educational problem by suicide bombing

summary

Suicide bomb is being carried out by children induced by Boko Haram i n Nigeria. There were 44 children ”suicide bombings” in West Africa last year.They hide explosives under their clothes or in baskets. The reason why Boko Haram used children  is that people usually doesn’t expect they have explosives. However,  this strategy by Boko Haram destroyed more than 900 schools and killed more than 600 teachers. Therefore educational system of Nigeria is damaged and we have to think of some solutions

opinion

What do we have to do to repair Nigerian educational system? I have an idea. Each countries should try to make textbooks for Nigerian children. It is true that sending teachers to Nigeria is a good solution.but teachers who can understand languages spoken in Nigeria is probably few and they can also be killed by ”susuide bombings” at school. Sending textbooks doesn’t have a possibility that a new person is killed. In addtion, children can study everytime with them. They don’t necessarily need to go to school to study,so danger of being involved in explosion can decrease. To conclude, sending textbooks leads to enhance efficiency of learning and defends children from being killed.I think each country should make tektbooks which Nigerian can understand and send them.

 

 

Rwanda:Landslides caused by heavy rains kill dozens

Summary

About 50 people have been killed by landslides caused by heavy rains over the weekend in Rwanda. And sadly, most of the victims are believed to have been children. In the northern area, more than 500 homes are also destroyed and the country’s infrastructure has been damaged by the downpours. The nation’s serious problem is “erosion” because Rwanda, the densely populated country, is made up of hills and valleys, and this season is much more heavier rainy days than usual. Authorities in some East African countries have thought that the El Nino weather phenomenon has caused this heavier rainy season.

Opinion

What we have to think is the balance between developments and natural conditions. To live better, some developments are important. However, on the other hand, the environment may be destroyed. And we must avoid the situation that modern buildings and products cause danger, because of the ignorance of nature. For example, in China, rapid industrialization has brought about some serious environmental issues. I suppose you have seen the news about PM 2.5 problems. This article also says that Rwanda’s government has moved some people to safety areas. In my opinion, the state should have more surmised some dangerous occurrences. Therefore, we have to discuss many environmental problems further.

Selling animals

summary

The article says that Zimbabwe parks authority sells animals due to drought. Drought prevent grassland from growing and cause lack of water. That’s why Zimbabwe parks authority tries to decrease the number of animals in the park. Moreover Zimbabwe parks authority intends to not only sell animals but also allow hunters to kill animals. Minister says this money will be used to buy food and secure water facilities for distressed animals.

My opinion
Because it is difficult to think how to solve drought, I would like to think about how to save animals. Although this measure accordingly help life of animals in the park, it should not be permitted to kill animals. I think it is strange to sell or kill animal in the park where naturally we enjoy to see animals.130 I think there are other ways not to kill animals. For example, I think it is possible to sell animals other parks or zoo. This way would prevent animals from being killed. In conclusion , I think we should be kind to animals and we human and animals can exist together.

Uganda’s plan for building a pipeline

Summary

Landlocked Uganda has announced it will build a major pipeline to export its oil through Tanzania in Kampala at a summit of the East African Community bloc with Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan.

Uganda had planned to send the pipeline through Kenya, which wanted a joint facility for oil from its own fields that are under development. It is concerned about possible attacks by Somalia’s al-shabab Islamists because of further south. It is said that it costs about 4 billions creates 15000 jobs. It suggests that Uganda backed the Tanzanian route because the country’s port of Tanga is already fully operational, while Kenya’s Lamu ports still being built.

 

Opinion

I think the reports is good idea, so I find the important things.

First, it is that the east Africa which is not productive area will become the big country to product much oil after a few years. Because the demand from many country gets higher to product oil, the economy in Africa may develop. Also, the project needs many people, so the many worker is turned out. It means that it helps the economy and jobs.

Second, it will affect all over the world. The oil in Africa contains less sulfur than other countries, so We Japan, Asia which consume much oil will take on it still more and it is able to keep the relation between supply and demand in balance.

In these reason, I think the report is good idea for their own country and other country.

The South Sudanese tribe attacked Ethiopia

Summary

Murle tribe in the South Sudan has attacked the village in the Ethiopia bordering the South Sudan. It was Nuer tribe to have been attacked and more than 200 people were killed and 100 children were abducted by Murle. Like this attack has frequently occurred in this region for the purpose of stuff, livestock, lands and the right of posture. To this situation, Reda Ethiopian minister of communication mentioned that the relation between the countries was good. In the South Sudan, a civil war has occurred since 2013.

