New World Order? How it benefits humanity
September 22 |
After the intervention of the President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, on behalf of the Group of 77 plus China before the United Nations (UN), it was clear that the world needs a new World Order that allows the fulfillment of sustainable development goals at the global level.
For the agglomeration of countries, it is necessary that the world is redistributed again to be able to face the various conjunctures that today affect humanity.
The Group of 77 called for an urgent and comprehensive reform of the international financial architecture, with a more inclusive and coordinated approach to global financial governance, with greater emphasis on cooperation among countries.
In other words, to put an end to unfair competition and start collaborating in sustainable development cooperation for the benefit of humanity and not of a monopoly.
Such cooperation would be carried out in the areas of health, security and cooperation for sustainable growth in the economic area between countries, highlighting solidarity between nations and not competition.
At this point, it should be noted that the current world is distributed for the benefit of Western countries, leaving out the rest of the nations that make up the planet.
The proposal aims to democratize the economy so that nations have the freedom to develop together and in cooperation so that all countries have the same possibilities of development.
For the coalition of the Group of 77, a democratization of the global economy is necessary to combat famine and disease worldwide.
“We will reach 2030 with 575 million people living in extreme poverty (…) barely a third of the countries will manage to reduce national poverty levels by half. We will not put an end to hunger as agreed,” said Díaz-Canel in his speech on behalf of the Group of 77 + China.
The proposal to combat these evils is to put an end to the monopoly maintained by the great powers and promote collaboration among all nations to fight poverty and hunger.
The approach of the G77 plus China in relation to the New World Order is based on the elimination of the monopoly held by the Western powers.
In this sense, it is proposed to put an end to world dollarization and to give strength to new payment systems to promote equality among nations, putting an end to the monopoly held by the United States in payment methods.
It also seeks to prevent technology from being used as a tool for containment and suppression, but rather as a way of uniting nations to collaborate with each other in matters of development.
A slightly fairer new world order would give greater opportunities for development to countries that are in totally unequal competition in today’s world.
The G77 even proposes that cooperation in the area of health should be broader so that nations can work together to solve the different diseases that afflict human beings.
The aim is to avoid making the same mistakes made during the health pandemic, so that the world can act better, as a whole and with the mission of cooperating to solve all kinds of situations together.

Man arrested after deliberately driving into seven children in Osaka
Japanese police arrested a man on Thursday after he rammed his car into a group of seven schoolchildren in an apparent deliberate attack in the city of Osaka.
The children, who were on their way home from school, sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. All seven remained conscious, according to local authorities.
An Osaka police officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the suspect is a 28-year-old man from Tokyo. The officer shared statements the man made after his arrest: “I was fed up with everything, so I decided to kill people by driving into several elementary school children,” the suspect reportedly said.
The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
The injured children, aged between seven and eight, included a seven-year-old girl who suffered a fractured jaw. The six other children—all boys—suffered minor injuries such as bruises and scratches and were undergoing medical evaluation.
Witnesses described the car as “zigzagging” before hitting the children. One witness told Nippon TV that a girl was “covered in blood” and the others appeared to have scratches.
Another witness said the driver, who was wearing a face mask, looked to be in shock when school staff pulled him from the vehicle.
Violent crimes are rare in Japan, though serious incidents do occur from time to time. In 2008, Tomohiro Kato drove a two-ton truck into pedestrians in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, then fatally stabbed several victims. Seven people were killed in that attack.

Clashes erupt during may day protests across France amid calls for better wages
May Day protests in France were marked by a heavy police presence and clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in several cities.
In Paris, Lyon, and Nantes, thousands took to the streets to demand better wages, fairer working conditions, and to voice their dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron’s government.
While the majority of the demonstrations remained peaceful, isolated confrontations broke out in some areas. Protesters threw objects at the police, prompting the use of tear gas and resulting in several arrests.
Videos showing police crackdowns circulated widely on social media, drawing criticism from labor unions and human rights advocates, who denounced the authorities’ response to the protests.

Kristi Noem credits Trump for mass migrant deportations by mexican president
U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem claimed that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has deported “more than half a million” migrants due to pressure from former President Donald Trump.
During a cabinet meeting highlighting the “achievements” of Trump’s administration in its first 100 days, Noem asserted that under the Republican leader’s influence, “Mexico has finally come to the table” to negotiate on migration and fentanyl trafficking.
“The president of Mexico told me she has returned just over half a million people before they reached our border,” Noem stated, criticizing media reports that suggest the Biden administration deported more migrants than Trump’s.
“I wish those deportations were counted,” Noem added, “because those people never made it to our border—she sent them back because you made her.” She went on to thank Trump: “They never made it here because they got the message—because you were so aggressive.”
Noem has made controversial claims about Sheinbaum in the past, prompting the Mexican leader to refute them.
On April 1, Sheinbaum responded to one such statement by declaring, “The president answers to only one authority, and that is the people of Mexico,” after Noem said on Fox News that she gave Sheinbaum “a list of things Trump would like to see” and that Mexico’s actions would determine whether Trump granted tariff relief.
