Lebanon – Terrorism And Political Assassination Target Statehood And Security

December 29, 2013

 By Padmini Arhant

The continuous terror attacks, sectarian clashes and political assassinations in Lebanon targets statehood and security. 

The chief sponsors of terrorism in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egypt desire regional destabilization and ignore dire consequences directly affecting them. 

Saudi Arabia and Israel joint efforts with United States and western allies coordination promoting volatility in Middle East is self-destructive expediting authoritarian regimes and facilitators imminent collapse.

When atrocities peak fomenting violence through terror exports and ammunitions supply killing innocent lives in war torn nations, the sources behind proxy wars are essentially seeking invitation for devastation upon them with irreversible outcome.

The detrimental strategy to decimate sovereign nations for specific agenda is evidently catastrophic due to malefic aspirations guiding irrationality.

Lebanon political leaderships indecisiveness and discord prevalent in non-cooperation with interim government preparation towards Presidential and Parliamentary election create opportunity for external powers to exploit situation. 

The incidents involving violent assaults on Lebanese military forces and other events such as Tripoli unrest and bombings in Hezbollah domain, 

Notwithstanding assassination of the resistance senior commander Hassan al-Lakkis past week and lately the political adviser to March 14 bloc Mohammad Shatah and shelling episodes in and around Beirut including sensitive territories in Lebanon and,

Last but not the least Israeli reconnaissance flights violating Lebanon sovereignty and recent annexation of Lebanon water fields and oil rich areas confirm Israel and Saudi Arabia manufactured crises for strategic dominance.

Political factions in Lebanon especially the March 14 alliance with Saudi dynasty influence on ex-premier Saad Hariri and members compromise Lebanon independence and endanger citizens as well as Lebanese army safety. 

The March 14 political leadership and members are misled to maintain status quo and disillusionment on issues viz. assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri also the late father of current leader Saad Hariri necessary to purge Takfiri infiltration enabled by Saudi Arabia financing and Israel intelligence hiring local operatives to stir tensions and confrontation among Lebanese politic.

Hezbollah representing March 8 movement in solidarity with diverse political parties could lead the nation towards restoration of democracy and functioning government adept at overcoming challenges in all frontiers prioritizing national interest over respective convictions and ambition.

Lebanon strength lies in democratic process with political consensus on electoral reform and national issues varying from combating terror to implementing growth oriented economic policy.

Furthermore, Lebanon dealing with refugees influx from Syria, Palestine and Iraq might find effective solution in prohibiting weapons delivery and terror networks mobility across the border.

Besides providing humanitarian support to nations fighting foreign instigated turmoil could ease the burden on relevant governments. 

Lebanon unity is constantly threatened with foreign intrusion in internal affairs aimed at disintegration and failed governance. 

The population in Lebanon rejecting Saudi Arabia, Israel, United States and France…interference would delineate the country in exercising self-determination rights and defending territorial integrity.

Citizens urging political representatives to address national problems beginning with preventing widespread terror and constitutional adherence in forming republic choice government would guarantee Lebanon peace and stability.

With condolences to grieving families, 

Best Wishes to people in Lebanon for a new beginning and promising future, 

Happy New Year!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

South Sudan – Internal Conflict With External Influence

December 18, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The ongoing clashes among Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) rivals in Jonglei state capital Bor military camp resulting in 19 civilian casualties and an estimated 500 deaths along with 13,000 or more forced to flee the town is regrettable and those behind the violence bear responsibility.

Political disagreements cannot be resolved through innocent bloodshed and disputes are to be settled via communication and peaceful negotiations rather than targeting citizens of the country.

President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar demonstrating leaderships by advising respective troops, political groups and loyalists to refrain from violent confrontations could restore relative calm and stability to the volatile situation.

Any major political differences and concerns over national issues like widespread corruption and economic problems exchanged in people assembly following appropriate procedures would be productive and perhaps lead to positive outcome sparing population and nation from spiraling turmoil.

