Today Concerns

African nations like Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda, and Sudan, in most recent years have seen systemic violence and corruption in politics and among armed forces.   A strong reason for the imbalance in these regimes has been the cost price from colonialist times.   However mediators and peacemakers have assisted and persisted in developing the ideologies of a political system which is fully representative.   The UN and USA have been a strong force in this peacemaking.   For democracies to maintain and sustain a fully representative governing body there must also be socio-economic cohesion.   A lot of strife and conflict in African nations have been due to minority groups of rebels making their own law and way to live, since it is thought, there is and has been no law and order for so long.   However this must change, for the better.   More hearts and minds for African nations in conflict are seeing and searching for better truths and solutions to violent spurges.    A key component

Following on the President of United States of America's speech given in the wake of the mass shooting at Oregon Community College, it is time for law to evolve and adapt to our needs and our basic right to live. If there is law clearly allowing the wrong people to follow-through with acts of domestic terror this should be identified by the majority of the people in a country. Education is the victim, as well as students, and this has been around for decades.  Children and youths are subjected to violence on all levels, such as rape, assault and even gun crime in places of education, like university campuses and schools.    The appreciation for education and its students must be understood and protected by local civilians and local governing bodies. Otherwise these crimes will continue and people's education will be plagued by horrors. Violence in any form, sexual or physical is abhorrent. The idea of education is for young questioning minds and bodies to flourish a

The plight of the Syrian people is dark.  There has been so much upheaval of the basic rights for citizens of the country. Kurdish people, Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, and Turkmens have all been displaced from their home territories.  Hope is ablaze amidst their turbulent time, now and ahead, and many prayers and voices for peace are with them at this minute.  Troops who are looking after their transport, food, and shelter, should be understanding of their plight. They have undergone a huge journey of escape from their torture bearers ISIL and they have seen Allah's/God's guiding light leading them out of harm from their troubled land. Their illustrious understanding of Allah/God has provided them the opportunity to survive with the optimism they can one day return to their land where beauty remains and where they are confident peace can be restored. Their natural migration over to UK and the rest of Europe because of the trouble times in Syria has given

Mangala gave an amazing repertoire in his UNHRC speech today.  I think it is the right move forward in the proper direction for the nation - the open and honest truth about our current situation and our own objectives, as a united country building itself for peaceful sustainability.  As for tomorrow's debate, I personally believe there is not much debate about the corrective methods which are being thrusted by the Sri Lankan government.  I see the country's persecuted Thamil people reviving their spirits and strengths and sense of trust for unity with the rest of the Sri Lankan national community.  The government has taken shape in its aims to solve the disasters of its people and has shown its intention to meet the true desires of justice for all people, which includes Thamil people, Singhalese people, Moor people, and Burgher people.     The disasters of the conflict have shown human rights abuses were a product of war and victims have been on all sides, thoug

In Sri Lanka 8 January 2015 election results showed Maithripala Sirisena, had won 51.3% of the vote in Sri Lanka.   This is a massive turning point in Sri Lankan politics and a great development for Sri Lankan democracy.   The continuous outcry against nepotism and band politics and undemocratic political decisions, have led to a large voters turn out and the people of the country making their voices heard.   The cogs of change have turned and elected a new person more suited to the country’s future leadership.   The former president Mahinda Rajapakse has made a powerful improvement in the country, particularly in growing its infrastructure but his power in government was called into question. The redeeming light of exemplary democracy has shone through in Sri Lankan politics, as candidates were decided, voters voted, and the majority vote elected the new president, without the upset of a government coup .   The country has taken the first step in the long walk to achieving long-l

In the wake of the Paris atrocities we should mourn for the dead, and the tragic events which took place, not just in Paris but also in, Yemen, Nigeria, and Pakistan. People march today against hardened criminals, supposedly acting in the name of Allah.   The truth to their reason is a mask or guise, using religion as a vehicle to give their terrorism movement, shifting their clear-cut criminality into something seemingly more significant, perhaps even religious or political.  This consequently could create appeal.    It actually creates religious and social discord, because it acts as a catalyst for the emergence of prejudices, fueling attitudes for terrorism and the desire for anarchy.    Even though there was organisation behind the tragic events which took place, they are still in fact, acts of weak-minded individuals, lacking in an understanding of human love and compassion, because their killings of innocent and vulnerable civilians, display murderous animosity towards
