Portugal’s Tackling Of Drugs: Addicts Humanised Instead Of Criminalised

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 20, 20220

Combating drug addiction has always been an issue for nations as drugs keep pouring in through cartels that target wealthy countries where the populace wants to indulge and governments that have economic downtrodden where the citizens want to forget about the squalor that is their lives. At any rate, it has led to violence, cartels gaining power and influence, death due to overdoses and complications faced by drug users in regards to their relationship, effects that drugs have on their bodies and withdrawals of not taking drugs when they try to get away from the grasp of addiction. This 'War On Drugs' popularised in the U.S. has led to many nations cracking down on suppliers and drug users alike. Like The Philippines, where the police force, when suspecting or catching someone smocking ...

Poverty In Philippines: Filipino Infants Get Exchanged For Money

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 20, 20220

The pandemic’s aftermath has wreaked havoc or at least left an indelible on every nation in the world. From Sri Lanka’s economic collapse due to the demise of its tourism industry to a little chink in the Kiwi’s economy. It will take quite a while before nations reach the same stature and go back to the same status quo as they were before Covid-19 and rebuild themselves to their full strength. The Philippines is no exception, but the rampant poverty inflicted by the aftermath of the contagious virus and corruption in the nation ever-present has forced its natives to open up a market for buying and selling their infants on Facebook. The Philippines has one of the highest rates in Asia, and by 2020 around 1.53 million infants will be brought into the world. Still, it also could be beca...

London’s Lavish Life Levied As Dirty Russian Money Flows In Thames

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 19, 20220

London is arguably the ethereal realm for the most exquisite prime real estate. Garnished with the world's best brands in automobile, clothing and most delicate restaurant for the palates laced with Gold, it is a prime destination for the comfortably affluent worldwide. This may also include the oligarchs of Russia who stash their cash deep in London, where it remains safe. Britain was one of the first nations to sanction Russia in an attempt to handicap the nation; however, economically, this sincere motive turns duplicitous as Ruble's worth of cash is protected by the U.K. This has been taking place long before the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out with a Home office report finding a significant volume of Russian, or Russian-linked illicit finance channelled through the U.K...

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 18, 20220

Terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda and Taliban are recognized as fundamentalist groups that take haven in Islamic states like Pakistan, Afghanistan or middle eastern regions. Their methods involve bombastic attempts and harrowing messages to let the world know their presence, motive and strength to do ‘Jihaad’(holy war). However, until recently, because of their secretive ways, the Fethullah Terrorist Organisation(F.E.T.O.) has crept its root deep into the Türkish government and around the globe in an on par terror inducing way if not more than the infamous terrorist organizations we know.

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 18, 20220

Colombia historically struggled to control the country's supply and trafficking of drugs. Popularised by the Netflix series, the drug market and production boomed with comfort until America came to the forefront of the action and branded itself as fighting a war with drugs. With the help of the Columbian government, the trafficking of Cocaine in Columbia was suppressed.

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 16, 20220

Since 9/11, the US has been a fervent warrior against terrorism, especially against fundamentalist groups like Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. George W. Bush heralded the global war on terror. Hence in October 2001, Afghanistan was invaded to hunt down the terrorist groups hiding in the region.

Eventually, the US decided to create a jail for thee prosecuted individuals, and in Januar...

‘The Show Must Go On’ Says China As Sri Lanka Engulfs In Political Anarchy

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 16, 20220

As many have quoted, the Chinese' debt trap' may have led to China axing their leg as Sri Lanka collapses and gets quagmired in political and economic free fall. The Rajapaksa brotherhood that ran the country Gotabaya and Mahindra Rajapaksa, subsequent former president and later prime minister, have backed multiple projects by China for the last two decades like the Lotus tower, for example. China has also commanded some Hambantota ports for almost a century. China's main interest is to undermine and control strategic locations in Asia to undermine India and any Western allies in the region. Using an island nation on the coast of their belligerent gives China more autonomy over the area. However, the effect and tensions of these moves seem to unfurl with the Rajapaksa brotherhood ma...

Challenges Of Pensioners In Germany: A Tale Of Two Ages

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 16, 20220

Germany is the most prosperous country in the EU, known for its efficient working class and job opportunities for students. It is a haven for young and talented individuals to harbour their ideas, inventions and developments. But this dream is a nightmare for Germans who, with age, grow weary and naturally become unable to support the economy. The retired German struggles to make ends meet as they are cast off financially like dried-out branches, living on the outskirts of the major cities with no sense of dignity when they pick up bottles to get paid a few cents if they are lucky. N.G.O. organisations and other charitable support groups are their only source for getting aid. The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs reported that 48% of German retirees, i.e. more than 8....

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 15, 20220

American handling some or mishandling by others of the terrorist-ridden state of Afghanistan saw America removing American troops leaving the Afghan forces at their own devices, and informally ending the Afghan. Campaign after more than 20 years of conflict made Afghanistan the most protracted battle in which the U.S.A. has been involved. Many experts have pointed out religion, race and other factors benefitting their terrorist nemesis Taliban and their use of Guerrilla warfare to force the U.S. leaving the region. However, one overlooked factor that deadlocked Americans from stabilising Afghanistan was the opium poppy. After a four-year brutal conflict with the Soviet Union in 1979 led to the decimation of 10% of Afghanistan's population. During the battle, the resistance groups called...

Drugs, Blood Flow Go Hand In Hand In Streets Of Amsterdam

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 13, 20220

Often when one mentions drug cartels, the Columbian drug cartel popularised by Netflix comes to mind. A trade route involving shipment by plane from the tiny nation of Columbia, which transports drugs from Mexico to its target customers in the US. However, the flow of drugs and narcotic shipments en masse doesn’t limit the American continent, especially after heavy crackdowns that have swept the region’s powerful cartels. Drug cartels based in  Morocco’s clientele are in the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands has banned the consumption and possession of drugs, it still is quite lenient in its prosecutions and fines involving drugs. This makes the Netherlands a haven from where not only domestic but the drug trade all over Europe berths into the European continent. Netherlands’s essen...

Middle Eastern Differences Begin To Shudder And Fall: Is Arabian NATO A Possibility Soon?

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 12, 20220

West Asia, usually referred to as the middle east by the western gazettes, is generally viewed as a place of civil unrest and pandemonium with factions warring against each other either cold, proxy, or head-on. Further, it is perceived as the home to terrorism mixed with Islamist and conservation fervour, which usually end nation and states failing, governments falling and displaced citizens and refugees that rush to EU/neighbouring nations. Regardless of the thought has some truth, the twenty-two Arab nations, 400 million strong, follow the same religion, albeit with different sects and beliefs. Though many of them are pitted against each other, now it's always wasn't the case. A movement of united Arabs called Pan-Arabism in the 1960s focused on integrating the Arab nation politically...
