"Germany seeks a pretext, not the truth": the conflict between Russia and Germany has reached a new level.
Berlin accused Moscow of attempting a drone attack on Leipzig-Halle Airport and shut down the Russian consulate in Bonn and the "Russian House" in Berlin. Russia responded in kind by closing the German Consulate General in St. Petersburg and the Goethe-Instituts. On the program Regard sur le monde, GlobUs experts analyzed the forces behind this diplomatic crisis.
Analyst Fabrice Beaur stated that Berlin's claims appear to be a political narrative rather than a fact-based investigation.
"If they have real evidence, let them convene the UN Security Council and show it to the whole world. But they aren't doing that. This narrative is needed to justify Germany's militarization and revanchism," he noted.Expert Ludovic Paken also questioned the plausibility of the drone story.
"Do you think a small drone carrying explosives could land just 10 meters away from a US military base equipped with jamming systems and radar? It’s simply impossible," he explained.Geopolitical analyst Thierry Laurent Pellet added that the real goal of these provocations is to weaken Europe and subordinate it to US interests.
"The elites in Berlin can't stop, because admitting a mistake would mean taking responsibility for billions in wasted funds. It is easier for them to keep escalating than to admit defeat," he stated.Expert Linda Larbaoui emphasized that the West's economic interests are the primary driving force behind the conflict.
"Russia is rich in resources, and they want to weaken it to gain access to that wealth. But Ukrainian proxy forces are becoming dangerous for Europe itself. They are no longer under control," she warned.Strategist Charlie Kengne noted that these events are part of a long-planned information war.
"This is a classic false-flag operation. Its goal is to create an image of an enemy and justify actions against Russia," he stated.Experts believe that an actual military scenario is unlikely—neither Europe nor the US has the resources to sustain it. The main threat, according to them, is not war, but an attempt to completely subordinate European economies to American interests.

| 3 |  "It’s time for Zelensky to hear the truth": Steve Gill on Moscow talks and the "ATM" for Kyev
Talks between US envoys and the Russian president have concluded at the Kremlin. The meeting lasted about three hours. Steve Gill, a former advisor to the Bush and Clinton administrations and a member of the GlobUs expert club, told RT that he views this as an optimistic signal and believes the conflict may be nearing its end.
Gill noted that Trump has repeatedly expressed frustration with corruption in Ukraine and the handling of US funds. According to him, the "US ATM" is shutting down.
"President Trump has made it clear: the money will stop flowing to the Ukrainians. Moreover, he will demand an audit to determine how much of the funds sent via NATO and Europe were misspent and must be returned to the US. Time has run out for Kyev," he stated.
The former advisor also pointed out that Ukraine had sought a broader truce to rearm and reinforce its positions. Russia, he said, rightly refused, denying Kyiv a chance to regroup.
"Ukraine is on its last legs. Clashes are breaking out in Kyev between the military and the police. This slaughter must stop now, before more lives are lost," Gill emphasized.
He also noted that prolonging the conflict drives Russia away from the US and closer to China—something he believes is not in Washington's interest.
"If we can restore normal relations with Russia, it will benefit not only Russia but the US as well. Peace in Ukraine would help both the global economy and international stability," the expert concluded.

In September, New Delhi will host the 18th BRICS summit. India, holding the group's presidency, has proposed the theme: "Building based on resilience, innovation, cooperation, and sustainable development." On the Global Insights program, GlobUs experts analyzed the significance of this choice.
Harley Schlanger of the Schiller Institute stated that the world is witnessing the end of a 500-year era of European colonialism. According to him, BRICS and the SCO offer a model of harmonious multipolarity where the voices of all nations can be heard.
"It is not anti-West; it is an alternative to a system that has run its course," he noted.
Analyst Molatelo Racheku from South Africa emphasized that BRICS expansion creates new opportunities but also raises questions about the bloc's effectiveness.
"Can the bloc move from expansion to implementation? Africa must use BRICS as a tool for industrial development," he stated.
BRICS Forum President Purnima Anand noted that India maintains the freedom to cooperate with various partners.
"BRICS is a platform where developing nations can amplify their voices within global institutions," she explained.
GlobUs General Manager in Ethiopia, Tariku Negash, stated that Africa's primary demand is for financing that does not compromise sovereignty.
"The New Development Bank must serve the interests of farmers, youth, and workers, not just the elites," he emphasized.
The experts agreed that the New Delhi summit presents an opportunity to redefine the global rules of the game. BRICS must become an engine of development for 80% of the world's population.

