The following statement was set in the front page emergency red box at the top of the fron page of this website the evening of April 10, 2021:
Saturday April 10, 2021: There is an emergency situation in Myanmar. Reports are over 80 persons killed in a single day in Bago, evidently yesterday, Friday, thereabout; and a few weeks back, there was a major incident where over 100 lives lost in Yangon. Details still becoming clear, thus far what has been read from sources and re-posted here, is a military has seized power, and are engaged in some kind of 'crackdown' on individuals that revolt against the entity. The concentration of fatalities within specific areas for the unit time, is in world shock level. This looks like the type of stuff that went on in Bosnia in the late 1980s early 1990s reference to genocide.
News soures say over 700 killed -estimated since the coup about 2 months ago?
Questions being looked into, to provide a full story with background:
Are specific groups being targeted?
Who is directing suppression of revolts to this level of severity?
Crimes against humanity?
Crimes against humanity? -nonintervention
Are these events somehow connected to years long suppression of certain targeted ethnic groups?
What do the demonstrators, want? news reports say they are pro-Democratic; is that the totality?
What is the current state of government in the region? -recognized, unrecognized
Who else is behind directing violence, orchestrating violent crackdowns, besides the alleged leader of the recent military coup, General Min Aung Hlaing?
Are sanctions enough, is a major weapons confistication appropriate?
-Globally popular pieces of technology, Facebook, Zoom, involved with governmental processes -- unpopular treatment of people; it does not match up
Further information about the situation in Myanmar/Burma can be provided when information obtained

Nagorno-Karabakh issues, saliently marked by tensions recently, run deep and back many years. Which side, especially in regard Armenia or Azerbaijan, is 'right', and which one 'wrong', is not a simple clear-cut situation. From day to day, events that unfold each have their ethical aspects studied to different degrees.
The Azerbaijani lean, for short words, was expressed recently, mid-November 2020, at least in Oslo, Norway, according to a few sources.

Atlanta:
Response underway
Chicago:
A 4th of July day, spoiled. The 4th itself, essentially never spoiled. It is asked how could almost 90 shootings occur in one weekend, on any weekend, moreover, on the 4th weekend?
This requires more than just a measured response, law enforcement and community leaders 'doing everything they can', a long term strategy for sustainment of peace is needed
New York City:
The extent of violence this past 4th weekend, is not acceptable just because of new norms and new shallow standards. No, there were not 100 people, shot, there were roughly half that many. That does not mean it is not enough to the situation that it should not be turned around completely the other direction. NYC has it under control?, 'it is a big city, many people, crime is rife generally through here';-- stop, what happened was far out of the box of what can be assessed as natural world patterns.
Give an estimate, 30 firearms were fired, each one or two shots, to total 50. Each weekend another phenomenon of high crime numbers. Major firearm accountability, legal or illegal firearms, registered, unregistered, amateur made, or renown brands purchased at a gun store, a major, prodigious effort has to be made to get a grapple hold on all these firearms being fired over petty matter.
Is there one report that says a firearm was discharged over a patriotic matter or in the service to country?
New Orleans:
Historic New Orleans is all that has to be said. Are multiple homicides on any given day, reference today, the picture of historic New Orleans?
Houston:
Road rage incident last night Sunday, firearm involved; unbelievable, but believable in the context of considering the types of crimes that have been going on in the area the past couple of years
Seattle:
The largest city in the most northwestern place of the continental US, a place to enjoy life, now taking on a new description, of unenjoyable and unpleasant.
Rioting ongoing, and violence within that construct ongoing. Different people making different points, trying to get their voice heard, in the end, one fellow man harms another, and after the moment is over, rioting and discontent continues, virtually nothing changed, nothing got better. It is as though the only thing that got accomplished was harm to one another.
It was very strongly recommended, and being recommended again, stop the rioting and protesting.
Minneapolis:
A pregnant woman shot ? ? [Incident while she was sitting in her car last Sunday night.] This is weeks after the reportedly neck pressure incident in that city that is cited as sparking and eventually leading to nationwide rioting for racial justice; the question now is, and the same in many other locations where African Americans are ruthlessly murdering other African Americans, many times with a firearm, where is the burn for the discipline to refrain from the violent oppression on each other, of their own kind within? Natural reaction, is assessments get made of the totality of events, and the level of genuineness of some protesters supposedly being active about racial injustice and oppression, and a struggle to protect the livelihood of African Americans, wind up getting called into question.
Riverchase Galleria in Hoover, AL:
Similar to the comment just above, applied to a mall, it might be that making some changes to the mall itself could affect the dynamics of some of the types of incidents that occur there
Some of the crime discussed here may be a manifestation of lust of drugs gone way too far, some of it not even a lack of morality but no connection to morality to start with, some of it may be craziness an outgrowth of the previous two. It was not always here to this extent, and so, it may be able to go away, it is something that can be made to go away, therefore it should be made to leave.
And before it be forgotten, never forgotten by the parents of the victims, how any children under 15 years old were lost to gun violence this past weekend, this past week, past month, and since the start of 2020, 2020 clear vision?

