Friday, November 17, 2023, 08:11 (GMT+7)
The two overthrows in Niger and Gabon also continued a dangerous wave of coups in Africa with many serious consequences. First of all, mutinies have weakened democratic institutions on the continent. Many civilian governments, including many elected leaders, have been overthrown by military forces, leading to political and social unrest. Coups also erode people's trust in institutions leading to increased conflict and violence, especially between groups supporting and opposing the interim government. This further complicates the already weak security situation and deepens divisions in the society.

National harmony is a legitimate aspiration of most of Vietnamese people at home and abroad and the mainstream to wash away hatred in the past.

Europe on the US’s geopolitical chessboard

Friday, April 21, 2023, 07:15 (GMT+7)
The US has always considered Europe a key factor in its foreign policy, therefore it uses NATO as a tool to maintain its influence and protect its national interests. Hence, if the EU succeeds in forming a full-fledged and united army of its own, it is very likely that its members will consider dismantling NATO bases in their territory and withdrawing from the Pact. At the same time, this will neutralise the NATO leverage as the EU becomes more independent and free from the US’s influence.
