Many people from LATAM don't usually like this term and unfortunately these
people are not with us during the Tor meetings. Personally I have been
questioned about the name 'global-south' in Chile, Argentina and various regions
in Brazil. For anyone interest in the topic, some basic info on why this term is
not ideal to many people:

Doesn't the term 'global south' being discussed in every meeting justifies the
significant importance of this issue, otherwise would it be a thing to discuss?