The former deputy Riek Machar militarily challenging incumbent leader Salva Kiir evidently threatens national security not to mention the humanitarian suffering involving members of both ethnicity i.e. Nuer and Dinka representing the two leaders in the burgeoning crises.

South Sudan constant engagement in warfare deprives people the opportunity to experience freedom and the nation from economic growth despite the oil resources in possession.

Political ambitions to claim or remain in power do not guarantee self-satisfaction especially when the strategy is premised on undemocratic militaristic course with citizens forced to pay the price.

Moreover, such government formation would have difficulty winning public trust and confidence due to lack of credibility reflective in the means to accomplish goals.

The external influence in the conflict could not be ruled out conforming to the contemporary trend fomenting political chaos to facilitate weapons supply to all sides until eventual destabilization. 

President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar as well as SPLA commanders are urged to renounce fighting and instead return to civil discourse exemplifying sincere commitment to citizens safety and national interest.

The contenders vying for office could always prove eligibility utilizing the democratic process with electoral mandate confirming legitimacy unlike the prevalent measures to seize authority.

South Sudan leaderships and warring factions reconciliation is critical ending the internal unrest to maintain law and order with national defense force safeguarding territorial integrity and citizens safety.

President Salva Kiir administration and opposition leader Riek Machar collective efforts diffusing tensions in the troubled areas of the country could prevent escalation nationwide.

South Sudan cannot afford to evolve into Darfur and peaceful resolution is the only alternative to save the nation from civil war. 

With condolences to bereaved families and prayers for the victims affected in the recent setbacks,

Wishing people in South Sudan peace and recovery from deteriorating political condition.

Peace to all! 

Thank you.

Mexico – PEMEX Privatization Against National Interest

December 17, 2013

By Padmini Arhant 

Mexico Senate approval on oil reform bill inviting United States energy firms (Exxon Mobil and Chevron) to drill for crude has sparked citizens protests with petition bearing one million and six hundred thousand signatures against government action.

The largest oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) under full state ownership up until now opened for private profit sharing after 75 years claiming the position as a requirement to boost production and revenue.

Mexico with substantial untapped reserves ranking second behind the Arctic Circle targeted in foreign monopoly influencing Mexican political system through neo liberal economic policy.

Since previous privatization in the late twentieth century led to exploitation and foreign companies excess control depriving the nation from due economic benefits, the people concern over repeat event in PEMEX deal is legitimate and deserves political diligence prior to proceeding with erroneous decision.

The proposal allowing energy companies to explore and extract oil and gas with investments to maximize capability in crude oil refinery and output to offset current 40% imports for domestic consumption might be the reason behind the ruling and opposition parties consensus on the contentious legislation. 

However, PEMEX supporting the Mexican economy generating one-third national income could seek other possibilities to enhance productivity without compromising proprietary rights and profitability.

The lack of technology and funding being the two major factors attracting offshore partnership, these issues could be addressed with purchase of technology and hiring relevant expertise for training local workforce. 

As for capital infusion, providing incentives to domestic investors and raising public shareholding could be the preliminary step towards protecting national assets and any additional financing supplemented with preference shares subscription offered to prospective international buyers safeguarding equity for continuous growth and development.

Besides government loans, the budget allocation to national enterprise PEMEX towards research and innovation for lucrative returns would deliver anticipated outcome in the economic perspective.

The state corporation compliance with safety ordinance, security measures and environment standards are paramount to sustain long term operation.

Mexico government pledge to climate treaty during COP 16 in Cancun exemplified in action with natural energy options viz. solar, wind and hydropower projects could cover inadequacy contemporarily necessitating overseas supply to meet national demand.

Subsequently adopting clean energy programs would be viable considering volatility in oil prices emanating from diverse unpredictable events.

Despite fuel abundance, Mexico reliance on external sources due to monetary and technological constraints could be overcome with appropriate adaptations while retaining state possession. 

