1. There are constant armed conflicts and contradictions in the region, and various security threats are intertwined and interact with each other.
At the beginning of the new year, local turmoil occurred frequently around the world, and armed conflicts and various contradictions emerged one after another. Among these hot issues, there are various phenomena such as western countries' military intervention in other countries' political power, sectarian conflicts, terrorism, etc., which have plunged the political society of some regions and countries into continuous turmoil and uneasiness.
1. The armed conflict is getting more and more serious.
In Syria, the civil war is in full swing. A large number of Syrian refugees poured into Lebanon and Turkey. 20 13 On February 7th, the Turkish government issued a statement saying that more than152,000 Syrian refugees were stranded in Turkey. On February 16, according to the report released by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Beirut, more than 283,000 Syrians fled to Lebanon to seek refugee status. At the same time, suicide terrorist attacks and indiscriminate frequent mortar attacks have become a problem in Syria, especially in Damascus, the capital of Syria, causing a large number of casualties. Although as early as June+10/October 3 1 day in 5438, the Syrian opposition organization "National Alliance of Syrian Opposition and Revolutionary Forces" expressed its readiness to negotiate with representatives of the Syrian government to find a solution to the conflict. However, judging from the development of the situation, political settlement is still very difficult.
In the Philippines, a fierce battle and confrontation took place between Abu Sayyaf, an anti-government armed group in the Philippines, and elements of the Moro National Liberation Front, resulting in a large number of deaths. From February 4 to March 1 day, the armed conflict that lasted for nearly four weeks came to an end.
In Central Africa, the anti-government armed alliance "Serika" of the Central African Republic signed an agreement with the Central African government, agreed to cease fire, formed a joint transitional government, and decided to hold parliamentary elections within one year, but the current situation is still difficult.
In Sudan, there are various tribal armed forces and militia groups, and conflicts often occur between them. Although the government has been carrying out a campaign to collect illegal guns, it has achieved little and conflicts still exist.
In Myanmar, the armed conflict between government forces and Kachin Independence Army continues to heat up. According to relevant data, as of April 20, there were more than 2,000 conflicts and exchanges of fire between the two sides, which caused heavy losses of people and property, and about 65,438+10,000 Kachin people were displaced.
2. Territorial sovereignty disputes are frequent.
Argentina and Britain are once again in dispute over the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands. From 20 13 to 12, Argentine President Cristina sent a letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron, demanding that the British government implement the resolution on ending all forms of colonialism adopted by the United Nations in 1960 and "return" the Falklands to Argentina. Cameron responded with "Britain will not hesitate to fight a war if necessary", and the British Foreign Office insisted that the Malvinas authorities hold a referendum to decide whether to "maintain the political status of the islands as a British overseas territory". Although it is unlikely to trigger a new round of military conflict, a feasible solution to the dispute has not yet been found.
In the Thai-Cambodian border dispute, the Thai government is making every effort to safeguard the sovereignty of the area near Preah Vihear Temple, a disputed territory on the Thai-Cambodian border, and is actively preparing to respond in The Hague International Court of Justice.
3. The hot spots of the nuclear crisis continue.
In the Iranian nuclear crisis, the differences between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency remain unchanged, and the dialogue between the two sides has not produced substantive results. Iran continues to advance its nuclear program. 201365438+1October 3 1, Iran began to install a new generation of centrifuges in its uranium enrichment plant. On February 65438+2, 2002, Iran was converting enriched uranium with a concentration of about 20% into nuclear fuel. On February 23rd, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran announced that new uranium mines had been discovered in the northern and southern coastal areas, and it planned to build 16 nuclear power plants. Iran claims to adhere to all rights under the framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and will never give up any rights or accept additional demands. On April 9, Iran officially launched a nuclear raw material processing plant and two uranium mines in the central Yazd province. In addition, Iran has continuously demonstrated its military strength by launching missiles. In the long run, due to the mutual restraint between western countries and Russia in the region, the Iranian nuclear issue may be further tense and escalated, but the possibility of using force against Iraq is still small, and the peaceful settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue is still the direction of efforts of all parties concerned.
During the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea asked the United States to abolish the "United Nations Command" and showed its determination by launching missiles, launching satellites with ballistic missile technology, conducting underground nuclear tests in northern Korea by the Ministry of National Defense Science, and restarting the Yongbyon nuclear reactor. The United States has been sending F-22 stealth fighters, B-52 strategic bombers, Aegis destroyers and South Korea to conduct joint military exercises, as well as deploying terminal high-altitude area defense in Guam and selling joint military exercises of rq-4, the United States, Japan and South Korea to South Korea, which has increased the pressure on North Korea. Despite the efforts made by China, the Russian Federation and other countries in the international community, the situation is still tense and the direction of development is still difficult to judge.
4. International terrorism continues to spread.
International terrorism exists for many reasons. Political turmoil and economic deterioration caused by wars in western countries and interference in other countries' internal affairs have sown the seeds of hatred; There are also tribes in different countries that are fragmented, the government's management ability is low, and sectarian conflicts and vendettas are mutually causal and vicious. From the beginning of the year to now, the number of casualties caused by various terrorist explosions has been rising. 20 13 65438+ 10/0, four explosions occurred in Quetta and Swat in western Pakistan, killing at least 1 16 people and injuring 236 others. 13 10/3, three explosions occurred in northwest Pakistan, killing at least 17 Pakistani soldiers and injuring 25 others.

This is another serious terrorist attack in the United States after the "9. 1 1" incident.
