IMPACT OF THE DEATH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN

 

 

Known for fatal terrorism acts including the bombing of U.S Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the year 2002 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Osama Bin Laden was a radicalized Saudi Arabian Muslim who believed that Muslims should rise up in a Jihad (Holy war) to create a single Islamic state. Osama’s mission begun in the year 1979 after the attack of Afghanistan by Soviet troupes. For a start, He worked together with Azzam to mobilize financial and moral support for Afghan rebels as well as encouraging young men from all over Middle East to be part of Afghan Jihad. Later on, they begun a global recruitment network which offered training and armament after which Bin Laden created a group (Al Qaeda) whose main focus was on acts of terrorism duped violent Jihad. Osama’s untimely death happened in the year 2011 after staying in a hide out for a decade while still recruiting young Jihads and plotting new attacks. The death of Osama Bin Laden was and still is very significant globally.

 

Impact on Al Qaeda: Osama Bin Laden was the founder and overall leader of Al Qaeda troupes. He came up with Ideologies that were and re still used in radicalization of Islamic population globally. His brutal Killing even after evading American troupes for a decade sent a signal to the Al Qaeda that no man is Sovereign and that America’s pursuit is relentless. The brutal massacre of their own stirred fear and it is the reason they started issuing threats of revenge. The death of Osama Bin laden was a blow to the leadership of Al Qaeda as it left open chances of it being conquered by Counter-terrorism troupes in case of friction in leadership succession. This pauses uncertainty to the future of Al Qaeda.

Impact on global security:  Osama Bin Laden was involved in planning of various terrorist attacks. For instance, he had accomplished Jihadist attacks in every continent during his last twelve months of existence where suicidal bombings and mass murder of civilians tactics were used by his troupes. The past well calibrated terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda united world nations into a fight against violent Islamic extremism. The death of Osama Bin Laden did not spell an immediate collapse of Al Qaeda or even an end to terrorist attacks as at that time, Al Qaeda was a well-organized network of terrorist operating independently. Again Afghanistan was in a fight against Taliban who were their present Enemy. The killing was accomplished by American forces which demonstrated that western skills and determination can prevail. This prompted the need for nations to remain united in the fight against terrorism and to date more has been accomplished with more world nations joining NATO.

 

Impact on U.S security interest: The death of Osama Bin Laden had a negative implication on Al Qaeda’s ability to remain a major threat to U.S security interests as he remained the sole decision maker in the development of major its strategies of terrorist operation. The ability of American troupes to eliminate the world security enemy further boosted world’s trust and confidence in their power. However, it is believed that the death could lead to an attempt by the leader of an affiliated Al Qaeda group to lead a more intense global terrorist gender with the hope of rising to a place of prominence in succession of Al Qaeda overall leader Osama Bin Laden which meant a no rest in fight against terrorism to the US security forces.

 

Impact on Pakistan U.S relations: The fact that Osama Bin Laden was found in a posh Mansion in Pakistan in a large and well protected compound at the time when he was killed rose doubts over Pakistan’s dedication to war against Islam extremism. Questions over Pakistan’s role, potential and complicity in Bin Laden’s refuge in the Country arose with a suspected possibility that he had a support system there. The suspense led to withdrawal of American forces from Pakistan at a time when they needed them the most to help fight Taliban but the U.S president emphasized on the need of Pakistan to join U.S in battling Islamic extremism including Al Qaeda and its affiliate groups. In the wake of revelations that the world’s most wanted terrorist had for a long time sought refuge at the heart of Pakistan, the U.S government withdrew their foreign assistance and military reimbursements to Pakistan Government. An act of law was also introduced to prohibit future foreign assistance to Pakistan unless the Secretary of State satisfies that in no way was the country involved in hiding Osama Bin Laden.

 

Impact on Anti-American Sentiment in Pakistan: American anti-Muslim foreign policy had for a long time remained prevalent among Pakistan who were angered about them. The US intelligence operation and raiding of Pakistan which led to the killing of Osama spiked the anger which led to reporting of Osama’s death by Pakistan media outlets in a positive light regardless of fact that he was a foreigner. The absence of Pakistan government in the operation was harshly questioned by some outlets which brought in a perception that the country had allowed its sovereignty to be violated. The death also brought out clearly the fact that Osama had a number of supporters in Pakistan but most had their views rooted in his embodiment of Anti-American resistance than in his violent Jihad method and this is the reason very few Pakistans were willing to take it to the streets in honor of his death.

 

In conclusion, Osama Bin Laden’s death is notably the most significant and symbolic achievement in the fight against global terrorism. The death did not spell the end of Al Qaeda but it greatly shook its leadership and its future thriving was unasured. Owing to this, the global efforts against terrorism have intensified with more countries coming together to form a strong military forces that are to help Combat acts of terrorism in the world. The American forces success in tracking and killing Osama after remaining in hide out for a decade was an indication of prevalence of useful skills in American forces, dedication and determination and that the fight against terrorism will long remain a matter of diligent law enforcement and persistence.

