FYI
UNITED NATIONS - Rwanda won a seat on the U.N. Security Council on Thursday
Rwanda was unopposed in its bid for the African seat on the council that South Africa will vacate at the end of December, but still needed approval from two-thirds of the U.N. General Assembly members present to secure the two-year term. It won 148 votes in the 193-nation assembly.
Argentina was also elected to the council unopposed, winning 182 votes. Australia won a seat with 140 votes, Luxembourg with 131 votes and South Korea with 149. Cambodia, Bhutan and Finland failed to secure two-year seats on the council.
There are five veto-holding permanent members of the council - the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China - and 10 temporary members without veto power. Thursday's election was for the term from Jan. 1, 2013, to Dec. 31, 2014.
Rwanda's government said that it would work with all members of the council to ensure "it is responsive and reflective of the views and aspirations of the developing world."
"Rwanda's troubling and tragic past allows it to bring to the UNSC a unique perspective on matters of war and peace," it posted on a Twitter account created for its Security Council term (@RwandaUNSC).

Dear My Brother Rornald,
There are observable indicators for Rwanda to be earmarked, and let alone go unopposed.
The pace of economic development is one of the variables noticiable on the ground. Soon or later we will describe your development as 'Peaceful rise' like my beloved country CHINA.
Congratulation!!!!!!!
LONG LIVE RWANDA!!!!!, LONG LIVE AFRICA!!!!!