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto heading the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the opposition National Action Party (PAN) agreement ignoring overwhelming public rejection on this matter might contribute to political setbacks and economic liability following precedence.

The Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) solidarity with civil society against government plan is prudent given Mexico’s past economic losses from foreign acquisitions in the 1980’s and 1990’s proved unfavorable en masse. 

Mexican lawmakers in the lower house exercising caution and careful evaluation of the law involving the last remaining national treasure with majority disapproval could prevent surrender of sovereignty and consequential subjugation in the voluntary liquidation.

Furthermore, Mexican legislators honoring republic will and decline authorization to the controversial PEMEX denationalization  in consideration of pragmatic solutions would be promising for the country.

Hopefully reason and rationale would prevail in recognition of national pride reflective in PEMEX.

Good Luck to Mexican citizenry in defending national cause for prosperous future! 

Wishing Mexico peaceful, progressive and phenomenal New Year and beyond.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – Political Circus Beckon Electorate Disillusionment

December 16, 2013

By Padmini Arhant 

Indian politics – the embodiment of corruption spare no opportunity in the art of deception.

Since anti-corruption fervor in the country in 2011 leading up until now, the political establishments under foreign entities control have denied the vast majority life with dignity. 

The nation with overwhelming population forced into abject poverty, hunger, disease and social inequality is suffocated with partisanship, false pride and traditional prejudice.

Human suffering exploited making mockery of victims in the so-called world’s largest democracy serving as the biggest hypocrisy in contemporary system.

India’s political class hypersensitivity to truth exposure surface upon inability to defend indefensible position deflecting public attention from real issues confronting the nation at large such as rampant corruption, high inflation, violence against women and inherent discriminatory practice creating hierarchical and parochial society.

The dynastic predisposition survives on cronyism with nepotism overriding meritocracy as the salient feature in the decadence culture.

Human lives and values regarded insignificant in the quest for power and affluence adopting any means to maintain status quo. 

The political circus involving various performers at stakeholders behest defies intellect and integrity in mass betrayal.

Unfortunately for the participants sharing negative Karma as facilitators, the guilt burden on the soul and ill consequences would be proportional with sources behind myth to alleviate humanitarian plight in the country. 

In the Who is Who Contest, recognition in this context is imperative to avert undesirable and disastrous outcome. 

The latest developments in New Delhi, India on the anti-graft legislation and state assembly rule arguably reveal two sides of the coin are not necessarily different and designed to favor the declining empire.

Indian electorate especially the demography in the lower economic strata and middle income groups imposed with generational marginalization rising to the occasion and forming genuine political party viz. Jan Kalyan Party, Lok Kalyan Party, and Desh Pragati Party transcending gender and social bias in the title as well as mascot could initiate paradigm shift in political consciousness. 

The abovementioned authentic mainstream party upon formation with selfless unsung contributors pledged to eliminate corruption and disparity for fair representation in every sector is the only alternative to prevalent despair and disenfranchisement nationwide.

Notwithstanding transparency and accountability from inception and beyond. 

May the wheels of Karma and Dharma lead Bharat towards disillusionment for Mukti i.e. liberation.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

India – New Delhi State Assembly Polls And Political Establishments Opportunism

December 13, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The recent state assembly elections in New Delhi, India produced unprecedented outcome for ordinary citizens in political history. 

Indian political system not without foreign control is stagnant with duopoly – the two major political parties viz. Congress from British India led UPA and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with various coalitions thus far failed to win absolute majority to govern most states and the nation at large.

Both parties and their alliances attracting rich celebrities from the entertainment and economic sector to represent a nation with significant population in abject poverty enduring social inequality yet to demonstrate capability and integrity considering plethora of scandals costing taxpayers horrendously due to massive corruption and dysfunctionality. 

