Hundreds have been delivered to a camp called Karakax. The resistance against the Uighur Muslims claims that they are terrorists.

Herdsman clash with villages in Nigeria
On following up on the Nigerian Fulani Herdsmen and village conflict, Herdsmen are suspected in the killing of 2 soldiers in Plateau.[61] I found that the conflict is based on a difference of lifestyle, yet both need rights for common resources such as “vegetation, water resources and land.”[62] The herdmen are nomadic, which seek to obtain the resources freely, as the villages seek to own the land and resources.
Turkey’s international relations
I am learning that there are dominant countries that supply weapons, supposedly mingling with the affairs of the countries. I noticed that Turkey is more dominant than people may realize. Looking into it, I found that India has accused Turkey of interfering with their affair in the province of J&K, who is backing Pakistan. J&K stands for Jammu and Kashmir.[63] I was surprised to find on Google maps that the borders between India, Pakistan, and China are not clearly defined in this region. India calls Pakistan’s works in Kashmir a support of terrorism. It also may be Turkey, supporting Pakistan to firm up the borderlines. I observed a report from Monday that Turkey told China not to label Uighur Muslim people terrorists. Yesterday I reported that a shipment of weapons to Libya was intercepted and destroyed. Turkey is well known to be key for the rebels work in Syria.

United Nations Theme
Many regions of Yemen has been taken over by the Houthi revolutionaries as the former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi is in asylum in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has been seeking to restore him to presidency. The Houthi rebels are blocking “half of the United Nations aid delivery programs”, and they are demanding more responsibility over the humanitarian effort involving the allocation of billions of dollars. The regions of the country under Houthi control seek to implement policies to guide the UN humanitarian aid, which they have rejected. The rebels reduced their requirements to concessions last week after a 2% cut of the funds for months. UN replied on Thursday, saying they will scale down their humanitarian aid, if the Houthi rebel continue to limit their access. The country is war-torn and many are dependent on international aid.[66]
UN reports today that their efforts to provide aid to the South Sudan people are blocked as well, and they are accusing the warring sides of “deliberately starving” people to their strategic advantage. About half of the nation of 6 million people are going hungry. Millions of dollars are used for personal gain by many officials.[67]
Locust Pestilence
Yesterday I reported on the struggle that eight eastern African nations are struggling with the pestilence of locusts. Pakistan is also enduring the same hardship. The Indian nation has had to implement measures to stop their invasion, and they are currently successful in their efforts. They are purchasing “drones and specialist equipment to monitor the movement of locusts and spray insecticides to ward off a new outbreak” according to Times of India. A small swarm can consume the food of 35,000 people in one day.[68]

The four others are the following: “Abbas Ali Kadkhodaei, Siamak Rahpeyk, Mohammad Hasan Sadeghi Moghadam and Mohammad Yazdi. The United States does not approve of how the election is being conducted.[78]
Syrian rebel attack fails
Although the Syrian rebel’s attack failed yesterday, their airstrikes killed more than 50 of Syrian soldiers on the front at Idlib in northwestern Syria.[79]

South Sudan has taken a crucial step to a united government as Riek Machar has agreed to be the vice president of President Salvar Kiir. Riek Machar will be sworn-in to his new role on Saturday. He will be the president’s fifth vice president. The negotiation between the opposing parties included “the dissolution of all institutions at national and state levels.”[80] They have a lot of work to do ahead of them to appoint new officials throughout the country.
Colombian drug trafficking intercepted at Panama
Panama’s National Aeronaval Service observed a semi-submersible vessel on a patrol. They discovered that it was a Colombian delivery of 5 tons of drugs. 4 were arrested.

Today is the second day of new cases over 400 as South Korea counts 229. 200 of the newly infected were related to the Daegu church super-spreader at the Shincheonji church of Jesus.[83] One of the reported cases was an employee of Samsung at a small factory in the city of Gumi near the super-spreader event. They closed the facility down immediately at the discovery, placing his close colleagues on self-quarantine.[84]

Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi, a well-known filmmaker, in Myanmar was sentence to one year in August last year for criticizing the military on Facebook, and he was released seven months later after possible justice reform as he says that “The prison law in Myanmar is out of date and needs to be replaced.”[85]
Algeria protests
The ruling elite of Algeria have been facing a year of pressure to step down as the demonstrators “mark the first anniversary of a protest movement.”[86] In April 2019 President Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned after ruling for five four year terms, totaling twenty years, due to the movement.[87]
US withdraws troops from Iran
Around 3000 troops of the United States army are returning home from “Iran and its proxies in the region” including Iraq and Kuwait. They are members of the “rapid-response force”, who were called in “the most significant no-notice deployment of military forces in more than 30 year” according to the 82nd Airborne Division Facebook page.[88] These troops were sent to help relieve tension as a result of the Iran backed attack at the US embassy on December 31, 2019.[89]
Afghan “Reduction in Violence” prepares for peace deal
Although the Taliban and the United State have confirmed to sign an agreement on February 29, 2020 in Afghanistan, the Taliban attacked the Afghan forces in the Balkh province on the first day of their ‘week-long “reduction in violence”. “The incidents did not spark immediate alarm on either side” according to Reuters.[90] “The violence reduction period” still seems to be possible to be successful.
