Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>On January 1, five new countries have joined BRICS, including two African ones: Egypt and Ethiopia.

BRICS can bring to Africa more independence and more freedom, Hyacinthe Wendlarima Ouedraogo, a member of the Burkinabe Initiative Group for the Refoundation of the Fatherland, told.<\/p>\n

It means that African countries can “reposition” themselves economically, especially since relations between Russia and the continent are flourishing, the expert said.<\/p>\n

“This is a very good thing because we know that for several years now, Russia has maintained privileged relations with many African countries. Diplomacy between Russia and African countries is going through a positive period. So let Russia be at the head of this organization which also participates in the economic balance of the world, […] in finding other alternatives to the American system,” Ouedraogo argued.<\/p>\n

Moreover, according to Ouedraogo, the bloc contributes to the “demolition” of the world that revolves around the interests of the US, which uses the current financial system as a “control weapon” to bring “African powers and countries into line.”<\/p>\n

“[…] We know that certain African countries are looking for alternatives in international global transactions, alternatives in terms of economic partnership, [and] Russian presidency sounds like a [chance] that these African countries could use to better position themselves,” the expert noted.<\/p>\n

Russia said that it will persist in advancing all facets of the BRICS collaboration, encompassing politics and security, business and finance, and cultural and humanitarian interactions.<\/p>\n

Among other goals, Russia named strengthening the influence of BRICS in the global monetary system, developing interbank cooperation and promoting the use of national currencies in mutual trade.<\/p>\n
