America’s Global War on Terror has seen its share of stalemates, disasters, and outright defeats. During 20-plus years of armed interventions, the United States has watched its efforts implode in spectacular fashion, from Iraq in 2014 to Afghanistan in 2021. Its greatest failure however, may not be in the Middle East, but in Africa.
A telling reminder of just what a strange and unnerving American world of war and secrecy we’ve been plunged into since September 11, 2001.
The number of people displaced by war, general violence, or human-rights violations last year swelled to a staggering 84 million, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency. If they formed their own country, it would be the 17th largest in the world, slightly bigger than Iran or Germany.
On Sept 20, 2001, President Bush declared a “war on terror”. It has meant a 20-year slide to defeat in Afghanistan, a proliferation of militant groups across the Middle East and Africa, and a world-spanning war that has killed about 300 times the number of people murdered in America on 9/11.
Reading about John Hersey’s Hiroshima experience in a world that somehow refuses to grasp, even on an increasingly apocalyptic planet, what nuclear war truly means.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
