A growing number of global leaders are embracing President Donald Trump’s mold, with one of the leading candidates to be the next United Nations secretary general even vowing to ‘make the UN great again.’ Macky Sall, the former president of Senegal, is one of the leading candidates under consideration for the top administrator role at the UN. He is also a supporter of Trump’s foreign policy.

Reform and Accountability

Sall lauded the US as ‘the first power in the world to be with the UN,’ while emphasizing, ‘They need to be with the UN.’ At the same time, he admitted that ‘the UN also should be reformed to be efficient,’ saying, ‘With other member states together we can build a better UN, or to MUNGA — we can Make the UN Great Again.’ Sall is not the only one holding this sentiment. According to Hugh Dugan, a UN insider with decades of experience in the body, the ‘MUNGA’ slogan, first coined by Trump’s UN ambassador Mike Waltz, has become a familiar rallying cry at the global organization.

Dugan explained that the MUNGA push is feeding on a growing dissatisfaction by UN member states over the body being mired in bureaucracy and unable to fulfill its core functions of maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly international relations and promoting international cooperation. ‘It’s a clever slogan to say MUNGA, but I think the fact is that there’s been a long-time dissatisfaction among the broader membership at the UN on this very matter,’ he explained.

Sall cast himself as the candidate who could enact these reforms. ‘I have the capacity as a political leader,’ Sall told Breitbart, adding, ‘Of course, we need to reform, we need to optimize the management, and to cut the cost that I’m sure if I have the support of United States, I can work very closely and put them together with the other partners — particularly Europe, Asia, China and Russia and Africa.’
