What is Today’s Globe?
You’ve probably heard of Liberia and Saudi Arabia but what’s going on in the rest of the world? The answer may surprise you. The World Factbook has information on more than two hundred countries, and each of them is equally important. However, you might be surprised to know that these countries have a lot in common, too. This article will highlight a few of them. Here are some examples:What is todays globe
Saudi Arabia
President Donald Trump is tipped off that Saudi Arabia is today’s globe, but is it possible? The world leader and two other world leaders tapped a glowing orb on Thursday, igniting a social media frenzy that turned into science fiction jokes. The three world leaders also sat together and held hands to start the film. But the world leaders have been busy in other matters. The Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology, which will monitor extremist speech and activities, opened in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, isn’t just a tourist destination.
Its aim is to strengthen cooperation among anti-corruption law enforcement authorities. The Riyadh Initiative, which was launched by Saudi Arabia, includes 55 countries and 92 anti-corruption agencies. The network will be launched in June 2021 at the UN headquarters in Vienna. Spain will serve as the chair and Saudi Arabia will serve as the vice-chair. The Riyadh Initiative is a great first step in international cooperation against corruption.
The world’s tallest building is already in the Middle East, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. But the new world record for tall buildings could come from Saudi Arabia. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a royal and member of the Saudi royal family, has announced plans to build a skyscraper in Jeddah near the Gulf coast. His skyscraper has been partially completed. The money that Saudi Arabia receives from the higher oil prices will likely go towards construction of Neom. The Public Investment Fund, which Prince Mohammed chairs, is responsible for the current world record-holder and owner of the world’s tallest building.
Liberia
In today’s world, the country of Liberia occupies a unique position. Its terrain ranges from low, sandy coastal plains to dissected plateaus further inland. The lush rainforest is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The country is also the host to numerous international and domestic refugees. Its capital, Monrovia, was founded in 1822.
The recent outbreak of ethnic violence in neighboring countries has intensified as the country’s government supports rebel operations. While foreign governments pushed Taylor into exile in August, the savagery of the nation’s people cannot be blamed solely on U.S. intervention. The cause of this country’s instability lies in its exploitation of the natives by imperialists. Inequality, economic stagnation and political freedom have hampered development.
The population of Liberia reflects its migration history. In recent decades, overcrowding has forced migrants from north-central Africa to the coast. Eventually, immigrants from the United States, the West Indies, and neighbouring African countries settled in the capital, Monrovia. As roads and mining activities spread, scattered settlements developed along them. The influx of migrants eventually led to the development of larger settlements in the interior and coastal regions. In today’s globe, Liberia has more than 2,000 villages, the majority of which are located in the northwest and coastal regions near the capital.
The American treatment of Liberia varied according to the era. During the Second World War, the rubber industry was vital for the war effort. The country’s strategic importance as a rubber producer during the war was further augmented by U.S. bayonets. The result was a deteriorating society and an unsustainable economy. The war in Liberia, however, triggered an unsettling change in the country’s political and social landscape.
The United Nations’ Acting High Commissioner for Human Rights, Bertrand Ramcharan, presented an emergency report to the Commission on Human Rights on 24 June. In the meantime, Liberia accepted the Second Optional Protocol to the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR) – the first country in the world to ratify this treaty. Optional Protocol 2 seeks to abolish the death penalty. In the meantime, a number of Liberian and international nongovernmental organizations are working to bring justice for victims of this violence.
In 2005, the country’s first post-conflict elections were held. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected as president, making her the first woman to hold a post-conflict presidency in Africa. However, the country still faces some challenges, as it is a largely undeveloped country. Fortunately, the new government is working to change this and improve the country’s economic development. However, the country still remains a poor and underdeveloped nation, which has many opportunities for businessmen and investors.
The country’s government remains in the hands of Americo-Liberians. While some democratization took place during the reign of William Tubman, the former president oversaw increased foreign exploitation of the country’s resources and helped the U.S. in the Cold War. Meanwhile, another president, William Tolbert, supported reform and allowed political activism and workers’ organizations to grow. However, both of them were assassinated.
The government is making an effort to improve the educational system in Liberia. To that end, Bridge Liberia, an NGO, is working to help the government with its ambitious Education Transformation Program. The NGO is working with the Liberian government to implement the LEAP programme, which is supporting 350 public primary schools in Liberia. The number of schools Bridge supports is significant, accounting for 64% of the programme.
Du Bois and others who backed the project in the 1920s imagined an industrial plantation based on mutual dependence and prosperity. They proposed to Harvey Firestone that the company should reject the strict color line and instead hire black management from the United States and Liberia. The black managers would ensure that the plantation benefited both countries. Du Bois also believed that African Americans had enough political power to keep the company in check.
While it is true that the United States is the dominant power in today’s world, the British, and French were the main colonial powers in most of Africa. These sub-imperialisms are locked in a subtle battle with the U.S. to protect their political and economic interests. The French, British, and French, for example, have all built massive civilizations on the ruins of the ancient indigenous cultures.
