African leaders attending the BRICS summit in Russia are speaking out about pressing international issues. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi highlighted the shortcomings of the current international system, citing economic and development issues such as escalating debt problems and lack of funding, which hinder developing countries’ rapid economic growth.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized the need for World Trade Organization reform and recalibrating trade rules to enable industrialization. He also stressed the importance of cooperation among BRICS members through common development programs in exports, industrial cooperation, and technology exchange. Additionally, Ramaphosa expressed concern over the ongoing crisis in Gaza and the Middle East, advocating for an immediate ceasefire and recognition of Palestinian self-determination.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed called for reform of the UN Security Council to address the concerns of developing nations and ensure their voices are heard globally. He emphasized that this is not just about representation but about justice, equity, and allowing all nations to contribute to global governance.

The BRICS coalition has expanded significantly since its inception, now including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Malaysia have submitted membership applications, and other countries are showing interest in joining.

Key issues raised by African leaders include economic and development challenges, World Trade Organization reform, the Middle East crisis, and UN Security Council reform. These concerns underscore the need for global cooperation and representation.

The three-day summit marks the largest gathering of world leaders in Russia in decades, taking place amidst Western efforts to isolate Moscow over its actions in Ukraine. This gathering demonstrates the growing influence of the BRICS coalition in global affairs.
