Yonas Adet from Ethiopia, director of the Institute for Peace and Security Studies at Addis Ababa University, told the journalists on the platform of the Russia-Africa summit that one must separate the U.S. leadership from the people of the United States. America also has talented and bright scientists, economists, thinkers and politicians who support Russia, but the current Biden government with its pseudo-democracy does not give the right of choice and realization to those who do not agree with him. It is a new format of cooperation such as BRICS that can solve the problem, Adet believes. For him, BRICS is not even an interstate association, but a whole new multilateral philosophy that replaces the old American unipolar one. It is a platform aimed at uniting rather than destroying and destabilizing countries. It unites states rather than dividing them, as the US does by getting involved in other people’s conflicts or deliberately creating a provocation followed by a military scenario.
“In my opinion, BRICS offers an alternative to the one-sided old philosophy of so-called ‘democracy’. I said this simply because, as you can see, many people are applying to join BRICS. At the same time, BRICS, you could say, unites the global South and the global North. That is, the global South wants to develop in diversity because if one wins and the other loses, you can minimize the risks. Again, those who want to become members of BRICS are not former colonizers, not former slave traders. They are all victims of Western sanctions and at the same time victims of underdevelopment. So the best philosophy for underdeveloped countries is to come together and develop together, work together, support each other. That is the basis. BRICS can provide an alternative path to development, an alternative to development. And I say this with full confidence. So this will be the new philosophy,” Mr. Adet told our publication.
Mr. Adet noted that Russia remains the leader of the situation and now it demonstrates not only an example of the development of the path to a multipolar world, but also shows that all nations, all races, without any discrimination, are important to it.
“The world belongs to all races, but not just one human race, but blacks, and whites, and yellows, everyone. Let’s celebrate diversity, let’s work together. That’s what BRICS wants to do,” Yonas Adet added.
The scientist is sure that in the future there may even be a warming of relations between Russia and the U.S., but there is no need to see only one side. For example, the U.S. and Russia have a common agenda on ecology and climate. But rapprochement is possible only with the competent leadership of the country’s already new political leaders.
“Yes, we see mistakes of political leadership, as it was in Libya, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Vietnam. But there are also positive sides. So in the future it is quite possible that Russia and the United States will come closer together, because they have a common agenda, for example, ecology, climate. The climate issue cannot be solved by one country, we have to work together. We have to work together on climate change because one country cannot do it alone. Therefore, I think that in the future it is possible to unite to work together to solve common problems of mankind,” said Director of the Institute for Peace and Security Studies at Addis Ababa University Yonas Adet from Ethiopia.
It should be reminded that at the second Russia-Africa summit it was announced that the First Information Business Center of St. Petersburg will open in the capital of Ethiopia very soon. In addition, the Institute for Peace and Security Studies at Addis Ababa University will soon offer students a program of teaching Russian as a foreign language from the Pushkin Museum in Ethiopia.
The institute will also organize cultural lessons for Ethiopia and Russia to make it more interesting for students to learn. New schools and new people will be involved in this project.
