The World Of Wars.

"I don't believe that the big men, the politicians, and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little men are just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again". These were the words of Anne Frank, a young girl who wrote her everyday life in a diary, while hiding from Hitler's concentration camps.

I wouldn't know if whatever she said was right or wrong. I wouldn't know if humankind is guilty of holding an urge to kill or murder. But I do know that in today's "so called" developed world, war isn't an ancient term. Though some of us don't fight for our lives everyday, hiding in bunkers or starving without food, we very well would've heard about the wars that are tearing down the countries that are surrounding us.

Syria is facing a bloody civil war, while being the expansion ground for terrorist organisations like the ISIS. Yemen is facing a massive humanitarian crisis, with at least 8.4 million people at risk of starvation and 22.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, according to the UN.About 2.6 million Somalians live in protracted internal displacement according to the UN, facing serious abuses, including indiscriminate killings, forced evictions, sexual violence, and limited access to basic services. Mass civil disobedience movements in Sudan holds soaring death rates. More than 50,000 people have been killed and a further 1.6 million displaced, since 2013, in Sudan. Present day concentration camps in China holds Uighur Muslims as hostages. A million people are being held against their will in China today, in political reeducation camps and the world is still silent about it.

Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria, North Korea, Ukraine and Venezuela, are all nations that are currently at war or at the brink of war. A massive portion of human population is dying due to famine, starvation, disease and hunger and the privileged "us" are all either ignorant or helpless. These examples will never do justice in explaining all the horror that is present in the world today. And when I look at all this, there's just some small part of me that is ever so slightly agreeing to Anne Frank's words.
