Will ai experts help africa via un or via national panels- bard suggested tracking african modesl like :
- African Union's AI Strategy Advisory Group: This group was established in 2021

context, in London from 2003 i represented the European chapter of Global Reconciliation Network movement started by Australian Relief Doctors. Muftah is a civil engineer i met in London in 2003 with family in Libya. GRN actually convened dialogue with 1000 Gandhians in Delhi xmas 2004 the week before the tsunami. When you make a list of 21C disasters its hard to see much light. However I do trust Guterres; because he'd become leader of Portuguese red cross , from 2004 he was in the middle of medical and refugee hero networks. I dont think I know much on MENA but I have come to always value actions of sheika moza HH Sheikha Moza's Speech at the Intl Day to Protect Education from Attack 2023

ladies and gentlemen today I speak to you with a heavy heart hearing the news coming from Morocco from Libya thousands of people lost in these calamities it seems sometimes as though suffering never ends in April for example fighting erupted in Sudan the the ancient city of Khartoum ravaged by violence her people caught in Crossfire -Khartoum a city I have visited in happier times I remember a city with great Beauty situated on the Confluence of the two Niles the White and the blue.I remember a City full of generous welcoming and educated people .I remember the canvas of all this of many universities the University of Khartoum unfortunately this campus is now indefinitely closed along with all other universities in Sudan and earlier this year the students were forced to hide from fighting on that campus; at least one young man was killed and his body is buried there ladies and gentlemen University should be cradle of learning; it should be a bliss of Joy a place where young people gather and discover their purpose it should be a base where dreams are realized not destroyed; a university should never be a tomb look also at Ukraine -the headlines used to scream about this a new war -now like all other Wars it is footnote-like Yemen like Syria like Mali like ethiopia forgotten by the media, forgotten about by those fortunate to live in places where bombs do not rain and where gun wielding militia do not roam the streets Yemen Syria Ukraine Sudan when will this end? well the answer is one with rather not hear we cannot delude ourselves that we will ever stop conflict can we there will always be those with an interest in propigating war those for whom more and violence generate money and power and some of these are recogizable we see their faces and ours in our screens others are working in Shadows unseen but their work has bitter consequences today one quarter of the global population live in conflict-affected regions
last year 84 million people fled their homes and more than half of the world's Refugee children do not attend school well my friends human beings have developed laws and doctrines to tame our base Instincts and to reflect what we know what we know to be
right
to reign in terror and cruelty and greed so we must use these systems to bring criminals to account and we must not forget the victims- those those suffering in war zones or forced to become refugees many of them are children and young people like adrahman many of them have never known stability; many of them never known peace; these children and young people have a right to education I have heard it argue that learning is the least of their worries and concerns let me ask a question-how many of you here are parents
like me didn't you begin planning for your child's education as soon as they were born what school would they go to and what dreams and Ambitions yours and theirs will be realized ; where would education lead? to your child being a doctor or a scientist or a ? well my friends my friends these options are not open to so many; their schools destroyed, their lives
reduced to Bare bonds of surviving
ladies and gentlemen I come from a region that has its its fair share of conflict; when we are aware of a deep and Insidious purpose to attack our education perpetrators know that without learning Society does not progress; they know that if children do not
acquire the critical thinking necessary to ask questions the right questions the status quo will continue
they know that if children have no access to Quality education they may fall prey to those who would lead them into extremism -a disciple of ignorance is perpetuated imagine how those children could have been the ones who discover a new drug to fight cancer or who develop new technologies to combat climate change, who expand their nation's economies to conquer poverty well these battles not those involving gun and bombs are the the battles worth fighting these are the changes we should teach our children to overcome these are the reasons we must prioritize the education -the protection and dedication now and always and I believe that we can break the cycle we can find ways to educate vulnerables; we can redesign education to make learning more accessible we can use technology to bring accelerated learning to all and if we do so those Millions can achieve so much; so today I call on the powerful Tech I companies who tell us that that their products Transform Our words and our lives for the better
I call on them to help us I call on them to offer real solutions I call on them to disrupt the cycle so every vulnerable child can be educated
ladies and gentlemen the young man killed on that campus of the University of Khartoum, a young man with his life ahead of him, a young man whose Friends couldn't escape with his body so they buried him with his dreams who that young man's name was, you will never know nor what he could have achieved my friends it's time to ask ourselves what can we who are here at the United Nations what can we achieve?