Congress Party headed by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul Gandhi with Ministers P. Chidambaram and counterparts evading accountability on numerous corruption charges suffered severe setbacks in the latest provincial elections across the country.

Similarly BJP identified as fundamentalists behind communal riots proportionately share corruption related political losses predominantly in the southern region.

In Delhi polls, the emergence of common man party known as Aam Admi Party (AAP) – the offshoot from anti-graft movement launched in 2011 under activist leader Anna Hazare defeated the ruling congress party ousting the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit criticized for 2010 New Delhi Common Wealth Games corruption and funds mismanagement. 

The AAP founder Arvind Kejriwal and associates performance bewildered BJP and Congress party sowing the seeds for possible political transformation at the local and national level.

Delhi State Assembly with 70 seats currently split among BJP 32, AAP 28, Congress 8 and 2 Independent likely to join BJP in the post election. 

In the absence of clear winner to govern the state, New Delhi is faced with possibility of President rule or undesirable partnerships between the leading parties and runner up Congress and alternatively holding re-election for decisive victory.

Although BJP maintains marginal lead over newcomer AAP, the former resigning to opposition position is a political maneuver and AAP teaming up with Congress would be reversal of hard earned achievement for the common man party. 

Congress and BJP as the political establishments essentially favor one another and poised to maintain status quo.

BJP political posturing to address corruption and failure to deliver in action while leaving the matter to ruling Congress confronted with public anger and frustration over various issues primarily anti-corruption law i.e. Jan Lokpal bill, inflation and rising violence against women confirm the lack of commitment to national interest.

Besides, BJP refusal to participate in no confidence vote against UPA Congress further proves the dual party agreement to defend each other during crises at national expense denying electorate fair political representation.

BJP success largely attributed to Congress dismal trajectory and hence remains the default option.

The dilemma for Indian voters to choose between the two unpopular parties tainted with evidence based allegations could be overcome in forming and promoting mainstream political party – Jan Kalyan Party (JKP)/ Lok Kalyan Party (LKP), Desh Pragati Party (DPP)  or National Progress Party (NPP) nationwide through citizens financing candidacies possessing verifiable record dedicated to national and humanitarian service.

Among them, unlike conventional practice seeking fame and fortune and subsequently entering politics for power and prestige, the people party representation with selfless unsung heroes and geniuses would delineate them from political class in modern age.

Social activism alone might be effective when elected representatives abide by constitutional oath to serve constituents and nation resisting domestic and foreign incentives and pressure to commit treason and betray citizens’ trust.

Since traditional politics prioritize personal benefits over national future, the youth drive energizing the rest of the nation via Jan Kalyan Party / Lok Kalyan Party, Desh Pragati Party (DPP) or National Progress Party could be the beacon of hope to dispel the myth on contemporary choices showcased with fancy packaging containing obsolete product.

Mahatma Gandhi’s Satyagraha and followers political involvement together enabled India’s independence from foreign rule.

The rift in national group i.e. Shri Anna Hazare loyalists and AAP members pledged to contain corruption and other problems serve none except facilitate exploitation for declining powers seeking opportunity.

Indian mass preparedness and engagement  for revolutionary change in politics transcending dynasty, nepotism and affluence dominance is the preliminary step towards egalitarianism with political and economic freedom.

Wishing people power in India vigor and vitality for republic governance upholding democratic values and righteousness as the foundation in nation building illumining lives with knowledge and exemplary talent.

Jai Bharat!

Peace to India!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Ukraine – Public Discernment Critical to Protect Sovereignty And National Interest

December 10, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Ukraine like Thailand experiencing foreign powers staged protests against the incumbent government decisions to decline EU Association Agreement on trade and NATO membership.

The ongoing clashes prove that sovereignty is threatened upon prioritizing national interests over shadow organizations agenda.

Similar scenario is prevalent in Afghanistan regarding the bilateral security agreement (BSA) seeking continuation of status quo involving killing innocent children, women and men during night raids and drone attacks with immunity.

