BRICS is no longer just symbolism.

South Africa says the “Global South is rising” — and the West can no longer ignore it.

At the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New Delhi, South African FM Ronald Lamola delivered a direct message:

The era of Western dominance is fading.

According to Lamola, BRICS is already reshaping the global order through real development financing.

South Africa received BRICS-backed loans for:
— logistics infrastructure
— water crisis management
— national development projects

Not promises.

Actual funding.

On Trump-era tariffs and global trade wars, Pretoria sees opportunity instead of crisis:

Diversify.
Trade in local currencies.
Reduce dependence on Western financial systems.

But on a BRICS common currency?

“For now, it’s trade.”

Lamola also backed permanent UN Security Council seats for:
— India
— Brazil
— Two African nations

Calling the current world order “post-colonial and outdated.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 TRUMP LANDS FROM BEIJING – HERE’S WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED 📋

The US president returns from his China trip with plane orders, nuclear ultimatums, and a studied ambiguity that leaves every flashpoint unresolved.

🔴 On Iran – Rejection, PR, and a Nuclear Dust Ultimatum

Rejected Tehran’s proposal – Trump “didn’t like the first sentence” and threw it away.

💣 Uranium removal is “more for PR than anything else” – but he still demands it. Iran told him: only the US or China has the equipment to remove the nuclear dust. Trump’s answer: “At the right time, we’ll either go in or we’ll get it.”

🕊️ Ceasefire? He says he wouldn’t have agreed – only did it as a favour to Pakistan.

Still threatening: “We’ll go back and finish them off.”

🇦🇪💥 “NOT OUR WAR”: How Gulf Rivals Left the UAE to Fight Iran Alone – And Why Abu Dhabi Finally Walked Out on OPEC

Bloomberg reveals the inside story: the UAE begged Saudi Arabia and Qatar to join a coordinated military response to Iranian attacks. They ALL refused. Abu Dhabi struck Iran anyway.

🗣️ MBZ’s plea: After Iran responded to US‑Israeli strikes by hitting Gulf targets, UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed urged Saudi Arabia and Qatar to retaliate as a group – reminding them that the GCC was founded in 1981 precisely because of Iran’s revolutionary threat.

🚫 Saudi & Qatari refusal: “This isn’t our war,” they told him. They chose deterrence and defence, not escalation.

🛢️ The fallout: Abu Dhabi was furious. It shocked the world by leaving OPEC – a move driven partly by this betrayal.

🤝 UAE‑Israel ties deepen – MBZ held a rare call with Netanyahu; Israel sent Iron Dome batteries and personnel to the UAE.
