Turkey and Indonesia had moved separate resolutions on Islamophobia while Kuwait and Morocco were pressing for the resolutions on Palestinian people while Holland is the proponent of the humanitarian crisis in the African continent.

While chairing the meeting, Speaker Asad Qaiser stressed on adopting a unified Asian approach. He noted that two of the proponents of the Emergency Items on Xenophobia, Turkey and Indonesia, were also the members of the Asia-Pacific Group and so it was important that the two countries clubbed their respective resolutions in a consensus draft.

Islam has been in Africa for so long, since its emergence on the Arabian Peninsula, that some scholars like Douglas E. Thomas have argued that it is a traditional African religion.

The history of Islam in Africa can be traced back to the early 7th century. It is the first continent that Islam spread to from Southwestern Asia.

The religion of Islam began in the Middle East during the early 600s CE. Not long after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE, it began spreading in the subcontinent. Islam, therefore, has been integrated with the continent of Africa – especially North Africa – since almost the beginning of the religion itself.

In 655 CE, almost all parts of North Africa felt the presence of Islam. From the Atlantic Ocean through Egypt and Morocco, Islam became a household religion by 709 CE. Many northern Africans were converted to Islam, and Islam had a significant impact on the culture of the region as well. Although some local traditions and values were often incorporated into the religion, Islam had a unifying influence in the government, the culture, the architecture, and the economy.

Muslim Conquest

The religion of Islam began in the Middle East during the early 600s CE. Not long after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE, the Arabs began to expand their empire. They first invaded northern Africa in 647 CE. They conquered much of the land but turned back after defeating Libya in return for tribute (payment).

The Arabs once again invaded in 665 CE. This time they conquered virtually all of North Africa from Egypt to the Atlantic Ocean and Morocco. They continued to fight against the armies of the Byzantine Empire and the local peoples (the Berbers) for several years. By the year 709 CE, all of northern Africa was firmly under Arab control.

As a result, Islam is still the dominant religion in North Africa today. Thi

Eleventh and last King of Awadh (1822–1887)

Mirza Wajid Ali Shah (Urdu: واجد علی شاه) (30 July 1822 – 1 September 1887) was the eleventh and last King of Awadh, holding the position for 9 years, from 13 February 1847 to 11 February 1856.

Wajid Ali Shah's first wife was Alam Ara who was better known as Khas Mahal (transl. special wife) because of her exquisite beauty. She was one of two Nikahi wives. His second wife, Muhammadi Khanum, better known as the Begum Hazrat Mahal, rose against the British East India Company during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 as the regent of Awadh.

His kingdom, long protected by the East India Company (EIC) under a treaty, was annexed by the EIC on 11 February 1856, two days before the ninth anniversary of his coronation. The Nawab was exiled to Garden Reach in Metiabruz, then a suburb of Kolkata, where he lived out the rest of his life on a generous pension. He was a poet, playwright, dancer and great patron of the arts. He introduced Kathak, a major form of classical Indian dance as a court dance after the decline of Mughals for recreation activity.

As a King

Wajid Ali Shah succeeded the throne of Awadh when the kingdom was in decline. The British East India Company (EIC) had annexed much of the kingdom under its rule in a treaty signed with the Nawabs in 1801 and stymied the Awadh economy by imposing the costs of maintaining the Bengal Army on the kingdom's coffer, in addition to repeatedly demanding loans. However, the EIC refrained from annexing the remainder of the kingdom because they needed a buffer state between their territories to the east and south, and the Mughal Empire to the north.

Wajid Ali Shah ascended the throne of Oudh at a time when the East India Company was determined to annex the throne of the prosperous Awadh, which was "the garden, granary, and queen-province of I
