Africa Voiceless

When speaking loudly , the voice does not reach 
its destinations,  accept ... it is a voiceless. 
Quote by poet 

Africa voiceless, 
Where some decisions of the world are taken 
None of African countries participate.
Why? 
 none of them has " Droit de Veto " 
in UN security council. 
It had been decades when Africans leaders  
claimed  about injustices in the world  
and they were ignored till today. 
Imagine about the continent of fifty four countries
 continue being under umbrella of some foreign 
countries when some world decisions are always  taken. 
Imagine when some U.S presidents decided to hit 
some countries  " Irak , Afghanistan... so on"  
none of the  African head of states was there. 
When president of Russia decided to hit Ukrain
 none African countries  was consulted as
 they don't have " Droit de Veto." 
If some European countries with " Droit de Veto " failed 
to stop president Putin to hit Ukrain 
 some Asian countries with Droit de Veto failed to stop
 U.S Presidents to hit Irak, Afghanistan ...so on. 
which African country could succeed without that right? 
Some people found it easy to trap an African country to arrest a current president who has " Droit de Veto "
 At other hand  they know the consequences
 that country will face for decades.
