Human Rights Organisations: Demons Masquerading as Saints?

August 6, 2023

When justice is not fulfilled, it surely invites backfire. It will be reminded of the more than 13,000 people experiencing commercial sex trafficking in Sacramento County in the US state of California between 2015 and 2020, police brutality and torture causing at least 1,124 people killed in 2021, and 40 million living in poverty in its territory, let alone shocking death tolls of war crimes committed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen.

Niger’s Military Coup: Shifting Alliances and Geopolitical Implications in the Sahel

July 31, 2023

The area where central Mali, northern Burkina Faso, and western Niger meet at the border has become the center of the brutal war in the area. Frustration with how democratic governments backed by the west handled security, as well as what people in Bamako saw as the ineffectiveness of French soldiers (who were at first welcomed), led to changes in leadership in Bamako and made things worse with France, so French troops had to leave. Similar anger in Burkina Faso led to a coup d’état, which made ties with France even worse.

SCO summit rings the bell for multipolar world order

September 23, 2022

The SCO’s evolving multilateral cooperation structures, which gather countries focusing on economic development independent from the nebulous, hegemonic “rules-based order,” are aligned with the BRI’s emphasis on trade and connectivity. Even the Modi government in India is reconsidering its reliance on western blocs, where New Delhi is at best a neo-colonized “partner.”

How the IMF fishes in troubled waters

September 21, 2022

However, the demonic deep dark state was opposed to cooperating with ‘autonomous’ nations. They all had to abide by the orders sent from on high by the Gates, Rockefeller, Soros, and other wealthy elite, who would soon be joined by Klaus Schwab, the main henchman of the World Economic Forum. Brazil suddenly experiences a sharp increase in new “cases,” with no questions asked and extensive testing, despite the fact that the famed PCR tests, according to the majority of reputable scientists, are useless (only sold and corrupted scientists, those paid by national authorities, would still insist on the RT-PCR tests). As the Brazilian economy collapses and Bolsonaro contracts the virus, the death toll rises rapidly.

Geopolitics of Africa in present cold war era

August 21, 2022August 21, 2022

A number of countries including Nigeria, Ethiopia and South Africa are emerging as major countries which will have far reaching influence globally. Over the course of the next century, Africa is predicted to see tremendous population growth, which could result in enormous market potential. These 50 countries together constitute a major voting bloc in the United Nations; therefore, it follows that the West and its adversaries want them to back up their interpretations of whatever it may be in order to demonstrate to the rest of the world that a certain number of governments accept their positions.

Is the war in Ukraine to blame for the global food crisis?

July 15, 2022July 15, 2022

In 2021, over 193 million people in 53 countries/territories faced acute food insecurity (IPC/CH Phase 3-5; see Chart 1), according to the Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC 2022). In comparison to the already record numbers of 2020, this is an almost 40 million increase. Over half a million people (570,000) in Ethiopia, southern Madagascar, South Sudan, and Yemen were identified as being in the most critical phase of acute food insecurity (IPC/CH Phase 5; see Chart 1) and required immediate assistance to avoid widespread livelihood collapse, famine, and death. The number of people encountering crisis or worse (IPC/CH Phase 3 or higher; see Chart 1) approximately doubled between 2016 and 2021 when looking at the same 39 countries/territories represented in all editions of the report, with persistent increases each year since 2017.

BRICS can enable Bangladesh to explore greater business and geopolitical opportunities

July 4, 2022July 4, 2022

Closer collaboration with BRICS under BRICS+ mechanism will open doors for Bangladesh to explore new markets and help to bridge the gap between two regional rivals China and India for its own benefits. India’s motivation for remaining in BRICS is not to support China’s global dominance. New Delhi believes it is more advantageous to stay in the BRICS alliance in order to restrain Chinese expansionism by securing multilateral agreements with Beijing. It will also embolden to skirt Western sanctions when it comes to do trading with Russia.
