25/05: Humanitarian relief solutions
We see, read, hear reports about the catastrophic situation of Burma and China. The aftermath of the Nargis cyclone and Sichuan Earthquake.
Year after year, more and more murderous natural tremors blast off everywhere around the World. Hapless people were dying in great numbers, because relief could not brought over quickly enough.
Are we, human beings, so stupid ?
More and more people are dying of starvation. Despite the fact that enough food is available.
Experts agree on some of the causes.
The main problem : accessibility.
I propose the following solution:
1 - Create a DMZ (demilatry zone) at the borders of each country.
It can done as such:
Country A shares the same border with country B. A slim border line.
Why can't countries A and B agree to share a greater zone as a frontier ?
The bigger frontier could be a relief route, allowing hapless refugees to seek for shelter.
In this way, sovereignty will not be a question anymore.
2 - As every country has a border with one or more neighbours, those borders could be extended as an DMZ or international highway. The highway could be equipped with relief equipments (landing aircraft tarmacs,barraks, chirurgical buildings, relief stocks ...), as small relief islands.
The scheme will be more flexible and bring relief with less hindrance compared with today situation.
So let's create these routes and relief islands. In the name of efficiencies.
Another good perspective: People and goods could be transported from Country A to Country B,be they apart from the North Pole to the South, only by using the international Highway, without the hassle of paperworks.
One may argue: Not the shortest path !
Well, it's better to have freedom to ride than the other way around.
