UN Chief Antonio Guterres is now headed to West Africa after his weeklong efforts in Eastern Europe. The Secretary General’s office has announced that he will begin a Ramadan solidarity visit with stops in Nigeria, Niger and Senegal during which he will also highlight the impacts of the Ukraine war on the African continent. Haq says the UN Chief will also take part in Eid celebrations with President Mohamed Bazoum of Niger and is scheduled to meet President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria. The Secretary-General began annual Ramadan solidarity visits when he was High Commissioner for Refugees, but the tradition was interrupted by the pandemic. This year, he will also use the visit to express his solidarity with victims of terrorism in the region.
