Social Comment: This appeal of Gutres, the United States can no longer be perfunctory
Author:Global Times Time:2022.08.25
Since the beginning of this year, the United Nations has repeatedly stimulated alarm on the global grain crisis. On August 20, UN Secretary -General Guterres once again emphasized that Russian fertilizer and agricultural products must "smoothly" enter the world market, otherwise next year " There may not be enough food. " This is a major appeal to the Secretary -General of the United Nations on the highest position of protecting the global common interests and preventing the humanitarian crisis, and to the international community. It should get positive response and strong support from relevant countries.
UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutres
Getres said these words. At present, Russian fertilizer and agricultural products have entered the world market, and which link is not the secret of which links are the main stuck. Although the US Western countries have not included Russian fertilizer and agricultural products on the sanctions list, even Getres has made it clear that the exports of these products are still affected by the "cold cicada effect". The reality is indeed that most international traders are afraid to buy because they are afraid of the US and European sanctions.
On the other hand, although the West has canceled financial restrictions on exports to Russia and fertilizers, the issue of freight restrictions has not been resolved. Russian vessels were banned from going to important ports such as the Mediterranean, and foreign ships were also banned from going to Russian ports to extract food and other goods. In other words, even if someone dares to buy it, these goods are either difficult to ship or need to bear high freight.
It can be seen that the US sanctions against Russia in the United States have actually created a strong horror atmosphere, and the normal and even righteous agricultural trade trade has been strongly disturbed and destroyed. Regardless of how many reasons for the US sanctions on the US sanctions, the severe consequences of the western are more and more presented. Not only the grain problems, many hegemonicism and political acts that started in Washington have been around a large circle. In the end, they often lead to people's livelihood difficulties or even disasters in some developing countries. In the final analysis, after all, the poor and the poor bear everything.
In addition, on one side is the scene where the poor people are hungry and hungry, but the other side is the feast of Wall Street and Grand Fair. Four companies, known as the "Four Grain Merchants", control 75 % to 90 % of the world's grain transactions, three of which are American companies. According to US media reports, the rise in grain prices has soared that the US food giants have soared. Among them, three of the Cargi family have been selected as the richest list of the world's richest people in the world selected by Bloomberg. Bangji Company has increased the profit expectations of this year by more than 20%. For the United States, which provides unjust money to the war of other countries, food has also become a bargaining chip for its "rich game".
In May this year, the United Nations World Food Program issued a warning that humans may face "the largest grain crisis after World War II", and 1.7 billion people will face hunger. As negative factors such as the new crown epidemic are still fermenting, the extreme drought weather in the northern hemisphere will currently form a new blow to global grain production. Compared with these difficult "natural disasters", a real "green channel" is opened to the agricultural products and chemical fertilizers exported to Russia. Obviously, the cost is the smallest and easiest to achieve, and the effect will be immediate. This is also eagerly looking forward to many agricultural producers in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America.
Gutres revealed that the United Nations is cooperating with the United States and the European Union to overcome the obstacles to overcoming Russian food and fertilizers into the world market. As the Secretary -General of the United Nations, his words can only be mentioned. But everyone understands whether the world can avoid the food crisis next year, which depends largely on the degree of coordination of the United States and the European Union for the United Nations coordinated coordination. The international community cannot send the initiative to improve the consciousness in the West by the United States. It is necessary to continuously increase public opinion and moral pressure, and urge them to perform international obligations and duties without discounting.
The third world has always criticized the US and Western sanctions on the United States to exacerbate the global food crisis. In this regard, the United States has made various arguments, claiming that he "has no interest in weapons of grain and sacrifice the interests of disadvantaged groups to create a humanitarian crisis." A month ago, the United States also faked a fake demonstration performance to buy Russia's fertilizer, but it still has to worry about the United Nations Secretary -General, indicating that the problem has not been relieved, and it also shows that the United States lacks sincerity and execution.
August 19th is World Humanitarian Day. Gutres also issued a special appeal to rich countries, hoping that they would open their wallets and hearts to help those who are the first in the global grain crisis. Next, it depends on the actual actions of these countries. The eyes of the international community are clear.
