We Need Unity Among the Powerful Economies in the International System

 We Need Unity Among the Powerful Economies in the International System

By MA
Uniting together the powerful world’s economies is the key to achieving a more just and equitable world. China, the US, and Russia need to unite if vulnerable economies, particularly African countries can survive in the international system.
Assuming the aforementioned world leaders are United, would you have the question of Ukraine being invaded by Russia? Similarly, will you have the question of Palestine being occupied and subjugated? I certainly doubt it.
So, International law does not favor the very African countries who wish to see these powerful economies fragmented. And don’t misunderstand me with the concept of ‘balance of power’. Here, we are talking about unity. If there’s unity among them, every country will not have the tendency of dominance. And each of these powerful economies will equally peacefully Pursue their national interest.
And as Africans, you can ask yourselves, “What benefit has Africa got from seeing these powerful countries disunited?” It is axiomatic for everybody who understands the contemporary international system that the most powerful weapon we need to change the international rules to be more democratic, equitable, and just is to allow the countries that hold the world to become United.

The Jews and the Origin of Traffic in Secondhand Clothing

 The Jews and the Origin of Traffic in Secondhand Clothing  When the Jews landed in what is today called America, together with Christopher Columbus, around 1492, after they had been expelled from Spain on August 2, 1492, they were prohibited from settling among the people there—an order from the Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, because of who they were.  Fortunately for them (the Jews), they already invested large amount of capital in the shares of the Dutch’s company. Henry Ford observes: “Nevertheless, they were forbidden to enter public service and to open retail shops, which had the effect of driving them into foreign trade in which they were soon exercising all but a monopoly because of their European connections.” “This is the only one of the thousand illustrations which can be given of the resourcefulness of the Jew. “Forbid him in one direction, he will excel in another”. When he is forbidden to deal in new clothes, he sold old clothes—that was the beginning of ...

Why Waging Global Boycott Campaign in Solidarity with Palestine Is Irreversible

 Why Waging Global Boycott Campaign in Solidarity with Palestine Is Irreversible  By Mu’az Ahmad “Apartheid is a crime against humanity. Israel has deprived millions of Palestinians of their liberty and property. It has perpetuated a system of gross racial discrimination and inequality. It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians, contrary to the rules of international law. It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children”.~Nelson Mandela The people of Africa have a magnificently glorious tradition of struggle, not only for their own survival and freedom, but for the rights, security and future of all people everywhere. Taking Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) by the South African government is a testament to the deep concern Africans share to all people everywhere, who are the victims of oppression and genocide.  Following the announcement of prominent rights activists from across the ...

What the ANC in South Africa and the PDP in Nigeria Have in Common

 What the ANC in South Africa and the PDP in Nigeria Have in Common  “In 1912, after the British handed over power to the white minority, the kings and commoners from all over Southern Africa, came together to form the African National Congress—the oldest national liberation movement in black Africa and one of the greatest liberation movements in the modern world”.—Maitama Sule observed. The sudden death of General Sani Abacha, which was highly tragic, made the most senior military officer, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, anxious to hand over knowing in full the anti-military storm that his predecessor had elicited. The single most significant party that eventually came into being was People’s Democratic Party (PDP)—a party that had remained the increasingly ruling party for 16 years until 2015 with the election of APC into power.  In the light of what many Nigerians are seeing now under APC, it is becoming abundantly clear that PDP must have done more good than harm. You ca...
