The Significance of Unlocking Neglected Stories
The stories of neglected communities are often the ones that paint the most vivid picture of our world.

Challenges and Opportunities
Uncovering the stories of neglected communities comes with its own set of challenges. Often, these communities have limited access to resources and opportunities for their stories to be shared with the world. Additionally, language barriers, political instability, and lack of infrastructure can further hinder the process of revealing these narratives.
However, with the right support and resources, there are ample opportunities to uncover and share these stories. By collaborating with local organizations, investing in community-led initiatives, and employing culturally sensitive storytelling methods, we can amplify the voices of neglected communities and bring their stories to a global audience.

The Persistence of Colonies: A Look at Remaining Non-Self-Governing Territories
In today’s modern age, where human rights, democracy, self-determination, and development are prominent aspects of global rhetoric, it is surprising to note that there are still approximately sixty-one colonies. This brings up the pertinent question: why do these colonies persist nearly eighty years after the formation of the United Nations? What factors contribute to obstacles in their path towards independence?
One might naturally assume that world powers like Britain, France, and the USA maintain their hold on these colonies. However, a notable instance can be found in Morocco’s control over Western Sahara (WS), which was a former Spanish colony where Spain’s withdrawal led to occupation by Moroccan and Mauritanian troops.
As of August 14th, 2023, seventeen existing territories are recognized as Non-Self-Governing Territories (NSGTs) by the United Nations. These include territories controlled or administered by Australia (6), Denmark (2), Netherlands (2), France (16), New Zealand (3), Norway (3), Britain (15). Additionally, sixteen others remain disputed areas or locations under contention.
Though nations such as Britain wield considerable power on the global stage as veto-wielding Permanent Members of the UN Security Council with control over several NSGTs themselves; it becomes clear that there are complex dynamics underlying colonial powers’ continued administration over these remaining territories.
A significant part of this issue includes respect for international law and bodies like the UN Special Committee on Decolonisation tasked with implementing independence for colonial countries and peoples. One such example is Puerto Rico which has been fighting for self-determination along with full US military withdrawal from its territory despite being colonized by Spain in 1493 and subsequently overtaken by America in 1898.
Integration between territorial claims maintained by world powers while disregarding international rulings undoubtedly adds complexity to potential solutions for rooted decolonization challenges.
There is a conference planned at Top Rank Hotels in Abuja from August 12-13 providing an avenue for close investigation into expedited decolonization efforts globally. With key participants including advocates dedicated to maintaining human rights standards worldwide invited alongside stakeholders managing several non-self-governing territories urging drastic improvements towards policy change concerning remaining colonies/NSGTs.
Ultimately Nigeria’s Society for International Relations Awareness seeks only entrenched acknowledgement especially since humanity runs risks concerning recolonization within Africa if not properly managed.”
Amid all this stands one resounding call – “Can we count upon humanity not forgetting them?”