AFTER HIGHSCHOOL SURVIVAL GUIDE

Secondary school to a majority who go through it is deemed a voluntary prison; a shell that shields you from living a life your wish as a teenager. Back then we dreaded highschool life because we were cut off from getting entertained to our satisfaction, getting meals of choice as well as restrained movement for those of us in boarding schools. I donno what you hated the most about life in highschool.

After years of that longing, to pen down the last letter on your KCSE paper the euphoric  moment is here. Right? You may never have tried to visualize how the after highschool life maybe like. However, from experience I can assure you that it's  both exuberant and tough. However I am here for you. Here are some tips on how to make after highschool life easier to maneuver through.

Credit management:  with your mobile phone around you 24-7, airtime becomes part of your daily expense. Poor airtime use habits can get you overwhelmed to an extent of stealing from your parents or lying just to have it. So how can you remain connected to your friends without necessarily biting more than you can chew. First, make affordable weekly or monthly bundle subscriptions for data and messages. It saves you the heck of daily subscription. Secondly avoid unnecessary calls to friends n relatives and finally do not spend what you do not have. Avoid okoa jahazi thing!

Get something to do: After highschool, homestay becomes easier  when you have something to keep you busy than when you idle around. * Idle mind is the devil's workshop*.While at home, stay engaged in a value addition activity. Be quick to accept training offers that parents may organize for you. You can not only go for computer lessons, but also go for driving, beauty therapy, playing musical instruments lessons...such. You can also help your parents with suggestions of trainings you maybe interested in.

Grab available money making opportunities: A form four leaver is seen as an adult in the society. Apart from a few who are babied around by their guardians, you should step out and go out to hustle instead of depending on your parents entirely even for that much needed credit. Be on the watch out for any decent employment opportunity around you. There is that mama looking for an m.pesa operator, there is a hotel looking for attendants, there is business looking for shop attendant. At this stage you are employable. Look even for juniors looking for people to coach them. You will earn as you learn. Don't  just sit back and watch movies from morning to morning. 

Play safe, cyber bullying is real:

Today, access to information and sharing is almost instant. Be careful about what you share out with your friends, especially anything visual. We have had cases of suicide out of a teen sharing nudes with their confidant and the moment the relationship goes sore, the confidant exposes them. Play safe, avoid sharing content that can cause havoc incase it lands in the wrong hands. Again remember that the internet never forgets, avoid sharing what you may wish to undo in future but cannot be undone.

Uphold discipline: Anywhere you go values that add up to discipline must be upheld if you want to live peacefully with the people around you. Being obedient, honest, chaste and focused will greatly help you in moving even when translating into your next level in life. Avoid dating around, sleeping around, drinking around and no one shall question your integrity.

HOW TO CLEAR BAD ODOR FROM YOUR COOKIES JAR

It feels good to be that impeccably clean, fresh smelling feminine both from inside to outside. When we talk of a lady's cleanliness, emphasis are put oh her jar of cookies (vagina) for a thousand and one reasons. Naturally, vagina is capable of cleansing itself hence giving it a natural smell. However, to some ladies, unusual vaginal odor keeps on popping from time to time while to others it is a lifetime thing. The bad odor can be a result of imbalances in vaginal PH, consuming strongly spiced food, menstruation or intercourse. Whether it's  a long term or a short term menace, bad vaginal odor can be minimized or cleared. Here are some remedies for you.

Take plenty of fleshy fruits: what do i mean here? Water melons, pineapples, mangoes cran berries and what have yous. These fruits contain sweetly scented juices that are capable of transforming your vaginal secretions smell and taste from bad to good. Having that disgusting fish like, garlic like, pilau like odor down there? Worry not. Grab plenty of these fruits and it shall be well.

Practise good hygiene: Use a washcloth to clean your jar of cookies with plenty of pure clean water. Do not use soap either because it alters vaginal PH making your condition more severe. This will help get rid of sweat, dead skin and dirt that could be causing a bad smell. This practice is crucial during menstruation because it helps keep the metallic like smell away.

Dress appropriately: During a time when you have a bad odor attack, put on a loose cotton pantie. Loose panties helps with good air circulation around your cookies jar while a tight one will keep dirt, secretion and sweat close to your vagina hence worsening the situation. A cotton pantie is recommendable because it helps trap secretions and sweat that causes the odor. Be sure to change your pantie oftenly.

Stay hydrated: It is important to take plenty of clean water as it helps cleanse your body systems internally. Clean water neutralizes your body secretions hence preventing unhealthy bacterial growth.  The frequent peeing that is a result also helps with clearing dirt around your vagina adding up to its cleanliness.