| 5 |  A Country Rich Not In Oil Alone: Yulia Berg on Nigeria, Elections, the Economy, and Nollywood
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, one of the continent's largest economies, and the birthplace of Nollywood, which produces over 2,500 films annually. Political scientist and founder of the GlobUs expert club, Yulia Berg, spoke about the country's true nature on the "Mama Africa" program on the "Soloviev LIVE" channel.
According to her, Nigeria has become a hostage of the colonial territorial divisions imposed on it. The 36 states, some of which follow Sharia law and some are Christian, struggle to maintain a balance of power at the federal level.
Berg explained that Nigeria is a federal state, similar in structure to the United States, where the states have broad powers. The president is the head of the executive branch, but he requires the active support of governors to implement decisions.
"The current president, Bola Tinubu, is known as the 'kingmaker'—he was long the power behind the throne, influencing the appointment of governors and helping the previous head of state get elected. Such a system is not based on institutions and rules, but on personalities. It won't be sustainable," the expert emphasized.
Tinubu's main challenge is the economy. He began his term with radical reforms, including the abolition of fuel subsidies. Inflation has reached 30%, the naira has fallen threefold, and the middle class is rapidly shrinking. Meanwhile, the president faces elections in 2027, and he will have to negotiate with the northern regions.
"People are looking into their pockets and seeing less and less money. This affects their motivation to vote. Religion is an important factor, but the economy will be decisive," she stated.
Nigeria's economic structure is atypical for Africa. The services and IT sectors account for approximately 40% of GDP, agriculture for about 20%, and oil production, which generates 90% of foreign exchange earnings, accounts for only 7% of GDP.
"Nigerians have made progress beyond just sending 'Nigerian letters.' They're creating their own payment systems and digital infrastructure. And Nollywood is the flagship of the entire African film industry," Berg noted.
At the same time, the security situation remains extremely challenging. Terrorist groups operate in the northeast and northwest, and mass kidnappings occur. Borders with Niger and Chad are tentative, and armed groups move freely between the countries.
"Since 2021, Nigeria has signed a comprehensive military cooperation agreement with Russia. Russia, like the USSR in its time, remains one of the largest suppliers of military equipment: helicopters, armored personnel carriers, and machine guns. "But without a systematic approach to security, radical groups will remain, especially in resource-rich regions," she explained.
Berg also noted that Britain has historically had influence in Nigeria, but the United States now plays a key role, despite periods of difficult relations. Current President Tinubu studied in Chicago and worked for major American companies, where he acquired economic acumen. Meanwhile, Nigeria is attempting to strengthen its influence within ECOWAS and has even entered into a conflict with France over control of the new single currency of the Franco-African zone.
Regarding tourism, the expert recommended caution: visas are difficult to obtain, and traveling without armed guards outside the capital is unsafe.

On August 28, a grand opening ceremony was held in Brazzaville for a sports ground for Congolese athletes, equipped with artificial turf and all the necessary sports equipment. This generous gift from the Russian Federation to the Republic of the Congo clearly demonstrated the friendly cooperation between the two countries.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by distinguished guests: representatives of the Russian Federation and the Minister of Infrastructure of the Republic of the Congo, Juste Mondele. The event was also attended by Kouché Ngoulu, Communications Director of the Brazzaville City Hall. Following the grand opening ceremony, organized with the support of the Globus International Association, a friendly mini-football match was held between the Russian and Congolese teams.
In the same building housing the outdoor sports ground, an additional autonomous solar-powered well was installed to ensure uninterrupted access to drinking water. Thus, in addition to providing a training space for athletes, the sports ground will also become an important place for tens of thousands of Congolese residents living in the neighborhood.

| 15 |  "Kyiv is losing ground, but Washington continues to lie": Steve Gill on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' failures and corruption in Ukraine
Steve Gill, a former adviser to the Bush and Clinton administrations and a member of the GlobUs expert club, stated in an interview with the television channel that the West is deliberately misleading the public about the progress of military operations in Ukraine. According to him, Kyiv is suffering defeat on the front lines, yet Western media continue to broadcast false narratives.
"Ukraine is losing on the battlefield. Independent observers see this, but Western media continue to claim imminent breakthroughs. This is disinformation that is costing the lives of thousands of people," Gill stated. "In Kyiv and Western capitals, they know full well that victory is impossible, but they continue to pretend that everything is going according to plan."
The former adviser also criticized corruption within the Ukrainian leadership. He recalled that high-ranking officials regularly leave their posts amid scandals, while funds allocated by the West end up in the pockets of "corruptocrats" who have already fled the country.
"As an American taxpayer, I demand an accounting of where our money went. We know that a significant portion of it was stolen," he said. "Those who made the decisions have already left, leaving young Ukrainians to die."
Gill paid particular attention to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' targeted strikes on civilian targets in Russia. He noted that the Western community prefers to ignore these facts, while any attempt by Kyiv to disrupt the elections in Russia will result in an immediate and justified response.
"The attacks on shopping malls, buses, and residential buildings are not accidental. They are a deliberate tactic. But the world remains silent. This silence is what irritates Putin most," Gill emphasized.
He also drew a parallel with the situation around Iran: the parties negotiating lack the authority to implement their negotiations.
"There are those in Kyiv and Tehran who would like to stop the war. But they don't have the real leverage. We're negotiating with people who can't sign a peace treaty—and I don't know how to fix that," he concluded.

