BRICS, the new road and rising voice

The BRICS meeting was successful with the adoption of two important decisions.


Responding to various expectations, 6 countries - Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Ethiopia, UAE and Argentina - were accepted to be part of the group. With this expansion the BRICS group will represent the first world group in terms of wealth, population and potential, with 37% of the world Gross Domestic Product and 46% of the world population, exceeding the share of the G7 (32% of the GDP and 10% of the world's population). Africa will be present with three members and three countries will represent the Arab world. Witnessing the dynamics of BRICS, other countries - more than 40 in total - expressed their will to join the group.


As we see, the countries that are looking for an alternative to the relations imposed on them by the West are joining the BRICS group.


In addition, the rules of the New Development Bank, created by the BRICS, have been better designed to provide real assistance to developing countries, quite different from those of the World Bank which prevailed for nearly 80 years and kept most countries in their underdevelopment.


The focus of BRICS will remain international cooperation, a peaceful world and a new world order having as a priority the true interests of those who need it most, ie the developing countries.

Covid-19 Incredible news!

"Europe and the United States have decided to earmark 4% of all funds expended in the fight against Covid-19 to the eradication of malaria, AIDS and tuberculosis, diseases that kill millions of people every year." I was sitting in front of my TV watching the news. I could barely believe my ears. As the report continued, I turned up the sound so as not to miss a word. The United States has lifted sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela and sent 10 planes with medical equipment and personnel to assist those countries in their fight against Covid-19. The leaders of North and South Korea have signed an historic agreement to reunite their country, henceforth known as the Republic of Korea. The African and European Unions have signed a free trade agreement, under which goods and citizens may circulate freely from one continent to the other. The stock exchanges are now publishing daily figures on the profits of major companies, broken down by country, to serve as t...

Negotiations: Beyond Words

  After the first day of negotiations, Iran stated that some areas of convergence had been reached, but significant disagreements remain. Tehran called for continuing the diplomatic path despite the absence of an agreement. U.S. officials indicated that the discussions ended without a deal. According to them, Iran refused the American conditions, particularly regarding the nuclear issue. Nevertheless, the United States described the exchanges as serious while reaffirming its “red lines”. In a regional context marked by Israel’s opposition to Iran’s nuclear program, tensions between the United States and Iran continue to revolve around this issue. Since the creation of the Islamic Republic and the hostage crisis of 1979, several cycles of negotiations have taken place. At each stage, the level of U.S. representation has increased, moving from diplomats to government officials, then to special envoys, and today reaching the vice president. The U.S. president himself was reportedly in...

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.
