MODERN BATTLEFIELD
Warfare exist in many forms and the present days is filled with many wars; internal and external attacks from invading countries. But this is not the Did you mean: supremacy of weapon of war, nor a country's military strength; if you missed my WWIII report for the blockchain-click below to see the ravaging battles going on:
WWIII- The War Within
In the past, warfare is strictly by bullets and explosives, chemical weapons and poisonous gases; survivors and the victims of war. The resultant effects is always the annihilation of a whole city, town, villages etc. Today, there are many wars been fought without Arsenals: some of this present days wars i will be illustrating further.
Crimes
This is the isle of all evil wars against humanity, a variety of crimes exists in the world; From Robbery to Homicide and from Kidnapping to Genocides. There was never a scale to any crime committed, a crime is a crime. Whether stealing from a grocery Store or Assassinating a country's President.
Hard to tell the motives to any crime, the end result is inevitable if the perpetrators are caught. Though crime rate in all the countries of the World defers, but it is still a Global menace that could never be ignored or taken with levity. What the Government of all this countries is doing to battle Crime rate remains political strategy- but it is a Global War that needs a joint ballistic Assaults!
Drugs
No country in existence is left out in this assault on humanity, it is a war raging from within to the international fronts. Drug trafficking is a major international business sponsored by some Governments and still combated by the same Government, making it a beast with several heads; as you behead one- dozens grows back in it's place!
This is a menace from all levels in many countries of the World, children now use drugs and are used to market and move it. These Drug Dealers leaves their kids in some foreign country and engage other children as covers in their appalling illicit trades- Nobody or less attention is paid to a kid, hence an easy drug shipping mechanism.
Cocaine, Heroine, Cannabis etc all have their medicinal values when used proportionally in drug administrations, but in an uncontrolled situations with no regulations and dosage, this had toppled crime rates in millions of communities. An over dose renders all human consciousness dead producing vulnerable crime motivated multitude.
The fight against hard drugs and it's over use is a major war against civilization that had been raging for years without cease fire!
Human Trafficking
Known as another form of slave trade- Modern Slavery.
Taking people, children, women unsolicited to another location for profit making had rendered many lives miserable and lost. We have heard news of a whole ship laden with Traffickees capsizing without any survivors!
Sadly several people from developing nations do not know this before embarking on a "Journey to a better place" from their individual country of residence, they fall prey and a little too late before they realized they have been sold by some agents.
- SEX SLAVES
Most of this unsuspected trafficked victims are used for some despicable things upon getting to the foreign lands where they have been shipped to. Sex machines, play toys etc with threats to be killed or rendered to the authorities as they do not have legal means to ascertain their existence in those countries.
- CHILD LABOR
Very common in developing countries, kids are used for production processes without pay or an extremely cheap one, exposing this children to health and environmental hazards. Every country trying as much as possible to combat the rate of trafficking which had claimed many lives as earlier stated.
Corruption
This is one of the oldest wars, deadliest as it has evolved with time; dated back to time immemorial when Judas took Bribes to betray Christ!
Centuries later, Bribery and corruption have become the catalyst to the crumbling of any Nation. A canker-worm that hampers the growth and development of the future Generations raging from the days of our past.
A war of moral against commitments, only a few had conquer this beast known as CORRUPTION!
The requirement to combat in this Modern Battle are no sophisticated devices and gadgets; it is a battle of will among humans all over the World!