Ukraine signing the treaty with EU would be allowing International Monetary Fund (IMF) to impose demands invariably resulting in economic setbacks rather than recovery evident in IMF loans to developing nations across the globe.

The international financial institutions such as the World Bank, IMF, ECB, Bank of England and the Federal Reserve in the United States trajectory preserves bankers holdings while creating fictitious debts on the respective economies depriving growth with national revenue appropriated mostly towards interest payments and deficit control implementing severe austerity.

EU pressure on Ukraine inciting violence and political chaos using opposition groups and fake demonstrations confirms the desperation to destabilize the independent state for subjugation.

Ukraine being export oriented economy weighing the pros and cons prior to engagement with EU that is yet to address deep economic recession within the bloc arguably necessitates prudence in choosing trade partners capable to meet expectations and returns leading to mutually beneficial commerce.

Accordingly, Ukraine preference for Russia or any other nation in this instance is sovereign right and could not be forced to deal with EU considering the consequences witnessed in the financial crisis inflicted on Mediterranean countries viz. Greece and Cyprus depleting national treasury including citizens deposit savings to accommodate unreasonable bailout conditions favoring entities at ECB, IMF and World Bank.

The arrangement with requirements for unilateral commitment denying fair opportunity is not viable and produce undesirable outcome.

Instead EU focus on existing problems amongst members with effective strategies could promote trust and reliance for meaningful relations in the region. 

The weak and volatile euro zone premised on boosting monetary gains for banking industry and undue advantage to developed nations with market accessibility restricting equal access to the rest cause hindrance in pervasive economic development.

On the political issue, EU interference in Ukraine’s internal affairs not limited to the former President Yulia Tymoshenko health status. 

Again EU concern in this regard would be genuine in exemplifying synonymous response to Syrian conflict extending and not lifting arms embargo  despite the measure exacerbating humanitarian plight.

Likewise EU influence on United States to close Guantanamo Bay and release detainees on indefinite hunger strike and honoring P5+1 and Iran nuclear pact with sanctions removal are few examples that would prove EU sincerity in alleviating human suffering. 

Ukraine position not to join NATO is appropriate given the latter track record in foreign invasion and human rights violations notwithstanding the misuse of allies viz. Turkey drawn into Syrian war and Patriot missiles installation along with troops deployment under false pretext in that state essentially constitutes surrender of power. 

President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov exercising diligence on these issues is responsible and pragmatic for these steps could avert potential economic disaster currently shared among EU member states i.e. Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS).

Additionally, NATO alliance disapproval would prevent the possibility to undermine statehood.

Public discernment is critical in rejecting external authorities plan to stir tensions in the country and standing behind the present government leaderships would guarantee freedom.

The pseudo governance exerting authority on sovereign nations is the trend in an attempt to appoint proxy rule to national detriment.

Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych administration practical course could deliver economic progress and hence en masse support is important to defend the nation from turmoil.

Ukraine political stability and economic benefits would be compromised in proceeding with foreign elements organized unrest. The citizens bear responsibility to rescue the nation from unnecessary standoff at global forces behest.

Ukraine solidarity with current government in confronting challenges would ease the situation and facilitate economic prospects in entirety.

Ukraine citizens are urged to refrain from participation in anti-republic and anti-democratic demonstrations aimed at sabotage of able government.

Wishing Ukraine population and leaderships – President Viktor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov as well as all political factions peaceful resolution on national matter to maintain security and liberty barring foreign infiltration. 

Peace to Ukraine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

South Africa – Tribute to Leader Nelson Mandela

December 6, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Heartfelt Condolences to the family and citizens in South Africa on the passing away of South African leader and former President Nelson Mandela.

South Africa like the rest of the nations in the continent and the world under colonialism experienced slavery and discrimination denying the population life with dignity.

During the foreign rule in the mineral especially diamond rich nation, the occupiers treated natives with bias depriving them the right to exist let alone have fair opportunity in their homeland. 

