Major Incidents of 2016- Walk Down the Memory Lane- A Preview​

 

 

2016 has departed and 2017 has taken the lead. Well, a number of important events and tragic incidents have taken place.  People need to open history book to cross check these good and bad incidents in the world.  This is a short recap for you to look back for collecting interesting stories and heart rendering event in 2016.

More Snapshots in 2016 to Cross Check

One of the toughest challenges to West was to overtake recession in the industry.  Global companies had to minimize excess expenses to tackle the financial downturn.  In the previous year, Obama declared the $19 trillion deficit in the national economy. The crunch was severe for Native Americans to bear.  New debt management  program was designed to reduce federal expenses.  Employees lost jobs and  people had to pay higher taxes to fight with the caustic financial stringency.  Global market was not in hygienic condition as well.  Bullion market experienced a downturn and especially lubricant crude oil or liquid gold price had to be cut due to the poor performance in the oil exporting.  OPEC nations had different strategies to put Western countries in trouble by blocking the supply of crude oil.  These rich countries stored oil in reservoirs and then they started swindling others.  Due to the reduction of oil price, many countries had to stop produce oil.  Gulf market was bottlenecked and America planned to opt for the alternative route to defy ME.  Shale oil industry in America increased oil production and to some extent American oil companies were able to restore financial resilience to bring down the severity of recession.  Russia is also a good competitor in the oil and petroleum industry. New contract was signed by Vladimir Putin to trade with Turkey and China.  Ukraine had to hand over Crimea to Moscow in 2016. Putin promoted new economic theory to remodel Moscow.  Land reclamation over Crimea was successful as Putin used his muscle power to annex Crimea to the main land of Moscow.

No Option for Permanent Solution-Global Terrorism Rocks the World Severely

Global terrorism seems to be irreparable and unbeaten without any instant handy solution to international leaders. How to suppress  insurgency is quite unpredictable.  In 2016, painful bomb blasting in a night club based in Orlando claimed around 49 lives of gay males. Omar Mateen who was the devil didn’t hesitate to shoot down innocent visitors at the night club.  Later, Mateen was killed in a straight fight.  Silence restores in the dark haunted castle without any reply from other side.  Those who are no more will not come back again to relay what happened in Orlando or in a metro station on 22nd March in Brussels.  ISIS terrorists don’t honor value of human lives. They are notorious hooligans without any heart to ache for brethren.  In 2016, the same episode of carnage and devastating explosion in Germany must be a testimonial to the helplessness of people to the fate. Miseries and misfortune are unnoticeable.  In France and Belgium, ISIS miscreants were reckless to kill people randomly.  They are robots to start ransacking the cities to terminate precious human lives. Raw barbarism stops heart beats of million people. Deadening look of vultures pierces through the soft heart to drench the soil in fresh blood.  Why are people becoming so arrogant? Is there no solution to offer? To be f rank, it is not the task of a single guy to handle terrorism. Nor is it the outcome of few stray incidents of insurgency and communal clash.  Social institutions and civilians must be integrated to find the source of massacre or holocaust. ISIS terrorists have had taken control over Mosul, Aleppo, and other cities in ME.  In the last year, they advanced to find their enemies for destruction.  Whether it is a massive bomb explosion in Brussels or in US, people were killed without mercy or trial. Meanwhile, Russian force executed the orders of Vladimir Putin to keep hitting the city of Aleppo. Overnight air strikes and ground attack made it clear that ISIS militants must have a limited number of options to survive. They go ahead to reach the cul-de-sac to destruct themselves in explosion.  Mosul is still under the control of ISIS commandos.  In Aleppo, Assad blocked borders to increase the degree of city blockage to force militants to surrender. Kurds and Iraq aided force put pressure on the ISIS hideouts to leave the battle field.  Aleppo and Mosul were not recovered in the last year. However, the condition of ISIS militants is becoming considerably bad. Explosion, internal deportation and human slaughtering episodes gave no room for consolation. ME is still boiling in radiance of insurgency and ethnic conflict. In between, America lost Obama and gained Donald Trump as a new president of US. Obama will leave his office by 20th instant this year.  His last executive action orders will have little value to Donald.  Donald is a narcissist. His promise to wipe out hidden bunkers and hideouts of militants must be fulfilled. In 2016, Obama tried to settle issues of terrorism controlling his emotion.  Trump will be severe for ME in 2017. He announced that he would have no connection with Islamic society if Muslims are found trigger happy to destroy cities mercilessly.  His first 100 days action plan was brought to US citizen’s in2016. During his presidential election campaign, he lambasted Obama for little sympathy for US natives. He was not careful to do the tasks of minimizing insurgency.  Hillary Clinton was another cute high profile political celebrity who spent sleepless nights to do workouts. Her Black Berry scandal and her involvement in Panama paper leakage are not appreciable.  She was challenged by Donald during live debates. This female Democratic Party leader brought risks to the doorsteps of US civilians. She leaked and shared confidential classified content with strangers. Russian spy hacked database of Pentagon to steal numerous cables containing confidential materials. Hillary and Obama had to face interrogation and complicated questions to give right answers.  Hillary was bold but eventually she had to retreat after being defeated at the presidential election.

More Global Highlights

There are more interesting news items and threatening nuclear deals to expose. North Korea exploded mini nuclear bomb to threaten South Korea. China deployed army to possess Sprightly Island in South Sea. Black Sea turned hot and unstable after the declaration of deployment of Russian war ships for coastal surveillance.  NATO alliance and America decided to hit warships of Russia if Putin chalked out plans secretly to deny the access of Baltic countries in Black Sea maritime zone.  Brexit was supported by representatives of House of Commons in Britain.  Theresa May opted for Brexit. In 2016, Tony Blair was directed to face trials due to his inappropriate decision to help US admin to attack Iraq. Tony Blair assisted Bush secretly.  Saddam was not a hardcore rival to Britain. Chilcot report was framed to cross examine many British officers, ministers and ex-prime minister for casualties. Around 190 British soldiers died during Iraq invasion.  This battle was expensive.

 Conclusion 

2016 is the sample model to Donald Trump to change the diplomatic policy. May of Britain must find better financial development plans to recover. South Sea issue in 2016 must be solved for long lasting pacification. To top it all, global terrorism which was an active volcano in previous year, must not be heated up in this year. More bold workouts are needed to enhance uniformity and peace to make the world cool.
