I did not do a Coronavirus update yesterday; although, my
official blog post did note a super-spreader in Singapore, making a cluster of
21. Super-spreaders are people that are genetically or otherwise more
contagious than other people. The cluster’s origin is a church called the Grace
Assembly of God. The remaining crew of the Diamond Princess Cruise ship with
cleared to disembark. The cluster of Coronavirus cases in this situation is
much worse than Singapore with the number totaling 621.
I have more numbers to share that I crunched for you on my
report. Currently there is a slightly less than 20% recovery rate. 15% of them with
a count of 11,200 people are in severe or critical condition. These numbers are
scary as the death toll surpasses 2000. The detection of cases are not reducing
it has consistently been over 100 daily. I hope that the total cases count
softens the fear, since it is about 75,300 as a high majority of the infected
people are in mainland China.
Before I go into a more in-depth study that I did on
Turkey’s international relations. I would like to start in Africa again. Another
incident of deaths was conducted by the Herdsmen in Nigeria, killing two
soldiers. I looked into this more because I wanted to know the cause of the
clashing with the villages. The incident was carried out in Plateau, and the
conflict is a fight of resources such as “vegetation, water resources, and
land” according to ResearchCyber. The Herdsmen are nomadic, and the village may
not appreciate their trespassing, eating their vegetation, and drinking their
water. The nomadic lifestyle is of ancient practice, and land rights have been
a modern concern to fight over.
The town of Birao in the Central African Republic, which is
protected by the government and UN peacekeepers and troops, was invaded by a
large militia called the Popular Front for the Rebirth of Central Africa;
however, the UN troops successfully defended the town, not losing one soldier.
The FPRC were repelled, and 12 of their men were killed. Most of the country of
CAR, the Central African Republic, is controlled by militias and rebel groups,
and a quarter of the nearly 5 million population of the country has been
displaced due to the years of instability.
Pestilences plague the eastern African countries of Sudan,
Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The
pestilence are rapidly breeding locust. South Sudan is the most recent
expansion of their breeding ground. Kenya this week conducted training of their
soldiers to fight against the invading pests. Food is scarce as it is in some
of these African nations, and they need to protect their agriculture.
Articles today peaked my interest about Turkey because they
are very active. They have been accused of mingling with other countries
affairs. I reported yesterday that Turkey was shipping weapons to Libya, and
they are well known for playing a prominent supporter of the rebellion against
Assad. Turkey has openly backed Pakistan too. India claim that it assists
terrorism; although, the group has not been blacklisted yet. The issue is that
there are no country borderlines between China, Pakistan, and India. It
surprised me when I looked at Google maps at the Southwest corner of China
merges with India and Pakistan. Turkey does not believe that India’s claim to
Kashmir is true; therefore, they are supporting Pakistan.
