Kazakhstan used gas prices as material inducement and when this was taken away it caused mass unrest.

[NPR @NPR]

Thousands of citizens have been protesting in cities and towns around Kazakhstan when the government lifted a price cap on liquefied petroleum gas, used by many to power vehicles in the oil-rich nation. https://t.co/dlRDnzec9K

Some say that bloody January was Tokayevs attempt at getting rid of Nazarbayev (former president and
current Veto-player) loyalist and building his own elite circle to run the country.

[Eurasia Center @ACEurasia]

"What's happening is really a coup by President Tokayev against Nazarbayev. This is likely the end of the Nazarbayev era."

@melindaharing joins @CNN's @bianca_nobilo to discuss the fast-moving events in Kazakhstan.

[Libby Scaturro @BrazellLibby]

It’s hard to keep stability within Kazakhstan with the amount of corruption within the state.

[Asia Times @asiatimesonline]

Kazakhstan has flourished since independence in 1991. Moving forward could they be the key to regional stability? https://t.co/v2cbBMccIK

[Libby Scaturro @BrazellLibby]

He fails to mention this event killed innocent people as well as non-violent protesters. It’s hard to keep equilibrium within the state when you rule by fear.

[Qasym-Jomart Toqayev @TokayevKZ]

During the events of "Tragic January" and the subsequent state of emergency approximately two thousand people were detained for various offenses. Those who committed serious crimes will be punished in accordance with the law.

[Libby Scaturro @BrazellLibby]

Tokayev want to do everything in his power to make sure Nazarbayev’s loyalist and are out of power. Nazarbayev will no longer be able to run the county as a Veto player.

A nephew of Kazakhstan's former president has been arrested on corruption charges, but he is also apparently being linked with involvement in the unrest in January https://t.co/UzKohUGMlG

South Korea had voiced their extreme dissatisfaction with Japan’s decision to release nuclear waste contaminated water into the ocean, saying it not only affects Japan but also damages international public health and safety Of neighboring countries #comparativehill

[Reuters Science News @ReutersScience]

More than 30 South Korean college students shaved their heads in front of the Japanese embassy in Seoul to protest Japan's decision to release water from its crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, Hyun Yi reports https://t.co/Hkn896PUkz 1/4

In China the polluted soil is not being regulated and this undermines human security because this threatens health security. Heavy metals in food are bad for human health and without proper regulations can endanger the health safety of the Chinese people. #Comparativehill

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

There may be a link between soil pollution and China’s “cancer villages” https://t.co/sK6x5zF3Wd

In Brazil they face the issue of the tragedy of the commons because their rain forest are being over exploited. #Comparativehill

In Zimbabwe they are neglecting the human rights to their people including there first generation of human rights which is the freedom of speech and assembly. #comparativehill

Hopewell,Jacob & all others under persecution count on us for solidarity. There is no freedom when fellow citizens are unjustly deprived of their freedoms.Fighting corruption is a collective& just fight.Rights& freedoms of all Zimbabweans is our key duty!#ZimbabweanLivesMatter

China can build concentration camps and IGOs like the EU turn a blind eye can we expect the same here? Humanitarian intervention from IGOs like NATO/UN are needed. #Comparativehill

[Franak Viačorka @franakviacorka]

Lukashenka's regime is building concentration camps for protesters. One of the contractors revealed some images. It was supposed to accommodate 2000 detainees. I can't believe this is happening in 2021.

It seems that country’s may be viewing the vaccination shortage in a realist way acting selfishly having material interest wanting to have the most power. #Comparativehill

[Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar]

Should a waiver of intellectual property rights for COVID vaccines be agreed so all countries esp poor ones can have adequate supply?

[Libby Scaturro @BrazellLibby]

Realism can capture climate crisis if we view the climate crisis as an issue of national security threat #Comparativehill

[United Nations @UN]

🌳🌲 Forests cover 30% of the Earth's surface and provide food security & shelter. They are also key to tackling the climate crisis.

From a constructivist POV Biden doesn't trust Iran because they have different norms and are not Democratic #ComparativeHill

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

Returning to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal would leave Tehran with a nuclear program too advanced for the US to allow and with too many economic constraints for the Islamic Republic, according to a new report by JINSA.

A Radical Liberal would lobby for quick and extreme intervention as they would be the most alarmed and disgusted by the humanitarian crisis of the Chinese Government against the Uighur Muslims. #Comparativehill

[World Uyghur Congress @UyghurCongress]

Yesterday, the Conservative Party in the Canadian Parliament has tabled a motion that would declare China's crimes against #Uyghurs in East Turkistan as a #genocide consistent with the UN Genocide Convention. MPs will vote on the motion this Monday.

Should bigger states interfere in China? From the realist perspective, the larger state is going to succeed, and China is one of the largest world powers.A realist would say that it is wiser to stay out of China because of a state’s self preservation. #Comparativehill

[Yasmin Qureshi MP @YasminQureshiMP]

We can't be silent in the face of the worst atrocities and crimes, whether that’s for #Rohingya in Myanmar or #Uyghurs in China.

If the Government won't support the revised #GenocideAmendment they must at the very least stop playing political games and allow a straight vote.

Pakistan’s quality of education, as well as the quality of healthcare, is low. Pakistan has no monopoly on violence. Leaders want power for their own interest and do not always have the interests of the people of Pakistan in mind.

The deforestation of the amazon not only threatens our environment but the loss of the forest ( a common good) could change the the economy of Brazil dramatically.
