A tale of oppression

By our correspondents
July 28, 2017

The UN has failed to settle the Kashmir and Palestine disputes. Atrocities committed by India and Israel in these regions are gaining momentum. Palestinian and Kashmiris are living in fear and hopelessness. The current situation displays the dismal picture of abuse of power. The silence of the international community is incomprehensible. These are Muslim-majority areas and it seems that the world has no interest in the problems faced by Muslims.

World peace will remain a figment of imagination until the plight of the oppressed is addressed. People living in the occupied land have a right to live freely. They must be respected. Abuse of power has already trampled with peace in Afghanistan. UN authorities must take steps to settle these disputes.
