Suicide bombers vs allied forces

A Taliban tries to shoot a woman
in the head for adultery.
A suicide bomber struck again. This had resulted to the death of at least 25 innocent people during a funeral procession in eastern Afghanistan. This took place after the Talibans had succeeded in series of bombings that killed a lot of people in the past.

In their desperate attempts to get back at the allied forces, in partnership with Afghan forces, the Talibans have been using suicide bombers to retaliate and kill other people in the name of their religious ideology.

The Talibans always wanted to convert Afghanistan into a purely Islamic country, where advancement in education, and women whose faces are not covered by a veil, are considered mortal sins. To them, these practices are against the teachings of the Holy Koran, and where women are forced to obey their masters' greeds.

However, the presence of the allied forces have made them inutile to implement what they wanted to be done in the pursuit of their religious ideals for the Afghan people. The Talibans' failure to haul as many followers as they could, which are done through threats and intimindation in remote communities, they have resorted to using humans to let the world know that they are still around.

At this point in time, the allied forces in Afghanistan seemed helpless to put in place the developments they had introduced in that part of the world. With so many uneducated people around, the foreign forces are left without a leverage but to be put in the middle of a political chaos, whose effective solutions are far-fetched from reality.

When the lives of innocent people, including that the foreign forces whose objective is  to maintain peace and order, and help in infrastructure developments, are put at stake, foreign governments have no other options but to pull out their troops. In this way, the Afghan people will have to manage their own affairs. And let's see what will happen to them.

At this stage, it is doubly hard to convince the Afghan people to unite for the sake of development and peace. I hope that one day, they will realize the importance of co-existence for the sake of the present and the future generations.

Opening of public lands for agri-developments

For many decades, vast tracts of forest lands are damaged across the Philippines. These are either the handiwork of nature like soil erosions, landslides, tremors or they're simply man-made due to humans' greed for immediate cash if only to survive. By all means, those who are within the proximity of the forests are free to do whatever they thought was best for them to survive or earn fast cash.  Notably, the most common practice that upland dwellers do is the cutting of firewood, slash-and-burn farming to plant crops even if these activities run counter to established forestry regulations that forbid them from doing these activities without permission from the authorities. Without a land of their own, they have to do it anyway. While some armed groups would simply engage themselves in illegal logging activities for profits. Forestry reports said that they even encroach on other's logging concessions to cut trees for sale to interested buyers. When I was working with the Mi

China is to blame for the pandemic spread

Had the Chinese government taken the initiative or done enough to immediately contain the novel Coronavirus from spreading waywardly into other areas, this pandemic wouldn't have gone too far to pester other countries like Italy, the United States and the Philippines whose governments had declared a lockdowns thus causing extreme fears among the people, not to mention the derailments of some economies worldwide. But the provincial government, where Wuhan is an integral part of, acted too late to lockdown the place. The local government in Wuhan should have prevented residents from getting out, especially those who were infected by the virus. Sorry to say this, but the Wuhan government officials were lackadaisical in their approach to the health dilemma, thinking that the problem was just an ordinary matter which didn't require much attention. Until the problem got worse resulting to some deaths in the area had they known of Covid-19's serious impacts on the health of innoce
