    From the article, they are mentioning the Northern countries of India and Bangladesh and the equatorial country of the Congo (DRC)

    I expected a bit more Argentina, South Africa and Australia if we’re gonna be talking about the south.

    But I guess they mean the third world countries, but that headline has been repeated too much already. And someone harked back to the cold war period and discovered global south used to be a synonym for the third world. (Because the third world had a lower average latitude than the first and second world).
