Humanitari­an disaster

- Dewan Chand, jyotip@fijisun.com.fj

The world has become a global village and happenings in one region affect the other regions of the globe.

The Russian-Ukrainian war has entered the tenth month and there seems to be no end to fighting.

It was hoped that the two parties would agree to peace talks which may have led to the end of the conflict.

But the conditions put forward by President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, were unacceptab­le to the Russians.

Thus, the war continues and Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian energy and water infrastruc­ture.

Winter has set in and Russia is accused of weaponisin­g the cold conditions.

Ukrainians are suffering untold misery as winter tightens its grip and the Russians continue to bombard energy and water infrastruc­ture.

NATO allies are scrambling to supply generators and heating equipment as the humanitari­an disaster unfolds. But this is insufficie­nt to protect the Ukrainians.

People continue to suffer in most inhumane conditions.

The United Nations is caught flat footed unable to stop the suffering.

It is difficult to believe that it is happening in our time. It is mind boggling!

Namaka Market carpark Ajai Kumar, Nadi

The Namaka market carpark has recently been upgraded with additional parking spaces created.

There is also a new booth for car park attendant and or cashier, but they are not in use; perhaps awaiting a grand opening by a Minister.

Isn’t the town council losing parking revenue by not collecting parking fees?

Which stability? Tarun Tikaram, Lami

Biman Prasad says his government would provide stability.

Sitiveni Rabuka was the one who caused instabilit­y and destabilis­ed our country and now Biman has the gumption to tell us that he will provide stability.

It was Honourable Voreqe Bainimaram­a who has provided stability and economic recovery and growth for the last 16 years.
