By Ahmad Shahzad OBE:
China and Russia must take urgent and decisive steps to prevent the United States from acting unilaterally in ways that threaten global peace, stability, and humanity.
Ahmad Shahzad OBE, Founder and Former Chairman of BAME Labour, has strongly commended Prime Minister Keir Starmer for refusing to support what he described as illegal military action against Iran.
President Donald Trump appears to be driven by deep-seated hostility towards Muslims and an approach shaped by his background in real estate one that prioritises destruction followed by reconstruction for gain. This dangerous mindset reflects outdated and exploitative practices reminiscent of colonial history.
He must recognise that the world has changed. This is 2026 — an era defined by rising global awareness, justice, and accountability.
As Commander-in-Chief, he wields extraordinary power unmatched by most nations. However, the United States has long claimed to stand as a defender of human rights, freedom, and democracy. Recent actions raise serious concerns about whether those principles are being upheld or abandoned.
The world cannot remain silent. Global powers must act responsibly and collectively to prevent reckless decisions that could endanger humanity and destabilise our shared beautiful world.
