The South African authorities had issued an official request for President Vladimir Putin not to attend the event, and instead to send his Prime Minister Sergei Lavrov, but Moscow rejected this request.<\/p>\n<p>The basis for this request is an International Criminal Court indictment against Putin for the illegal deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia, as part of a mutiny by the Wagner mercenary group. Russia had justified this action by claiming that these children were in danger in the Russian-speaking region of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #dd3333;color:#dd3333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/en\/diplomatic-tensions-between-russia-and-south-africa-ahead-of-brics-summit\/#South_Africa_faces_a_dilemma\" >South Africa faces a dilemma<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/en\/diplomatic-tensions-between-russia-and-south-africa-ahead-of-brics-summit\/#Vladimir_Putin_in_a_wave_of_defiance\" >Vladimir Putin in a wave of defiance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/en\/diplomatic-tensions-between-russia-and-south-africa-ahead-of-brics-summit\/#Complex_geopolitical_issues_the_importance_of_making_well-considered_decisions\" >Complex geopolitical issues: the importance of making well-considered decisions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/en\/diplomatic-tensions-between-russia-and-south-africa-ahead-of-brics-summit\/#Totally_inspired_by_Zack_Mwekassas_video\" >Totally inspired by Zack Mwekassa&#8217;s video<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"South_Africa_faces_a_dilemma\"><\/span>South Africa faces a dilemma<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2071\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2071\" style=\"width: 281px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2071\" src=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/telechargement-54.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"180\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>South African President Cyril Ramaphosa faces a decisive choice<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Faced with this delicate situation, South Africa, as a signatory to the Rome Statute, is obliged to arrest Putin if he sets foot on its territory. However, the country faces a dilemma, as it does not wish to risk a declaration of war with Russia by arresting its president. The so-called &#8220;DA&#8221; political party advocated Putin&#8217;s arrest, being mainly made up of white members with ties to the West.<\/p>\n<p>South Africa has also come under pressure from certain Western countries. Accusations have been made that Russian arms were supplied through a ship stationed in Simon&#8217;s Town, and the country has been threatened with exclusion from the AGOA program, which offers trade benefits to African countries. In Denmark, for example, a shipment of fruit from South Africa was blocked on the pretext of contamination by a virus. This has disastrous economic consequences for the country, as the AGOA program provides jobs for up to 60,000 South Africans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>A Lire: <a href=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/le-president-sud-africain-refuse-darreter-poutine-tensions-autour-de-la-cour-penale-internationale\/\">South African President refuses to arrest Putin: Tensions surrounding the International Criminal Court<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vladimir_Putin_in_a_wave_of_defiance\"><\/span>Vladimir Putin in a wave of defiance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2073\" style=\"width: 275px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2073\" src=\"https:\/\/zackmwekassa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/telechargement-56.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"183\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Putin wants to challenge the West<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Putin&#8217;s presence at the BRICS summit therefore remains uncertain, but Russia seems determined to include him despite South Africa&#8217;s demands. This situation raises questions about Russia&#8217;s diplomatic attitude and the balance of international relations between the BRICS countries. Russian President Vladimir Putin seems intent on defying the Western nations who want nothing more than to see him arrested.<\/p>\n<p>Some observers are wondering whether Russia&#8217;s defiance is justified, or whether the country should instead opt for a more conciliatory approach. It also raises questions about the impact this situation could have on South Africa&#8217;s stability and on international relations as a whole. It&#8217;s clear that South Africa has no desire to arrest Vladimir Putin. However, it is looking for diplomatic strategies to justify itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complex_geopolitical_issues_the_importance_of_making_well-considered_decisions\"><\/span>Complex geopolitical issues: the importance of making well-considered decisions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The stakes involved in the BRICS summit are high, particularly as regards the creation of a common currency to counter the supremacy of the dollar.
