first of all,
there is
a clear need to define that
the folk(s) is/are not having
psychological issue(s)
or
wrong/misleading perception
about
the reality of things.
usually,
this is very helpful
because
some folk(s) may say
other folk(s) are attacking
.. or trying to ..
attack them
when there no basis in reality for saying so.
usually,
for
a party outside of the folk(s) directly involved in the engagement
who is
interested in the unfolding issues
as
a
neutral,
unbiased
objective
observer
it is of value to
access historical information
on the relationship between the involved parties.
this sort of information
gives
such
a
neutral,
unbiased
observer
insight
as to
what has been going on
or
what may be going on
e.g
■ it may provide
an insight
as to
if the attack,
if any,
is
a retaliation by the attacker(s)
against
the attacked folk(s)
for a
perceived or actual affront / injury / insult, etc
in the past
■ it may indicate
if
the attack is
an
.. unprovoked
.. unwarranted .
. unfair ..
attack
against the attacked persons.
this may be help
such
unbiased
objective
neutral
observers
reach
a balanced decision on unfolding events
and
take any decisions or actions that
they may want to take going forwards,
if any,
based on accurate information
.. or at least ..
information that is as accurate as possible
leaving
neutral folks
and
moving to folks who may
one way or the other
feel involved
in the engagement
on the side of either party
or
who may be
directly involved
in the engagement
on
either the side of the party (being) attacked
or the side of the party doing the attacking
it is usually prudent to understand that
there will be
emotions
feelings
sentiments
sensitivities
involved
and these may run high
for the parties on either side of the engagement
in situations where there are
emotions
feelings
sentiments
sensitivities
etc
is usually of value as a general rule to proceed with caution
although
prevailing exigencies
or
emerging exigencies
may
make one decide to over-ride that general rule.
discourse on
conflict
conflict resolution
can be rather lengthy
and
can consume copious amounts of time
this is understandable
considering
the nature of conflicts
and
the impacts of the conflicts
on
the involved parties
psychologically,
physically,
financially,
etc
Salma ohbee nnkeh nm,
Salma obi nkem,
i am not able to see value in entering into a lengthy discourse on
conflicts and conflict resolutions
in this post.
however,
i will mention briefly
and
in passing
that :
█ the rumoured
xenophobia attacks
in recent years
by
blacks in South Africa
against
blacks from other parts of Black Africa
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia? maltreatment?
by
China folks in China
against
blacks folks from Black Africa
during the COVID-19 period
in recent years
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia attacks
by
Hamas in Palestine / Israel?
against
Israel / Isrealis
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia
response attacks
by
Israel
in response to
the activities of Hamas
which is seemingly directed against all Palestine
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia attacks
recently ( currently? )
by
whites in United Kingdom/Britain/England
against
blacks from Black Africa ( .. and Asians? .. )
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia attacks
recently ( currently? )
by
whites in Ireland
against
blacks from Black Africa
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used.
█ the rumoured
xenophobia attacks
recently ( currently? )
by
whites in Australia
against
blacks from Black Africa ( .. and Australia native aborigines .. etc .. )
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
█ the rumoured
historical xenophobia attacks
by
whites in South Africa
against
blacks from South Africa
( .. ref : the Sharpeville Massacre,
shootings in Soweto, etc .. )
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
█ the rumoured
historical xenophobia attacks
by
Aryan race whites in Germany
against
Jews / Isrealis / Semitic Jews / Semites / Isrealites from Israel
( .. ref : the holocaust, etc .. )
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
i am not all sure if there is wisdom in mentioning the instance(s) of my native country Nigeria
however
with regards to Nigeria
█ the rumoured incidents
linked to
terrorists,
insurgents,
bandits,
etc
in Northern Nigeria
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
█ the Nigeria Civil War / Biafra War / Biafran War ( 1967 – 1970 )
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
generally,
issues involving
violence
or
confrontational activity
anywhere
e.g
█ the aggression? against Capitol Hill in the USA
seemingly linked to
disagreement by some folks with the results of the USA Presidential Elections
in which
Joe Biden emerged as President
and
Donald Trump lost
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
clearly
occurrences like
█ USA military action against Afghanistan
█ Russia against Ukraine
█ Saddam Hussein Mother of All Wars of USA versus Iraq
█ the Six Day War / the Yom Kippur War involving Israel in the lifetime of Moshe Dayan
█ etc
█ etc
█ etc
can fall into
the categorisation of conflicts
depending on the methodology of categorisation used
leaving
whole areas of discourse
pertaining to conflicts and conflicting resolution(s)
and
narrowing down
to
THE MATTER OF WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP FOLKS WHO ARE BEING ATTACKED UNFAIRLY
it is of value to
reiterate
that
█ folks who
wish to do something one way or the other
to help
folks
that in their ( i.e in the intending helper’s )
.. opinion .. view .. perception ..
are ( being ) attacked
are entirely at their own discretion
are entirely at their own wisdom
in getting involved one way or the other
however,
it is
circumspect to note that
their involvement should not worsen things for the folks ( being ) attacked
i.e
their involvement should not make things ( get ) worse for the folks ( being ) attacked
perhaps
it is best to illustrate a bit with examples
for this purpose of this post :
say for example
that
SOME GROUP(S) OF FOLKS ARE ATTACKING FEMALES WITH BLONDE HAIR IN BARCELONA
now,
for example,
what can folks do if they decide they want to help the females with Blonde Hair in Barcelona ?
or
what should folks do if they decide they want to help the females with Blonde Hair in Barcelona ?
there is a saying that what goes around comes around.
based on this saying,
what about the females with Blonde Hair in Madrid ?
should they ignore the females with Blonde Hair in Barcelona ?
or
should they lend them a helping hand one way or the other ?
afterall
the attack is
essentially targeted against
Blonde Hair females
and
they are also Blonde Hair females ?
besides
if the attacks against Blonde Hair females in Barcelona are successful
they can be extended against Blonde Hair women in Madrid
or
Las Palmas
or
the Canary islands
for example ?
