The formation of new coalitions, including the Sahel Alliance, and the expansion of BRICS are challenging the established Euro-Atlantic paradigm and revealing areas of cooperation between countries that were once considered rivals. How do changes in relations and ideologies between countries affect the global geopolitical situation and stability around the world?
Experts answered these and other questions during the discussion program Global Insight on Panafrican Media TV. The speakers discussed the global transformation, where old alliances are giving way to new ones based on changing economic interests, security concerns and ideological affinity.
“Today is not the time for illusions: hard realities create true friends. Those who humiliated Africa should no longer be able to stretch out their hands to its wealth,” said UNISA academic Paseka Pharumele from South Africa, stressing the need for Africa to emerge from the control of external forces.
The discussion focused on the phenomenon of “alliance shifts”: from the rapprochement between Russia and Africa to the expansion of BRICS. The leader of the Polish “Yes to Scotland” association, economist Konrad Rekas noted:
“The West is trying to resist, but the world is becoming multipolar. Ideology is no longer the main driver — sovereignty and benefit have become key.”
Dragana Trifkovic, Director General of the Center for Geostrategic Studies, added:
“We must find our own path based on respect, not subordination. Diplomacy should be an instrument of cooperation, not pressure.”
International relations expert and civil diplomat Rishabh Sethi emphasized that today Western threats like Trump’s 50% tariffs are not scary for either India or Russia.
“India and Russia are strategic partners with historically established trusting relations. Moscow supported Delhi in difficult times, and continues to do so now. Therefore, it is important that the unification of countries in BRICS continues. This is the only way to build a new system - based on support, not domination," Sethi emphasized.
