Recently, there have been tensions over political power between two major groups in Ivory Coast. Instead of a democratic process with voting, the two groups are using violence to take over the government. One of the group leaders, Alassane Outarra, has killed hundreds of civilians of Laurent Gbagbo. These two major groups are fighting over control, as citizens are claming Outarra had already lost, and see Gbagbo as a true democratic candidate. One of the problems that are rising are citizens of the Ivory Coast are beginning to blame the United Nations and other countries for accepting Outarra as a legitimate president. There is a civil war as hundreds are dying over the political struggle. This struggle has occurred for more than four years when Outarra won presidency, but has refused to step down after re-election. One of the things that baffled the U.N. is one of its helicopters was shot down by Outarra forces. People have began fleeting major cities as the struggle has become worse. I see this as a problem for the United Nations and other countries. The United Nations is indecisive on who to support and seems that they first began supporting Outarra until recently. This is another issue over the United States international affairs. Sometimes I think they get involved with countries that will benefit them the most, mostly self interest. They had a few hesitations, but decided to get involved in Libya, my reason for oil.

I will admit people make decisions that help others or help themselves by interests. I am taking a history class right now and a lesson that stick to my head was how a country can escape a depression. The U.S. had experience the great depression as many people should know by now. By saying depression, people will quickly say make money and all should be fine. To response to the solution and make money for the society, check with the neighbours. A simple idea, even so, to make this work, a country has to go to war with another country for people to obtain jobs. War strives interest and get people all pumped to fight for a reason. What the reason might be can be a interest or because they just want a natural resource.
ReplyDeleteIgnore the previous one. I had a few grammar errors and I fixed them.

By saying depression, people will quickly say make money and all should be fine. To response to the solution and make money for the society, it is best to check with the neighbors. A simple idea, even so, I am talking about our country neighbor to make this work. A country has to go to war with another country for jobs to open and begin trade with other countries.
