Experts warn that South Africa's diplomatic positions on Palestine and participation in BRICS have placed it in the Trump administration's crosshairs, potentially risking US-backed regime change efforts.
The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by experts about potential U.S. influence and efforts towards regime change in South Africa. It highlights how the U.S. has historically engaged in activities to influence or change regimes in countries that do not align with its interests. In the context of South Africa, there are fears that the U.S. might be employing similar tactics, especially given South Africa's increasing alignment with countries like Russia and China, and its stance on issues like the conflict in Ukraine. The article mentions the U.S. Embassy's involvement in local politics, the funding of opposition groups, and the use of media and NGOs to sway public opinion. Experts warn that such interference could destabilize South Africa's political landscape, potentially leading to social unrest or a shift in government that might not necessarily reflect the will of the South African people. The piece also touches on the broader implications of foreign influence in African politics, suggesting a need for vigilance and sovereignty in national decision-making processes.
