For the first time the G20 will be held on African soil. This is more than symbolic. As our discussion paper to the G20 lays out, this is a historic opportunity to confront global asymmetries and place the voices and priorities of the Global South at the centre.

The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.
At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."
