op-ed: Saudi Arabia in BRICS... another big leap

Another broad leap taken by Saudi Arabia towards a bright and promising Arab future is its announcement to join the "BRICS" group, which is a young alliance that is no more than fifteen years old. : Brasilia, Russia, India, China and South Africa, a camouflage designation that does not have any political, military, security, economic, social or historical cultural connotations or goals, and in fact, it is all of this and more, as it includes China and India with about three billion people In eastern Asia, Russia is a descendant of the Soviet Union distributed between the continents of Europe and Asia, a nuclear military power that is the first in the world, Brazil promising socialism in the entire Latin continent, then South Africa liberated from its hateful racial regime at the hands of its symbol Nelson Mandela from prison to power, and from power to BRIC, where it joined later, and the first letter of its name was added to it, and with it it became BRICS instead of BRIC.

In the last periodic meeting No. 15 held in South Africa, the leaders of the five countries appeared, as they had not appeared before, as if they began to reveal some of their secrets. They clearly declared that they were not a trade group. It was useful to send trade or economy ministers to attend the meeting. They clearly announced their targeting for the dollar, to deal with each other in their local currencies, as a precursor to issuing a unified currency in their name, with which they can exchange their five currencies. This targeting of the dollar does not target the nation that exports it, America, but rather the countries that deal with it. They clearly announced the targeting of its uniqueness by ruling the world, with iron and fire, the Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and that they are here to break this criminal capitalist taboo and confront the measures and sanctions imposed by America against other countries. The veto, which we Palestinians had 44 times out of 86 American vetoes. In other words, they are tantamount to declaring a revolution against this status quo.

The accession of six new and weighty countries, including Iran, Argentina, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, comes to make the group’s image more and more clear as a real alliance that enjoys what neither America nor Europe enjoys, demographically, geographically, militarily, economically, and most importantly, morally. So that the poor peoples of the world recover some of what was stolen by this wild West, and still is, by military colonialism at times, and at times economic.. Even we Arabs, "we have a share in the camel" as the popular proverb says, we now have someone to represent us in a manner worthy of our nation in a forum worthy of realizing some of our aspirations, with some legitimate fear that Israel will not join the forum.
