HISTORY
OF THE END OF THE WORLD
TO
BE REBORN AMIDST THE RUINS
86
billion dollars is
needed to rebuild Iraq, after the wars, that struck this country. The
so-called “donorcountries” hesitate over the funding. I would
too, 86 billion dollars is only the beginning and the present war is
not over yet. And what about the other countries around the world,
that are in need of strong support: Afghanistan, Haiti, Libie, Yemen
and, not to forget Syria.
This
country is constantly being bombed by the government, Iran, Turkey,
Israel, Jordan, Libanon and of course us: USA, Britain, France en of
course US. The Kingdom of the Netherlands. And let's not forget
Russia, who support the Assad-regime. On the battlefield we find,
Syrian, Russian, Turkish and allied troops. They bomb and fight
eachother supported by several rebelgroups, Kurds, El Qa'ida and IS.
In
the last weeks, a transporthelicopter, an Iranian drone and an
Israeli jetfighter have been shot down. Russian mercenaries were
killed during American airstrikes. The tensions are rising, while
Palestinian rockets are lauched towards Israel.
I
wonder how many billions of dollars will be needed when, when the
dust settles and peace will fill the lands, Syria has to be rebuild.
When will residents of Syria, Afghanistan, Libia, Yemen and Iraq have
a future.
And
for what?
How
many lives, money, schools, hospitals, houses. infrastructure and
culture has been destroyed. What a different world we could have had,
when we had followed the path of Peace.
And
the end of all of this is not even in sight.
