Root Cause Analysis: 2023 Las Anod conflict

 Hello there!  So, I've been looking into the 2023 Las Anod conflict and wanted to share with you what I found. According to various media reports and sources, it seems like there's a root cause analysis we can do to better understand what happened. Oh, did you know that Las Anod has been under Somaliland's control since 2007? They actually kicked out the Puntland army from the regional capital with the help of local militia. Oh wow, it's been reported that the security situation in Somaliland has gotten worse. According to the Raad Peace Research Institute, around 120 important clan and community leaders have been assassinated in the city between 2007 and 2022. So in December 2022, there were a bunch of civil demonstrations and unrest happening in the Sool region. People were feeling like they were being left out of the political process in Somaliland, and that's what was driving all the commotion. Oh, did you hear about the pro...

Complex Co-Existence of Pakistan and India

 Intricacies of the Relationship Explored Pakistan and India share a rich yet intricate history that has spanned decades. These two nations have been entwined in a rivalry characterized by animosity and tension. The origins of this animosity lie deep within the historical narratives of both countries.  In the modern era, the propagation of misinformation and propaganda, primarily through social media and other digital avenues, has fueled and intensified this antagonistic sentiment. Propaganda's Disturbing Consequences:  Impact on Youth and Society The most disconcerting aspect of this propaganda is its influence on the younger generation. Pakistani children, from a tender age, are exposed to content that portrays India and its people in a negative light. These messages are carefully crafted to demonize  India and those who follow religions different from Islam. This deliberate manipulation plants seeds of enmity and hostility within impressionable minds, fostering a ...

The Power of Reflecting back: How it can Improve Your Thought Process

Yes , my reflections on my own life ...  The adage "age is just a number" is frequently used to characterise people who have achieved much in life despite their elderly years. 🎉 I take comfort in this proverb as I approach my midlife crisis; it serves as a constant reminder that I am not limited by my chronological age. ⏳ I've spent a lot of time thinking and reflecting on how to improve my actions and routines over the course of my life. 💭 While I have had some success in this area, I estimate that 80-90% of my deliberate endeavours have failed. 😔 I've been unable to find happiness in life due to several undesirable behaviours and characteristics of my own. After giving it some thought, I've come up with a few causes for my difficulties. My inability to get things done quickly, for example, is due in large part to my lack of self-discipline and procrastination. 🤦‍♀️ The fact that I'm too chicken to explore traditional things has also stunted my developmen...

Watered fermented fenugreek: How it impacts cow dung bricks

🤔 Yes, it's possible that fermented fenugreek mixed with water could increase the rate of the chemical reaction between lime and cow dung material. When fenugreek is fermented, it produces organic acids such as acetic acid and lactic acid, which can act as catalysts and lower the activation energy required for the reaction. Additionally, the fermentation process can produce carbon dioxide gas (CO2), which can react with lime to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3), strengthening the final material. However, it's important to note that the exact effect of fermented fenugreek on the properties of cow dung brick would depend on the specific conditions and concentrations used. Further research and testing would be needed to fully understand its effects. 💡                                                             ...
