Game of THRONES

International Boundaries : Involved a callous attitude towards mankind

Dr. Asma Ali (Ecologist)

International borders are political boundaries to separate one Nation to another,  that outlines the area to a particular governing body to control,  create and enforce laws. These boundaries are usually created through legal treaties between government.

Scientifically it has been proven that  human is a collaboration of about 26 emotions which make them SURPASS. Unfortunately only a couples of emotions are ruling the world, that brings out the worst in a person. Greed, hate,  anger are most proliferated emotions, are eating up the world.

If we go through the world history,  we will find that people are struggling or fighting for their freedom since hundreds of years. They are fighting for their rights,  fighting for peace, for their existence and for a piece of land. There are about 195 countries in the world (excluding Taiwan), among them about 49 countries are still struggling for survival (few of them are partially free). People are being humiliated on the basis of culture, religion, caste, power, poverty and colour, that seems to be UNBRIDLED. If lawmakers want to evacuate these issues,  they can, but they want to keep these issues alive for their political benefits.

Cambodia, with a population of 15, 800,000 is fighting for their rights. Prime Minister Hun Sen and his Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has been ruling for more than three decades. Cambodian live in an environment of tight repression and fear. The Torture of suspect and prisoner is frequent. The security forces are using excessive force against protestors or suspects. In 2017 the government spoken openly that anti-government protests would not be tolerated.

The Hongkong demonstration against extradition bill began in March-April 2019 then escalated in June. Million people Marched in protest against Bill on 9th June and about 20,00,000 protesters joined together in August. Analysts generally believe that this extradition Bill was the initiative of Hongkong’s leader Carrie Lam who have been aiming to please the Chinese authorities and strengthen her position. Due to huge protest against bill on June 15 Carrie Lam announced the process of extradition Bill had been suspended. Hongkongers are on the street again (with few demands), facing tear gas from police and threats from Beijing.

Kashmir (Paradise on Earth), became a land of remote controlled killing, fighting for their rights . The number of civilians are killed by cross border firing. But we can't know for sure the actual figure of injuries as Administration and the mainstream media has been Virtually silent about the Civilian toll of the administration for foiled interventions. There are many grieving families whose losses have never been acknowledged.

Looking back at President Obama's legacy, the Council on Foreign Relations Micah Zenco opened up defence department’s data on air strikes in 2016 alone, the Obama administration dropped at least 26, 171 bombs, this means three bombs every hour, while most of these attacks were in Syria and Iraq. US bombs rained down on people of Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia (source : The Guardian).

“Don't dwell in the past, now came out of it, why to fear when you are facing it. It is inevitable”

Few days back I saw a video on social media, a group of white children was mocking constantly on two old age citizens of Africa (if my memory serves me well) and making fun of their appearance because of black skin.

Social media has become a vast platform to make oneself aware from what is happening to every corner of the world. Though it is good to know about your surroundings, on the other hand this kind of penetrating news prowled over your nervous system and get pounced on your face, and you found yourself helpless. Kop These news rip your head of your body and your body remain a torso. Our rights are eliminating and we are ACCLIMATISING ourself to accept the things as such. When you give your opinion on any incident that is happening around you,  you are forced to THROTTLE DOWN your actions or to get lid on your emotions.

“ No matter how much suffering you went through you never wanted to let go of those memories.”

The current century is a well equipped breed of community, who is materialistic (exceptions are everywhere), running behind the things, fighting for a piece of land and not worrying about the land which is in HANDY. Amazon rainforest proliferated about 5.5 million square kilometres and covering Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia,  Guyana, Suriname and France. In 2005 and 2010 Amazon was also experienced the worst drought, and this year (2019), the burning of this forest is contributing huge amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.lt is said that every single minute the fire is covering about 3 football grounds. The smoke will cause widespread health problems and will block the formation of rain clouds. Plant and animal communities of these affected area either die or will find a new forest to call their home. Still the administration is doing politics on this sensitive issue.

We have a list of hundreds of great people who spend their life for human welfare.  Unfortunately they were all from different backgrounds (my point stands, that we should not divide them on the basis of race). And they set an example of  togetherness, love, care and peace because wars,Hatters would not be a solution to any problem. What we have learnt in these years of fighting on so many fronts? Terrorism  has  spread,  no WARS have been WON and the major part of the world consumed by more chaos and  and divisions.

As an ecologist what I figured out that we should take care of our land and make Strategies for sustainable environment( environment refers to every living organism, including humans), instead of repression, domination and violation. Because planet Earth is the birthplace for every single human being and we are  a tiny molecule of this universe, no one has the right to dominate one another.
