UNITED NATIONS, July 30 (Xinhua) — The United Nations Security Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution extending sanctions on armed groups operating in the Central African Republic (CAR) and others undermining peace in the country for one year until July 31, 2026.

Resolution 2789, adopted unanimously by the 15 council members, requires all member states to “take the necessary measures to prevent the direct or indirect supply, sale or transfer of arms and related materials of all types to armed groups and associated individuals operating in that country,” according to a report on the UN Security Council meeting.

It also extends the mandate of the panel of experts that assists in implementing the sanctions until August 31, 2026.

Last year, the UN Security Council lifted the arms embargo on the CAR government through Resolution 2745, but left in place an arms embargo on armed groups and associated individuals operating in the CAR, as well as targeted asset freezes and travel bans on entities and individuals designated by the Sanctions Committee. –0–

ACCRA, July 30 (Xinhua) — Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday called on African leaders to build a solid foundation for inclusive governance and protection of civil liberties in their countries, he said in his opening speech at the 13th African Union High-Level Dialogue on Democracy, Governance and Human Rights in Accra.

The Ghanaian leader stressed that inclusive governance and the protection of civil liberties are essential components of legitimate and resilient states.

Commenting on the theme of the dialogue, “Justice, Law, Reparations and Nation Building,” J.D. Mahama said the current meeting “must not be another ceremonial event filled with high-flown rhetoric but devoid of action.”

“We must defend press freedom, listen to the voices of young people, women and marginalized groups and protect them,” he said.

J.D. Mahama also called on African leaders to match their commitments to democracy and governance with concrete action, warning that citizens, especially the youth, were growing tired of broken promises. Young people constitute the majority of the population and are growing impatient, but they are not asking for handouts but for justice, opportunity and a stake in the continent’s future, the president stressed.

He pointed to the need for transformative leadership and inclusive development across the continent to restore trust among youth and marginalized groups. –0–

CARACAS, July 30 (Xinhua) — Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ivan Gil on Tuesday accused U.S. Embassy Charge d'Affaires in Colombia John McNamara of kidnapping 33 Venezuelan children.

D. McNamara “is the perpetrator of this crime, directly responsible for maintaining this illegal and deeply immoral situation,” the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote on social networks.

The children were “separated from their families, which is a clear violation of international law, human rights and even their own [US – Xinhua] laws,” the official said. He denounced the practice of separating families as “criminal, inhumane and outrageous” and called for the “unconditional” release of the children so they can be reunited with their relatives. “Freedom for the abducted boys and girls!” he said, attaching photos of the children to his post.

Venezuela has condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigrants. In March, the two countries agreed to resume repatriation flights for Venezuelan migrants under the government's "Return to the Homeland" program. –0–
