The world is out of balance—between soft power and hard power, between people and the planet, and between soldiers and civilians. Yet these imbalances are man-made. Recently, I sat down with the Washington Post’s Jonathan Capehart to talk about the IRC’s Emergency Watchlist, an analysis of the humanitarian crises most likely to worsen in the coming year. We talked about the obstacles these imbalances pose to crises and how righting them is both a moral and strategic imperative. Watch our conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e3FAtgrk
They are called so because they entirely depend on green plants for their entire wellbeing. These are seconded by the omnivores being the human being who will feed on both plants and animals and they are regarded as the secondary consumers for plants and tertiary consumers to animals. Then lastly the world (our ecosystem has the tertiary consumers being the carnivorous animals and these ones depend entirely on meat for their survival). So in conclusion let us not wait for the worst because one's existence may be a very big determinant of your existence and vice versa.
I think the world could adopt a method of prevention is better than cure if they are to stay while in a symbiotic relationship. Why waiting for the worst? I think we should adopt the above mentioned method in order to neutralize everything. You need me I need you. Japan, and other bigger manufacturers make vehicles and we are the consumers. As I'm consuming your produced good, you are also gaining something in exchange to help you continue with technology. Another example I can give you Uganda here on African landscape is regarded as the pearl of Africa because of its physical features. You can not believe it that River Nile which is originating from lake Victoria here in Uganda supply Mediterranean sea with water and other bigger water bodies world wide but it's true. I think that is the major reason why explorers like John herringbone speak from Europe took a visit to discover the source of the Nile. In conclusions I may say that we are leaving in a world but it is like an ecosystem which gifted with the producers here Im referring to green plants because they are the food manufacturers also referred to as fauna. The same ecosystem has the consumers and these can cover the primary consumers which are the herbivorous animals.
1/2 Dear David Miliband, I've searched for an English language course available to people in and around Sudan that is free of charge and ends with a qualification and/or certificate. Bodies such as IRC and British Council are well placed to provide online courses for Sudanese people who live in or around Sudan, many in conflict zones or camps. It would be good if Sudanese people who are fluent in English could be involved in producing such courses for all age groups. They could select animations and materials involving the history and geography of Sudan, its culture, arts, music, dances, dress codes, animals, agriculture, the list goes on. It'd need to be produced in a way that is suited to people who live without stable electricity/telecoms/internet connectivity. Enabling a course to be dipped in and out of or picked up after devices are recharged or electricity restored to carry on where left off. Also, it'd be good if the English language material covered jobseeking, how to create a profile on LinkedIn, write CVs, what employers look for, how to write covering letter, be interviewed (online and/or in person). And how to be self employed, start a small enterprise or business, seek start up funds, micro-financing. 2/2...
David Miliband will you be taking this message to Davos? Companies like Patagonia, Triodos, Ben &Jerry's (Unilrver), and very few others are speaking up, ensuring they are not supporting war crimes. So many others could be complicit by simply not looking into this. In axtume where companies feel that a DEI policy covers their human rights obligations, please speak truth to power. What more can they and should they be doing. There is next to no link with the Geneva Conventiion and barracks against civilian populations that are being committed - often with companies profiting. Thus should be integrated into ESG criteria. And industry leaders need to add their voices. Thank you sir, for all you do.

Hello, I am Nessreen, a teacher from Gaza. I have 5 children. There is great sadness in my heart because my father was lost and we could not bury him... My husband was injured by missile fragments all over his body, and my child Muhammad was with him.. I can no longer bear it💔😭 I spent more than 16 years in my work, I built a beautiful house and bought the most beautiful And the most expensive furniture. My children were living a decent life, but unfortunately everything turned into smoke, and I and my young children became homeless because my house was destroyed. Our whole lives have turned into hell. No clean water, no food, no medicine... ...Please save my children and not leave them living on the street and suffering from poverty and diseases. I urgently need your generous donation to restore safety for my children and to rent a house that protects my children from the cold and rain. All my love for you.💔😞 https://spot.fund/g82n8hsc
A powerful message. The world needs more leaders like you who are committed to addressing global crises and promoting human rights. Your insights and leadership are invaluable in navigating these complex challenges. Thank you for your tireless efforts
Good peace, David. Your are just right in the spot. The proposed balance is not far from reality when people in power, decision makers at all levels make conscious effort to support conditions for mutual benefit to the society. Safeguarding life, the environment, social and economic stability.

2w2/2 It'd be amazing if such courses could be made available across Africa, maybe utilising Starlink devices, so African jobseekers could pursue work opportunities within Africa and not hanker to live in the west or Europe where there is war at its door. It seems to me, many illegal immigrants view the west as a land of milk and honey where streets are paved with gold, when in fact it is the opposite, making people from hot dry climates miserable and depressed. African people, especially young men, who do not see a future in their own continent, hand over their life savings to traffickers and gangsters in order to reach France via places such as Morroco where French is spoken. From France, many aim for the UK where they the find climate too cold, grey, damp, wet: the opposite of what they're used to. The language courses are important along with bodies such as IRC and the British Council that could find ways to offer English courses with qualifications and constantly updated lists of job vacancies and career opportunities in Africa, a huge rich continent comprising 54 countries, where surely there is something for everyone.