 

Opinion

The South Sudan is young country which became independent from Sudan in 2011. Therefore the government has not had a power enough to control its nation yet. Now a civil war also brakes out in the South Sudan. They were originally occurred from the political issue between the former and present presidents. They are in opposite tribes that this issue moved to the one between tribes. As consequence, the South Sudan isn’t far from developing infrastructure and is sinking into poverty. That’s why I think Murle tribe come to have such a purpose. Although the minister sais that the relationship is good, the situation will be bad if tribe disputes continue to occur and expand beyond the border. Now it is necessary for the South Sudanese government to have a power enough to control the country.

 

Concerns about Somalian emigrants

Summary

According to the United Nations around 15% of Somali citizens migrated to other countries last year because of a horrible drought and an armed insurgency in Somalia.

Abdinur Mohamed Ahmed, who is based in the capital of Somalia, appealed to his fellow not to leave their country by using Twitter. He claims that they have no reasons to emigrate because of insecurity since suicide attacks actually happened in Europe. And besides, he is worried about the impact which migrants will make on the future of Somalia. 

Opinion 

We need to think about this issue from two points of view.

Firstly, immigrating to Europe. There were some suicide attacks not only in Somalia but also in Europe, as like Abdinur said, so we cannot ignore the fact that the danger of terrorism is close to us. However, people in Europe are much safer than in Somalia when we consider about it objectively.

Secondly, future of Somalia. It is exactly as Abdinur say, if many of them leave their country, Somalia cannot exist. So I suggest repatriation which can solve this problem. They had better wait and see until the situation settles down, and they back home to rebuild their country.

Kenya lions escape

Summary
The theme of the discussion of my group is one of problems about nature in Kenya. The lions which were in the national park escaped overnight and stayed into the city. Three lions have been recuperated,but it is not clear whether more lions remain on the loose. The park is next to cities including slums. The people in the slums are angry that Kenya Wildlife Service is taking so long time to recuperate the lions.

Opinions
My opinion about this article is this problem is related to Japan from a different point of view. In Japan, there is few troubles like in Kenya. The national parks in Japan are far from the principal cities, so people have little worry about attacking by animals. If this happens in Japan, people are more confused because we watch few flesh-eating animals. However, in these days, cities have been too far from nature in Japan. Japanese government has been put many development projects since 1960s because Japan must develop the industries and make the economy grow up. It must break nature to build factories, power plants and dams. Now,it is difficult for people to touch nature.

An armed group attacked on three hotels and 18 people died in cote d’Ivoire

Summary

The international terrorism group of Al-Qaeda attacked on three hotels which is a tourist spot in Cote d’Ivoir. According to news, 15 private citizens and 3 special force’s people died. But this is not the first terrorism attacked on tourist’s spot in the South Africa. The event which many hotels of Mali and Burkina Fasso are attacked by armed groups which is terrorism organization of Al-Qaeda since last year.

Opinion

Lately, there are so many terrors because of group of Al-Qaeda or IS. So many citizen and tourist are also at risk in many countries.  Many countries have their troops are fighting with terrorists to safe world. Why is this such terrors are continuing? Many scholars said the current terrorism are an extension of the  failure of the war on terrorism in the United States. Since 9.11, the United States had declared war on terror. Initially, people believed the War on terror will bring a peaceful world. But the Arab countries were confusing because war of Afghanistan and Iraq. This chaos has resulted in growing the forces of Islamic extremists. I think war and terrorism are the result of extreme politics. Extremes will only result in an extreme result. So we need to devise a new way yo solve the terrorism other than war to make more peaceful world.

 

IS attacked Somalia

Mogadishu was bomb attacked by the so-called Islamic State. Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia. Somalia is located in East Africa and it is near to Ethiopia. The so-called Islamic State attacked Somalia because they want to gain a foothold in East Africa. However, the so-called Islamic State had failed because of the presence of al-Shabaab.

The so-called Islamic State has been attacked so many countries. A lot of innocent people died and got hurt from the terrorist. However, many countries did not do anything to stop or prevent the terrorism. Today I would like to give an idea which might be able to prevent from attack by the so-called Islamic State and other terrorists.

A country should be more careful in an airport especially, at the customs. A customs is the place where people must go thorough in order to go in to a country. It also controls the flow of goods, including animals, transports, personal effects, and hazardous items, into and out of a country. However, many customs allowed terrorist because customs did not check people’s belongings carefully. So, they should check belongings more strictly and carefully even if it takes a lot of time and money. If customs can do that, the terrorists will hesitate to attack a country.
