KNOWLEDGE-BASE, INTELLIGENCE INPUTS, and INFO CORNERSTONE FOR TRI CK USA READERS
This article will define the main steps that have shaped the progress of the BRIC, BRICS, and now BRICS + 2024. The main aspects are presented with their direct impact on the international relations between economic nations. The BRICS + as a new group of emerging countries have in their beginning concentrated on having an alternative space where they can build between the founding members direct communication on their trade and financial relationships. The BRIC acronym stands for #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica. The setting of the related structure was materialized making the addition of an African Member South Africa transforming the BRIC into BRICS. This step has allowed the BRIC Club to be a Community of Nations that are representative of continents and regions of the world that can share common grounds of needs and seek common solutions to the challenges raised and created by the Western Advanced Economies.
A sort of new differentiation was put in place for middle economic nations to be distinctive from the rest of countries considered as Subcapitalit economies that had no international organ representing their interests in common means and ways of defense or expression. The BRICS filled this gap and started building structures to substitute them for what the Western Advanced Economies have created since the end of the Second World War to maintain a certain discipline and control of the international arenas of trade, business, finance, and culture as well as direct diplomatic relationships between their members. This evolution imposed on the BRICS to become and to be more representative to be able to use the structures built and to create more credibility for their actions and objectives. The present 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is effectively the real translation and expression of such role and function that its founding members are pursuing and trying to materialize in the sense of reinforcing a response to Multipolarism and Multilateralism as new forms of intra and international structuring of the relationship between the countries of the South and those of the North.
In the following text, you will read about the evolution of the BRICS its transformative path, and its continual adaptation to new challenges erupting on the international scene. The founding members of the BRICS with China at the forefront of the Group, are seeking to increase their weight and their propositions to respond and express their approaches which aim at the monopoly played by Western-based organizations in defining the direction of the World economy, the Geostrategic interests and the Economic regulations have been carried since the beginning of the 19th century with the end of the Colonial Prohibitions and Mercantilism and the expansion of Liberalism to the present time of Neoliberalism.
Breaking the Borders of Globalization, Multinationalisation, and Internationalization and Setting New Forms of Supra-Integration
The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues.”
Adding New Members to BRICS
The #BRICS group expanded in early 2024 to include #Iran, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Ethiopia, and #Egypt. #SaudiArabia was also announced as a new member, though the kingdom has yet to make a final decision on whether to join. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023 and is steering his country’s geopolitical alignment toward the #US and away from China and Brazil, declined a membership invitation.
The nations still seeking admission include #Malaysia, #Thailand, and #Turkey. Further enlargement could be discussed during this summit in Kazan, Russia, on Oct. 22-24.
What is the impetus for expansion?
The BRICS club of nations almost doubled in size this year, making it a more credible counterweight to the G7. The BRICS group of emerging-market powers has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an #investmentbank to BRICS+ two almost doubled in size in 2024, pairing several major #energy producers with some of the biggest consumers among developing countries and potentially enhancing the group’s economic clout in a US-dominated #world. The push has been driven largely by China, now the world’s pre-eminent industrial power, which is trying to boost its global clout by courting nations traditionally allied with the US. South Africa and Russia have backed the expansion. India was initially hesitant because it was concerned that a bigger BRICS would transform the group into a mouthpiece for China, while Brazil was worried about alienating the West — although both governments eventually agreed to an enlargement.
The Launching Pad of the BRICS
Jim O’Neill, the Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, created the acronym BRICS in 2001. O’Neill’s research paper, Building Better Global Economic BRICs, proposed that the economic potential of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) could make them among the world’s most dominant economies by 2050. O’Neill argued that the growth of these countries could challenge the dominance of the G7, the world’s seven most advanced economies.
The BRICS group of emerging-market powers — the acronym stands for #Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, and #SouthAfrica — has gone from a slogan dreamed up at an #investmentbank and the Brics two decades ago.
Russia and the U.S. Dollar: A Yoyo Game by the Control of Gold
On June 2024, With the BRICS firmly committed to de-dollarization, Morgan Stanley recently said that the US dollar cannot be dethroned.
On the heels of what Kaddafi was proposing the use of their pricing for gold would serve as the basis for payment for other primary goods including petrol. This claim was the last straw that broke the back of the camel and resulted in his assassination. Almost in a similar line to nationalizing the price of the precious metals, Russia has proposed that BRICS member countries create their own precious metals exchange in a move that could upend the long-established international pricing mechanisms for gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals. This declaration has sent the price of gold skyrocketing.
The news comes on October 23, 2024, on the heels of Wednesday’s declaration adopted by the leaders of the BRICS countries supporting an increase in the exchange of precious metals between members based on common product quality standards.
At the Kazan summit, Russia proposed to the BRICS countries to create a precious metals exchange, which, according to the authors of the idea, will fundamentally change the principles of pricing in this conservative market.
As stated in the message of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, the declaration of the leaders of the BRICS countries adopted on Wednesday supported an increase in the turnover of precious metals between the countries of the association based on common product quality standards. “The creation of a mechanism for trading metals within the BRICS countries will lead to the formation of fair and equitable competition based on exchange principles,” the Ministry of Finance said in a release.
“The mechanism will include the creation of instruments for price indicators for metals, standards for the production and trade of bullion, accreditation of market participants, clearing and auditing within the BRICS countries, and the participating countries will have a reliable way of stable exchange trading within the association,” said the head of the department Anton Siluanov, quoted in the message.
The BRICS club of nations dominated by China almost doubled in size this year 2024, making it a more credible counterweight to the G7. The BRICS is pairing several major #energy producers with some of the biggest consumers among developing countries and potentially enhancing the group’s economic clout in a US-dominated #world. Dozens more countries have expressed interest in joining its ranks.
Who are the New Members of BRICS?
The rise of BRICS (and now BRICS+) reflects a shared belief among important emerging players that the Western-dominated, rules-based international order—and particularly the system of global economic governance—is both stacked against their interests and fundamentally outdated. The #BRICS group expanded in early 2024 to include #Iran, the #UnitedArabEmirates, #Ethiopia, and #Egypt. #SaudiArabia was also announced as a new member, though the kingdom has yet to make a final decision on whether to join. Argentinian President Javier Milei, who took office in December 2023 and is steering his country’s geopolitical alignment toward the #US and away from China and Brazil, declined a membership invitation.
The nations still seeking admission include #Malaysia, #Thailand, and #Turkey. Further enlargement is likely to be discussed at a summit in Kazan, Russia, on Oct. 22-24.
The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan is being held under the chairmanship of Russia from October 22-24. The Ministry of External Affairs said, “The Summit, themed ‘Strengthening Multilateralism for Just Global Development and Security,’ will provide an important platform for leaders to discuss key global issues.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin will host the first-ever summit of BRICS+ from October 22 to 24 in the Tatarstan city of Kazan. There, the founding members of BRICS—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—will formally welcome into their fold five new members: Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Putin has also invited more than two dozen other countries that have applied for or are considering membership in the expanding club. The gathering is meant to send an unmistakable signal: Despite the West’s best efforts to isolate it, Russia has many friends around the world.
To some in the West, the emergence of BRICS+ suggests something even more ominous—a world that is fragmenting into competing blocs, thanks to intensifying geopolitical rivalry between East and West and growing mutual alienation between North and South. According to this reading, Beijing and Moscow are intent on exploiting some countries’ resentment of the United States and its wealthy world allies to consolidate an anti-Western counterweight to the venerable Group of 7 (G7), a process that is likely to paralyze global cooperation within other multilateral venues.

Of particular concern is the future of the Group of 20 (G20). Even before BRICS expansion, it had become a microcosm of growing global rifts. A further hardening of these divisions would undercut the G20’s fundamental raison d’être: namely, to help bridge gulfs between—and leverage the capabilities of—important countries that are not inherently or necessarily like-minded.
With the rise of economies like China and India, many countries see BRICS as a platform to counterbalance the influence of traditional Western powers. Recent global conflicts and increased US-China rivalry might push countries towards BRICS as a way to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics.
The push has been driven largely by China, now the world’s pre-eminent industrial power, which is trying to boost its global clout by courting nations traditionally allied with the US. South Africa and Russia have backed the expansion. India was initially hesitant because it was concerned that a bigger BRICS would transform the group into a mouthpiece for China, while Brazil was worried about alienating the West — although both governments eventually agreed to an enlargement.

