We just received messages from the ruler of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa.
Al Thani spoke about many different regional topics including Lebanon’s economy, conflicts in Libya and Yemen, racism, the environment, and what he called “harsh and extreme” Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip.
He also praised Qatar for organizing the 2022 World Cup very well, saying it should be used as an example for future tournaments.
Ramaphosa mainly talked about how it is getting harder to achieve the goals of the UN’s Agenda 2030. He said that things like war and other disasters have made it more difficult to reach those goals.
He said that the wars in Africa and Ukraine can and should be stopped.
He also asked other countries to do more to help bring peace and stop violence in Africa, especially in Sudan and the Horn of Africa.
