Humanitarian Crisis in India
The sorry plight of Indians indicates that India has already become a politically unstable banana republic with rampant lawlessness, corruption, and exploitation of the ordinary citizens. It is expected that soon India will formally appear in the list of banana republics such as Botswana, Guatemala, Nigeria, Zambia, and Cuba.
If the situation is not controlled immediately, it is expected that soon international sanctions will be imposed on India because of government’s failure to stop increasing crime and corruption in the country. Click here to read more.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said the agency stands ready to undertake any nuclear verification activities in North Korea, if requested.
Last September, the IAEA established a team in its Department of Safeguards to enhance its ability to monitor the country’s nuclear programme.
At the time, Pyongyang had just launched its sixth and largest nuclear test since it began its programme, in 2006.