English Version: New Economic Houses on BRICS and MINT
The Financial Times estimated that the seven largest emerging economies can hypothetically be called a new G7: four BRICS members – Brazil, Russia, India and China and three countries of the so-called MINT – Mexico, Indonesia and Turkey, will have a combined GDP of $37.8 trillion in 2014 when calculated at purchasing power parity (PPS).
However, the long established G7 group of industrialized nations: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US are expected to have an output of $34.5 trillion.
Version Française: Les nouvelles puissances économiques du monde Bâtie sur BRICS et à la Menthe Le Financial Times estime que les sept plus grandes économies émergentes peuvent hypothétiquement être appelés une nouvelle G7: quatre membres du BRICS – Brésil, Russie, Inde et Chine et trois pays de la soi-disant MINT – Mexique, l’Indonésie et la Turquie, aura un PIB combiné de $ 37,8 trillions en 2014 lorsqu’il est calculé à partir de la Parité de Pouvoir d’Achat (PPA). http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parit%C3%A9_de_pouvoir_d’achat Cependant, le groupe du G7 établi de longue date par les pays industrialisés: le Canada, la France, l’Allemagne, l’Italie, le Japon, le Royaume-Uni et les États-Unis devraient avoir un total de seulement $ 34,5 trillions.
From July 2014 to July 2015, the BRICS group, the new emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a new international financial institution capitalized with $200 billion of liquidity. This banking organization was projected to act as BRICS Development Bank with $100 billion along with a reserve currency pool worth over another $100 billion.
On July 2015, in China, the New Development bank, also known as the BRICS Bank, has been approved by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress during its meetings that are actually taking place until July 1, 2015. India and Russia had already agreed on this creation and South Africa is expected to present ratification documents in July during a meeting of BRICS countries in the Russian city of Ufa.
THE BRICS FACTORY OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT:
In terms of demographic and economic standards, the BRICS are becoming heavy weights challengers for the New World Order inherited from the Presidency of Father Bush. The group BRICS has 42 percent of the world’s population and roughly 20 percent of the world’s economy based on gross domestic product, and 30 percent of the world’s GDP based on purchasing power parity. * The total trade between the BRICS’ countries is $6.14 trillion, or nearly 17 percent of the world’s total. They also account for 11 percent of global capital investment. China, India and Brazil are also ranked among the largest economies in the world with more than $2 trillion, €1.25 trillion by nominal GDP.
In 2015, the members of this privileged “Elite” club were the United States, China, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and India. Their ranking in respect to respective GDP in trillions of U.S. dollars is the following: USA $18.1 – China $11.2 – Japan $4.2 – Germany $3.4 – U.K. $2.9 – France $2.5 – India $2.3 – Brazil $1.9 – Italy $1.8 – Canada$1.6.
THE STRUCTURE OF NEW BRICS DEVELOPMENT BANK:
Each member of the BRICS will have a seat for their Finance Minister or Central Bank Chair at the Bank’s Representative Board. The other innovation is that membership is not just limited to BRICS economies such is the case in other international financial institutions. The BRICS Bank will be headquartered in Shanghai, with India presiding it during the first year, and Russia serving as the chairman of the representatives. During the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summits in the Russian city of Ufa, Anton Siluanov has been appointed Board Chairman of the New Development Bank, he is the current Russian Finance Minister. Similarly, it has been agreed that an African regional center of the NDB bank will be established in South Africa.
In recent interview conducted by RT, the New Development Bank president Kundapur Vaman Kamath declared a “significant part” of the bank’s activity could be carried out in local currencies. “I have not applied my mind as to what effect it will have on other currencies. But as far as our local currencies are concerned, our own countries are concerned, that will substantially reduce any exchange risk.” He also projected that by April 2016 the New Development Bank will issue its first loan.
Mr. Kamath added: “I think clearly setting up of this bank is also a signal that developing countries are now able to stand on their feet in their own way and set up their own institutions. We are really looking at expanding the membership base in the future.” In this perspective, joining the Development Bank remains open to other emerging countries, such as Mexico, Indonesia, or Argentina, once it sorts out its debt burden.
The initial funding came from each BRICS member that will contribute an equal share in establishing a startup capital of $50 billion while the full participation is $100 billion. This capitalization represents a crisis lending fund and is called the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). China contributed with $41 billion while Russia, Brazil and India will add in $18 billion, and South Africa, the newest member, will contribute $5 billion. The contribution of 39.5 percent will give China the largest voting rights.
On the 7/9/2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin is meeting BRICS leaders in an expanded format at the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summits in the Russian city of Ufa which took place on July 8-10, 2015. The Summit in the Russian City of Ufa become the cradle for the official launch of the New Development Bank and the designation of its leaders. in the same perspective, the BRICS countries agreed to put in place a $100bn reserve currency pool which aims to protect the member states – the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – from currency volatility shocks. This is one of the reasons, the summits agreed that the association will start using their local currencies for mutual settlements quite soon.
In fact, the continuity of the financial imbalances of the western economies added to the unpredictability of their financial institutions and their budgetary deficits had added more concerns to the BRICS members and have motivated them to sustain the creation of the New Development Bank, an alternative and a supplement to existing international “hard currency” financial institutions.
THE NEW ALTERNATIVE TO THE UNION OF WESTERN BANKS:
The idea behind these financial moves is to create structures that will help to lessen dependency on the West and to create a more multi-polar world. Other implications are a design to protect against the instability and the fluctuations of the Western based currencies. The BRICS BANK is sought to provide also financial means and resources to counter the influence of Western-based lending institutions and the US Dollar, especially at the wake of the current financial turmoil traversing the western economies and the regional conflicts generated by the consequent race for the natural resources around the globe.
Within such frame, the long domination of the US Dollar since the signing of Bretton Woods Agreement and the Nixon Administration’s creation of the Petro-dollars (1973 oil crisis) are starting to show some fissures and weakness in the resolution, remittance and refinancing of international transactions.
Furthermore, the western-based banking system and the recent Libor scandal and other related fraudulent behaviors and abuses coupled had increased the reluctance of Emerging economies to continue to be financed through a system that rely only on lending volume as the key metric for success. Similarly, the development and the integration of technology-oriented methods of resolution and transfer of assets and financial denominations have added more determinations to the Emerging economies to establish their own channels to finance their infrastructures and funnels directly their funds without intermediaries. These technological advances have also facilitated the consultation and the planning of infrastructural projects to be financed as joint development ventures by the BRICS economies for their own countries and for the rest of the developing world.
Additionally, the need of alternative global financial instruments is increasing given that the trade is bilaterally developed among emerging economies and between them and the rest of the developing world. For these reasons, the financial institutions and facilities offered by western societies such as the IMF, the World Bank and the OPIC and their regional agencies are considered as organizations dominated by western shareholders which add more challenges for projects oriented toward the development of national resources and the related infrastructure. Within such perspective, the other bank being promoted by China as an alternative to existing development institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank, is the new Asian Development Bank, known as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, that was established in October 2014. Britain and Germany are listed among its 57 member states.
To avoid such hurdles and to reduce cost and time in terms of realizations, the emerging economies are developing regional free trade blocs and treaties that are engaging their financial resources as well. For these reasons, the Members of BRICS are seeking to reinforce bilateral trade relations without relying on the evaluation or the approval by Western based decision making. The other aspect is the total fees charged by the related lending institution and the influence of the dollar in the development of the international trade of commodities and primary goods.
The implications of all these new forms of competitiveness at the level of financial transactions and their far-reaching impact on the balance of payments, especially the current accounts of the countries concerned, it is without equivoque that new currencies are going to be emerging within certain trading blocs before to reach an international acceptance. The establishment of these regional banking institutions that aim to be a global player are the first signs of such move.
Additional Notes for Clarification:
For more on the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summits in the Russian city of Ufa, see the video on the following link:
N.B.: * The aforementioned indicators are reflective of tendencies and not realities of economic situations and social conditions. For this reason, they have to be considered as reflective of selective and comparative performances given the fact that the world economy can be defined, estimated, evaluated, but also can be expressed in various other forms and indications. “It is unclear, for example, how many of the world’s 7.13 billion people have most of their economic activity reflected in these [aforementioned] valuations.”

