Sustainable Development Goals
The news about attacks on the Global Sumud flotilla and ongoing conflicts in the Central African Republic and Algeria directly relate to SDG 16, which aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. The violence and conflicts reported undermine peace, justice, and the building of strong institutions. The Malawian election, while peaceful in itself, indirectly impacts SDG 16 by its implications for the stability and governance of the country.