Volumes of details have emerged, as well as huge amounts that requisite studying before a presenting a complete global roundup.
In about as brief an outline possible, this is what has happened in the last 3 days:
The USA was reeling from coronavirus and COVID-19, the problem was widespread, from coast to coast and even cases in Alaska and Hawaii.
Several stories broke around the same time having to do with a perceived abuse of force that crossed over the gray area, when police apprehended or made attempt to apprehend suspects, different locations, and the suspects could be, generally described as being African American, or some portion of enough that they might be identified as such, and other racial terminologies with influences borrowed from other languages and cultures that are not American, but being ramrodded anyhow. A salient event took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, about the 25th of May, where a male about age 46, wound up a fatality, after apprehension technique applied. Social media technology, especially cell phones, caught some of the incidents, and footage made their way to social media and the news.
Rioting broke out in many regions of the USA en segue. Certain movements made appearances in certain cities, supposedly having to do with racial equality, however, with slogans at times that could be assessed by some as counter to that goal.
Large amounts of property were destroyed, in the rioting and protesting. There were a fatalities during the rioting.
The rioting started to overshadow the coronavirus, COVID-19 challenges, on the physical space of foremost information set on news, at least in some areas.
A balance then began to level out, of a shared main story, the coronavirus/COVID-19, with racial profiling rioting.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, for conversation summary, starting with Lebanon, rioting more intensified was going on, although maybe not as geographically widespread because of the comparison of basic geographic square miles. While the USA mourned the loss of several suspects undergoing apprehension, law enforcement agents, and other incidents that occurred, totaling to perhaps under 10 persons, in Lebanon, reintensified tensions were taking place over matters reported to be economic and other conditions, exacerbated by coronavirus/COVID-19, and about 50 was the fatality count.
Similar protests, over the economic living and comfort level, have started to emerge in Syria. It was not too long back that rioting was suppressed in Syria, and in response to a certain threshold of suppression, the US dropped an atypical bomb in Syria.
At this moment, both Lebanon and Syria are configuring ways to contend with the rioting.
Lebanon and Syria sit toward the northwest of Palestine-Israel region, if standing in the middle of the Red Sea.
And there is the policy issue that has taken root, one which has been since the earliest days of the building Israel as an independent and recognized country with such official name, for instance, since the 1800s, over who and what government, and what nomenclature should occupy that land mass and masses within it, Palestine or Israel. The United States has been involved in the policy tension to varying extents over many years. Upon us currently is a plan, whether precisely a vision, or a proposal at this stage, not gone into here, named Peace to Prosperity, from the White House. In the news now, are statements from the Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, Shtayyeh, that has been 'analyzed' by some news sites as 'counter' some of the content of the White House plan. Culling through every detail, some of the analyses lack complete accuracy because they do not have thorough background embedded in the stories being generated, not that the news sites and entities do not have the capacity to. Altogether, there is a vision being set forth by the US, for a peace plan, and Shtayyeh has made certain statements, reflecting his position on the matter. Are they direct opposites?,- further study of each and every detail could help in making the assessment; at first glance, it seems that there are differing policy objectives which might not run exactly parallel, or the baskets do not even fruits of the same kind to compare.
Another development, with the names the US and Israel being spoken, while this is happening, is that Iran is upholding decisions to execute, as a punishment in enforcing laws pertinent espionage, for certain individuals that are suspected of aiding in the killing of Qasem Sulaimani (Soleimani (disliked spelling variation of transliteration, due to use of the vowel 'o', and ramifying reasons, as Suleiman, or Suleyman, called in alluding to vernaculars of Anglicized form, Solomon, is also a name of a Prophet, and there is Suleiman the Magnificent, neither of which are popularly seen spelled with an 'o')), back in the first few days of January of this year.
Further east and west of holy site, where Al Quds is and many other significant locations, Jordan and Egypt are contending with challenges having to do with coronavirus and COVID-19, which are markedly similar to the US. Black-market sales of plasma from those that have said to have recovered, reported to have started emerging in Egypt. Photos of some of the social distance strategies, such as in the places of worship have surfaced, whereat some Muslim places of worship in the US, or having technical designation as such, still have not taken on some of the strategies.
Media attention has started swinging toward Middle East as the most heightened level of priority competing for the top headlines.
But should they?
The US is creeping ever closer to the 2 million mark, of coronavirus/COVID-19 cases. Logically, and unfortunately, soldiers activated to quell recent racial profiling protesting have been reported to have become infected with coronavirus. Solutions needed, to mitigate that development. To conclude with an outright bottom line is sensitive, notwithstanding, it is understood, and it has been stated by a number of sources, that multiple leaders must refrain from attempting to walk two sides of the street at the same time, in either cleaning up the coronavirus/COVID-19, or laxity thereunto in the effort to maintain a voter base; far too many lives are at stake in the entirety of the tests which have sprung up at the same time.

The drawn out discussion about developing multiple layers of protection from coronavirus, and sharing with other nations of the world as we contend with the 'coronavirus army', in much the same way of exchanging knowledge and assistance with military allies to fend off from global threats historically, will be held off a little longer until more information is in.
Meanwhile, it was found, PM Modi and Egypt President Al Sisi, have communicated on the combatting coronavirus matter, the details comprising the discussion, not ascertained yet. The two nations they respresent are amongst the earth's oldest, at least on the modern day level. This is a key element, because these countries, in India and Egypt, have witnessed and perhaps undergone situations similar to coronavirus going back thousands of years, and (have become through experience stronger) equipped to handle them. Therefore, the exchange of information from the two surely would contain information that would be beneficial to other nations, countries, cities, and on to the individual.
A happy Eid was wished, indicative the article in recent within the past few days.
