Yemen has been a victim of civil war since the past few years.During this period ,more than 6200 people lost their lives. About 2.5 million people lost their homes and are forced to a life of poverty .The Houthi rebels are fighting against pro-Iran Saudi fighters. As well as some extremist groups, including Al-Qaeda have been fighting here for the pursuit of their interests. Houthi rebels took over the capital of Yemen,Sana.They forced the President Mansour Hadi to flee.
In this fight for power ,the Government troops and Emirati allies of Yemen have enjoyed a great success. They compelled Al-Qaida and have freed the country's largest oil export terminal .
The coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, has changed its strategy because earlier they had made pro-Houthi tribes Iran as the center of their attention.It has now started surrounding al-Qaida and other extremist organizations. One reason for this is that Saudi alliance has made an agreement of temporary ceasefire with Yemen tribes. The coalition,led by Saudi Arabia continued their operation against the military extremists for 48 hours. This alliance had also deprived al-Qaeda extremists of their state which they had founded around the important port city 'Al Makalah'.
When there was peace in Yemen ,about 80% of the oil reserves in Yemen were exported through this terminal.Yemen situation worsened and this terminal was closed. Al-Qaida took over this area.
An ambiguity is found about the fight that took place against Al-Qaeda.In this regard,many conflicting reports are coming on the scene. Arab unity has published a statement about this war saying
More than 800 Al-Qaeda fighters died in this combat.
On the other hand, Al Makalah citizens say that Al-Qaida fighters fled without fighting . Yemen's military sources said that nearly 30 Al-Qaeda militants were killed during the battle.The local residents also said that the elders and tribal leaders negotiated with Al-Qaeda fighters and persuaded them to leave this area .On which the al-Qaeda members cleared the area and moved to the western province of Shabu .
Local administration said that packs of about 2000 troops ,consisting of Yemeni's and Emirati allies, entered Al-Makalah for a big operation who have taken control over the Airports and the ports by taking this area out of the hands of Al-Qaida.They have also set up their check-posts here. Because of the two weeks of a temporary armistice between Houthi rebels and Arab unity the path of negotiation has been softened.It is expected that both factions/parties will try to negotiate a peaceful solution to the problem of Yemen.
In Syria's civil war more than a million civilians were killed while many were wounded and maimed.American conflict has displaced more than 20 million people. A person performing duties as a commander near Damascus said that he believe the President Bashar al-Asad will get over Syria's civil war. But now it seems that our another generation will be ruined in overcoming civil war.
On one side,the talks of the future of Syria are taking place and on the other side Russia and America are waiting to break Syria into parts .There was a time when Syria was of great importance among the Arab countries.But now it has broken apart. There was a time when Syria provided full support to the Iraqi insurgents against US occupation.
According to United Nations ,nearly one million 79 lacs people are still living in Syria .
Before the war, the number was 2 million and 5 lacs. Of these people 60 million people have migrated to safer areas within the country.After leaving the cities they are living a rural life from the cities. According to the UN, almost one million and 35 lacs people are in urgent need of help ,while it is difficult to reach 45 lac people because they are in areas such as "Ryzalzur".
Five-year civil war has destroyed Syria's economy. According to The Syrian Center for Policy Research, the cost of war is $ 255 billion. The unemployment rate is over 50 percent in the country and Syrian families are desperate for a two-time food.About 70 percent of the population is facing extreme poverty
The Aid goes to the black market or its manzil becomes the confirmed/selected areas of the government. The news of the death of people due to hunger are coming from different areas of Damascus A large number of citizens are becoming a victim of diseases due to a significant reduction in the number of doctors.
Syria's war has destroyed the education system.25 percent of the schools in the country have been destroyed while 25 thousand teachers have left their jobs.40 percent students are not going to school because the war has made their future uncertain.
The country's industrial city "Syria" has been completely destroyed.Those citizens who have survived are living in anxiety. The number of fighters is dwindling because a ceasefire has been declared, but it has not been fully implemented.
After the partial ceasefire, the position Assad's has been strengthened .Hence,some days earlier he clearly said there is no chance of a new government.But he can think about the inclusion of an opposition in a mixed government. After the talks, the ball is again in Bashar al-Asad court.
The image of Pakistan, as well as Pakistanis, is not so good.But Pakistanis prove that they can do anything. Even they don't refrain from historical achievement.They establish a separate nation,despite the opposition of the English and the Indians.India explodes the atom bomb ,in its answer Bhutto swears that we will make Atom Bomb ,even if we have to eat the grass.And then Pakistanis succeed in making the Atom Bomb without eating any grass.The whole world was startled that how a country,exporting needle to cycle ,achieved such success ? Two Pakistanis ,Docter Abdul Qadeer Khan, and Malala Yousafzai also achieved noble prize .In every field of Pakistan ,the question of lack of an effective system is raised.But in this part of the world, such people are born who are capable of making wonders in their fields.
Sadiq Khan is a son of a bus driver.But he has defeated the billionaire of the Conservatives party.He is the first Muslim mayor of London.
