COMMENT by UK based politicial commentator, George Shire, on US President Barack Obama’s policy shift on Cuba announced Thursday.
The Euro – American archive which has been driven by militarism and a fortress Europe has reached a sticky end. The USA and others are very much aware that the economic matrix of power is shifting to the global south.
On the African continent I see a new problem space emerging (a decolonial and Dewestern moment) just as powerful and decisive as was the independence moment. What the west does is of no significance.
They know the writing is on the wall and all this raproachment is window dressing. Our global futures lie in an enlightenment led by the global south and the north knows that their dominance and policies are unsustainable. – George Shire
