    For clarification, Mali’s representative voted incorrectly by pressing the wrong button and they immediately changed the record and voted for the resolution.

        It may not be related, but Liberia’s current president is a western bootlicker in his Foreign Affairs, and he was a Football player that played for 15 years for teams in Britain, Italy, and France. He also met with Macron to try and “maintain relations” between the two countries, and he voted for the Canadian-American-Mexican FIFA bid, unlike almost every other African nation which voted for the Morocco bid.

          It’s probably that, every other African country has voted in favour of this resolution too

    Since 2021, the vote has moved from 130 for, 2 against, 49 abstain to 105 for, 52 against, 15 abstain. Basically, the US empire has whipped its hesitant vassals into being wholeheartedly pro-Nazi. A little frightening to see Germany vote against, but they also went with the US’s plan to demilitarize and de-industrialize by cutting all ties with Russia so it’s not like Nazi Germany can do anything this time.
