As the trouble in Yemen goes on, the question is that needs asking is: Where is the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC)?
The years of internal crisis has almost ruined Yemen beyond repair. With Yemen shifting to severe internal crisis, it looks like there is no immediate end to terrorism which has become a virus, infected deep and spreading rapidly in the region and beyond.
All the recent conflicts are pointing to the fact that the world is still not fully equipped to deal with the increasing threats of terror activities. The damage reported in countries like Afghanistan and Iraq clearly proves that they will not be rebuilt nor the people rehabilitated anytime soon, and therefore the suffering of ordinary people, especially women and children, will continue.
As the world powers are unable to stop the killing of innocent civilians in the conflict raged countries, it is high time to take a decisive step to end the decades of suffering of the ordinary people and to secure the resources in these countries.