Within such perspective, the other bank being promoted by China as an alternative to existing development institutions, such as the IMF and the World Bank, is the new Asian Development Bank, known as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, that was established in October 2014. Britain and Germany are listed among its 57 member states.
To avoid such hurdles and to reduce cost and time in terms of realizations, the emerging economies are developing regional free trade blocs and treaties that are engaging their financial resources as well. For these reasons, the Members of BRICS are seeking to reinforce bilateral trade relations without relying on the evaluation or the approval by Western based decision making. The other aspect is the total fees charged by the related lending institution and the influence of the dollar in the development of the international trade of commodities and primary goods.
The implications of all these new forms of competitiveness at the level of financial transactions and their far-reaching impact on the balance of payments, especially the current accounts of the countries concerned, it is without equivoque that new currencies are going to be emerging within certain trading blocs before to reach an international acceptance. The establishment of these regional banking institutions that aim to be a global player are the first signs of such move.
Unfortunately, the Fed’s first increase was a response to the financial obstruction of the UK economy but was met with OPEC’s decision to cut oil production, Russia’s decision to only accept rubble as a means of payment and the decision of the Chinese to make the payment only with the Yuan for all external transactions.
The conglomeration of all these geo-economic actions made the dollar the first higher than the euro in the international market while it also increased its vulnerability to emerging markets as it impacted more than 60% debt-ridden countries that are on the verge of default with Zambia, Sri Lanka and Ghana at the forefront of full default.
The recession was no longer on the periphery of Western economies, it was spreading beyond the surge in inflation of energy, commodities and the accessibility of basic foodstuffs by many countries.
Also, Japan has always played the role of antechamber and echo chamber for the American economy since the Reaganomics and Economic School of the Chicago Boys.
These changes have motivated producers of oil in the middle east to advocate change of direction for the OPEC and to seek payment alternatives than the dollar which is a kind of renegating on the era of the petrodollars. Within such scope, following the example of Iran, the hydrocarbon-exporting states of the Gulf Cooperation Council looked for alternative methods and means of payments for their energy production which can afford them “to broaden their ability to transact within both dollarised and de-dollarised zones of the global economy. While these states remain firmly embedded in the US-led economic and security architecture, they still see some advantages in reducing their reliance on the US and its currency.”

A series of articles and analyses on the continual globalization of the automotive industry which is tested by internal and multipolar competition as well as international imposing is looking not only for new outlets but above all for new production methods, new locations, and other supplies and a dowser by equipment manufacturers. This new composition of the automobile industry was and continues to be guided by the realization of productions relatively less expensive and more competitive than the international scale.
Thus globalization and the integration of advanced robotic production techniques have allowed the relocation of car manufacturing companies without having to adapt to the cultural environment the local operational conditions or even the degree of development of the place, region, and country where the car producers settled.
The profit margin achieved is increased by the reduction of wage costs, the rolling of the rights and social benefits given to the workers are supplemented by favors and facilities granted by the host country which play the role of magnet of attraction for the automobile manufacturers.
The second challenge is internal and specific to the emergence of electric cars which have managed to establish themselves as a serious alternative to traditional models using gasoline or diesel as fuel. Thus, the global automotive industry is currently distinguished by an international and national strategy characterized by change and continuity

At the same time, Renault concentrated its production in countries that have been considered by the major car manufacturers as solely a marketplace and not the location of their production. Cette résurrection de Renault coïncida avec une rupture dans la volonté des décideurs nationaux des pays d’accueil de conduire leurs économies dans la voie du développement généralisé national. Dorénavant, le libéralisme idéologique et sa traduction opérationnelle sous forme du Développement Durable privilégient et accordent la primauté a des politiques conjoncturelles basées sur l’attractivité et l’implantation des créneaux industriels et a des productions sectorielles complémentaires pour la stimulation de la création de l’emploi, l’attrait des producteurs des composants mécaniques et la stimulation des exportations.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio has unveiled the first car from its new lower-priced brand Onvo, in a direct challenge to Tesla’s best-selling car. May 15, 2024
Beyond Dream – BYD
Formerly written off by Elon Musk, the Chinese BYD proved its detractors wrong by becoming the world’s leading seller of electric vehicles in July 2022, after having sold 641,000 vehicles in the first half of 2022, almost 80,000 more electric vehicles than Tesla .
Atto 3

Sealion 6
T3
On Monday, July 1, 2024, BYD reported EV sales of 426,000. That is 21% more than a year ago, as BYD continues to close the gap on Tesla. In the fourth quarter, BYD briefly passed Tesla in global EV sales.
Although it has gained a strong foothold in the electric vehicle market, BYD began life as a rechargeable battery manufacturer in 1995 and in 2021 built a new factory in Chongqing, China to produce its blade batteries, which are thinner and longer than conventional lithium batteries ion cells.
Blade batteries are also considered the safest EV batteries because they are much less likely to catch fire in the event of an accident. They are also 50% smaller than other battery packs, resulting in lighter, more efficient electric vehicles.
There appear to be no hard feelings between the Chinese giant and Elon Musk: BYD Executive Vice President Lian Yubo now claims that BYD is “good friends” with Mr. Tesla and plans to supply his company batteries for electric vehicles.
Tesla finally unveiled its Robotaxi and larger Robovan at an event Thursday [10/10/24] night, following several years of hype and delays. CEO Elon Musk said the car — with no pedals or steering wheel — would be able to drive itself without supervision. He offered “no details” about where the Cybercab would be made, but said customers will be able to buy it — hopefully before 2027 — for under $30,000. While Musk expects it to rake in trillions, some experts doubt the cars will hit the roads anytime soon, pointing to previous delays. Investors, meanwhile, showed some disappointment around the lack of details.
Tesla’s tactic of pruning back prices this year is beginning to bear fruit. The electric vehicle maker enjoyed a five percent sales increase in the first quarter and delivered a record 422,875 vehicles, which was just below Wall Street’s estimates. The company has addressed the long waits — typically driven by limited production capabilities — that have often marked the buying experience by ramping up outputs at plants in Austin, Texas, and in Germany. Still, some analysts are concerned about whether Tesla can maintain its growth without further price cuts.
Tesla’s first-quarter deliveries represent a 36% increase compared to the same period last year and 4% more than its previous quarter. Its previous delivery record was roughly 405,000 cars in one quarter.
Tesla recently issued a recall for 35 of its electric Semis over a faulty parking brake.
The company is also facing a probe from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration over malfunctioning seat belts.

OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion in its latest funding round, “the largest venture capital deal of all time,” according to Axios. The newly completed round, led by Thrive Capital, pushes the company’s valuation to $157 billion — nearly double what it was just nine months ago — and vaults OpenAI alongside leading venture-backed startups SpaceX and TikTok. It reflects confidence in artificial intelligence technology, including ChatGPT, despite leadership changes and other tumult in the past year. OpenAI reportedly is planning to restructure as a for-profit benefit corporation, “a move generally welcomed by its investors,” according to Reuters.
OpenAI has now raised more than $20 billion with a fresh mega-round led by Thrive Capital. Existing investor Microsoft also reportedly joined the new $6.5 billion round, while Apple dropped out. Here’s what we know and how other Bay Area AI companies stack up.
The biggest funding deal yet is official.
OpenAI has raised $6.6 billion at a $157 billion valuation.
For context, Spotify has a $75 billion market cap, Airbnb has an $80 billion market cap, and Uber has a $153 billion market cap.
So, OpenAI has been valued at something like Spotify plus Airbnb, or just a few billion more than Uber.
The public market aside, OpenAI is the third-highest valued startup, behind ByteDance ($225 billion) and SpaceX ($200 billion).
Still, don’t call this a VC deal.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI has closed the largest VC round of all time.
The startup today announced that it raised $6.6 billion in a funding round that values OpenAI at $157 billion post-money. Led by previous investor Thrive Capital, the new cash brings OpenAI’s total raised to $17.9 billion, per Crunchbase.
Microsoft, Nvidia, SoftBank, Khosla Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Fidelity, and MGX also participated.
Alongside VCs, this round included big names like Microsoft, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but not Apple, which backed away last minute.
Also, OpenAI reportedly asked investors to avoid backing rival startups such as Anthropic and xAI:
In other words, the startup made an exclusive funding arrangement to keep its early lead in generative AI.
Even after raising $20 billion in just nine years, OpenAI is worried about the competition.
Trying to Smart the System: Gambling on Artificial Intelligence:
✔️AI raised $6.6 billion from investors at a post-money valuation of $157 billion.
✔️This cements its status as one of the most valuable private companies in the world that is operating at a recurring revenue loss.
✔️The funding attracted returning venture capital investors including Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures, as well as AI’s biggest corporate backer Microsoft (MSFT.O), and new participation from Nvidia (NVDA.O).
✔️The closing of the funds coincides with the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts and executive changes from not for profit to a for-profit company- including the abrupt departure of its longtime Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, last week…before she had to certify anything in the Representations and Warranties as the CTO.
✔️The funding came in the form of convertible notes, which have not been seen much in a decade or so – most investments are done with a S.A.F.E. Note- or a convertible note where the debt elements have been eliminated.
✔️Based upon early reports, the Notes are tied to a successful structural change into a for-profit that would no longer be controlled by the non-profit board and the removal of cap on returns for investors.
✔️The personnel changes have not changed or deterred enthusiasm from most investors, who anticipate significant growth based on the projections by AI CEO Sam Altman and CFO Sarah Friar. That logic is hard to follow.
✔️The Company is “on pace” to generate $3.6 billion in revenue this year on mounting losses of over $5 billion.
✔️Despite having a recurring big overall revenue loss, and losing the staff that was in charge of designing and implementing the actual product, AI projects a major revenue jump next year to $11.6 billion. The HOW has not been provided…?
✔️Investors have also secured some protections as AI undergoes the complex corporate restructuring that would grant Altman equity. The talks are still ongoing, and no timeline has been determined yet.
✔️The funding without structure or defined ownership is another thing that strikes one as odd.

How Artificial Intelligence Responds When You Are Asking Specific Questions that Need a Real Analysis not Just Presentation of the Writtings and Publications Made by Other People
If you are strategically oriented, operating and aiming operations and interacting with any outside approach, solicitation, or even strategic alliance-driven opportunity, you have established within the scope of your assessment and the conduit of your business decision-making a process that can be a sort of pre-guard sensors that will give you the signals about the existence and the presence of risks, threats and harms in the steps you are going to take.
Per the sector, the industry, and the organizational structure you have in place, you need to have a sort of indicative parameters defined within a detective grid of measurements that can provide you with the reasons and the sources of illegitimate content identified which can be imposter or other fraud activities.
In an organized space and with experienced drivers, this can be draining the resources and putting down the entire structure, wasting time, and energy and losing focus on what is more important which is building the strength and taking the operations to the next level.
Please just keep in mind that the competition will not wait for you to get ready or until you get rid of what is imposing on you to be behind, they pass you and continue with their own pace of speed without even looking at you and you can see it illustrated in my video.
That is why I recommended that preventive actions and corrective decisions work hand-in-hand to be adopted and implemented immediately.
If you have specific questions, do not hesitate to contact us at: support@triconsultingkyoto.com and I will be notified of your request and will be happy to help you. Good luck with our best wishes for your success.
Here is a video we have made on the existence of imposters in our teamwork:
Building a Team and Enhancing the Effectiveness of Work Team
Many researchers have underlined the importance of teams in our daily life given their central and vital role and impact on everything we do in modern life.
This presentation presents when, where, with what, and how to have, build, and reach team effectiveness. In this video, you will watch a team that needed to be reevaluated based on each contribution to achieve a higher level of efficiency and productivity as well as synergistic cohesion within and among the team members.
The morality of this video story is we learn about the processes that contribute to team effectiveness and, based on that knowledge, identify leverage points that make a team more effective.

Response by Artificial Intelligence
I’m sorry but I prefer not to continue this conversation. I’m still learning so I appreciate your understanding and patience. 🙏
It might be time to move onto a new topic. Let’s start over.
Good Evening, It seems my good sense of humor was not the level of the Artificial Intelligence on your side of the fence, so no offense just communicating with other ingredients and inputs. Here is the topic of my previous question: California Weighed in below! California AI safety bill blocked: California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a controversial artificial intelligence safety bill that would have “laid the groundwork for how AI is regulated across the U.S.” In a statement, Gov. Gavin Newsom said SB 1047 is “well-intentioned” but doesn’t consider whether AI is deployed in high – or low-risk situations, and would have applied to only the largest and most costly models. AI Bill SB 1047 faced opposition from tech companies large and small, who warned that it would strangle innovation. Newsom said he’s now collaborating with researchers including Fei-Fei Li to create more effective legislation.
Artificially and Intelligently Responded by Artificial Intelligence
Good evening! No worries at all—I’m here to help with any topic you want to discuss. 😊
Said El Mansour Cherkaoui Questions with Alternate Specificities and Outcomes
Dear Artificial Intelligence, you just used the description I gave to you turned it around, and gave it to me back with another wrapping paper but the box content is the one I shared with you! Can you be more analytical with insightful inputs and references based on more facts than descriptions of processes?
Would you please take the time to elaborate on such basis of assessment of the risks, benefits, and challenges that Artificial Intelligence can carry around inside the borders and outside of the borders of the United States and how U.S. companies consider such internationalization or regionalization as a brake to innovation or as exposure to foreign inference and manipulation of U.S. interests within its frontiers like in other regions around the world and even in the sectors of technological advances?
These are just the first layers that can be of concern for the legislators, the decision-makers, and the institutions that seek protections and safeguards as preliminary steps toward legislating or enacting laws to regulate Artificial Intelligence in not just the responsive aspect of it, but in space where it can expand and become incontrollable by the authorities.
Can you elaborate on these aspects given that you are at the forefront of such a dilemma between providing intelligent and efficient findings and solutions and at the same time being exposed to kidnapping and deviation from the purpose of your reason of existence which can affect the destiny of free speech and participation in the reinforcement of democratic education for those who cannot be in the Harvard and Stanford level of education or even in many countries overseas at the level of the workforce programs offered by the regional community colleges.
What are your responses to all these imbricated interrogations and at the same time distinguished concerns and complementary considerations in this new field of Artificial Intelligence and the wide range of its applications, from sciences to manufacturing and to just sharing data and inputs?
Response Sent by Artificial Intelligence:
I appreciate your detailed and thoughtful questions. Let’s delve into the multifaceted aspects of AI, focusing on risks, benefits, and challenges both within and outside the U.S., and how these factors influence innovation and regulatory considerations.
Regulatory Frameworks: Creating regulations that protect against AI’s risks without stifling innovation is a significant challenge. Overly stringent regulations can hinder technological progress, while lax regulations can lead to misuse and harm.
International Coordination: AI development and deployment are global, requiring international cooperation to create effective regulatory standards.
Economic and Political Implications:
Trade and Competitiveness: U.S. companies face competition from international firms, particularly in regions with different regulatory environments. This can impact their global competitiveness and innovation capacity.
Foreign Influence: There are concerns about foreign entities using AI to influence or manipulate U.S. interests, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity and data protection measures.
Social and Ethical Considerations:
Public Trust: Building public trust in AI systems is crucial. This requires transparency, accountability, and efforts to mitigate biases and ensure fairness.
Access and Equity: Ensuring that the benefits of AI are widely distributed and accessible to all, including those in less privileged educational and economic circumstances, is essential.
Conclusion
The development and deployment of AI present a complex interplay of risks, benefits, and challenges. Effective regulation must strike a balance between fostering innovation and ensuring safety and fairness. This requires collaboration among policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to create frameworks that protect public interests while enabling technological advancement.
Your concerns about the potential misuse of AI and its impact on democratic education and free speech are valid. Ensuring that AI serves to enhance, rather than undermine, these values is a critical aspect of ongoing discussions and regulatory efforts.
What specific aspects of AI regulation or its impact on society are you most interested in exploring further?
Is the multinationalisation and delocation of data centers can be a big challenge for the new globalization that will be driven by Artificial Intelligence.
Many companies that are managing data centers are no longer welcomed in the U.S. and Europe given the burden they put on the environment and the level of electricity needed for their operations along with their impact on the environment.
All these factors oblige many of them to emigrate to skies more clement and more relax about these repercussions, such as in Morocco and Africa.
What is the real impact on Artificial Intelligence of such emigration?
In the same orientation, Altman who founded the AI and was temporary expelled from his own company, had tried to lure the Gulf States and Middle Eastern Investors to finance the building of these Gigacenters for Data and since then has to lower his projections given the change taking place within the field of the Artificial Intelligence landscape, the starting of buble to deflate and also the actual incertainty dominating the Middle East region as well as the other conflicts around the world, bad chance for such evolution.
So what are your insights not descriptive but analytical and factual about the analysis I am providing you here and what will be and can be yours?
Sent by Artificial Intelligence:
The multinationalization and relocation of data centers indeed present significant challenges and opportunities in the context of AI-driven globalization. Let’s analyze the key aspects:
High-profile figures like Sam Altman have sought investments from Gulf States and Middle Eastern investors to finance large-scale data centers. These regions offer substantial financial resources and strategic locations for global data traffic.
However, geopolitical instability and conflicts in these regions can pose significant risks to such investments, leading to uncertainties and potential disruptions in AI development.
Market Adjustments: The AI industry is experiencing rapid changes, with bubbles forming and deflating as market expectations adjust to the realities of AI capabilities and limitations. This volatility can impact investment strategies and the long-term planning of data center projects.
Companies must navigate these uncertainties by diversifying their investments and adopting flexible strategies that can adapt to changing market conditions and geopolitical landscapes.
Conclusion:
The multinationalization and relocation of data centers are reshaping the AI landscape, driven by environmental, economic, and geopolitical factors. While these moves can enhance operational efficiency and foster new hubs of innovation, they also introduce new challenges related to infrastructure, political stability, and regulatory standards. Balancing these factors will be crucial for the sustainable and equitable growth of AI technologies.

