'Too Serious to Be Left to Africans?' Nigerian Scholar Slams Africa's Exclusion From Nuclear Talks
Africa has the right to lead global nuclear discussions, citing South Africa's forced nuclear dismantling serving as proof of deliberate marginalization, local media quoted Nigerian Institute of International Affairs Director Eghosa Osaghae as saying.
Nuclear states must not use proliferation as a war pretext—the US-Israeli pressure on Iran aims to weaken Tehran, not stop nukes, Professor Femi Otubanjo reportedly warned.
No nation would survive nuclear war, Otubanjo reminded: radiation would block the sun, cause famine, and create an "artificial winter." He urged Nigeria to pressure nuclear states via the UN.
"Once you start a war, you don't know how it will end."
