuse.

Now the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was declared in 1948.
Article 1 states that "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights..."

Again, when did your African country gain freedom from these same people? 3/?

They'll tell you that the UDHR was merely 'declaratory and had no binding force'. Okay okay, we'll just take this excuse too.

Now the UN has a Security Council with five permanent members who hold the Veto Power:
China, France, Russia, USA and ofc UK(the champion oppressors) 4/?

The rest of us take turns like it's some 'employee of the month' rotation.

And ofc there's an excuse for that as well, I mean they 'considered' things like our development, peace, security, resources, you name it hahaha.

Kyer3s333 wonni sika aa you can't say some. 5/?

The powers of the world will only intervene when they seek to reap some benefit. Look at US' intervention in Panama, Nicaragua, etc.

But if there's nothing to be earned by them they will quote Article 2(4) and 2(7) of the UN Charter rn.

krakra? Some countries are more 'equal'.
