South Sudan: Big powers are using sanctions to suppress developing countries
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Sudan has said that one of the main challenges facing the poor countries of the third world is the sanctions of the world's major powers against them.
James Pitia Morgan said this at the meeting of the Antalya Diplomatic Forum (ADF) and added that, "Sanctions are used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and powerful nations to put pressure on developing countries." He said African countries have vast land, many natural resources and human resources and that, "The only thing we don't have is capital, because that capital is controlled by forces that we cannot approach." He was quoted by the Anadolu news agency as saying that Western countries are trying to strengthen their imperialism by using sanctions on the one hand, and stealing the resources of other countries, especially the poor, on the other hand. At the same time, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guinea Bissau has said that 33 of the 46 countries in the world are found in Africa and added that: These countries cannot achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN (SDSs) by 2023 due to the lack of integrity in the world. Carlos Pinto Pereira has addressed the rulers of the West by saying: The leaders of the West are sick and eager to loot the property and resources of others without any limits. And Sylvie Baipo-Temon, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Central African Republic has explained that: We have been a colonial country for a long time, and today we are still facing colonialism. This prevents us from setting our own economic goals. According to the politician of the Central African Republic, Western sanctions, contrary to their expectations, have been the catalyst to divide and reorganize world politics.