South Africa then became the epitome of apartheid with segregation and subjugation policy.

Whenever atrocities and crimes against innocent citizens reach optimum the end result leads to aggressors’ exit or authoritarianism expiration.

The foreign rulers human rights violation and violence creating hostile environment for locals stoke national sentiments to protect individual and society from further abuse.

Synonymous to most colonized nations, South Africa needed strong leadership and a patriot to inspire compatriots to rise to the occasion and free the nation from status quo.

These qualities along with deep concern for social equality and justice were the fine attributes of the leader Nelson Mandela remaining steadfast in the freedom struggle including imprisonment lasting nearly three decades not without hardships and extreme conditions exemplified dedication to just cause. 

The influence of Mahatma Gandhithe non-violence and civil disobedience pioneer eloquently protesting apartheid in South Africa promoted peaceful movement against injustice and with South Africa’s leader Nelson Mandela adopting peace in the relentless pursuit for independence led to foreign occupation conclusion.

South African leader and the first democratically elected President Nelson Mandela will be remembered for extraordinary contributions in the liberation of the country and people challenged with prejudice and disenfranchisement under foreign authority. 

The former President Nelson Mandela as the leader continues to be the indomitable spirit in reviving hope to the oppressed and marginalized being the vast majority across the globe.

May God Bless the departed leader’s soul to rest in peace.

Peace to South Africa!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Thailand – Democracy Challenged Through External Powers Promoted Destabilization

December 4, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The democratically elected government led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra experiencing foreign powers instigated political uprising.

The opposition facing corruption charges lost 2011 national election following violent crackdown that resulted in many civilian casualties with then ruling authority maintaining unpopular policies to benefit self and selective groups in the political establishment.

Thailand politics premised on constitutional monarchy beneath military wing maneuvered to suit foreign sources agenda at national detriment.

The military coup and royal engagement in governance along with foreign interceptions has denied the people in Thailand political stability. 

When global forces use political system as pawn aimed at destabilization of country and region, the citizens’ discernment is critical to avert such outcome.

The political factions aiding foreign intrusion commit treason in order to remain in power witnessed in Thailand opposition role fomenting anti-government protests and civic buildings occupation declared victory disregarding economic liability from the inappropriate  conduct. 

The problem is the members behind the ongoing political crises in Thailand seeking to topple government for proposals to alleviate poverty and improve economic conditions among vast majority care less about the nation considering the performance during their term and preference to stir tensions rather than peaceful resolution with incumbent administration proves the lack of commitment and ingenuity in national service.

Thailand Premier Yingluck Shinawatra accused of allowing sibling, the self-exiled former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra to advise on political affairs while the accusers are carrying out foreign elements instructions to disrupt government activities is the irony with the organizers of anti-government rally.

The current trend among conglomerate opposed to democracy, peace and national interests is to cause political turmoil against governments attempting to address economic and social issues confronting the nation.

Thailand until recently under predecessor Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva ignored the mainstream plight due to preoccupation with holding the highest office and likewise the supporters concerned about respective power struggle within party and various posts facilitated dysfunctionality leading to continuous mass demonstration in 2010 and 2011.

Moreover having conceded to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra post election 2011, the opposition leader Abhisit Vejjajiva unsuccessful action to delegitimize incumbent in the no confidence vote past week once again confirms personal ambitions prioritized over national needs.

Thailand sharing economic woes with rest of the world deserves political viability and not obstructions misleading people towards chaos and confusion.

Besides. the negative approach against government demanding Premier Yingluck Shinawatra resignation despite comfortable win in the latest no confidence motion is yet another anti-democratic and unconstitutional practice orchestrated from outside.

The desperate entities constantly striving for geopolitical dominance are applying any tactics to deprive Thailand from political, economic and social progress.

