What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film?
Fault lines are partnership between BBC and Aljazeera. Many signs of war along the road, dead people and wreckage. There are many signs of tension, one of them being that the UN and US are very intervening, and example of which is the Quadafi situation. The US leaders say that we stopped a massacre but other say we were just sticking our nose into other people’s business and making things worse. The plan was to build up rebel forces and many people have volunteered but most of them are just civilians and as I said, simply volunteers, though they want to help, how much will they really?
The price of oil, which the price has been going up on rapidly, is a major factor of the tension. Many places import oil from the middle east, including the US, which is one of the many reasons why the US was so eager to help Libya. Rumors, not solid facts, that oil is being secretly pumped have popped up and is being spread. Those are up even though oil officials were saying that nothing was being produced. The economy minister says that they HAVE indeed been pumping oil.
So yeah, there are many different sources of tension, these are just a few of them.
Pretty nice, format is all good~
ReplyDeleteThoughts are a little random, and there is no conclusion sentence, but that can be blamed on the lack of time~
GOOD JOB ABADAB!
Yay for Abbbbbaaaaay! This looks really good :)
ReplyDeleteLike Lea said, format's good.
And psssst. I didn't put a concluding sentence either... c;
I have to agree with everything that you have said in this post. Of course...it was all in the video...Anyway oil was secretly produced but I wonder why producing oil was such a secrecy, and what is so important about the secrecy.
ReplyDeleteI think that the US was right to intervene in the conflict to stop that massacre. I believe in the ability of the Libyan people, though they don't have the training for this sort of thing, they are strong in both number and willpower. As for the oil dilemma, I don't blame the people for pumping oil because they need money to support their cause, and oil is one surefire way to get it.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Abby it shows you really put your time and effort in it. Dexter does have a point though with the oil being so secretly produced. It makes tons of sense though. Your blog of course!
