Ukraine

Ukraine is facing one of the most terrible times that has happened in Ukraine's history! Wait... What do you mean you dont know what I am talking about? YOU DONT KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN UKRAINE?! Well... You have come to the right blog, my friend. Let it tell you what's going on.

Ukraine: A beautiful country located in the south east of Europe, surrounded by Belarus, Poland, the Black Sea, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, and last but not least, (this is important for you to remember in order to get to the Ukraine's crisis) Russia.

Shocked? Speechless? The question to answer is, What is the conflict in Ukraine?

Conflict: NOUN

Pronunciation: /ˈkänˌflikt

  

/

• 1a serious disagreement or argument, typically a protracted one:the eternal conflict between the sexesdoctors often come into conflict with politicians
  
• The conflict or disagreement here is between the people and its government, to be more specific Viktor Yanukovych.

• The disagreement comes from the action done by this man. Thing is that Ukraine, since is geographically located between the eastern culture of Europe and Russia, has been looking forward to orientiate the country into one of these sides. Since the country works under a democracy, the majority wanted the nation to go into the Eastern, which means getting more involved into the UE, but the president was doing all the contrary to what the people wanted. The government instead, was signing agreements with Putin's government because they are the main productors of Ukraine's gas, and was getting disinvolved into the UE by refutting a comercial agreement, Russia in appreciation for Ukraine's loyalty has give the nation a lot of funds that has helped the nation to recover from the economic crisis. But people do not like Ukraine being so involved to Russia and they much rather have their country to be more involved into the UE beacause they are afraid that joining the west will surely break their fundamental rights.

So thats when the people decided to go to the Independence Square and pacifically protested. But the government instead of listening to the opposition, they ordered the police to evacuate inmediately the place in violent ways, and as we know violence leads to more violence. And so the people, angry with their government actions to control the situation, decided to counter attack, and so the "civil war" started. I putted civil war in quotation marks because according to many experts, it isn't yet a civil war but it is in the edge of becoming one. 

That, my blogger-friend, is what's going on in Ukraine. Latest news inform that President Yanukovych disappeared from Ukraine, no one knows where he is now, and the parliament has agreed to dismiss Yanukovych from his position. Stick to the news, go ahead! Stay tuned to know how the plot in Ukraine is going on.

Syria, how did it end this way?

Do any of you know who is this guy? 

If the answer is yes, well then... YEAAH! But if you don't know who he is, then let me start telling you who he is by saying that this fella is the main reason why Syria is so screwed up right now. His name is Bashar al-Assad, born in September 11 of 1965, which means he is now 48 years old. He is best known for being Syria's president! So, how is he guilty about everything that's going on in Syria. Well, thing is that a few years ago a group of students were falsely arrested, this provoked a reaction from the people to ask for release to the students, but instead they got tortured. So the people went to the streets to protest peacefully and the government in reply ordered the army to attack them and some people got killed. Horrific, isn't it? But to things couldn't got worst. The people of Syria then demanded to president to give up his power and he REFUSED!!! No doubts democracy doesn't exist here. And if the government doesn't accomplish what the people want, then the people must fight for their country and that's how the civil war started. Then, news got spread around the world, and many powerful countries were notified about what was going on, so foreign intervention made the conflict more international. Reasons countries like France, USA and UK got into the conflict is because of the footage that the Syrian government was using chemical weapons against their own people, which means that this is a thread for the world and for the Syrian people. But then Russia and China got on their way and stopped them and sayed "hell no, let them solve their own business by their own, we shall not get into it." (Party poppers)

There isn't any other option now than to wait for the Syrian people to save their country as the French did long time ago, as the Americans did from the British, and as the South Americans did from the Spanish and Portuguese. Our prays go with Syria, hope the nation can be saved and democracy helps the people to build a new nation. 

Hi, didn't see you there

Wilkommen to my blog

This is an 18 years old's blog and this is my life. I've been a student since the age of 3. I first started at Panamericano, but then I was sent to a kinder school named "Tordecillas". Then, I went to the "Colegio Piedemonte" where I studied all elementary. After I finished 5th grade, I went to the US for 3 months to reinforce my English before I entered to Panamericano to do middle school and high school. Right now, I'm finishing my studies in Panamericano and by June I'll graduate and probably go to college by January, 2015 since I want to be 6 months with my girl, Maji:)
