A NEW SYSTEM FOR ALL HUMANITY CAN SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS
NATO and other Western elite warmongers continue to reel from the release of the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) which, despite its problematic elements, has, in the words of Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, “usefully provoked a crisis that was long overdue.” In her statement, “Withdraw From NATO! New National Security Strategy Requires New Security Architecture,” […]
WHY A FREE PALESTINE IS THE ONLY PATH TO ENDING THE CRISIS IN GAZA
As this week marked the 48th Commemoration of the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People and the celebration of 30 years of diplomatic relations between South Africa and the State of Palestine, a stark reminder echoes in our minds that the world has watched Gaza burn for far too long. Every cycle […]
G20 SUMMIT PROVED THAT THE CHANGING WORLD IS LEAVING THE US BEHIND
The US government finally received a G20 Presidency hand-over at a low-key event in the South African capital, Pretoria. It was no less that Washington deserved. The Trump administration boycotted the recent G20 Leaders Summit, the first to be held on the African continent. The boycott was premised on a litany of blatant lies about […]
FORGET ABOUT THE STATE OF PALESTINE – TRUMP, NETANYAHU, HOLD THE CARDS
This week’s sudden bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) on the instruction of the Jewish State’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaves too much to be desired. It is an appalling act of genocidal intent made a lot worse by revelations that Netanyahu had given the White House prior warning of the bombardment, […]
AFTER GAZA PEACE DEAL, NOW TRUMP EYES UKRAINE
Right on the immediate aftermath of the fragile Gaza peace deal, US President Donald Trump appears set to keep his momentum, hinting at pulling off a spectacularly similar deal in Ukraine. At the behest of the Kremlin, Trump held a two-and-half hour telephone meeting with his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin. They discussed several key […]
GAZA’S DEMISE IS NOT ON ISRAEL’S BRUTALITY, IT IS ON THE WATCH OF THE US, PERIOD!
The US has correctly gained international reputation as a dishonest peace broker. There is no need to look beyond Gaza, the epicentre of the failure of global diplomacy. Every credible institution in the world has descried the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 2023. It is the human tragedy never seen in both scope […]
THE UN IS TEETERING ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL COLLAPSE
This week, as world leaders gathered in New York for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) high-level debate as part of celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN, gloom and doom over-shadowed the waning nobility of the organisation’s charter. The “high-level week” at the UN is held every year in September, and attracts heads […]
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA DURING THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
“This is a matter of great significance, not only for the people of Palestine, not only for the people of Israel, but for all people who cherish the ideals of freedom and self-determination. Shortly after the United Nations was created, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, which recommended the creation of two states, Israel and […]
“SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION” (SCO) IS A NEW WORLD POWER RISING TO REPLACE THE OBSOLETE UN SYSTEM
In a week in which the US vetoed a UN Security Council (UNSC) binding resolution aimed at ordering the immediate ceasefire in Gaza, let aid into the starving population and release the hostages held by Hamas, the relevance of UN was inadvertently put in the dock. Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian representative to the UN, summed […]
THE DETERIORATING US-EU RELATIONS HERALDS THE DAWN OF A NEW INTERNATIONAL WORLD ORDER
The flurry of geopolitical activities, and the turbo-charged speed at which the reconfiguration of the international world order is taking place, signals the demise of Europe as a sphere of significant influence in world politics. In the same vein, the rapid changes in international relations are characterized by the reawakening of the Global South as […]
THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE BERING STRAIT TUNNEL?
The logic of conflict seems to have taken on a life of its own. Zelensky and his European zombie friends continue to crow that Ukraine will be victorious, that no territorial concessions are on the table for a peace agreement with Russia. The world watches in agony and impotence as the State of Israel continues […]
AFTER THE ALASKA SUMMIT, MOVE FOR ASIA-PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT IS A MOVE FOR WORLD PEACE
Economic development is not an add-on, but the content for peace and security. The Trump-Putin Alaska Summit on August 15, at which specifics were agreed upon for follow-up work on resolving the Ukraine conflict, also poses the prospect for Asia-Pacific mutual development, a critical contribution to the world potential for peace and security. This perspective […]
