And that this isn’t a variation of the US-centric world order which has generated incessant conflict, killed thousands and thousands and wrought destruction and carnage, with the continuing Israel conflict on Gaza the newest incarnation of world dysfunction introduced by Pax Americana.
However change is coming. Palestinians is not going to solely survive. The Palestinian state will triumph and emerge as the newest nation on the earth and state to be acknowledged by the United Nations.
Too many harmless lives have been misplaced however historical past is being rewritten within the Center East and elsewhere. However when it’s lastly achieved, Palestinians is not going to solely win their full rights to land and freedoms denied by the US backed Zionist cabal. They will even be contributing to a brand new web page within the making of the brand new world order
Starting of the New World Order
June 16, 2009 and September 7, 2013 could nicely go down in historical past as key dates ushering to start with of a brand new world order.
For the reason that finish of the Second World Battle, particularly with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1989, the US perverted model of the world order with its perpetuation of worldwide inequality and monopoly of advantages by the US and ally international locations has remained comparatively unchallenged and unchanged.
US leaders and allies frequently watchful for any geopolitical problem that will have an effect on their nationwide pursuits have been capable of interact in profitable interventions and navy campaigns towards international locations in Latin America, Africa, Europe, Asia and the Pacific.
As we speak, two new forces have emerged to problem the present world order that has preserved dominance of the world’s inhabitants of over 8 billion in 195 international locations by primarily western international locations comprising the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and European Union international locations with their inhabitants of beneath 1 billion.
The primary drive consists of the grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa grouping (BRICS) which met in South Africa for its fifteenth assembly on August 23, 2023; the second is the Belt and Street Initiative (BRI) grouping which met in Beijing on October 18 to mark its tenth anniversary.
BRICS has a extra express political agenda aimed toward a multipolar world to contest US management and hegemony over the world’s worldwide order. BRI has an financial agenda to construct new fashions of improvement and larger flows of funding and commerce for the financial progress of collaborating, particularly poorer, international locations.
Critics within the West, to counter the 2 groupings, have conflated the 2 agendas to assert that they’re inferior to the Western mannequin of financial improvement encapsulated within the US led mission of constructing liberal democracies; selling human rights and freedoms; and combating the axis of evil, authoritarianism and dictatorships.
The failure of the West to dwell as much as its rhetoric of equitable development, non-discrimination and truthful distribution of worldwide sources for the poor and powerless while respecting the wants, rights and independence of the worldwide South has forged aspersions on their dedication to a extra equal and simply worldwide world order. It has additionally introduced into the limelight the motives and hypocrisy of the forces behind the anti-BRICS and anti-BRI campaigns. This explains the western managed worldwide media’s information protection which has centered on discrediting the aspirations and goals of what’s the most potent problem to enterprise as ordinary in a western-dominated world.
BRICS Progress
Since its institution, BRICS has been routinely disparaged and dismissed as a “hodgepodge” of countries that will by no means quantity to any type of drive or weight in worldwide politics.
What we’re seeing at this time has turned out to be the reverse. BRICS is the most popular geo-political membership on the earth with 11 member international locations as of January 2024. The brand new members embody the world’s oil and gasoline giants of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates which can give the grouping appreciable financial clout. Earlier, earlier than its Johannesburg summit, 22 international locations had formally despatched purposes to hitch BRICS whereas one other 23 international locations informally expressed their intention to hitch.
It’s potential {that a} BRICS majority, if not dominant, world financial order will arrive nicely earlier than 2030. In line with Worldwide Financial Fund knowledge, the Western-dominated G7’s share of worldwide GDP fell from 34.3 p.c in 2010 to 29.9 p.c in 2023, whereas the 5 member BRICS share elevated from 26.6 p.c in 2010 to 31.2 p.c at this time. This improvement will grow to be extra pronounced as extra South international locations, particularly in Africa, flip towards the neo-colonialism of France and different EU international locations as is occurring within the Sahel international locations and West Africa.
BRI Progress
As for BRI, it has obtained even harsher criticism from western coverage makers and media. As a result of it has been conceptualised by China, it has been alleged to be merely a self-serving geopolitical device with little or no profit for collaborating international locations while imposing heavy debt burdens on them.
The precise document which Western media has hid from its readers?
As of Auguest 2023, China had signed greater than 200 BRI cooperation agreements with over 155 international locations and 30 worldwide organisations throughout 5 continents. Taking part international locations embody virtually 75% of the world’s inhabitants and account for greater than half of the world’s GDP.
Chinese language President Xi has defined that in pursuit of frequent improvement and prosperity, ideological confrontation, geopolitical rivalry and bloc politics usually are not a selection in BRI cooperation.
“What we stand towards are unilateral sanctions, financial coercion and decoupling and provide chain disruption.”
“This is the reason the BRI isn’t a risk to others’ improvement.”
Representatives from different international locations have expressed assist for the distinction between the BRI and Western types of improvement cooperation.
In line with Naseem Khan Achakzai, Govt Director of the Grandview Establishment in Pakistan: “Opposite to the Western-led mannequin, the BRI prioritises pragmatic infrastructure and financial improvement with out imposing political situations.”
Sudheendra Kulkarni, former Director of Operations of the Prime Minister’s Workplace of India has emphasised: “The BRI has grow to be the most important and most useful challenge within the fashionable historical past of the world to advertise frequent improvement and customary prosperity.”
The Finish Sport within the World Order
There could be little doubt that western leaders and media will strive each trick within the guide to discredit BRICS and BRI. There will even be makes an attempt to divide the members and undermine the achievements and future plans of the 2 groupings. However it’s clear that historical past is being revised by the worldwide South; and this time round, there shall be no turning again.
