By The Voice of Russia | For several years that experts are trying to convince bokesdozen the world that the climate change on the planet is one of the main causes of the revolutions and armed groups in countries in Africa and the Middle East conflict .
Indeed, the age-old conflict in the poor countries of the South are deteriorating due to climate warming. Speaking of Sudan, Sorcha O'Callaghan, Institute bokesdozen of Development Overseas (Overseas Development Institute) in Britain said in 2007: "Global warming has become such a buzzword that all Events in this country are explained by climate change "[It [global warming] HAS Become Such a trendy outcome being white That Everything is packaged as climate change.]
The head of the Center for Climate and Security (Center for Change and Security) Francesco Femia showed bokesdozen last year in the pages of the Washington Post that global warming has played a major role in the "Arab Spring" and the Syrian conflict . According to Femia, five years of drought have significantly depleted rural Syria, causing a massive rural exodus
"Farmers and ranchers become poor, composed this massive wave of internal migration, mainly to the outskirts of cities. Arrived bokesdozen in these cities, they did not have sustainable bokesdozen livelihoods, particularly because of the influx of Iraqi and Palestinian refugees in the country. "
"We can not say that climate change has caused a civil war," nuance later Francesco Femia. bokesdozen "But we can say that severe weather was one of the causes of this instability. "
The expert from the Center for Climate and Security adds that global warming significantly affects the civil war in Syria. The drought ended in this region. And according to a Syrian businessman, the rainy season, as in 2013, could have brought a harvest of 4 million tons of grain, fully ensuring the livelihood of the people of the country for a year or two, according to the forecast more optimistic.
However, at present, the Syrian people are hungry and thirsty, not because of nature, but because of humans. While some farmers remain trapped in besieged cities, irrigation systems are partly destroyed and the areas considered the "breadbasket" of the country are under the control of rebels or have become combat zones . Thousands of tons of wheat is stored in warehouses, which are located in these regions. Before the war, nearly three-quarters of the crop was sold to the state that subsidized wheat production. Currently, farmers are afraid to carry their harvest in cities starving because of fighting and looting with numerous checkpoints. And rebels do not want to solve this humanitarian crisis by preventing the passage of convoys carrying food aid in areas under their control.
Accordingly, as announced by the Secretary General of the UN Ban Ki-moon, a total of 9 million people need humanitarian assistance in Syria, bokesdozen while a few years ago, the country was self-sufficient. Currently the UN request $ 6.5 billion for humanitarian aid to Syria. bokesdozen Aid to Syria during the drought required less funds, but that money was used for other purposes.
Clumsy attempts to oust Bashar al-Assad in the political arena and put a spoke in the wheels of Iran resulted in the death of 130,000 people and the suffering of millions of Syrian civilians. It is unlikely that the forces of nature may have caused an important humanitarian harm to this country. As the person
