Eco-road to human salvation
No news is good news. Call it a double entendre, a pun or play of words, whatever you will. But the phrase has never rung so true than in these times of media blitz. The world is caught in the web of perpetual crises, with almost every attempt to end one resulting in another and perhaps deeper crisis.
Crisis seems to have become the byword from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Palestine to Syria, from Somalia to South Sudan, from Egypt to Ukraine, from the United States to the European Union, and from India to China. If some countries are battling political upheavals, others are struggling with economic problems while most are facing environmental dilemmas.
Iraq and Afghanistan continue to be the powder kegs they have been during the past decade. Somalia has been joined by South Sudan and some other African nations on the human crisis list. Egypt continues to simmer as Ukraine boils to the brim because of the tug of war between Western powers and Russia.
