How violent conflicts threaten global stability

The most used data on violent conflicts was released last week by the Uppsala Conflict Data Programme for the year 2022. While the number of armed conflicts in which the state is a party had increased from 54 in 2021 to 55 in 2022, the number of deaths in these armed conflicts has almost doubled. In 2021, 120,000 people had died in armed conflicts, and in 2022, the number has reached 238,000. The world had not witnessed such deadliest conflicts it is witnessing now since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. A relatively peaceful lull prevailed in the world for the rest of the 1990s and the first decade of this century. That even prompted some to conclude only about a decade ago that the violence has declined and the world is becoming peaceful. The global security situation has continued to worsen for over a decade now. The Russia-Ukraine war in February 2022 has started a major interstate war after a gap of almost two decades since the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. Though the world is more focused on the war in Ukraine, the most deaths occurred last year in Tigray due to Ethiopia’s armed actions against Tigray People’s Liberation Front. Proxy wars were common during the Cold War years. That syndrome is back again as big and emerging powers directly engage in conflicts to pursue their strategic and regional interests. The conflicts are becoming more complex and resistant to resolution due to money, ideology, arms, and troops flowing from external sources. In many cases, old conflic...

Peace and conflict professor: Twitter is my platform to influence decision

Their tweets are only either about their own research or the research of scientists in their own field. Other scientists, sometimes more experienced ones, take a step further. They post about public issues based on their relevant expertise. In this way, a virologist might tweet about — say — vaccine policy. Ashok Swain was recently in Nikko, Japan.

Telangana: BJP councillor among 11 booked for assaulting family in Medak

Even though the incident took place on May 7, and the case was filed on the same day, it came to light after a video of the incident went viral on Twitter on Thursday. The video purportedly shows a group of saffron-clad men assaulting Md Imran, 31, his mother and sister, who later suffered a miscarriage. Police, however, refused to link the miscarriage with the assault case. Following the incident, Imran was arrested for assaulting one of the accused earlier that day. He was later released on bail and a case was filed against those who attacked him and his family. Twitter responds

Ashok Swain Sparks Outrage After Claiming Bengalis Speaking Hindi is an 'Insult'

Ashok Swain is drawing massive backlash on social media after a tweet that has been deemed offensive by many. Swain wrote on Twitter, “When Bengalis try to speak Hindi, it is an insult to everyone and everything!" The tweet invited a torrent of outrage; and debates on everything from nationalism, language, culture to pluralism were triggered across Twitter. While some Twitter users said that Bengalis speaking Hindi is an attempt to be inclusive which should not be disparaged, others said that there is no one perfect way to speak a language. There were more people who claimed there were double standards in the scenario, as when equal criticism is not often meted out to Hindi-speaking people attempting to speak Bengali.

This is why BLM is the most successful social movement of our time

It has not only brought several major changes in the US across law enforcement, public administration, school system, and entertainment but it has also arguably influenced the results of the election in several key states in the last Presidential election. The success of the movement can be seen from the US President-elect Joe Biden committing to select the most diverse cabinet to truly represent the multiracial United States. The BLM movement was born on July 13, 2013, when three African-American civil-right women activists created #BlackLivesMatter on Twitter to protest George Zimmerman’s acquittal in the shooting death of an unarmed African American teenager, Trayvon Martin. Hundreds of street protests in different cities in the US have taken place under the BLM banner since then. The election of Donald Trump as the US President in 2016 made this movement stronger. The movement reached its peak in Summer 2020 with the death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man being killed in police custody. As several polls suggest, about 15 million to 26 million people participated in June 2020 in the street protests in the US. Stats show that nearly 1000 civilians get killed each year by American law enforcement agencies. It is important to understand why this issue only recently brought Americans together and created a movement, which even spread around the globe and led to a serious and defining public debate over police brutality and racism.
