Kan lagi sibuk mikir gimana bisa nutupin kebejadan sendiri di NKRI, misalnya soal korupsi di Depag atau PD.

As a result, something akin to >Frankenstein’s monster emerged, and could only be controlled by a war that is >still ongoing. > >In Afghanistan the Taliban - in alliance with al-Qaeda - took advantage of the >state of chaos that prevailed after the collapse of the communist government >there, and the conflicts between various Mujahedeen warlords. The same thing >has happened in the north of Mali; a country that has recently witnessed a >military coup against the president, sparking chaos and leaving a vacuum that >is being exploited by Tuareg separatists in the north, some of whom were >previously used by Gaddafi in Libya to demand independence for the north [of >Mali]. From the outset, the Tuareg allied with extremist groups with >ideologies similar to that of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, who then abandoned >them and began to impose their own agenda and control over north Mali, seizing >control of the historic city of Timbuktu, which has played an important role >in Islamic history and which houses mosques dating back to the 15th century. > >Who finances, trains and arms these groups? This is an open question that >needs to be answered. Yet what is certain is that these movements are like >locusts; invading the land and leaving it barren and ruined, only to move onto >another area to spread their destruction. > >The worrying thing is that this is happening on the doorstep of Arab >countries, as Mali borders the Arab Maghreb. There is also a belt of these >extremist groups that are being formed in the Arab countries currently >experiencing changes and political instability, or in neighboring states, >adding a new worrying dimension to the region’s problems. > >Let us look at the map and how “terrorism gains” have been exchanged between >the al-Shabab movement in Somalia and other extremist movements, most notably >al-Qaeda in southern Yemen, to the extent that the Yemeni army was summoned to >wage a war - with international assistance - in order to restore the seized >cities in the south. Today the extremist hotspots on the map have expanded; >there is now northern Mali, whilst Nigeria – another country not too far from >the Arab world – suffers from the extremist group Boko Haram, which is also >waging a war of terror to impose its radical ideology on the country. >Extremist groups are also active in the Sahel region of Africa on the outer >borders of the Maghreb in particular, taking advantage of political rivalries, >forever unresolved border disputes, and the inability of the Arab Maghreb >Union [AMU] to coordinate and pursue a cooperative, unified policy in the >fight against terrorism. It also appears that extremist groups are exploiting the security vacuum in the Egyptian Sinai region to operate from there. > >I commend the actions of the International Criminal Court [ICC], whose >spokesperson threatened Ansar Dine in northern Mali with prosecution for war >crimes because they have destroyed historic mosques and Islamic shrines, but >this is not enough. These groups are governed by a sick ideology, and there >must be coordinated international and regional work to pursue them, along the >lines of what is happening now in Yemen. It would be best if the AMU states >capable of doing so assumed the mantle, coordinating and delegating >responsibilities to besiege these groups which will represent a real threat to >them in the future, and a real source of problems if they are left unchecked. >We do not want to see the day when news cameras show groups like this >destroying historic monuments in an Arab capital. > >[Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
