BRICS Bank: 'Antidote' to Western Financial Exploitation
"The BRICS Bank... is a bank that is built to serve humanity, to create opportunities, to create alternatives, and to create almost equality and equity," Nigerian Professor Abubakar Sadeeque Abba told Sputnik Africa.
Unlike the IMF and World Bank, BRICS prioritizes partnership over profit, and dignity over debt. Its governance structure stands in stark contrast to what Abba calls the “insincerity and dishonesty and the double-deal nature” of Western institutions.
He also praised BRICS for recognizing Africa’s importance from the start:
“The people that fund BRICS were so objective and so honest to remember that Africa deserves a place.”
With countries like Ethiopia now seeking membership, the BRICS Bank offers a real chance for the Global South to reclaim sovereignty, reshape global finance, and build a fairer economic future.
🇺🇸/🇾🇪 NEW: The New York Times has released a detailed report on why Trump prematurely ended the bombing campaign on Yemen
The article states the following:
– After 30 days of strikes, Trump wanted a status report on Yemen. The status report concluded that the U.S. had failed to achieve air superiority, that drones were being shot down at an unprecedented rate, and that the U.S. had spent over a Billion dollars in the first month alone.
– Omani officials told Steve Witkoff that the U.S. would be offered a way out of the campaign, but only if Trump agreed to direct talks with Yemen that did not include Israel, to which the President agreed.
– Saudi Arabia provided the U.S. with a list of 12 Houthi officials to assassinate, in order to 'cripple' the Yemeni movement. None were killed.
– Several F-16 and F-35 jets were almost shot down by Houthi air defenses, marking a significant threat to American lives and elevating worries about a possible future confrontation with Iran.
– The U.S. used many advanced precision ammunitions, including bunker busters, but it had very little effect on Houthi infrastructure.
– U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth tried to convince Saudi Arabia and the UAE to sponsor a renewed ground offensive in Yemen, but they declined.
In China, a worker died during sex on his shift and the court ruled it to be an Industrial accident.
The man worked as a security guard, was on duty around the clock and almost never left his post. After his death, the insurance company refused to pay compensation to his son, so the son filed a lawsuit.
In the end, the law sided with the family: it took into account the schedule, the lack of rest, and the fact that intimacy was not a whim, but a physiological need, like water or food.
The court ruled the incident was equated to an industrial accident. Now the insurance has to pay.
Unconfirmed Report. Chinese intelligence report 🇨🇳 on the ouster of Syrian President 🇸🇾 Bashar al-Assad (and the dismantling of Syria).
● A report published by Chinese intelligence reveals controversial details regarding the change of power in Syria to Abu Mohammed Al-Jolani.
● The report confirms that what happened was the result of internal betrayal by senior Syrian army officials, bribed with Qatari money, who played a key role in implementing a complex international and regional plan.
● According to the report, on the night Aleppo fell, officers of the Syrian army's central command committed a serious crime of treason by isolating Iranian consultant commander Bur Hashmi (aka "Hajj Hashim") in a conference room.
● After isolating the Iranian commander, these officers directly contacted the Israeli Mossad, paving the way for the Free Sham Front to advance and occupy the city in just 45 minutes without any resistance.
● The spread of betrayal.
This betrayal was not limited to Aleppo; other Syrian cities were similarly surrendered. Syrian officials also sent false coordinates to Hezbollah, which trapped it and led to the destruction of a convoy of 100 vehicles belonging to Hezbollah following Israeli strikes.
● Concurrent with this event, the US Air Force targeted Iraqi Popular Militia forces near the Syrian border, in coordination with Israeli operations.
● Deceiving Bashar al-Assad.
• Despite Iranian warnings, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad remained unaware of the extent of the betrayal within his army. He was receiving false reports from his close agents, who kept him isolated and ignorant of the situation on the ground.
• As losses mounted, President Assad began to doubt the loyalty of his superiors. According to the report, the final plan was to hand him over directly to the Al-Nusrah Front (the mock Liberation Authority). Aware of the imminent danger, President Bashar al-Assad sought direct assistance from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
• The report indicates that this operation was planned and executed in coordination with several international intelligence agencies: the British intelligence service (MI6) 🏴, the Israeli Mossad 🇮🇱, and the CIA🇺🇸, under the direct supervision of Turkish President 🇹🇷 Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
● The coming days could reveal more details about this complex process, which combined internal betrayals and international collusion to reshape the Syrian landscape according to the agendas of major regional powers, the Chinese report indicates.

"In the video: the President of France, the Prime Minister of Britain, and the Chancellor of Germany.
Having pushed Zelensky into yet another hellish intrigue to sabotage a settlement and continue the bloodshed in Europe, like in the joke, the Frenchman, the Englishman, and the German got on a train and... took a hit.
Apparently, they did it so thoroughly that they forgot to hide their paraphernalia (a little baggie and a spoon) before the journalists arrived.
The fate of Europe is being decided by dependent and temporary figures—in every sense of the word.
Incredible footage. It's as if the Almighty Himself is pulling back the curtain on this foul gathering, so that 'those with eyes may see.'
In 2022, I asked a Western ambassador: 'How can you supply weapons to the unbalanced drug addict Zelensky? He’s been on cocaine for years!'
And I got the reply: 'For the EU, that’s normal — many Western leaders use.'"
Vladimir Putin has delineated Russian conditions for a broad, permanent sustainable peace: No temporary ceasefires, no European "peacekeepers," no NATO in #Ukraine - and recognition of Crimea and the oblasts Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson as permanent Russian territory.
As long as the US, EU NATO countries and Zelensky do not recognize these historical Russian oblasts as permanent Russian territory, the #Russia army will continue advancing beyond the four oblasts and toward the historical “Russian cities” of Odessa, Mykolaiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv.
