Vietnamese people hesitate not to take risk to reach the UK

By 1151 0

In the recent past, tens of thousands of Vietnamese people have risked their life to reach the United Kingdom.

Unfortunately, most of them have not succeeded in their mission. And, some of them have even fallen under the clutches of death.

Yet, the illegal migrant flow from Vietnamese to the UK is still heavy. Middlemen make millions through the business.

It is poverty in Vietnam that keeps the flow heavy. Even though Vietnam is a booming economy, the wealth is not distributed equality in the country. Therefore, some regions in the country are still poor. It is those in this region more vulnerable compared to the rest.

There are two kinds of travel options available: premium and economy. Even though the latter sounds to be less risky, in reality both are equally risky.

From the moment an illegal migrant steps out of his/her country, he/she is under the mercy of his/her agent. That means anything can happen to a illegal migrant en route to his/her dream country.

Leftists win Argentina

By 1303 0

Centre-left candidate Alberto Fernandez has won the Argentinean presidential election, defeating his centre-right rival, Mauricio Macri, who is the incumbent president.

The election result proves that the people of the country is unhappy with the economic crisis into which the country has fallen and they have found the promises made by the centre-left, especially on the matter of economy, reliable.

The centre-left leader has won more than forty-five per cent votes.

The result was not that surprising one. The anti-incumbency factor was very high in the state.

Most poll experts have predicted in favour of the regime change.

The regime change is expected to have a serious political impact in the entire Latin American region in the long run.

Argentina is one of the main countries in the region. It has significant influence on many countries in the region.

The regime change indicates the Europe and the US will no longer have free access to the policy making structure of this country.

The European country of France, where the popularity of e-scooters and the number of young e-scooter users have seen tremendous increases in the recent years, has decided to bring laws to control the misuse of e-scooters.

By 1502 0

The remains of the most brutal leader the European country has ever seen, Francisco Franco, have been removed from the vast mausoleum, in which he was buried several decades ago, to a low-key grave.

The relocation was a key promise of the Socialists. The relocation is the victory of the Socialist leaders.

The Spanish government has successfully surmounted the opposition raised by the family members of the dictator.

The family members of the leader have strongly challenged the decision to relocate the remains of the leader.

The Spanish government has stayed close to its stand that it could not allow the glorification of a Fascist leader.

Mr. Franco was a brutal dictator who ruled the European country of Spain for several decades.

His burial place was regarded as a symbol of Fascism. In the recent past, several protest happened across Spain demanding the destruction of that symbol.

The relocation is considered as the victory of that movement.

Nusrat Jahan Case: Around 16 get death penalty

By 1340 0

As many as sixteen people have been awarded death sentence in connection with the infamous Nusrat Jahan Rafi case by a court in Bangladesh.

The court earlier found them guilty of the gruesome murder.

The verdict is the victory of the west. It is the western countries which has imposed pressure to the Asian country to investigate the case in a proper manner.

It is the most brutal crime the country has witnessed in the recent past. Unlike most other cases of similar nature, this case has been fined in a short span of time.

The family members of the victim have welcomed the verdict delivered by the Bangladesh court.

The Nusrat Jahan case is different in many ways. It is her reluctance to withdraw a complaint she levelled against her headmaster that prompted the perpetrators of the crime to kill her by setting her ablaze. She was a brave girl. She stood with the truth till her last breadth. Her death statement was recorded and leaked to media.

The case of Nusrat Jahan spared a wide spread movement in the Asian country – as well as across the world.

Women safety in Bangladesh is a serious issue. It is one of the few countries where the women safety index is very low. 

In a recent survey conducted in the Bangladesh garment industry – which employs a large number of the women population of the country, it was found that at least 80 per cent of the Garment factory workers in the country experienced some forms of sexual harassment at their workplace.

Russia inks deal with Turkey over Syria

By 1559 0

Russian President Vladimir Putin has inked a historic deal with Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the issue of the Syrian Kurds, which recently suffered a military attack from Istanbul.

The agreement allows the Turkish forces to retain the regions they have already captured from the Syrian Kurds. And, moreover, it demands the removal of the Syrian Kurds far way from the Turkish border.

No Syrian Kurd leader has commented about the agreement yet. It remains unclear whether the Syrian Kurds will agree to the agreement reached between Russia and Turkey.

The agreement keeps largely silent over the matter of Qamishii, the most sensitive area which comes under the territory from which the agreement asks the Kurds to leave – where the Syrian Kurds are concentrated in large numbers, especially after the commencement of the Turkish offensive.

It is assumed that the Syrian Kurds is less likely to agree to an agreement which asks them to leave Qamishii.

The coming hours are very crucial. The agreement gives only 150 hours for the Syrian Kurds to act.

Green parties make huge gains in Swiss election

By 1363 0

The two main Green parties have made huge gains in the latest Switzerland election, by winning at least 20 per cent of the total votes that were casted in the election.

The counting process is still progressing.

As per a latest update, the SVP is still in the top position. The report says the Socialists and the Liberals have retained to the second and third positions respectively.

Yet, the notable fact is that all the aforesaid parties have lost their vote shares considerably. The SVP, the party which has been dominating the Swiss politics for several years, even has lost more than three per cent. The other parties have also suffered similar serious losses.

Though there is no change in the positions from the first to the third, there is a huge change in the case of the fourth position.

The Christian Democrats, which was one of the four major parties in the Swiss coalition government, have been pushed away, and its position has been grabbed by the Greens.

If the things progress this way, the Greens for the first time will get a seat in the coalition government this time.

Climate change was the main issue that was discussed during the election campaign.

It seems that the discussion of the climate change during the campaign has worked hugely in favour of the Greens.

The preliminary indication of the result is that the anti-immigration rhetoric of the SVP has not been received well by the voters of Switzerland.