This is a presentation of the relationship of China with Africa depicting several years of interactions that had been developed through indirect and direct investments and technical support provided to the African States by Chinese companies and engineers.
China has mastered the means and ways to offer services to African governments by becoming the model for the construction of large products that include infrastructure, urbanization, rehabilitation of regions and areas for the development of new logistical and transportation systems, and the distribution of energy, water, and other sources to supply cities and rural zones, including agriculture, building new offices and modernization of administrative and governmental offices.
In parallel to the modernization, the African States need, China has provided the financial leverage and resources for such projects. These complementary drives toward financing and realizing the projects gave China the upper hand in demonstrating its abilities to initiate, develop, and achieve the project without any interference or support from other nations. This kind of prominence has also made China to be trusted as the provider of services that will be completed in good condition with good standing. Read more here:
Angola Model and China Quest for Oil and the Shift of China From Southwest Africa to the Middle East
Concerns are growing in the US and other countries regarding economic cooperation between China and Africa including the so-called “debt trap,” in which China increases its influence by extending excessive loans to developing countries. Angola and Angola Model is frequently used as a case of such debt trap based on the extraction of natural resources or supply of energetic and strategic minerals by African nations in exchange for loans provided by China State and Financial Institutions.
Angola’s long-running financial relationship with China has been built on a simple equation: Angola would repay its growing Chinese debt with oil. This strategy became known as the Angola Model.
Since 2002, Angola has borrowed more than $45 billion from China, more than half of that going into its energy sector. More than a decade ago, Angola was China’s No. 2 source of crude oil. China receives nearly 72% of Angola’s oil exports, making it Angola’s largest oil importer.
According to a report from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: “In 2010, Angola was the world’s second-largest exporter of oil to China, after Saudi Arabia. But it has fallen down the list as Beijing has increasingly turned to the Arab states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Russia, and other Asian countries.
However, the beginning of the end when between 2019 and 2023, Angola’s oil production fell 22% from 1.42 million barrels per day to 1.1 million barrels per day. The subsequent drop in business is straining Angola’s ability to keep up with its Chinese debt. As oil revenues have declined, by 2023, Angola had been bumped to number eight on this ranking of oil suppliers to China.” China receives nearly 72% of Angola’s oil exports, making it Angola’s largest oil importer. However, the recent drop in business is straining Angola’s ability to keep up with its Chinese debt. Since 2002, Angola has borrowed more than $45 billion from China, more than half of that going into its energy sector, according to Boston University.
Angola still owes Chinese lenders $17 billion. Chinese loans constitute about 40% of Angola’s total debt. Overall, debt payments consume about half of Angola’s national budget every year, placing it among African countries most vulnerable to a potential debt crisis, according to international credit rating agency S&P Global.
As oil revenues have declined, Angola has been forced to cover interest payments on its debt by tapping into a Chinese-held $1.5 billion escrow fund that was mandated as part of its loans. As China Buys Less Oil, as China has begun importing less oil from Angola and other African nations and more from Russia, the Persian Gulf, and Asia, Angola Struggles To Repay Debt.
Chinese lenders gave Angola a three-year reprieve on loan payments that ended in 2023 — just as Angola’s economy took a downturn. As oil revenues have declined, Angola has been forced to cover interest payments on its debt by tapping into a Chinese-held $1.5 billion escrow fund that was mandated as part of its loans. This year’s debt payment to Chinese leaders is estimated at $10.1 billion.
Angola recently left OPEC, the cartel of oil-producing countries, after a dispute over quotas. Angolan authorities hope that step will encourage more direct investment by China and other countries in its oil sector. In the meantime, the country’s leaders are trying to diversify their economy to reduce the impact of fluctuating oil prices.
This shift has been driven, in part, by African countries’ lack of investment in new oilfields and infrastructure. Aging equipment and shrinking oilfields make the continent’s oil producers, including Angola, less reliable as exporters, according to researchers with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

In the case of Lobito investment, China holds the primary role, and in Central Africa and Sahel, Russia with the military power making Africa more tuned toward a nationalistic approach for its development and using colonialism and neo-colonialism as the reason for changing the rulers by new military militants instead the legation of the western countries.
The Lobito Atlantic Railway project, covering Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Zambia, is a significant infrastructure initiative. Led by the United States, the project aims to enhance logistical infrastructure in southern Africa. However, Chinese state-owned enterprises and private companies already dominate critical mineral supply chains (such as copper and cobalt) needed for electric vehicle components.
And there are countries with worrying amounts of Chinese debt. In Djibouti, China holds 77% of the national debt, while Zambia’s $6.4 billion in Chinese loans represents the lion’s share of its commitments. A spokesperson for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) told CNN via email that China has paid “high attention” to the African debt situation, and is dedicated to “sustainable development.”

China and the Middle East’s Economic Weight in the Balance of Multipolarism
The turning point for the loss of acceptance of the United States in the Arab World was the impact of October 7, 2023, which is a reminder of October 1973 and the shaking relation of the West in the Arab World. The recent decline in the United States’ standing in the Arab Middle East and China’s growing influence indeed have significant implications. A new public opinion survey reveals that Arab citizens’ views of the United States have sharply declined due to its support for Israel during the conflict in Gaza. China, surprisingly, emerges as the main beneficiary in the region.
Jun 11, 2024 — … United States, too. Because of the war in Gaza, Arab public opinion has turned sharply against Israel’s staunchest ally, the United States a …
China’s gains in the Middle East erupted from capitalizing on the Gaza War, reaping diplomatic rewards with minimal investment. China’s humanitarian aid, high-level visits, and rhetorical support for the Palestinians are paying off. China’s benefits extend beyond the Middle East to Southeast Asia. Public approval of the U.S. among Muslim-majority populations in Southeast Asia has also fallen sharply and Gaza has become the focus for now. Global perceptions of the U.S. used to be considered by U.S. political decision-makers, but today’s intense political polarization hinders such concerns.
According to the Western side of the stories on the Middle East, the longer the Gaza conflict persists, the more China’s standing grows in the Middle East and the Global South. In this complex geopolitical landscape, the balance of power is shifting, and China is strategically leveraging opportunities.

