A bit confused ‘bout the ‘war’ in the world

Since the regime change in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, I was closely watching whether it was all because of common people being treated as second-class citizens, or government-sponsored corruption was at its peak, or maybe it was an outsider’s job.

I am still confused about the recent turn of events in Nepal, where the pristine country is witnessing a coup over the issue of banning social media except TikTok.

Ukraine and Russia are still at loggerheads, and the nation’s having business deals with Russia are getting threats from none other than the USA itself.

Nothing is right between Israel and Palestine, and people are living in extremely inhumane conditions there.

The countries supporting Palestine are being targeted by Israel, and then the USA is supplying weapons to Israel instead of pacifying the situation.

The great UN is almost non-existent, and maybe I can say, they are totally ignored by the veto-powerful nations.

What’s worse than the world being at the mercy of three super-powerful countries, the USA, China, and Russia?

Amidst all the differences between the countries, there is also the age-old tug of war going on between India and Pakistan.

Say no to war

I delved into world history to uncover the key factors that have driven nations to war.

The first recorded war in history, which happened in 2700 BCE, was fought between the Elamites and the Sumerians. The Sumerians secured a decisive victory in this conflict, which was largely driven by the wealth and prosperity of the Elamites. This clash not only marked a significant moment in human history but also highlighted the competitive nature of emerging civilizations.

There have been many such wars in the world that were irrelevant and meaningless from every perspective. Despite suffering huge losses and destruction over many generations, humanity did not stop fighting. Even today, if we look, it seems that by repeating his most horrific mistakes, man is digging his own grave.

Throughout history, humans have demonstrated extraordinary adaptability to their surroundings, all while cultivating culture, civilization, and progress. This remarkable resilience highlights our relentless pursuit of growth and evolution.

However, over time, people began to forget the principles they had established for creating a beautiful and inclusive society.

Why so much commotion?

From East to West, North to South, wherever I researched for a peaceful nation, Google took me back to write about the commotion between all the listed nations on trivial issues.

The first recorded war in history was driven by jealousy over another side’s prosperity, a sentiment that still exists today despite our progress.

There are 195 countries in the world with their own territory, governance, and sovereignty, yet the world is in existential danger. 

On paper, all the listed nations are allies. In reality, many are at odds with each other, forming coalitions with like-minded countries to assert their dominance over other groups.

Situations are now becoming more worrisome, as politicians with power in their hands are taking everything for granted, whether it is their power, position, or privileges; they are few in number, yet they are privileged than all the other people.

What pitiful progress have we made, and how low have we fallen in the power struggle?

It is worse when these influential people buy the media or take it under their control. This gives them immediate benefit, but the common people’s voice dies untimely, and governance without a voice is like a blind well where you get water, but death also comes along with it.

How inhuman it feels when some big tragedy or accident takes place somewhere and the government forbids the media from showing it all; the common man dies without any reason, humanity also dies at the same juncture, and all that remains is cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity.

It is irrelevant to look for the kind of governance a nation has if it is unable to protect its legitimate citizens, safeguard their rights, value their presence, and ensure their rightful share in nation-building.  This is the failure that leads to its degradation, and such a downfall always leads to an uncalled unrest in the region.

The type of governance a nation has is irrelevant if it cannot protect its legitimate citizens, safeguard their rights, value their presence, and ensure they receive their rightful share in nation-building. Failure to do so will lead to degradation, which often results in unrest in the region.