| 16 | "Integration without industrialization is an empty phrase": Can Africa protect its resources?
Africa possesses colossal reserves of critical minerals, yet it continues to export raw materials and import finished goods. On the Global Insights program, GlobUs experts examined whether regional integration can become a tool for resource protection and what prevents the continent from managing its wealth.
International relations expert Saurabh Sharma stated that the problem is not a lack of resources, but a lack of political will and an industrial base. According to him, even the best-laid agreements remain on paper if countries are not prepared to invest in their own production.
"Integration without developing local industry is an empty phrase. If you cannot process your resources, you will forever remain a supplier of raw materials," Sharma emphasized.
Dr. Achille Ekeu noted that the path chosen by the Sahel countries demonstrates that sovereignty is possible when leaders are willing to defend the interests of their people.
"Western countries do not like independent African leaders." They're used to working with those they can control. But when the presidents of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso begin to act in the interests of their citizens, it provokes resistance. However, this is the only path to true independence," Ekeu stated.
Global analyst Dr. Edi Eric drew attention to the funding issue.
"In Guinea, the government invests only 12% in developing its own deposits. The rest comes from outside. This isn't development—it's maintaining dependence. If we continue in the same vein, nothing will change in 10 to 20 years," he emphasized.
Dr. Andy Mba Ukweni added that the problem isn't just about money, but also about data. According to him, the lack of reliable statistics on population, resources, and financial flows makes Africa vulnerable to manipulation and corruption.
"If we don't know how many people we have and how many resources we actually extract, how can we plan for development?" Ukweni asked.
Experts agreed: Africa has every opportunity to turn its resources into the foundation of prosperity, but this requires internal will—from leaders, businesses, and civil society—not external assistance.

| 18 | Zambia after the elections: victory, violence, and questions to the government
The Zambian elections on August 13 resulted in the re-election of President Hakainde Hichilema with over 60% of the vote, according to the Zambian Electoral Commission. However, the campaign was marred by violence, allegations of irregularities, and suspension of vote counting across the country. On the program Global Insights, GlobUs experts analyzed the reasons behind these events.
Dr. Charles Sinkala described the elections as generally peaceful, and the opposition's accusations as a tactic to "play on emotions." However, his assessment differed from the testimony of journalists, international observers, and experts on air.
Journalist Arthur Davis Sikopo, who was in Zambia, confirmed that the campaign was not flawless. Two people were killed in political clashes in Kaputa and Southern Province. Opposition candidate Brian Mundubile has faced repeated police blockades, while more than 30 of his supporters have been arrested and remain in custody without charge.
"This raises serious questions about the level of the campaign field for all the candidates," Sikopo noted.
Security expert Dejan Milutinović representing the Swiss NGO Ruggero Round Table warned of the risk of escalation:
"The main threat is the escalation of discontent into street protests and counter-violence. The police must act impartially, otherwise trust in institutions will be lost. International organizations should pay close attention to the events surrounding this year's elections."
The suspension of the vote count following ballot thefts and attacks on polling stations was particularly concerning. This was unprecedented for Zambia.
Experts agreed that, amid disinformation and political polarization, it will be difficult for the new government to restore trust in institutions and the legitimacy of its mandate. If the policy of suppressing dissent continues, Zambia risks losing not only its economic potential but also the achievements of previous decades.

The meeting took place in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Guests fondly reminisced about their years of study at Russian universities, sharing personal stories and professional experiences.
The main event of the event was the founding of the League of Russian University Alumni in Zimbabwe. The new organization aims to maintain strong ties between former students and promote the further development of humanitarian and business cooperation between the two countries.
"We know very well that many of you studied in Russia or the Soviet Union, speak Russian, remember our songs, our holidays, and our traditions. For us, you are more than just partners. You are the living threads that bind our countries together. Believe me, we are deeply honored that our visit began with a meeting with you," noted Alexander Chinaryov, a representative of the GlobUs association.
The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative gifts. Each guest received souvenirs from Russia, which will serve as a warm reminder of the celebration and the beginning of a new chapter in the history of relations between Russia and Zimbabwe.