In fact the subversion reflective in misusing people power in Thailand is to discredit genuine peace movements against proxy representation elsewhere.

Thailand electorate exercising diligence in rejecting local political complicity with anti-republic foreign influence is important in preserving national sovereignty.

Additionally, Thailand adopting true democratic setting free of regal and army imposition of rules would guarantee meaningful democracy.

The ex-Premier Thaksin Shinawatra alleged assistance providing guidance on national matter to present leadership and other contentions related to government consideration for amnesty to the former leader later withdrawn in recognition of dissent in political circle,

Notwithstanding current government measures on rice subsidy offering farmers fixed prices exceeding market rates on the crops do not justify riots and upheaval.

Any allegations on previous head of state Thaksin Shinawatra accompanied with opportunity to prove innocence in the national court of law would conform to democratic values and constitutional requirement on civil rights.

Instead politicizing these events to score mileage reveals inherent flaws in the strategy to return to power.

The status quo extension serves none and unnecessarily exacerbates population suffering wasting taxpayer resources in political hostility.

Since Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra won Parliament approval to lead the country in the latest voting process, opposition efforts to thwart peace hurt the nation at large with saboteurs eventually paying political price.

Thailand citizens are urged to show solidarity in preventing foreign backed egregious decisions contributing to political unrest in the state.

Wishing Thailand steady and stable governance dedicated to economic growth, social development and fair political representation leaving none behind in prosperity.

Peace to Thailand

Peace to all! 

Thank you.

Afghanistan – Sovereignty on Sale in BSA with United States

December 1, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The Loya Jirga approval of bilateral security agreement with United States including provisions granting immunity to foreign personnel on crimes against Afghan citizens is essentially sovereignty sale for a price paid towards members support prolonging occupation in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, invitation to those individuals favoring BSA and barring the rest opposed to the treaty in Loya Jirga voting process is anything but democratic defining the principles and direction the country will be led under foreign subjugation.

United States pressure on Afghan leaderships to seal the deal despite overwhelming public protests to foreign troops presence in Afghan soil and continuous drone attacks preying on children, women and men verify status quo extension upon Afghan Parliament consensus on the controversial pact. 

The illegal invasion of Afghanistan has fomented violence, proliferated narcotic production and legitimized widespread corruption denying the war torn nation stability and consequently economic and social development.

When external powers rule sovereign country imposing laws in direct violation of human rights and national constitution, the identity is lost with no recognition for native population self-determination prerogatives and territorial integrity.

The thirteen years military aggression in Afghanistan produce massive casualties on all sides, economic liabilities for both aggressors and victim nation and persistent insurgency in resistance to foreign intervention.

Afghanistan security cannot be established through imperial dominance responsible for turmoil with no desire to promote peace.

The real beneficiaries in the thirteen years quagmire are those dependent on arms and drugs profits at the local and global citizens expense knowing well that these activities claim innocent lives and target vulnerable segments depriving them of existence and life with dignity.

Afghanistan proceeding with BSA is surrender of national independence allowing occupiers to deplete natural resources and wealth shared among the self-proclaimed privileged members showing no remorse for death and destruction since military operation onset.

Besides, any nation’s authorities ignoring republic will at imperial powers behest could not be representative of the people and swearing allegiance to foreign usurpation confirm treasonous act committed with impunity.

The irony in this issue is Afghans fleeing their homeland due to foreign forces atrocities ranging from shooting rampage to rape, torture and unlawful detentions during night raids and relentless drone assaults are declined even temporary refuge on arrival in any of the invaders shores witnessed in Australian policy towards oppressed asylum seekers while the foreign powers and coalition assert authoritarianism insisting on militarization of the embattled state. 

Afghanistan has choices to reject prevalent conditions and free the nation from colonization.  Afghan youth and remaining society could come forward and assume control over their destiny rather than leaving the decisions to entities least concerned about Afghan lives and livelihood compromised in the contentious accord.

