Guterres also highlighted Africa’s energy potential while arguing that the continent receives too little investment despite its abundant natural resources.

HA! Not a chance!
He’s trying to funnel money to Africa. Easy for bureaucrats to steal that money because ... Africa.
Demand in one hand and defecate in the other and see which one fills up fastest!
Who does he think he’s jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?
Right, like when it was unjust when NO human had electricity, but one group figured it out…
Yope, spend trillions to subsidize lavish life of the Africa ruling class!
There are no investment in Africa, because it is guarantee loss to graft over there.
Oh, now it's climate chaos. Got it.
Great post.
U.N. is anti American crappola.
There is no significantly measurable climate change in existence. There is not even a measurably significant change in mean world temperature
If Musk can hab that much muny why canst I?
“Me toos” transference.
I demand pack of naked supermodels of my choice on my front doorstep.
I mean as long as we’re making utterly ridiculous demands that will never come true, what the hell? I might as well participate too.

Cons never giver up the con.
Why is there still a U.N.? I wish that building were gone and its inhabitants back to the countries to which they belong.
