Iqembu lamazwe e-BRICS lihlela ukuthatha isinqumo kulo nyaka ukuthi liyawavuma yini amalungu amasha nokuthi yiziphi izindlela okufanele bahlangabezane nazo, njengoba i-Iran neSaudi Arabia iphakathi kwalabo abacele ukujoyina ngokusemthethweni, ngokusho kwenxusa laseNingizimu Afrika kule nhlangano.
Ukwandisa ithimba elihlanganisa iBrazil, Russia, India, China kanye neNingizimu Afrika kuzohlomulisa iBeijing, njengoba izwe lomnotho elingelesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni lizama ukwakha amandla okusebenzelana namazwe athuthukile ku-United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank kanye ezinye izikhungo.
I-China yaqala ingxoxo mayelana nokwanda ngesikhathi ingusihlalo ngonyaka odlule, okwabangela ukukhathazeka kwamanye amalungu ngokuthi ithonya labo lizoncishiswa, ikakhulukazi uma abalingani abaseduze baseBeijing bemukelwa. Isamba somkhiqizo wasekhaya waseChina singaphezu kokuphindwe kabili kobukhulu bawo wonke amanye amalungu amane e-BRICS ehlangene.
Isiphakamiso sokwandisa iBRICS sizoba ngesinye sezinhlaka zezomnotho okuzogxilwa kuzo kakhulu kulo nyaka, kusho iNxusa u-Anil Sooklal. INingizimu Afrika ingusihlalo waleli qembu njengamanje.
“Kunamazwe angaphezu kweshumi angqongqozile emnyango,” kusho uSooklal engxoxweni abe nayo eGoli ngeledlule. “Sithuthuke kakhulu ekubhekeni elinye iqembu lamalungu amasha.”
Ukuhlehliswa kabusha kwe-BRICS okungaba khona kuza njengoba amazwe asethuthukile e-Europe naseNyakatho Melika efuna ukuqinisa imifelandawonye ukuze ahlehlise ethonyeni le-China eyandayo futhi eqinile ngokwakha amabhulokhi amasha nokusayina izivumelwano zohwebo nezokuphepha. I-Quad, umfelandawonye phakathi kwe-US, Japan, India kanye ne-Australia, isizuze ukuvelela selokhu yavuswa ngo-2017 ngemuva kokuma ingasebenzi cishe iminyaka eyishumi. Futhi ngo-2021, i-Australia, i-UK kanye ne-US bangena kumfelandawonye wezokuphepha owaziwa ngokuthi yi-AUKUS.
Siphila “ezweni eliphakathi kwezimiso. Asazi ukuthi uhlelo olusha luzoba yini,” kusho uSooklal. “Sikholelwa ukuthi sidinga ukudlala indima ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi sinezakhiwo ezilinganayo, ezibandakanyayo, ezisobala, nezamazwe ngamazwe.”
Ngenkathi i-BRICS ama-akhawunti ku-42% wabantu bomhlaba, amalungu ayo anamalungelo angaphansi kuka-15% eBhange Lomhlaba kanye ne-IMF, ngokusho kwe-Institute for Security Studies ezinze ePitoli.
Ekuqaleni eyaziwa ngokuthi i-BRIC, ngemuva kwesifinyezo yakhiwe ngo-2001 nguGoldman Sachs Group Inc. Isazi Esiyinhloko Sezomnotho uJim O’Neill, i-bloc yasungulwa ngo-2009 futhi iNingizimu Afrika yamukelwa ngonyaka olandelayo. Selokhu yazama ukwakha ubudlelwano obuseduze bokuhwebelana phakathi kwamalungu ngokusebenzisa izivumelwano phakathi kwamabhange awo okuthuthukisa, izivumelwano zokushintshana ngemali kanye nokwenyuka kokuhwebelana phakathi kweBRICS ngemali yakuleli ukuze kwehliswe ukuthembela edoleni.
I-IMF counterweight
Amalungu ayo amahlanu asungula i-New Development Bank, okwakuhloswe ngayo ukuba ibhekane ne-IMF neBhange Lomhlaba, ngo-2014, futhi i-Bangladesh kanye ne-UAE bajoyine lesi sikhungo ngo-2021. I-Egypt ne-Uruguay kulindeleke ukuthi zilandele okufanayo maduze, ngokusho kwewebhusayithi ye-NDB.
