CNN host, Fareed Zakaria has stated that the world will wish it
intervened if Nigeria and Iraq falls to the Coronavirus pandemic
ravaging some countries around the world.
According to the TV host, we are still in the early stages of what is
going to become a series of cascading crises. Fareed added that the
people may not be able to get back to anything resembling normal life,
unless the major powers in the world are able to find a way to cooperate
and manage these problems together.
The CNN host who admitted that some developing countries like
Nigeria have recorded relatively lesser cases so far, added that there
is a tendency they could fall to the disease.
Fareed stated that if this happens, the cost in refugees, disease and terrorism will lead to regrets.
He said;
We’re in the early stages of what is going to become a series of
cascading crises, and we will not be able to get back to anything
resembling normal life unless the major powers in the world can find
some way to cooperate.“Even as we are just beginning to confront the magnitude of the shock
caused by this pandemic, we need to wrap our minds around the painful
truth. We are in the early stages of what is going to be a series of
cascading crises reinvigorating throughout the world and we would not be
able to get back to anything resembling normal life unless the major
powers in the world are able to find a way to cooperate and manage these
problems together.“The first phase has been the health care crisis in the world’s major
economies. The next phase is the economic paralysis, the magnitude we
are only just beginning to comprehend. Next comes the explosions in the
developing world. So far, the number of infected have been low in
countries like India, Indonesia, Brazil, Nigeria, probably because they
are less linked in trade and travel than the advanced world. In
addition, these countries have tested very few people which is key to
keeping their numbers deficiently low. But unless we get lucky and it
turns out that heat does temper the virus, these countries will all get
hit and hard.“And then, there are the oil states. Even if the quarrel between
Saudi Arabia and Russia gets resolved, at this point, the demand for oil
has collapsed and will not soon recover. Consider what that means for
countries like Libya, Nigeria, Iran, Iraq and Venezuela, where oil
revenue makes up the vast majority of government revenue.“The vast majority be …the economy…. expect political turmoil,
refugees, revolutions, crackdowns, maybe terrorism. All of these might
happen on a scale we haven’t seen for decades.“If countries like Iraq and Nigeria explode, the cost in refugees,
disease and terrorism would all make us wish we had tried harder to
manage their fall.”
