Shaaban: The West only promoted democracy, which is mentioned in its dictionaries and has become a cover for its wars and control
Special Adviser to the Presidency of the Republic Buthaina Shaaban said that Western countries have promoted for decades the democracy mentioned in their dictionaries only, while this democracy has become a cover for the wars of those countries and their control over separate parts of the world.
During her speech before the High-Level Forum on Global Human Rights Governance virtually held in China, Dr. Shaaban explained
that the West created after World War II the idea that it was the only force that eliminated Nazism, ignoring the role of the Soviet Union at that time, which sacrificed more than 20 million people.
Dr. Shaaban pointed out that the Western media tried to show Western countries as the only ones concerned with freedom, democracy and human rights.
Dr. Shaaban said: “Since Britain and France are the colonial powers and also the United States, which was and still is the largest military power, it is easy for them to market their concepts into the minds of millions of people.”
Dr. Shaaban pointed out that the West, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the US control of the world militarily, morally and intellectually, promoted democracy mentioned only in its dictionaries, as that democracy became a cover for the West’s wars and control, and that any other governance of this concept has no importance.
Dr. Shaaban said: “With the advent of the twenty-first century, things began to change slowly but surely, for two reasons. The first is that America’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and then the destruction of Libya by NATO, and the support for the Israeli occupation policy against the Palestinian people, made people think about the reality of what the West is doing. The second reason is the rise of China and the alternative discourse of Russia that began to appear, especially after the Russian special operation in Ukraine, and after the emergence of the BRICS group and the Shanghai Organization.”
Dr. Shaaban explained that the Chinese president presented an interactive speech that supports democracy and human rights, which are the core of the cultural, historical and civilizational content, and which contradict liberal democracy. By doing this, the Chinese president weakened the concepts of liberal democracy, or at least proved that one measure does not fit all.
Dr. Shaaban pointed out that the West began to take a very aggressive and dangerous step to restore its hegemony over the world, by trying to change humanity, under the pretext of human rights.
She said: “There is a fragile and weak social group exposed to Western aggression, which is the children’s category, and it is unable to make its decision, and children are victims of the West, and the introduction of curricula on sex starting from kindergarten to elementary school constitutes a major violation of the rights of children who must live their childhood.”
Dr. Shaaban stressed that the trend now in the West is more dangerous than all previous wars, because it targets humanity and is directed against a fragile and weak group.
Dr. Shaaban called for a collective stance to protect children from poisonous Western ideas.
