On Sunday, May 5, 2024, at the Mageuzi Hub in the leafy suburbs of Kilimani in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, several representatives of civil society organisations, including the Kenyan chapter of the Young World Federalists, met to discuss the future of the United Nations. The discussions were characteristically led by a candidate for the UN Secretary-General position, and a co-founder of Atlas, a ‘global political party’, Colombe Cahen-Salvador, and the founder of Atlas, an aspirant for MEP representing Italy, Andrea Venzon. The officials of the Kenyan chapter of the Young World Federalists, Kennedy Karanja, Ian Mose Abuki and Diljot Dhindsa, made several interventions that reverberated with the energetic crowd, including radical proposals for solving the debt crisis facing many African and developing countries.
