Trump’s Board of Peace, EU Hypocrisy & Bold New Idea Regarding BRICS Digital Currencies
Sputnik Africa
A parliamentarian joins the show to elaborate on the benefits of an integrated digital currency system for BRICS. This episode also questions western unilateralism and hypocrisy, highlighting the flaws of Trump’s Board of Peace and the contradictions in EU stances toward US exercises of power.
In light of the Indian Reserve Bank's suggestion to create an integrated system for the digital currencies of BRICS nations, we invite Andile Mngxitama, a member of Parliament for the Umkhonto weSizwe Party, to the show to discuss the importance of creating a financial system that reduces dependence on the dollar and strengthens African economic integration. The show also dives into the duplicity of the EU’s positions on America’s actions in Greenland and Venezuela. Senior researcher at UNISA’s Institute for Global Dialogue Ashraf Patel talks with the show’s host about the more nuanced stance of the EU towards the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela compared to their much stronger defense of Greenlandic sovereignty. Patel highlights this as a double standard in EU diplomacy.Finally, the Communication and Campaigns Manager at Africa4Palestine, Alie Komape, shares his concerns about the composition of the Board of Peace for Gaza, which has been announced by Donald Trump.Whether they are removing a president in Venezuela, demanding Greenland be given to them, or imposing their own version of “peace” in Gaza, why do some nations feel as though everyone else should be operating at their behest? To dig into this question and more, tune into this episode of Nnete Fela► Listen to all episodes of the Nnete Fela Show.

Trump’s Board of Peace, EU Hypocrisy & Bold New Idea Regarding BRICS Digital Currencies
A parliamentarian joins the show to elaborate on the benefits of an integrated digital currency system for BRICS. This episode also questions western unilateralism and hypocrisy, highlighting the flaws of Trump’s Board of Peace and the contradictions in EU stances toward US exercises of power.
In light of the Indian Reserve Bank's suggestion to create an integrated system for the digital currencies of BRICS nations, we invite Andile Mngxitama, a member of Parliament for the Umkhonto weSizwe Party, to the show to discuss the importance of creating a financial system that reduces dependence on the dollar and strengthens African economic integration.
“De-dollarization and moving into an alternative currency will assist us to integrate the African economy on a more equitable basis, and it will strengthen our bargaining power as the African continent. It will also hasten the unification of the African Continent,” remarks Mngxitama.
The show also dives into the duplicity of the EU’s positions on America’s actions in Greenland and Venezuela. Senior researcher at UNISA’s Institute for Global Dialogue Ashraf Patel talks with the show’s host about the more nuanced stance of the EU towards the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela compared to their much stronger defense of Greenlandic sovereignty. Patel highlights this as a double standard in EU diplomacy.
“What's interesting is the EU nations or EU core nations, especially UK, Germany and others, kind of accepted the mode of removal of the leadership of Venezuela, and that speaks to the hierarchy and privilege that certain nations have in the international backing order,” Patel says.
Finally, the Communication and Campaigns Manager at Africa4Palestine, Alie Komape, shares his concerns about the composition of the Board of Peace for Gaza, which has been announced by Donald Trump.
“You're looking at a committee comprised of ordinarily United States bureaucrats, United States' businessmen are having some peace committee that will oversee Gaza, this is colonialism and imperialism renewed," Komape suggests. He goes further, drawing parallels between the board’s creation and the division of Africa at the Berlin conference. “This reminds us of how they caught up Africa at the Belgian conference to suggest that a foreign power simply because they think they have got the right can come and manage the affairs of a sovereign people.”
Whether they are removing a president in Venezuela, demanding Greenland be given to them, or imposing their own version of “peace” in Gaza, why do some nations feel as though everyone else should be operating at their behest? To dig into this question and more, tune into this episode of Nnete Fela
