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.

Geoeconomic Rivalries in the Middle East: Consequences for Global Stability and Security

April 14, 2023April 14, 2023

China’s recent achievement in restoring diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia has taken the world by surprise. This action has provided Beijing with new opportunities to expand its influence in the Middle East and advance its global initiatives. The agreement was disclosed on 10 March 2023 following four days of secret talks in Beijing. Analysts view China’s efforts to mediate this agreement as indicators of a shifting global order. The agreement is a diplomatic victory for China, which seeks to present an alternative vision to the U.S.-led international order. It is Beijing’s first foray into Middle East mediation, a field that Washington has dominated for the past four decades. This development has regional and global implications and merits in-depth examination.

September 25, 2022

The Western community will look to exert more pressure on Tehran to secure a better deal by influencing and aiding the street protests across Iran. The controversial NGO National Endowment for Democracy actively encourages street protests in Iran.

Is Kyrgyz-Tajik conflict a blow to Russian underbelly?

September 21, 2022

Despite Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan being members of the Russian-led CSTO and hosting its forces, that Russia lacks complete control over those two countries’ military strategies and regional dynamics in general, which significantly reduces its capacity to prevent and end regional conflicts. The recent flare-up has also come up at a time when Russia is engaged in a military campaign in Ukraine and facing a hostile outbreak along the Azerbaijan-Armenia borders.

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.

Changing religious-political dynamics in the Middle East to affect religious fault lines in South Asia

September 13, 2022September 13, 2022

Connections between BJP and Israel have grown more obvious as a result of the fact that the Muslim has traditionally been a symbol of the other, in relation to which political identity was established for adherents of Hindutva ideology. Zionists must confront the Islamic world because they are political Hindus. In addition to not being Muslim or Christian, the state’s foundation is its own national religious tradition, which appeals to Hindutva adherents. The BJP made an effort to retain strong relations with Israel during the Cold War, in contrast to the Congress, which has consistently backed Palestine. India has become Israel’s top customer for military hardware, and Israel is currently India’s second-largest arms supplier.

D-8 can play a pivotal role in multipolar world

September 13, 2022

The present world economic scenario offers D-8 a broadened scope. The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) multilateral trade regime lost its momentum as a result of wealthy countries’ noncompliance and member states’ lack of cooperation. The lengthy characteristics of the WTO’s system may be due to international politics and disagreements between the USA and China, LDC versus developed members, and lastly the voluntary nature of implementation capacity.

Iran-Albania crisis brings Middle Eastern powerplay in the Balkans

September 13, 2022

Iran initially tried to win the support of Albanians by taking part in the Kosovo War. There were reports of Iranian combatants there, and Iranian media openly reported on Albanians thanking Iran for its support and expressing a desire for a similar theocratic state, similar to the strategies Iran used to win the support of Bosniaks during the prior Bosnian War. Mohammad Khatami, the president of Iran, had sharply criticized NATO for bombing Yugoslavia in 1999.

As a result of Albania’s allying with the US, tensions between Iran and Albania had already been deteriorating. Iran established the “Koran Foundation of Kosovo” in an effort to persuade Albanians in both Albania and Kosovo to reject secularism and favor a Shi’a theocracy, but this effort was ineffective; Albanian authorities even started to crack down on the foundation.

Iran had refused to acknowledge Kosovo’s independence in 2008 as revenge for the crackdown on Iran-supported parties in Albania and Kosovo as well as the fact that Kosovo was a pro-Western American-backed state that fiercely opposed both Russia and China. The ties went further downhill after Albania agreed to host MEK.

Iran is poised to become the ultimate gainer in Iraqi crisis

September 3, 2022September 3, 2022

Iraq is the second-largest oil producer in OPEC, and in recent months, its rising oil sales have resulted in a $20 billion cash surplus. Control of this money ultimately serves as the foundation for the current political turmoil because oil profits are illegally utilized to pay the nation’s political forces and paramilitaries.

With the Russia-Ukraine war, Iran is hoping to take a slice of European energy market, amidst talks of lifting of some sanctions from Tehran and worsening of Europe’s relations with Moscow. Iran will look to extend its political shadow over Baghdad’s oil resources to influence global oil market and stay ahead of its Saudi rivals.
