 <p>The BRICS alliance invited six new countries to join the bloc after the 15th summit in Johannesburg last year. Out of the six countries, the UAE, Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia accepted the invitation and are now part of BRICS. However, Argentina was the first country to decline BRICS membership and Saudi Arabia is yet to confirm its position. Experts suggest that BRICS played a power play move by inducting Ethiopia, which is a growing economy in Africa.</p>

 <p>Geopolitical experts told Jeune Afrique Magazine that the World Bank failed to provide adequate financial assistance and attention to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Africa" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/africa.html">Africa</a>. The World Bank’s insufficient contribution towards <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Africa" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/africa.html">Africa</a> could be a cause for them to accept the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="BRICS" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/brics.html">BRICS</a> idea of de-dollarization.

 <p>The first call in Africa against the US dollar and in support of BRICS came from Kenyan President William Ruto. He called for Africa to trade in local currencies and ditch the US dollar, copying the BRICS style of functionality. The President stressed that Africa needs to stand on its own and not depend on other currencies. Ruto’s speech about Africa ending reliance on the US dollar was met with a standing ovation from the country’s lawmakers.</p>