Usually, good news doesn't come from the West about Pakistan. Even though , the news of the selection of Pakistan-born as a Mayor of London has surprisingly amazed the Pakistanis.The news of Pakistanis money laundry keeps coming from London.The have been accused of terrorism.London media have been displaying such pictures in which they are not defined as human rather as beasts.But ,by choosing Sadiq Khan as mayor, the residents of London have proved that Media doesn't have much impact on one's opinion and in developed societies, people are capable of concluding freely.
There was once an era when the whole world was ruled from London and It was thought that the Brittish empire will never end.As the time passed on it has been reduced to London.Even though,the international importance of London is still.Today also it is listed in the world's important cities.For instance,Whenever Pakistani politicians want treatment or whenever they want to live the life of exile then their favourite city is London.London is a city of the English ,but it is such a city where you will survive without speaking English in some of its sectors.
Sadiq Khan's Road to Politics :
Sadiq Khan belongs to the Labour party.His victory has ended the eight-year government of the Conservatives.Sadiq Khan says
He never even dreamt that he would become the Mayor of London
Sadiq Khan's story is an unusual tale of struggle and perseverance.His Grandfather migrated from India at the time of Independence and came to London just before the birth of Khan.His late father Imanullah Khan worked as a bus driver for more than 25 years.Sadiq Khan also remembers his childhood today.His mother and father used to work day and night.Sadiq himself started working early in his youth.He worked as a labour on different buildings.This family was living a life of struggle in London ,but they never forgot their poor relatives in Pakistan.They used to send them money regularly so that their relatives should find comfort from their hard work.They were very hard days of life.His family was living in a three bedroom flat.
Sadiq wanted to become a dentist.He chose science and mathematics subjects in his A-levels.But one his teacher was greatly impressed by his reasoned views.He advised Sadiq to become a Lawyer.In this way , he arrived at the University of North London to study law.Afterwards, he also remained a visiting lecturer in this college.Sadiq started practising law in London.He handled such cases in which the Police has abused ,in which there were the problems of the unemployed and in which someone faced some prejudiced behaviour.He earned immense fame from such cases.
In London , he became famous as an expert in law,who was a champion of human's rights and was adept in using the tongue of reasoning in order to provide the victims their right.After advocatory ,Politics was waiting for Sadiq Khan.In 1994,he started his career as a counselor.In 2003,he tried to become a contender for the seat of MPA and then in 2005 he was elected as a member of the Parliment.Sadiq Khan political career also speaks of his story of courage.He used to give long speeches on the subject of Islamic terrorism.In 2005,he was awarded on his brilliant performance in the parliament.In August 2006, he earned fame by signing the letter ,written to Tony Blair, in which Government's kharja Policy was criticised.
In 2010,Sadiq Khan was again elected the member of Parliament . He remained the campaign leader of David Milli Band's Labour leadership campaign. In the elections of 2015 , Sadiq Khan was elected the member of Parliament for the third time.During Gordon Brown's government Sadiq Khan also remained Minister of State of Communities. In 2009 ,he attended a meeting of the Cabinet as Minister of State's Transport. In the 2010 elections, Sadiq Khan remained in 100 major politicians of London. He had his own opinion on every level which he confidently expressed . Sadiq Khan told the world that
My name is Sadiq Khan and I am the Mayor of London
It is an honor that Sadiq Khan has got from his hard work. British democracy is appreciated around the world ,It is tried to be followed because it has examples like Sadiq Khan. British democracy provides opportunities of higher education for the children of a poor driver. Open the doors of politics for him.Sadiq Khan becomes the part of a government that has the status of an example in promoting democracy in the world. Here Sadiq Khan slams his talent, genius, and courage. The system is not becoming an obstacle in his way. It is continuously providing opportunities to him and he is now the mayor of London. He is giving a message of hope to the citizens of London. After his election, he said
I am proud that London has chosen hope over fear. The politics of fear is not welcome in our city.
During the election, the Conservatives kept alleging him a lot. Sadiq Khan contested the London's elections against Jemima Khan's brother . Jemima Khan took part in the election campaign of his brother Zac Goldsmith. Jemima congratulated Sadiq Khan after the election and said he is a great example for young Muslims.
Sadiq Khan insists that he is a representative of every person living in London and will prove it through his actions. After his victory Sadiq Khan vowed to work for every person living in London but the effects of the Goldsmith's campaign in London remain. During his campaign ,Sadiq Khan was criticized by Zac for being , a Muslim. He said
the selection of Sadiq Khan as the mayor will provide a platform to Muslim extremists.
London election results have proved that a negative campaign can never have positive results . Zac Goldsmith has not only lost the election of London's mayorship but also, the British media is predicting that the doors of politics have been closed for him.
On tremendous success of Sadiq Khan's ,we can not stay without saying that now our dear country needs leaders like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan ,Allama Muhammad Iqbal and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah who have the ability and courage to change the course of history ,And after Sadiq Khan being elected as a mayor of London it is not wrong to keep expectations from this nation.
