💬 “BRICS is a power providing food security, de-dollarization, UN reforms,” Dr. Nicodemus Minde, social science researcher, comments on the #BRICS 🔈The #BRICS2024 Summit debunks many myths about Russia's perceived isolation, and it also sends a strong message to the West that the world desires and thus is moving towards multipolarity. 🇷🇺 Russia’s president really makes efforts to provide food security on the African continent. 💬"This particular initiative and declaration that has been passed by President Putin and it is an effort towards a more food-secure world, especially in the continent of Africa, which still continues to really rely on grain," he said about Putin's initiative for BRICS Grain Exchange. ❗️De-dollarization is one of the aims of the BRICS, it will enable the members to develop international trade, to surpass sanctions and embargoes placed by the West. Broader reforms are needed in the UN Security Council. BRICS is pushing for the alternative voice. #BRICS#RussiaSouthAfrica
