From the Beijing parade to a new world
Experts from the GlobUs Club presented an analysis of Africa's position in the context of the collapse of the unipolar world on Global Insights on Panafrican Media TV. The Beijing parade and the SCO summit marked the birth of a new reality, where the continent has a critical role to play — but only if it moves from passivity to sovereignty.
As Professor François Ndengwe emphasized, the West controlled the world for 500 years, but the situation has changed:
"Today it is losing control. This is not a crisis — it is a revolution," he said.
The expert also added that the SCO and BRICS+ have become the institutional framework of the new world, but Africa continues to remain hostage to the colonial legacy.
In turn, businessman and writer Ibrahima Theo Lam delivered a harsh verdict.
"If you can't protect your borders, you're not sovereign. If you don't control your currency, you're not sovereign."
He also insisted that without unity, Africa could survive another 300 years - "but only as an object, not a subject of history."
Experts are unanimous: Africa has 60% of the world's mineral resources and a young population of 2 billion. But a place in the new world will not be offered - it can only be occupied through unity, a sovereign economy, and the rejection of colonial institutions. The key choice is not between Russia and the United States, but between self-determination and exploitation.