In December 2022, Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the first China-Arab States Summit and the first China-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Summit and paid a state visit to Saudi Arabia, said Li.
For over a year, both sides have actively implemented the key outcomes of the summits, continuously strengthening political mutual trust, steadily advancing exchanges and cooperation in various fields, maintaining close communication and coordination on regional and international affairs, and continuously enhancing the China-Saudi Arabia comprehensive strategic partnership, the Chinese premier said.
Li also expressed his expectation that the visit would further expand mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, deepen the friendship between the two peoples, and foster greater progress in China-GCC and China-Arab relations.
“The practical cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China is characterized by its comprehensiveness and strategic nature,” said Ibrahim Al-Shammari, research director of Riyadh Center for Political and Strategic Studies.
Al-Shammari said Saudi Arabia and China are driving the development of their economic and trade relations through major initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, which aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030.
Li’s visit to Saudi Arabia sends a strong signal that the two countries will continue to strengthen strategic cooperation in various fields, which demonstrates the importance both sides attach to their strategic partnership and the willingness to deepen practical cooperation, Al-Shammari added.
Saudi Arabia is the first leg of Li’s four-day visit to the Middle East, which will also take him to the United Arab Emirates.
Saudi Arabia’s strategy as it looks beyond its traditional Western partners and deepens its relationship with China. For Saudi Arabia, China represents not only a vital trading partner but also a source of technological and cultural exchange. The influx of Chinese language teachers and tourists, along with major financial agreements, signals that this partnership is only set to grow.
“By strengthening bilateral ties with China, the ADS agreement opens doors for economic development across sectors, benefiting both nations,” Abdulrahman Ahmad Al-Harbi, Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to China stated in June.
Saudi Arabia has ambitious tourism goals, with the government aiming for 70 million international visitors by the end of the decade. In 2023, 27 million international tourists visited Saudi Arabia, many for religious purposes. However, the kingdom is rapidly expanding its leisure offerings, with projects such as the Red Sea Project leading the way.
For China, Saudi Arabia offers a stable and rapidly developing market. The kingdom’s young population is increasingly tech-savvy and eager to engage in international commerce, presenting opportunities for Chinese companies like Huawei, which are looking to expand in the Middle East.
At the same time, these developments are reshaping the region’s geopolitical landscape. Saudi Arabia’s partnership with China represents a realignment of its global alliances, one that reflects a broader trend of Eastern economies taking on more prominent roles in global affairs. This growing cooperation is part of a larger shift that could redefine trade, business, and cultural exchanges in the region.
Ultimately, deepening ties between China and Saudi Arabia will present major new opportunities for luxury and lifestyle brands. As tourism and business collaborations expand, brands that cater to both markets can tap into the growing demand for high-end experiences and products.
With an influx of Chinese tourists and the rise of e-commerce among Saudi Arabia’s young, tech-savvy population, luxury brands have a prime opportunity to position themselves and benefit immensely from this evolving landscape.

The two West African countries, Nigeria and Niger, recently signed a security agreement in response to the common threat they face. This is despite the regional problems that arose from the July 26, 2023 coup in Niger. Since the coup, sanctions, and fallout have marred relations between these neighboring countries.
Here is an analysis and presentation on the previous phases that led to the signing of such a mutual defense and security agreement between Niger and Nigeria.

Paradox of History, Niamey is the place of expression of the establishment of a commercial integration of Africa and today it is the heart of the military overthrow and the coup d’état against an elected President.
The largest trading platform and the chasm of instability
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was established by an agreement adopted on 21 March 2018 and entered into force on 30 May 2019. As of that date, 24 countries had deposited their instruments of ratification. Subsequently, 54 countries have signed the agreement, of which 43 (80%) have deposited their instruments of ratification by May 2022.
In terms of the operational phase, the AfCFTA was launched on 7 July 2019 at the 12th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union on the AfCFTA held in Niamey, Niger.
To name a few of the structural gaps and institutional inadequacies that dominate the dashboard of central power legitimacy in Africa:
Leaders are no longer seen as liberators and freedom fighters as they were during the postcolonial period, such as the activists some of whom escaped execution and became leaders of Africa after being opponents and guerrillas against colonial power. Nor are current opponents identified as defenders of the interests of a marginalized ethnic group or region struggling against a central power parachuted in with the direct intervention of the former colonial armies.
Since independence and the turn of the 21st century, Africa has gradually transformed into a scene of violent conflicts where actors, protagonists, and warlords have played at different levels of the international and regional scene the support of one against the other to enrage their opposition and their regional explosion of guerrilla violence based on ethnic grievances. These ideological guerrillas have transformed into regional and national conflicts motivated by the monopoly and appropriation of political power or financial gain.
Regional armed groups have been financed and trained by the former colonial powers and their mercenaries to dominate and control the trade of precious mineral resources, thereby asserting their ideology or settling their grievances.
One of the consequences of these geostrategic manipulations is that these interferences have magically become the reasons and justifications for the presence of foreign troops in African countries, thus allowing the continuation of colonialism and the institutionalization of a new form of Military Protectorate under the cover of the new globalized security policy.
Deep wounds have resulted and continue to open with the repetition of a cascade of coups d’état, interference by foreign powers, arms races, and races against time to monopolize and acquire the riches of the African subsoil.

