Key commentary by Amar Abdel Rahman

Amar Abdel Rahman (journalist/political analyst) argues that BRICS should offer alternatives to the current global system:

Need for alternatives to the current world order: Abdel Rahman says the world is in repeated crises and argues BRICS should provide an alternative economic framework to Western “domination strategies,” particularly those linked to the U.S. dollar and Western policy conditionality.
Dollar-focused economic independence: He claims the dollar’s dominance undermines sovereignty and presents BRICS as a pathway toward currency alternatives—including “substitute” international currencies and mechanisms that could replace or reduce reliance on the IMF’s terms.
Egypt’s potential benefits through BRICS cooperation: He highlights opportunities for Egypt through investment and cooperation with BRICS members, especially Russia and China, citing existing and upcoming strategic projects, including those linked to nuclear infrastructure.
Egypt’s regional role: Abdel Rahman emphasizes that Egypt is essential to BRICS’s relevance in the Middle East and Africa—describing Egypt as a “gate” to the region—and stresses Egypt’s balanced foreign policy with both East and West.
Most attractive investment sectors for Egypt: He points to agriculture and industrial cooperation as the top sectors likely to attract investment.
What BRICS expansion means for global power: He frames expansion as part of a long-term “economic struggle” to defend sovereignty, adding that it likely will not happen easily because other powers will resist.
Local currency trade and strategic economic leverage: He argues Egypt should use BRICS membership to expand broader use of local currencies in trade, linking this to greater economic benefit from Suez Canal earnings as a counter to domination by a single currency.
Regional security and maritime routes: He suggests BRICS relationships could support peace and prosperity, contrasting this with destabilizing or war-driven approaches attributed to other powers.
Position on reforms in global governance: Abdel Rahman claims global tensions are shaped by surveillance and dominance of existing “world order” institutions, and argues for “substitute” or parallel systems—organizations and currencies that preserve national identities and sovereignty rather than enforcing one uniform model.
