REFLECTION:
THE WORLD IS NO LONGER SAFE (Martin Thembisile Chris Hani, 1942–1993)
The current world map is blurred and ugly , competition, conspiracy, exploitation, and wars dominate. Indeed, the world is no longer safe. It has gone mad. Even nature has joined the chaos. Climate change renders abundance and scarcity indistinguishable, unrecognizable. Blood and water have both taken on the color of a whale’s urine. The wagon of policy and strategy no longer differs from the wagon of crime and terrorism—they are now fatally intertwined. The tragedy is that tragedy itself has died.
Everywhere, there is war.
An econo-political war in Sudan, meant to destroy the nation and install a proxy puppet government for the UAE, though the real beneficiary lurks elsewhere. The true objective lies in the neighborhood—this war is atactical fight around the objective , clearing obstacles en route to the objective. It destabilizes the Horn of Africa, while the RSF and UAE, through mercenaries, commit atrocities in plain sight. African states and regional institutions watch, lips sealed.
The resource war in the Congo, ongoing since 1964 (the “Congo Crisis”), threatens the Great Lakes’. Region faragail unity.
Yemen’s generational war, flaring since 1934, chokes Red Sea trade routes. The U.S. and UK now bomb the Houthis under the guise of fighting terrorism—dragging in distant Iran.
South Sudan du to lanck of a national project to contain the negative energy of violence , that started in TORIT August 1955. Promted a neighboring country to intervene for self-interest and national security.
Implementation of ethinc federalism in thiopia’s ( went wrong) exploded into the Tigray war—no surprise, given its deep-rooted history.
Somalia, split by war, the Al-Shabaab are on and off , Two countries exist—one unrecognized, yet functioning, on her rights and merits, this situation , is , source of tension and disharmony within east Africa and red sea region , coupled by harboring the shabab islamic fundamentalist a source of tension.
India and China clash over the Himalayas (Ladakh)—border skirmishes masking a struggle for Asian hegemony.
Morocco vs. Algeria—a territorial-political feud over Western Sahara. It is a territorial political conflict.
Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger—the Sahel severs colonial ties, and the old colonial Powers, retaliate with neo-colonial claws. But the Sahel now gazes elsewhere, stepping forward with dignity, pride, and a strategy of independence are not dependence.
Crimea, purposely kept in erupts since 1636 to the war that started 1853_1856, the Genesis of the current war between Russia and Ukraine , which is the a war between the russia and the west in totality threatens Europe and the allies, the means of fire delivery are collectively mobalized bt the NATO to desestablise Russia and allies.
Hamas- Israel war , Hamas with ten – lives , the war consumed a million plus and still not termed genocide but self-defense, erased the whole Gaza to groud and rubbles, humanitarian access denied , humanitarian laws violated and rules of engagement non-existent , the international institutions and bodies still arguing at lavish tables and rooms to define the criteria of terrorism , categorically impotent. Neighbouring states were unambiguously affected , lips buttoned up , hopefully eyes open ! War spreading to a greater scale , now Israel pitted against Iran , exchanging feverable killing instruments with fury and fire , situation developing by an hour with immense potentially of big powers joining each side guaided with alliance and interest and vengeance, as they are already allining up.
Canada vs USA , USA and the America north and Latino no better ,
India, Pakistan no better
China US trade war symples by the reciprocal of tariffs,which is a fierce competition for global economic doiminance, categorically in technology sector ( Huawei semiconductors TikTok) and Singapore smiring conflicts .
Egypt vs Ethiopia over Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) negotiations repeatedly stalled, open avenue by other means is potential
Chris Hani 1942- 1993 ,shortly before his assassination , concluded with prices, predicted choas of today.The world is hostage, nothing protectable nor preventable .The use of mass-distruction weapons is a probability, The new world’s order is on shaping , the new map is on the making ! How will it be , unpredictable even to the main players with their advanced science and technology, is impossible to protect, predict or subscribe.
These wars conflicts , whether direct or proxy , fall into three categories, ideology ,economic and Territory .
Countries formed tactical or strategic alliances according to the nature of the conflict with the existing west and east , clubs, military allies, that is natural for protection and survival.
Only my country with no strategic alliances, is Sudan confused, due to being mediocre between middle east tendencies ,ideologically forged phenomenon and African denied and lost identity .
Sudan , Sudanese can’t feel safe , they are in a middle of a war that involves regional and international actors each driven by interests.Sudan is a potiential battle ground , sea and air space could be used. Time is ruuning out . Sudan must chose NOW or will be accidentally chosen and Sudanese will pay an unintended quensquences of histence. Sudan must place herself within the newly shaped world map .