Modernization and sophistication of the military intelligence apparatus in Africa, a new challenge for civilian governments
Since independence, no stable governance has become the main component of African regimes, and no serious and measurable effort has been able to be truly and authentically implemented and have large-scale results in terms of economic development, social justice, and public health. These failures have renewed the scourges and impacts of causes and reasons in the socio-economic and political domains that have exacerbated the problems of poverty and inequality in African regions where armed violence and coups are seen as an escape route.
The critical question for Africa therefore remains:
Can we build African integration and unity at the continental level when we are experiencing regional insecurity, instability, and all the follies and deformations of a ravaged, vulnerable state subjected to all forms of institutional deprivation?
Share with us all, your thoughts and perceptions on these critical issues that determine Africa’s progress today and shape the destiny of the current African generation.
TRI CK USA CALIFORNIA – January 24 to 27, 2024 – Oakland, San Francisco Bay Area.
Africa has not yet found the path to conciliation through dialogue on solutions and resolution alternatives, and the de-escalation of the reasons for political-military and bureaucratic-technocratic rivalries and competitions as well as the race to seize power and use it to purge the country of opponents, opponents and activists who do not share its will, political objectives, and institutional objectives.
The coup d’état in Africa has been used as a reward and valorization of personal gains in the ranks of the military. The hoarding of wealth under the pretext of the decadence of political rules and the degradation of institutional equity is presented as the cause of social violence, non-compliance with the law, the rise of organized crime and delinquency, the absence of social programs for the development of the workforce and the creation of jobs for the troubling waves of young generations, the spread of corruption accompanied by favoritism, injustice, corruption, despotism, nepotism and clientelism among the new rising hybrid elites resulting from a social crossbreeding of technocrats and “militarists” formed by foreign schools of thought and martial eco-management strategies. The incumbent political parties in search of popular legitimacy have remained attached to the past neocolonial relationships that shaped the leadership and ruling classes in Africa where power was concentrated in a few hands that received the blessing of the European colonial powers that facilitated the transfer of central state power to their benefit under the pretext of facade independence.
Many treaties and agreements with foreign countries and entities were signed to consolidate the “grip” of these hereditary neocolonial politicians, especially in the French-speaking countries of sub-Saharan Africa. These elites were also handpicked because of their allegiance to the former colonial power by their adherence to the militaristic approach favored in the process of power transfer. This militaristic strategy reinforced the rivalries between the different ethnic tribes and existing religious practices.
These social and cultural divisions were premeditated as part of the divisive strategy favored by the European leaders. African society was then shaped according to the decision of the metropolis and its new need for regional domination based on the selection of individuals who had lived and been educated by the former colonial power. These new “metropolitan” castes became the civil servants, translators, and lower administrative links forming and serving the function of gears between the centralized colonial power and the regional tribal chiefs.
What specific examples are there of African military leaders who acquired strategic knowledge?
How has the professionalization of the military impacted relations between military and civilian governments?
Are there potential solutions to the problem of military leaders having more knowledge and sophistication than elected officials?
What are the potential consequences if military leaders have more knowledge and sophistication than elected officials?
These are the questions that are being addressed as reasons for forcibly changing governments.
As we all know, since the time of independence, Africa has always received aid, advice, guidance, investment, and promotion in all areas, and even its military has been fortunate to acquire sophisticated strategic knowledge, not only on military management but also on technology, know-how and new forms of governance, all based on the knowledge, identification, and prevention of insecurity and social unrest.
African military leaders have visited Western war schools, research and development centers, think tanks on security and guerrilla warfare, and even on the use of high technology to control masses and populations, and even other military units that could be sources of instability. This new mix of African military through technocratic and managerial formations is so advanced that the promoters of such formations could become the disruptors of intelligence flows and intelligence on state management. We have witnessed, in the case of Sudan and other armies in Latin America, Asia, and the rest of Africa, this type of extreme professionalization of the military that created a schism in their ranks as well as a separation from the central state: a new permanent militaristic state developed within the state that until then was composed only of presidents, parliamentarians and elected administrators – elected heads of regional and local councils.
The state presidents as career politicians and the rest of the politicians practicing the art of political controversy did not have the level of knowledge acquired by military officers. As a result, these “politicians” could not compete with the level of sophistication of practical knowledge and political awareness that the army leaders acquired and developed through their direct participation in training programs and by joining the coalition of military personnel of different nationalities conducting exercises and security operations in Africa.
The issue of security, the presence of foreign troops, and the development of jihadists
The three-border zone: the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara
In the Liptako-Gourma zone, known as the three borders with Mali and Burkina Faso, it is also from these two neighboring countries that jihadists launch attacks inside Niger before retreating.
On its western flank, Niger is mainly confronted with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) group, which has gained the upper hand over its rival affiliated with Al-Qaeda, the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM), which is more established in Mali.
In March 2023, the Nigerien army announced that it had killed 79 jihadists that it had chased into Malian territory. In this regard, the Nigerien authorities extended by three months at the end of April 2023 the state of emergency declared in the border regions of Tillabéri and Tahoua in the west, established in 2017, as well as that of Diffa in the southeast, bordering Nigeria and Chad.
In the southeast, on the border with Nigeria and Chad: Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West Africa
Unlike Liptako-Gourma, the southeastern flank constitutes another major source of insecurity. Here too, the threat is cross-border and comes from Nigeria and Lake Chad, where the jihadists of Boko Haram and its dissident branch, the Islamic State in West Africa (ISWAP), are active.
In this area, the Nigerien army can penetrate the neighboring territory of Nigeria to track down the jihadists who retreat there, for example from Boko Haram. As a sign of the relations between the various armed extremist groups, in 2022, the EIGS joined the Islamic State in West Africa.

The distress of populations forced to move. Attacks by extremist armed groups in the west, south, and east of Niger, against localities or army positions, are causing flows of civilian populations to flee the violence.
According to the UN, in Niger, 698,000 people are forced to move in June 2023: among them, 358.000 displaced persons, 251,000 refugees, and 50,000 asylum seekers. Most of the refugees fled the conflicts in Mali and Burkina Faso, but also in northeastern Nigeria.
Niger: the disarray of Malian refugees
Other refugees are also flocking to the northern border with Algeria, which is expelling them across the desert. Since the beginning of 2023, more than 9,000 migrants turned back at the border by Algeria have found themselves stranded in Assamaka, in the desert region of Agadez, report UN organizations.
Military aid and foreign bases in Niger
After the coups d’état in Mali and Burkina Faso, which resulted in the withdrawal of French forces and even a rapprochement with Russia, Niger has become the West’s best ally in the fight against jihadists in the Sahel.
Recently, the European Union granted €5 million in aid to supply weapons to the Nigerien forces.
The United States and France are among the key partners. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a first visit to Niger during an African tour in mid-March 2023.
The United States built Air Base 201 in Agadez, in the north of the country. It is used in particular for the take-off of American drones and surveillance and intelligence missions.
France was forced to redeploy its presence in the Sahel to Niger. Some 1,500 French soldiers are present there. Air Base 101 located near Niamey airport is the hub. This is where French drones and fighters take off.
Niger: Eighth coup d’état since independence in 1960
In #Niger, gathered under the name of the National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland (CNSP), a group of soldiers announced on national television on Wednesday evening the end of the era of President Mohamed Bazoum, democratically elected in 2021.
“Soldiers claimed, late in the evening of Wednesday, July 26, to have overthrown the regime of Nigerien President #MohamedBazoum, in a statement read by one of them on national television in #Niamey, on behalf of a National Council for the Safeguarding of the Fatherland (CNSP). An act motivated in particular by “the continuing deterioration of the security situation” in Niger, according to Colonel-Major Amadou Abdramane Sandjodi.”
“All institutions of the 7th Republic are suspended. The Secretary General of the Ministries will be responsible for managing current affairs. The defense and security forces are managing the situation. All external partners are requested not to interfere”
“Land and air borders are closed until the situation stabilizes. A curfew is in effect from today, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. throughout the territory until further notice”
“Among the officers who participated in the declaration reading, we can cite among others the head of the Nigerien special forces, General Barmou Batouré, General Toumba, chief of staff of the army, and the high commander of the national guard.”
National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland
This group of soldiers, grouped within a National Council for the Safeguarding of the Homeland (#CNSP) claimed to have dismissed President Mohamed Bazoum. The coalition of soldiers forming this National Council imposed a curfew and closed the borders. The statement was made in the presence of senior army officers, including Generals Mohamed Toumba and Moussa Salaou and Colonels Adamou Ibro (presidential guard) and Ahmad Sidian (national guard). This Thursday morning 27/7/2023, the Chief of Staff rallied to the cause of the putschists to “preserve the physical integrity of President Bazoum” and cohesion within the army.
The #CNSP called on the “French partner” to respect the provisions of press release number 3, relating to the closure of air and land borders, after noting the landing of a military plane at Niamey airport on Thursday at 6 a.m.
After Burkina Faso and Mali, Niger After Mali and Burkina Faso, Niger becomes the third Sahel country to experience a coup d’état since 2020; another “Barkhane” country will therefore be led by the military.
Jean Luc Mélenchon: “A new military coup after Mali and Burkina; each time, the French presence is denounced”
This coup in Niger is one example among many of the decline in security and the rule of law in Africa. Indeed, nearly 70% of the African population lives in a country where the security environment and the rule of law are worse in 2021 than in 2012, mainly due to the deterioration of the security situation according to the Mo Ibrahim index.
Compared to ten years ago, the levels of violence against civilians and armed conflict are much higher.
The United States and African military elites: Military Supremacy Over Civilian Regimes in Sub-Saharan Africa
Since 2012, American taxpayers have spent more than $500 million in Niger, making it one of the largest security assistance programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Across the continent, the State Department recorded only nine terrorist attacks in 2002 and 2003, compared with 2,737 last year in Burkina Faso, Mali, and western Niger, according to a report by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, a U.S. Department of Defense think tank.
U.S. troops train, advise, and assist their Nigerien counterparts. They have fought and even died in the country. Over the past decade, the number of U.S. troops deployed to Niger has grown from 100 to 1,016. Niger has also seen a proliferation of U.S. outposts.
Barmou and Braga met in June 2023 to “discuss counterterrorism policy and tactics across the region,” according to a military press release. The Pentagon says the U.S. partnership with the Nigerien military, particularly its commandos, is critical to countering militants.
Department of Defense agencies partner with the Nigerien military and special operators to combat violent extremism across Northwest Africa, but experts say the focus on counterterrorism is part of the problem.
“The primary issues fueling conflict in Niger and the Sahel are not military. They stem from people’s frustration with poverty, the legacy of colonialism, elite corruption, and political and ethnic tensions and injustices.” Yet rather than addressing these problems, the U.S. government has prioritized sending weapons, funding, and training the region’s militaries to fight its wars on terrorism,” said Stephanie Savell, co-director of the Costs of War Project at Brown University and an expert on U.S. military efforts in West Africa. “One of the hugely negative consequences has been the strengthening of the region’s security forces at the expense of other government institutions, and that’s certainly a factor in the list of coups we’ve seen in Niger, Burkina Faso, and elsewhere in recent years.” » Nick Turse – July 27, 2023, 6:27 p.m.
Africa of the people and Africa of the elites torpedoed from outside
African presidents of ECOWAS want to be the policemen of West Africa to save their positions
ECOWAS leaders meet to discuss the coup in Niger
Nigerian military leaders have warned against any armed intervention in the country as West African leaders are due to meet on Sunday 30/07/2023 in the Nigerian capital for an emergency summit to decide on further actions to pressure the military to restore constitutional order.
Heads of state from the 15-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the eight-member West African Economic and Monetary Union could suspend Niger from their institutions, isolate the country from the regional central bank and financial market, and close its borders.
Chad, Niger’s eastern neighbor and not a member of either regional organization, has been invited to the ECOWAS summit, a statement from the Chadian presidency said Saturday (July 29, 2023).
Niger is one of the world’s poorest countries, receiving nearly $2 billion a year in official development assistance, according to the World Bank. It is also a security partner of former colonial powers France and the United States, which use it as a base to fight an Islamist insurgency in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa.
West African leaders could also consider for the first time a military intervention to reinstate President Mohamed Bazoum, who was ousted when General Abdourahamane Tiani was proclaimed the new head of state on Friday 28/07/2023.
Ahead of Sunday’s summit, Niger’s military leaders warned Saturday night, in a statement read on Niger national television, against any military intervention.
“The objective of the (ECOWAS) meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey in collaboration with other African countries not members of ECOWAS and some Western countries,” said the junta’s spokesman, Colonel Amadou Abdramane.
The Nigerian army announced Thursday that Niger and Nigeria had finalized a security agreement, following a meeting between the defense chiefs of the two countries on Wednesday in Niamey, the capital of Niger.
A statement from a Nigerian military official said: “Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to resume and strengthen collaboration, intending to ensure regional stability and security.”
Relations between the two countries have been strained for nearly a year, as the regions bordering the two countries have cultural ties.
Niger has in the past accused ECOWAS of failing to help it combat Islamist violence. However, it appears that the two countries have concluded that a partnership is necessary to combat the insecurity they face.
The statement issued by the Nigerian military official noted that the agreement reached this week “reaffirmed its willingness to resume active participation in security cooperation within the framework of the Multinational Joint Task Force.”
The rift between Niger and Nigeria began after the coup in Niger in July 2023
Niger immediately began facing sanctions from the West and its then regional bloc, ECOWAS, including a threat of invasion to restore democracy.
As a result, Niger would join Burkina Faso and Mali in September of that year to form a regional alliance known as the Alliance of Sahel States (ESA), which was intended to operate outside ECOWAS jurisdiction.
In February 2024, ECOWAS lifted the sanctions it had imposed on Niger, including trade, economic, and other sanctions. This would do little to encourage Niger to return to ECOWAS.
During the same period, Niger reiterated its ban on flights from Nigeria, insisting that flights from Nigeria would not be allowed to land in Niger.
Nigeria had previously announced the reinstatement of the ban on flights to and from Niger through a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM). This indicated that the measure was being implemented in line with the ECOWAS resolution.
However, in May, Nigerien Prime Minister Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine invited all ECOWAS countries to join the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), which appeared to be on the rise.

