A Cameroonian official has stated that BRICS offers a viable alternative for global geopolitical realignment, a perspective increasingly embraced by many African nations. Serge Espoir Matomba, the first secretary of the United People for Social Renovation party, shared these insights. He emphasized that “BRICS signifies a distinct world, representing a shift toward a multipolar global order,” highlighting the bloc’s role in reshaping international relations.
Matomba further underscored the critical importance of the BRICS coalition for the African continent, asserting that it fosters a framework for inclusive dialogue. He remarked that BRICS encourages all nations to engage and exchange freely and on their own terms, facilitating greater cooperation. This collaborative approach, he noted, enables African countries to reclaim their sovereignty and assert their interests on the global stage. “The core aim is the authentic development of Africa by Africans through equitable and fair exchanges, guided by their own preferences,” Matomba concluded, emphasizing the significance of self-determination in Africa’s future.