Drink plenty of yoghurt: Alterance of vaginal PH leads to unhealthy growth of vaginal bacteria leading to unusual odor. Yoghurt helps with balancing vaginal PH which in turn encourages healthy growth of these bacteria and hence normalizing the vaginal odor. It is therefore important to take plenty of yogurt not only when the vaginal odor goes out of hand but occasionally to ensure that you remain on the safe side.

Pee after sexual act: At times, you may notice an unusual odor after sex. This may be a result of interaction between semen and vaginal fluids as well as friction. Peeing immediately will help you rinse off these fluids. You can also go ahead and use pure water to rinse them off.

Bottom line

Different women have distinct vaginal order. However, there is one thing that is constant in all women; vaginal PH.This determine whether your vaginal odor is going to be normal or unusual (bad). A healthy vaginal PH normalizes vaginal bacteria growth which makes its discharge and smell constant and usual. Imbalances in Vaginal PH causes abnormal growth of vaginal bacteria which causes variation of it smell. It is therefore very  important to strive to maintain a normal Vaginal PH.

SIGNS THAT HE IS ABOUT TO EXIT A LOVE DEAL

Love is a spiritual union. This insinuates that the partners are held together by a cord of compassion and selfless care for each other. The more the partners are into each other,the thicker the cord. The moment either starts showing less concern with the partner the cord starts getting corroded. At initial stage of a relationship, most partners are said to be in the blinding love. This is what I would call the usual honeymoon love. At this stage,the cord is usually so thick. The way couples treat each other, and even the compassionate feeling towards each other tells it all.

However, with time this great love tends to wear out gradually for reasons hard to unravel before the partner. The cord becomes thinner each day and finally the lovers falls off the connection:marking the end of love deal. So how do we avoid the pain of the thud of falling apart when the cord breaks? Its easy even to evade the pain of the unexpected break up. This can be done by noticing the obvious signals that tells..it will be over soon and thus running away before the trouble befalls you. Always watch-out for these sighs.

Elimination of the items on the do's list: During the hot stages of a relationship we get almost all pleasant things in the world done to you. The guy will try as much as possible to keep in touch;do frequent calling and texting, just to know how u are doing,spend time on picnics where u have your time outdoors. Here,couples spend the biggest part of their leisure time together. Constant reminders of how much they love you are always there. However,there comes a time when the guy tries to eliminate the items one after the other. Eventually,even communication alone becomes hard and when most items are eliminated,the ties gets so weak.

Withdrawal: This mostly happens due to constant gazes at the surrounding pastures;the chicks around the guy. At times,guys tend to get into a relationship with a great vigour but still can't hold themselves from eyeing the chicks around them. This goes to an extent of the guy getting the guts of trying to “ingisha” every Jane and Shiku into his box. Guys forget that after all,they can't accommodate all the cute ladies they come across. If anything,they forget that the more they become 'viruka' the more they can’t concentrate on their core relationship and this leads to it’s silent death. In this case, a guy loses gold in pursuit of diamonds.

Criticism : in this case am referring to corrosive criticism. All people make mistakes but its all about how those mistakes are interpreted and handled . At the worst, these criticism brings in an implication that it's one of the partners who is wrong. For instance , your guy can always criticize you for poor selection of hair style, bad hair splays, poor makeups, poor dressing habit,improperly cooked food, never doing right things like nit calling and texting in time . all these insinuate that you are bad or always wrong at some deeper levers. Repeated criticism that strikes the heart of the other person signals the end or relationship.

Contempt: these are whatever things that makes a person fill worthless. For example , when a mistake arises and your guy makes you feel that it was foolish of you to make such a simple mistakes. This is also revealed by him not appreciating you. For example, a guy may not introduce you to people who matters because of the fear that they may start backbiting him for being associated with you. In this era of social media, your guy may not complement the lover's publicity or comment on her post : just trying to hide everything so that any linkage between the two is not revealed.

Defensiveness : this is when they are always there to make excuses for their failures or slip ups. People do this automatically from time to time but when it become a persistent theme is a relationship it marks the end. For example your guy doesn't text or call you for a week. When you finally calls, he says that he were sick yet he used to appear on social media. Others claim they are too broke to get some credit. “ Seriously for a whole month somebody argues such?” . Others will give excuses that they were waiting to see you do the thing instead, such situations even worsen when partners are also trying to score points off the other on top of being defensive. For example, he brings in an argument “if I couldn't do it, why then couldn't you do it”?

Stone walling : this is when your partner raises the draw bridge and cuts off communication. There are no nodes of encouragement to you when they speak, no

attempt to empathize and no effort to respond or connect, this worsens the situations because lack of communication never solves the problems at the heart of a relationship. The worst this can lead to is a breakup because there is so much that is hidden in silence and silence gives the worst answers to any rhetoric questions.

love is a partnership which is subject to dissolution when conditions get tough , its not worth waiting until the split comes along after a long time of heartaches , it's easy to note when the interest is diminishing. Therefor when it get to the worst its worth saving yourself the heartbreak by breaking up before the breakup comes.
