<p>Third world countries need to unite and fight against first world
injustices, disrespect for international law, discrimination and
wars. The third world countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America
should form an alliance in order to “end imperialist domination,”
according to the Venezuelan vice-president, Jorge Arreaza. <br>
<br>
Arreaza made the proposal for a third world alliance during a
speech at the Asia-Africa Summit in Indonesia Saturday. Speaking
as a special Latin American representative, Arreasa told the
audience that the alliance was necessary to overthrow imperialism
and end the unipolar system imposed on southern nations throughout
the years. <br>
<br>
“The alliance between Asia, Africa and Latin America today is not
only necessary, it is indispensable,” said Arreaza. “From the
South, we will determine, freely, the future of the world for the
people.” <br>
<br>
The vice president also reminded the audience that former
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez also advocated strongly for a
need for the three continents to unite in order to fight against
harmful western policies and forms of control. <br>
<br>
“Today is not, as then, simply about not being aligned with power
and a sphere of influence. Today, the challenge is much greater...
That is, to not be aligned with injustice, ... and to fight
against wars, disrespect for international law, and to fight
against colonialism in all its forms, combat hunger, to not be
aligned with discrimination nor domination in all its forms,” said
Arreaza. <br>
<br>
As an example of third world unity, Arreaza reiterated Venezuela's
solidarity with Palestine, which has experienced significant
oppression under Israel's expansionist policies.</p>