National freedom and personal liberty are non-negotiable and more than decade old warfare has undermined Afghan sovereignty with drones, warrantless searches of Afghan homes, prison camps without legal recourse and last but not the least declaring Afghanistan as a failed state incapable of self-governance.

Afghanistan has unique opportunity to demonstrate resilience and potential required for nation building possible with patriotism and solidarity.

Afghan history is testimony to the fact that imperialism unrealistic goals and pursuits evidently counterproductive resulting in empires collapse.

The true benefactor would exit Afghanistan in 2014 heeding to domestic call for complete withdrawal and pledge to repair and restoration costs incurred in the aftermath of foreign interference that could lead to long overdue economic progress. 

Best Wishes to Afghan citizens in the achievement of peace and fair political representation dedicated to national defense, equality and prosperity.

Peace to Afghanistan!

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Iran – Nuclear Deal With P5 + 1 in Geneva

November 24, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

The nuclear deal between P5 + 1 viz. United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany and Iran recognizing Iran’s nuclear enrichment rights with no new sanctions regarded as the preliminary step towards nuclear standoff resolution.

Although P5 + 1 initial measure could ease unnecessary tensions and unwanted provocations,

The fact of the matter is IAEA and UN reports along with United States and Israel’s military as well as intelligence authorities have found no evidence in the alleged Iran’s advanced  nuclear activity.

Iran as signatory to Non Proliferation Treaty maintains the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and accordingly reserves such opportunity.

Nonetheless the existing economic embargo and financial restrictions on Iran based on unsubstantiated claims hurt P5 + 1 credibility with intentions to sustain pressure limiting nuclear enhancement.

The truth is the individual and collective P5 + 1 nuclear status in the absence of similar inspections and verifications on their stockpiles endanger global stability and security.

Unless there is acknowledgment among P5 + 1 to this effect, the discriminatory policy targeting nations like Iran and North Korea with crippling sanctions only promotes exceptionalism allowing major nuclear powers to accelerate accumulation barring accountability.

United States, Britain and Israel use of nuclear weapons and components arguably catastrophic and yet P5 + 1 non-compliance considering legacy and prevalent geopolitical dominance prolonging illegal invasion and occupation of foreign land remains existential threat to humanity at large.

Hence, P5 +1 leading the rest of the world in nuclear disarmament would deliver meaningful outcome on nuclear talks rather than intense negotiations with Iran – the non-nuclear member of NPT pledged to peaceful cause.

Besides imperial powers aggression not excluding potential nuclear warfare in the all options are on the table rhetoric cannot be ignored with preference for volatility rejecting peace and democracy anywhere.

Additionally, Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents, United States nuclear sites leakage and radioactive waste contamination of rivers along with Russia’s experience in series of fire incidents involving atomic submarines are some of many environment disasters harming life.

The Russian atomic powered submarine Tomsk fitted with two nuclear reactors caught on fire near Vladivostok in September 2013 and previously in December 2011Yekaterinburg carrying nuclear missiles on board engulfed in flames in northwestern Russia preceded by the Kursk nuclear submarine explosion on sea claiming 118 seamen lives in August 2000 serve as reminders on nuclear hazards in the contemporary setting.

Further, the nuclear states ICBM and diverse capability testing in the ocean increases vulnerability to ecological damage leading to planet deterioration.

The unanimous decision to renounce nuclear ambitions and proliferation with enactment of international laws enforced without exceptions is the immediate priority to alleviate constant risks from nuclear related ramifications.

Failure to change course from nuclearization to nuclear free zone could precipitate irreversible consequences with pervasive impact.

Earth protection is directly linked with removal of nuclear arsenal and other weapons of mass destruction.  The P5 + 1 submission to nuclear and WMD renunciation given the substantial inventory in possession would eliminate nuclear pursuits in the foreseeable future.

Hopefully reason and reality would guide choices resulting in universal safety and survivability.

Peace to all!

Thank you.
