Yes, Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands has to end!

Eyal Mayroz October 21, 2023

Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands has to end – but massacres of civilians won’t bring this end any closer. Those who care about Palestine should denounce terror, cruelty and violence against civilians, and put more pressure on their governments to support an end to the Israeli occupation in return for more viable solutions for Israel’s legitimate security needs. Those who are concerned about Israel should do the same, writes Eyal Mayroz, a former counterterrorism expert with the Israeli Defence Forces from 1984-1988.

Bhaso Ndzendze August 28, 2023

Brics is a nebulous entity. This has proved beneficial for member countries hosting Brics summits. They get to set the agenda and use it for their ends – without upsetting the consensus. One common pattern has been the use of summits to set overarching themes that are favourable to the host country’s domestic policy and regional leadership or foreign policy stance.

Africa is being courted by China, Russia and the US. Why the continent shouldn’t pick sides

Bhaso Ndzendze August 24, 2023

Some three decades since the end of the Cold War, the world order is undergoing a structural transformation. At the heart of it is the challenge posed to the hegemony of the US. This is primarily being led by Russia and China which are discontented with Washington’s excesses across the global stage. The African continent is an obvious contender for major power courting as this realignment takes place, writes Bhaso Ndzendze.
