Afghanistan Problem

Afghanistan is still bleeding and a neogotiated settlement is must to avoid another bloody civil war to get control of Kabul.

The negotiated settlement should have been part of Doha negotiation but unfortunately it was not done.Feeling truimphant Afghan Taliban are now trying to capture as much ground as much possible and even seize Kabul if they can.

History shows that no group can unilaterly control Kabul and different ethno-political group must be taken on board for an iterm set up.

What is the solution?

On paper the solution is very simple.All Afghan groups should sit down on negotiation table and reach out some kind of interim arrangement with gaurantees from international commmunity especially from regional powers like Russia.China.Pakistan.Iran and Turkey.

The interim government shold immedoately start work on some kind of new constitutional arrangement and ultimately transfer power to a popularly elected government within a span of two years or even more as the circumstances semand.

Peace in Afghanistan is central to peace in the whole region.

During the interim period international community should come out with a mega reconstruction plan to provide health and

educational facilities and physical infrastructure.

Job intensive projects may be initiated to to to improve living stamdards of families.

Interest free loans for youth to start some kind of small business for youth both boys and girls alongwith necessary technical support.

Afghan people need a moderen Islamic welfare and democratic state.

It is high time that Afghan leadership should demonstrate political will and determination for a durable peace in Afghanistan.

Remembering victims of second World War by UN

8 May 2021 Peace and Security The Second World War had a profound impact on the international community, and established the conditions for the creation of the United Nations. This weekend marks the official remembrance of the tens of millions of civilians and soldiers who died during the conflict. In total, about 40 million civilians, and some 20 million soldiers, lost their lives in the war between 1939 and 1945. On 8 and 9 May, the UN invites its 193 member countries, non-governmental organizations, and individuals, to pay tribute to the victims of the conflict. The date of 8 May was chosen because it is the day the Nazi forces in Germany surrendered in 1945 but, recognizing that UN member states may have their own memorable days associated with the victory over fascism, the General Assembly invited all countries, UN organizations, non-governmental organizations and individuals to celebrate either 8 May, 9 May, or both of these days annually as a tribute to all victims of the Sec...

The DESA briefing finds that millions of workers are at risk of losing their jobs as nearly 100 countries close their national borders. That could translate to a global economic contraction of 0.9 per cent by the end of 2020, or even higher if governments fail to provide income support and help boost consumer spending. Str...
