Africa's Awakening Will Be 'Fatal Blow' to Europe: Saudi Media

Africa is enjoying significant attention in terms of international agenda. In August, BRICS sent an official invitation for new members to join the bloc, including two African countries, Ethiopia and Egypt. Moreover, during the recent G20 Summit, the African Union was accepted as a new member of the group.

The awakening of the countries of the South, in particular the African states, will deal a "fatal blow" to Europe, the Saudi government newspaper Okaz pointed out.
According to the outlet, anyone familiar with the history of Europe and the United States knows the "number of human lives lost", on which modern Western states were founded. These countries continue to play the same "destructive role" disguised as "human rights and democracy".

"European colonization of Africa has not ended because it is cheaper and easier to continue building Western financial empires. European colonialism is supported by most international institutions," the media outlet noted, mentioning NATO and the UN in this list.

Towards the erasure of colonialism

The Okaz newspaper added that events in Africa, including the coup in Niger, are frightening Western colonizers. It said that one of NATO's goals in Ukraine was to "preserve Western unipolarity" in the world and "prevent Russia and China from creating a new world order."
But another mission of the Alliance was to "prevent the awakening of Africa". "If the revolt in the countries of the South continues, it will deal a fatal blow to Europe," said the media.
According to Okaz, the liberation movements that have emerged in Africa in recent years will inevitably lead to the elimination of the "last pockets" of European colonialism.
