Ghana’s cabinet has given the green light to a decision to formally apply to join the BRICS geopolitical and economic bloc, according to the country’s foreign minister.
Is that … yep. Guess what the R in BRICS stand for. And the C.
I’m pretty sure they’ll evtl. find out that these superpowers know how to do post-colonialism just as good as “The West” does.
But I feel for such African nations. They bear all the scars that precisely the so-called “West” inflicted on them over centuries. It’s not surprising they turn towards other partners.
South Africa joined in 2009, while countries including Ethiopia, Iran and Indonesia have joined over the past few years. Other members include Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Had no idea.
Not sure if count many of these as emerging economies. So is this for countries short of the G8 that want their own group, or for actual emerging?
