Iran kills afghans while they tried to enter Iran illegally in Kalgan, Sistan, Iran.

[sidkhan2]

Reports indicate that over 250 Afghan migrants were killed by Iranian forces while attempting to enter Iran illegally in the Kalgan region of Sistan. This incident underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by many Afghans seeking refuge amid the instability in their home country.

Context of the Incident​

The Iranian government has been stringent in enforcing its border policies, particularly in regions like Sistan and Baluchistan, where illegal crossings are common due to economic hardships and security concerns in Afghanistan. The area has seen increased tensions as Iranian authorities attempt to manage the influx of migrants while addressing domestic security issues.

Humanitarian Concerns​

The high death toll from this incident raises serious humanitarian concerns. Many Afghans are fleeing Taliban rule, seeking safety and better living conditions. Reports suggest that Iranian border forces have been increasingly aggressive in their efforts to deter illegal crossings, leading to tragic outcomes for those desperate to escape their circumstances.

International Reactions​

This incident is likely to draw international scrutiny, with human rights organizations expected to condemn the actions of Iranian forces. The situation calls for a reevaluation of border enforcement practices and a more humane approach to handling migrants, particularly those fleeing conflict and persecution.

Conclusion​

The deaths of over 250 Afghan migrants highlight the urgent need for a comprehensive response to the humanitarian crisis affecting Afghanistan and its neighboring countries. As the international community watches closely, there is a pressing need for dialogue and action to address both the security concerns of nations like Iran and the dire circumstances faced by displaced individuals seeking refuge.

Another proof of the cheap value of life in this region. The West is superior in this respect. I have not heard the West shooting illegal immigrants, atleast not on this scale, even though the West has nothing in common with them.

There were no immigrants to the West from what is now called third world before imperialism. The colonized or imperialized countries became shitholes after colonization, producing reactionary nationalisms and oppressions which didn't exist before.

There was also ancient Roman imperialism and colonialism in the Semitic and North African civilizations, which we tend to forget. Back then too, as a result those civilizations turned into 'shitholes', and Rome came to have a majority made of immigrants from the East (rise of the Khilafat reversed that).

'People from the city's (Rome's) earliest eras ... resembled other Western Europeans. But during the imperial period most sampled residents had Eastern Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ancestry. At that time, "Rome was like New York City … a concentration of people of different origins joining together," says Guido Barbujani, a population geneticist at the University of Ferrara in Italy'.

Spread of Christianity, along with Eastern Roman Christian imperialism, brought the ancient Egyptian culture to a total end.

'Egyptian temples were ordered closed by the Byzantine emperor and the last known hieroglyphic inscription (at Philae) was carved in 394 C.E.'

'Britain set up a colonial regime in Iraq after a long military campaign during World War I. In response to Iraqi resistance, including a country-wide uprising in 1920, British forces battled for over a decade to pacify the country, using airplanes, armored cars, firebombs and mustard gas. Air attacks were used to shock and awe, to teach obedience and to force the collection of taxes. Winston Churchill, as responsible cabinet minister in the early years, saw Iraq as an experiment in high-technology colonial control. Though officials in London sometimes had qualms about the violence, colonial administrators on the ground like Gertrude Bell expressed enthusiasm for the power of the imperial military enterprise.'

Ultimately, Britain could not fully control Iraq with direct rule, but it was controlling Iraq's foreign policy as the hegemon. Modernization of Iraq happened under King Faysal (from Medina).

The search for oil was begun by the Ottomans, so they would have had plans for Iraq's development as well. A Turkish Armenian was leading the search under Ottomans and later under the British. Britain was an imperial power whose interest was to create compliant states and people to exploit their resources. India's economy fell to less than one-tenth relative to the world economy compared to before British rule. India turned into an economic and political 'shithole'. Famines killed millions, the roads, railways and ports were to transport cheap resources out of the country.

Interesting to note, precedence of using chemical weapons in Iraq was established by the British. Baathist Arab nationalists continued the tradition.

Ottoman built railways.

They had become bankrupt in 1876, but in 1880s developed big projects interconnecting the middle east and were planning to connect Baghdad all the way to Berlin. This line had reached the border of Iraq just before WW1 which was a critical threat to British imperialism.

To this day there are no railways crossing international borders in the middle east.

Washington only produces 12 SM-3 missiles per year. If Iran continues to fire missiles, American interests in the South China Sea and against the Russians in Europe will become very vulnerable.

The regional mess was created in World War 1 when Western imperial powers and Arab nationalists united against the Khalifa. The idea of imperialists and nationalists uniting is very weird. And the result, as expected, is very weird too. Since that day Arabs always call upon the 'international community' to fix their problems. The international community here is euphemism for the West.

 

[Novus ordu seclorum]

The plan was to connect Berlin all the way to Basra. Impossible to imagine that in today's world. Racists, far-right extremists, and Islamophobes rule Europe today. Had this railway line completed, the world would have been very different, and I think better. No World War 1 and 2, no Nazism, no Holocaust, and no Zionism. Jews could have moved to Palestine and to anywhere in the middle east. Maybe even establish an Israel without the land theft, denial of Palestinian, Arab and Muslim rights, wars, terrorism, racism and refugees for over 100 years.

"The Hejaz railway was ahead of its time".

Arab tribes who made a living guiding pilgrims on caravans were attacking the trains before Lawrence. Is that moral or wild and selfish?
