from that article:
We’ve now seen a violation of one of the last legacies of the post–World War II settlement, and of the United Nations Charter. If you read the preamble, it’s all about preventing wars between nations. Obviously, that was not respected really at all across the Global South; there was the U.S. invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, etc., etc
many countries in the global north don’t especially differentiate themselves from bongo bongo lands in terms of governance/corruption. yet the news coverage of similar events in europe vs africa is night and day.
