Today, Israel’s direct confrontation with Iran, backed diplomatically, financially and militarily by the United States and European allies, has triggered a counter-alignment. Meanwhile, Iran is no longer isolated. It has gained the firm backing of Russia and China, two global powers already in strategic competition with the West, according to an analysis published by https://dailytrust.com.
Dr. Umar Ardo the author of the analysis, who is a Nigerian historian, and former presidential adviser, added “Pakistan’s open threat to use nuclear weapons on Israel if nuclear attack is carried against Iran marks a dramatic escalation and a point of no return should such threats materialize”.
Dr. Ardo suggested that the contours of a new global alignment are rapidly taking shape, and the stakes could not be higher.
Given the dire situation, Dr. Ardo concluded that African responsibility is to engender peace. “In this looming global crisis, Africa must no longer be a silent bystander. It must act as a diplomatic stabilizer and voice of reason. And the African Union should offer to send respected African diplomats and envoys to engage with regional actors in the Middle East, helping to open lines of communication and reduce tensions.