Njengoba iBRICS ikade ibhekwa njengeqembu lamazwe athuthukayo anezimakethe, kunokukhathazeka ngokuthi ukwamukelwa kweminotho entekenteke kungase kubuthene amandla ubudlelwano la mazwe azama ukuwakha ngaphakathi kwale nhlangano. U-O’Neill ubona ingqondo encane yezomnotho kumalungu engeziwe.
“Icala lokunwetshwa libuthakathaka kakhulu ngokubona kwami ngaphandle uma benenjongo engcono kakhulu,” esho nge-imeyili. Bazodinga izinhloso ezicacile, uma kukhulunywa ngezindaba zezomnotho, ezohwebo, ezempilo, amandla aluhlaza kanye nezezimali, esho.
Amanye amazwe azwakalise intshisekelo yokujoyina ahlanganisa i-Argentina, i-United Arab Emirates, i-Algeria, i-Egypt, i-Bahrain ne-Indonesia, kanye namazwe amabili avela eMpumalanga Afrika nelilodwa elivela eNtshonalanga Afrika – uSooklal angazange ayisho.
Imithombo yezindaba yase-Algeria ibike intshisekelo yezwe kanti i-Argentina isizwakalise isifiso sokujoyina leli qembu. E-Iran, isikhungo sezindaba se-Fars esisemthethweni sibike ukuthi izwe selifake isicelo sobulungu, licaphuna isikhulu somnyango wezangaphandle, kanti uMengameli waseRussia uVladimir Putin ngonyaka odlule wathi uyakweseka ukungena kweSaudi Arabia.
Umkhulumeli woMnyango Wezangaphandle waseChina uMao Ning uthe esithangamini sabezindaba ngoFebhuwari 10 ukuthi izwe liyakweseka ukwanda.
Akuwona wonke amalungu e-BRICS anomdlandla njengawo.
Yize iBrazil ivumelana nothishanhloko wokwandisa, izwe lisacubungula isikhundla salo futhi liyaxwaya ukuthi leli qembu litshekele ngase-Asia, kusho abantu ababili abajwayelene nokucabanga kwezwe laseNingizimu Melika abacele ukungadalulwa njengokuphawula komphakathi. kwenziwe. Iphinde ifune ukuthi amazwe aseLatin America ajoyine, kusho abantu.
I-India ayifuni amazwe avunyelwe ukujoyina izincomo zamalungu akhona futhi ifuna kusungulwe uhlelo ukuze amazwe ahlangabezane nemibandela ethile ukuze amukelwe, kusho umuntu owazi kahle ukucabanga kwezwe lase-Asia.
Imithelela yokwandisa iBRICS – iNingizimu Afrika eyesekayo – kuzoxoxwa ngayo ochungechungeni lwemihlangano ngaphambi kwengqungquthela egcwele yaleli qembu ngo-Agasti. Uhulumeni unethemba lokuthi bonke abaholi bamazwe eBRICS okuhlanganisa noPutin waseRussia kanye noXi Jinping waseChina bazowuhambela lo mhlangano.
INingizimu Afrika izomema abanye abaholi base-Afrika engqungqutheleni ka-August, kungaba izinhloko zemibuso noma osihlalo bezinhlangano zezifunda ezifana ne-African Union kanye ne-East African Community, njengengxenye yomzamo wokwandisa umthelela we-BRICS, ngokusho kuka-Sooklal.
Ukubamba iqembu ndawonye akuzange kube nezinselele zakho. Umnotho waseNingizimu Afrika kanye nowaseBrazil ubudonsa kanzima kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kanti ukuhlasela kweRussia e-Ukraine esikhathini esingangonyaka odlule kuvivinye ubudlelwano, njengoba i-NDB imisa ukubolekwa imali okusha kweRussia.
“Kaningi ngibuzwa lo mbuzo: Nihluke ngezindlela eziningi kangaka, nizosebenza kanjani?” Kusho uSooklal. “Impendulo yami eyandisiwe kube ukuthi maningi kakhulu amaphuzu okuhlangana kunokuhlukana.”
