We see theocracies and
autocracies in Middle East and we see
autocracies in Latin America and Africa. These are the countries that have oil
or minerals needed by technologically developed countries . These natural
resources cannot be bargained easily if there be democracy. The autocrats and
theocrats develop symbiotic relationship with powerful ally who helps by
providing intelligence, military support and by crushing people’s uprisings.
The religion in Middle East is used to legitimize autocracy and family rule and
helps the powerful ally in need of oil and natural resources.
The technologically developed countries have big
business and strong military. When human labour was needed, they captured
Blacks and transported them. The powerful governments are matched by parallel
crime syndicates engaged in trafficking of men, women and children and in drugs
trafficking. These crime syndicates are very well mixed with governments –
politicians, bureaucrats, police, military and custom all have one or other in
their pay roll. Then there is taking away of animal parts and plant products. In
British India, when it was in interest of British to discourage cotton
production, they forced farmers to cultivate indigo. Similarly, other cash
crops like tobacco, opium, tea, coffee were forcibly cultivated in place of
food crops. Many minerals are required in modern telecommunication and IT
industries that are found in Africa and Latin America and extraction of many
such minerals is hazardous to health and for that men, women and children of
those countries are forced to do labour under bayonets of guns. So not only
minerals and natural resources are being plundered , the poor and weak citizens
have to do forced labour and suffer the hazards.
These things are happening daily and continuously
for years and governments, media and citizens of powerful countries remain
unconcerned and enjoy the fruits of plunders done by their business and
military and mafias.
What is solution ?
Modern World needs oil, minerals and natural
resources and these must be procured with care and adequate compensation.
1. The UN must be strengthened and it will decide
quota of developed countries that will pay to concerned country and will also
aid in technological development, education and health development of local
people.
2.The crime syndicates must be crushed under UN
supervision and control – the involved politicians, bureaucrats, police,
military and custom must be brought to justice in international court.
3. UN must see that there be democracy and
secularism in every country and Universal Declaration of Human Rights be implemented
all over the World.
In reality, nation states have lost their relevance
as criminals and haters are running over most of the countries so first there
must be UN supervision and then dissolution of borders when mankind becomes
mature and enlightened and there be just management at different levels –
district, sector, region and global and no governance.