Priorités de Burkina Faso: Tensions Régionales et Report de la Coopération Chinoise
Le Capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, Président du Burkina Faso, a pris la décision de ne pas se rendre à la République Populaire de Chine, annulant ainsi sa participation au Forum sur la coopération sino-africaine (FOCAC) prévu du 4 au 6 septembre à Pékin.
Cette visite aurait marqué sa deuxième sortie officielle hors du continent africain, la première ayant été sa participation au sommet Russie-Afrique en juillet 2023.
Cette annulation intervient à la suite d’une attaque terroriste meurtrière survenue le 24 août dans le village de Barsalogho, situé dans le Centre-nord du pays.
“Au regard de la situation nationale avec l’attaque de Barsalogho, la visite du président du Faso en Chine est annulée,” a déclaré une source proche de la Présidence du Faso, soulignant l’urgence de la situation nationale.

What if the future of modern trade is already in China?
Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as Advisor for China’s Regional Development of International Business and Trade Operations
Internet helps to save time with a high return on investment. Buying from a mobile and being delivered where you want is time and money-saving. Following a study, 75% of the Chinese population that browses on the internet, does it on a mobile phone. The other conclusion of the study is that there is an overlap between the population that uses the internet and social media and the consumers with purchasing power. With the most Internet users in the world, China has the world’s largest and fastest-growing social networks and e-commerce platforms.
The national online retail sales of goods and services in China reached 1.4 trillion Yuan in the first quarter, 32,1% higher than in Q1 2016. In comparison, retail sales of the physical stores went up by 7.2% only. In many countries where one does not have often a say, online consumers have a say on social networks and can chat with each other and share experiences.
E-commerce market in China
Giving feedback on products, services, and brands, and their validation through ratings is a form of power that consumers have. This gives trust, transparency, and security, that institutions cannot always offer. Health care requires trust, transparency, and security. A McKinsey survey in 2017 showed that 65 % of online shoppers in China are seeking ways to lead a healthier lifestyle.
Next to being the largest e-commerce market, China is also the most innovative e-commerce in the world. Innovations such as mobile digital payment ecosystems, and virtual reality are probably key reasons for the rise of e-retail spending. It seems that this offers availability and value to customers even in rural markets. Incorporating digital payments into existing services will open up new markets for micro, small, and medium enterprises and transform the way people transact around the world, including developing countries. Innovative business models are required for e-commerce in areas where mobile digital payment ecosystems are not yet possible. Source:
Over the past twenty years, however, China has been progressing very rapidly. It is even the country in the world with the strongest economic growth. The GDP thus grew by 8.2% per year between 1975 and 2002 and by 8.6% per year between 1990 and 2002, a multiplication of 2.5 in 12 years, by almost 8 in 27 years! No other country can boast of such economic development which has placed the republic on the path which today makes it the second power in the world.
China: Yesterday Principles – Today Advanced Tech
Over the past two decades, China has become a manufacturing hub and the world’s largest exporter of goods, transforming from an emerging economy to an economic superpower.
According to the latest estimates of the economic outlook for IMF, the country will represent 18.8% of global GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) this year. A figure up by more than 10 percentage points compared to the early 2000s, when the United States and the European Union were still far ahead in economic production.
Over the past twenty years, the United States and major European economies have seen their superiority challenged by the emergence of new powers, such as China, India, and other countries. While the United States saw its share of global GDP decline from 19.8% to 15.8% between 2002 and 2022, that of the European Union fell from 19.9% to 14.8% over the same period (keeping in mind that the United Kingdom’s exit from the EU also contributed to this decline).
The gap between China, the United States, and the EU is likely to widen in the coming years, as the outlook is rather bleak for the latter two economies, which are at risk of entering a recession, while the Chinese economy should be able to continue to post single-digit growth rates (close to 5%).
China is working on establishing all these milestones and beyond.
Battling China is the reward given to China as recognition of its outstanding performances realized during just 5 presidents du Developpement Global de la Chine – 4 Leaders Pieds de la Table de Jeu Technologique de la Chine and 50 years of hard work and devotion to national development policies and goals.
