UN, NATO, AUKUS, Indo-Pacific will stop all evil axis."
========================== Not sure about AUKUS and Indo-Pacific roles.
But UN and NATO are jokers. UN have failed to solve any warring issues except in Timor Leste NATO, well, it has been a little more than a year, it doesn't seem to want to end the Russo-Ukro war.

From 1960s to 2023, Africa notionally gained independence but in reality still in the York of the Imperialists .... They had no real alternatives
Now China offers real alternatives to Africa and Latin America....China has the cash the expertise the experience the history to offer real independence from imperialists... unconditional assistance , collaborations, win win, long term financing, infrastructures, dignity, self help, Chinese market, ...China helps make their dreams come true
Through its unique capacities as the world’s premiere vehicle for international cooperation, the UN system plays a crucial role in coordinating assistance of all kinds — to help Africa help itself. From promoting the development of democratic institutions, to establishing peace between warring nations, the UN is present on the ground supporting economic and social development and the promotion and protection of human rights.
In this effort, the UN works closely with Africa’s regional cooperation mechanisms and has six active peacekeeping operations at present. UN peacekeepers serve in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Mali, Western Sahara, South Sudan and Sudan - one mission in Darfur (with the African Union) and one in the disputed Abyei area.
To advance its support for Africa even further, the United Nations Office of the Special Adviser on Africa was established in 2003 to enhance international support for African development and security and to improve coordination of UN system support. It also works to facilitate global deliberations on Africa, particularly with respect to the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) — a strategic framework adopted by African leaders in 2001. In 2019, NEPAD's mandate was reformed. It is now serving as the first development agency of the African Union.
Africa is with UN, no evil axis could break their alliance.

Russia will be part of Brics+ and will be ok with enough market.
over next 10 years, China put in lots of time and money to expand Brics+, develop Brics+, deepen Brics+ co opration. Brics+ is China's best hope to counter attack America, contain America, control , dilute American hegemony. ...and keep the peace.

The Russian invasion changed everything. All of a sudden, it was clear the best-case scenario was no longer possible—and after years of keeping the NATO option in its back pocket, Finland was ready to whip it out. Practically overnight, public opinion swung massively in favor of joining NATO, and top Finnish politicians from nearly all the country’s political parties got on board: A poll conducted by Finnish broadcaster Yle last May found that three-quarters of Finns wanted their country to join NATO, up from less than one-third in previous years.“Finland would not have joined NATO if it were not for [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and Putin’s attack,” said Alexander Stubb, the former Finnish prime minister and finance minister. “This turned the opinion polls around not overnight, but over three nights, and the reason for that was obviously to a certain extent fear, but also realism: That if Putin can slaughter innocent Ukrainians like that, there’s nothing that will stop him from doing the same in Finland.”
