Nigeria, 150 other countries adopt UN resolution supporting Palestinian sovereignty over natural resources
One hundred and fifty-one countries, Nigeria among them, have voted in favour of a United Nations resolution affirming Palestinian sovereignty over natural resources. Fellow African nations Kenya, Ghana, Niger, Liberia, and Mali were also among those who cast their votes in support.
The resolution signals a broad, cross-continental show of solidarity, with African states standing alongside a majority of the international community on the question of Palestinian economic and territorial rights.
With resource sovereignty sitting at the heart of so many African nations' own histories, the continent's near-unified position on this vote is one worth watching closely.
