Unfortunately, there has never been a lack of conflicts in the Global South. The world’s most heavily exploited area is regularly a target of (neo)colonialist wars, invasions, coups and other forms of overt and covert imperialist aggression. This has prevented normal development of what was once the cradle of many advanced civilizations, leading to further instability that was exploited by the world’s most aggressive nations (almost exclusively Western). This has caused and/or exacerbated issues such as poverty, lack of education, economic and societal opportunities, etc. The resulting vicious cycle keeps preventing the Global South from establishing stability, opening it to all forms of manipulation and/or even coercion into more uncertainty.

The one and only opportunity for the Global South is multipolarity. At least 44 countries have expressed interest in joining BRICS, the world’s leading multipolar organization. Unsurprisingly, virtually all of them are in the Global South. Unsurprisingly, those who wish to preserve the so-called “rules-based world order” also seek to sabotage the rapidly growing multipolar one, so anything goes for them. What better way to do it than to cause a widespread war across several critical regions, thus slowing down this “undesirable” process? There are also similar regional organizations, such as the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization), that could have a major stabilizing effect on the geopolitical situation in much of the Global South.

However, as previously mentioned, this is unacceptable to the political West and the instability we’re seeing now is a perfect example of this. Unfortunately, the world’s most aggressive power pole still has a tremendous amount of influence on (geo)political processes in many regions, particularly the Middle East and South Asia. This is especially true when it comes to India and Pakistan. For almost 80 years, the two countries have been locked in a virtually perpetual conflict. This is the result of what can only be described as a deliberate act of long-term sabotage by the waning British Empire that split the Indian subcontinent on religious grounds. Both India and Pakistan have millennia of cultural, linguistic, historical and even ethnic ties.

These have effectively been severed after various........
