Fetullah Terrorist Organisation: Story Of ISIS In Hiding

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. The organization’s head is identified as Fatullah Gulen, who was a Pennsylvania-based leader of a cult 60s. Active since the 1960s, he first commenced the growth of his terror organization as a...

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. However, a new pink terror has taken over the youth, discos, and nightlife and has started to trend in Colombia. This drug is called ''Tucibi''/''Tuci''. The original drug called Tucibi has been Latinised from the chemical name 2C-B, first synthesised by Alexander Shulgin in 1974 in California. A part of the 2C families of hallucinogenic phenethylamines affected both the euphoric M.D.M.A. and L.S.D.'s visual distorti...

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. The US also enlisted local help with bounties and rewards for capturing or reporting terrorist targets or individuals connected with the terrorist groups. Therefore this led to Afghans and Pakistanis turning over many individuals and reporting them as terrorists with little to no evidence. Temporarily, the US had set up many sites in Romania, Poland, Lithuania, and Thailand called Bald sites for imprisoning them. 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....

Opium Production In Afghanistan: US’s Lost War Because Of Drugs In Afghanistan

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...

Deal Or Dialogue: Democracy Is On The Verge Of Collapsing, Who Is To Blame In Politics?

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 11, 20220

Defections from Maha Vikas Aghadi or the Great Development Front coalition government have been widely seen as a sign of self-interest by those who defected from them. It has always been difficult to determine who is to blame in politics based on the diversity of group/sectional interests. The solution to this critical issue may be summarised thusly: Both of them are to blame. However, their flaws vary in kind. There's an ethical obligation on major political parties, for example, to align their policies with constitutional ideals, party programmes, and the backing of smaller political groupings. In order to improve the country's image abroad, it is incumbent upon a party with significant numbers and financial clout to put together a government that adheres to fundamental democratic ideals...

Chaos Cultivates As EU Gets Burnt In Fiery Dutch Farmer Protests

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 11, 20220

Dutch farmers have been protesting ever since the Netherlands, a member of the EU, has consented to its laws over the use of pollutants in EU countries. It was stated that the Netherlands had not complied with these 1991 accords and has been recently forced to slash on use of fertilisers which release greenhouse gases. Last month the Dutch cabinet announced a $22 Bn programme focusing on cutting nitrogen emissions down by 50% by the year 2020, with further requiring 70% or more reduction in emissions in some areas. This has indirectly affected the Dutch farmer because they are now required to reduce nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions released by livestock production by 40%. This will cause many to downsize their farms. The policy did not sit well with the farmers and let them prote...

In the wildfire due to the scandals in recent months that have spread across the entirety of The British Parliament, Prime minister Boris Johnson steps down from his post on 7th July 2022. He addressed a crowd gathered in front of Downing Street who expressed his regret in giving up the “best job in the world” and that “It is the will of the parliamentary Conservative party that there should be a new leader of that party, and therefore a new prime minister,”.
