I wish to salute the founding fathers of the Non-Aligned Movement who gave us a solid start in the fight against the influence of hegemony that emerged in the 1940s. Indeed, this failed approach to shared global prosperity was challenged in history (Catholicism in Europe, Metternich in Austria-Hungary, not to mention those who tried and succeeded temporarily in colonising us only for it to end badly for them).
Looking at the turnout and momentum under the theme of “Deepening Cooperation for Shared Global Prosperity”, I feel strongly, as a third-generation anti-colonial fighter from Africa, that we may be the hope of the world.
