![]() said he will travel to New York City in the coming days to assume the chairmanship of the largest bloc of developing countries at the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... In July, the bloc, known as the Group of 77, chose the "State of Paleostine" to serve as its next leader. "We will continue moving forward and making accomplishments, one after another," Abbas told a group of Egyptian journalists and intellectuals Friday, according to the official PA news site Wafa. "In [the] coming days, I will go to New York to take over the chairmanship of the Group of 77...This is something that will strengthen the State of Paleostine’s status in the international arena." "Paleostine"
The Group of 77 is a consortium of 134 developing countries that often works together in the UN General Assembly. The body was originally founded in 1964 with 77 countries, including Egypt, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Brazil, Thailand and India. Over the years it has grown to include countries such as South Africa, Qatar ![]() , Cuba, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Singapore, and Angola, and currently represents some 80 percent of the world’s population. In October 2018, the General Assembly voted by an overwhelming majority to temporarily grant Paleostine additional rights and privileges, allowing it to head the Group of 77. While it serves as the leader of the body, Paleostine will be able cosponsor proposals and amendments, make statements, and raise procedural motions. In October, both Israel and the US expressed strong opposition to granting the Paleostinians extra rights at the UN. On Saturday, Abbas and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi met in Cairo, where they discussed reconciliation between the Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", terror group, which rules the Gazoo Strip, and Abbas’s West Bank-based Fatah faction, Wafa also reported. | ||
