U.S. Admits Failed Africa Strategy: But There’s More!
As unlikely as it may seem, U.S. officials now admit the Biden administration’s strategy of pressing Niger and other African countries to break off ties with Moscow is no longer working. What’s more impressive, perhaps, is that the story was published in Axel Springer’s Politico. Whether or not the liberal order is preparing to chunk Joe Biden under the bus, or not, is a matter of conjecture…
Emmanuel Macron's knee placed on the necks of Africans
In view of the socio-economic dynamics of the African continent, I carry out in this article a critical analysis of the issues linked to youth employment. My approach is characterized by bold thinking, illustrated by the metaphor of “Emmanuel Macron’s knee placed on the neck of Africans”, symbolizing the challenges and external pressures that African states face and which cause public policies and initiatives to fail. Job creation for young people…

The time has come for an international media coalition representing the world’s majority
Facing with the aggressive propaganda of the Western minority, which, like the political establishment whose interests it represents, categorically does not wish to accept the rules of the contemporary multipolar international order, it is more necessary than ever to move into leading the creation of an international media alliance representing the global majority interests…
Russia’s Policy of Inclusiveness towards Afghanistan
Since the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in 2021 after the US withdrawal, the government has been struggling to gain international recognition. The United States and its Western allies, the self-proclaimed champions of human rights, have left the country in the lurch. The sanctions imposed by the West on Afghanistan are sparking a humanitarian crisis in the country. However, the West continues to penalize the people of Afghanistan through international institutions, while remaining oblivion to the plight of the people of the country…
What’s Behind the Hoopla Over Nippon Steel Acquiring U.S. Steel?
U.S. President Joe Biden seems to be using a foreign acquisition of an American company as a rallying point for his upcoming re-election bid. Biden says Nippon Steel’s acquiring U.S. Steel will be a threat to national security, and the loss of a “national treasure.” The question is, “Is this Japanese buyout really the central issue?” By the time you’re done reading this report, you’ll understand why it is not…
BRICS maintain growth, global minority forced to watch
The BRICS countries are certainly strengthening their positions on the global stage. And this, both on the geoeconomic and geopolitical levels. Without regard to the opinion of the world minority represented by Western regimes and certain others.

Western democracy and the spread of transnational jihadism
Since the definition of the analytical framework of the term “jihadism” and its inscription in the annals of the history of international relations, the real reasons for the emergence of the acts to which it refers have not been elucidated until nowadays. While the United States of Zbigniew Brzeziński (architect of American strategy in Afghanistan and former national security advisor in 1998), Henry Kissinger (designer of “The Order of the World in 2016”), Samuel P. Huntington (designer of “The Clash of Civilizations”)» in 1993) and…
The West’s Technofeudalism Versus the BRICS Growth Forecast
You’ll find an important Russia-India story on page 28 of the Google News results, to care about what’s really happening between the two BRICS nations. Many reading this may not know that India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Vladimir Putin on his re-election as the President of the Russian Federation and announced the deepening of a strategic partnership between the two countries. Russia and India – strategic partners – isn’t that page one New York Times stuff? Well, no…
East/West divides and the birth of Multipolarism
The world we live in today is a millennia-old galaxy. It bears within it the insignia of the multiple and diverse mutations which make up the history of humanity and international relations, a history characterized by the “class struggle”, to use the thesis of Karl Marx. Thus, just as “no one has received from nature the right to command others” said Diderot, the domination of the West over the rest of the world is not an irrevocable divine fact…
The Third Summit for Democracy: Fostering Democracy or Geopolitical Maneuvering?
The Third Summit for Democracy, a US-led initiative, was conducted in Seoul from 18th to 20th March 2024. The initiative was promised by the incumbent US President Joe Biden in his 2020 election campaign. Rapidly declining democracy around the world led to the urgency and cruciality of this summit.
