British nukes are a joke, they're controlled by the US. Maybe France can stay.

If not South Africa, who from Africa? Egypt? Nigeria?

The current composition of the UNSC is just ridiculous.

> British nukes are a joke, they're controlled by the US.

While it maybe be true that some of the nukes in the UK(i.e. US B61 gravity bombs) may be under the control of the US, the UK still maintains full control over their submarine launched nukes AFAIU.

Are you trying to be equitable or based on power? If it’s the latter then unfortunately no nation in Africa currently has equivalent power.

Australia would be a better option in either case since they are a continent in of themselves and within spitting distance from being a nuclear power after Biden fucked over the French and beat them to a deal for nuclear subs with Australia.

And re: Britain’s nuclear power being controlled by the US. That’s just the maintenance. They still have the nukes and could easily turn to France as the refurbisher if the US denies them. Might even work out as a conciliatory point for the return to the EU that Burnham is harking about.
