Crisis Group: 10 countries where terrible wars could erupt in 2019

Crisis Group predicted 10 conflicts that could occur in 2019.

Since the U.S. is withdrawing from the role of the world's <x0-police”, more countries are interested in extending their influence into foreign conflicts. In this era of testing limits, the president of the Crisis Group has listed 10 conflicts we can see in 2019.

Joint shares instruments, such as the UN Security Council, are paralyzed; those of collective accountability, including the International Criminal Court, are ignored and humiliated.

Yemen

If a country is carrying the brunt of international law failure, it is Yemen. The humanitarian crisis there may escalate even more in 2019 if the main players do not seize the opportunity recently created by UN envoy Martin Griffiths to reach a ceasefire agreement and convince the parties to build trust relations.

After more than four years of war and a Saudi invasion, almost 16 million genes face the risk of being left without food, according to the UN. This means that one of the three Witnesses does not have enough food to eat.

Afghanistan

If Yemen is the world's greatest humanitarian disaster, then Afghanistan suffers from wars with the largest number of dead in the world. In 2018, more than 400,000 warriors and civilians were killed by one group alone. Trump's mid-term decision that half the American troops leave Afghanistan brought even more unrest.

U.S.-Kine tensions

The dispute between China and the United States is not a deadly conflict, no matter how bitter the trade war between Washington and Beijing can be. However, rhetoric between the two countries is increasingly warmongering. If relations, already at the lowest level since the Tianamen protests three decades ago, continue to deteriorate, rivalry can result in major geostrategic consequences more than all this year's crises.

Saudi Arabia, US, Israel and Iran

As in 2018, as does 2019 there are risks of deliberate or unintentional confrontation including the United States, Israel and Iran. These three countries share the same views as the Tehran government as a long - held threat and a regional aspirations that must be contained. For Washington, this was translated with withdrawal from nuclear agreement in 2015, the re-invention of sanctions, more aggressive rhetoric and threats of strong revenge in the event of Iran's provocation. Riyadh has embraced the new approach mainly through the tone of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, warning that he will fight Iran in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen and even Iranian soil. Israel has focused on Syria, where it has regularly hit Iranian targets and its supporters, but has also threatened to target Hezbollah militants in Libya who support Iran.

Syria

With the end of 2018, the Syrian conflict was about to continue on the same road. It seemed that Bashar al-Assad's regime, with Iranian and Russian help, would win the battle against the opposition. The fight against the Islamic State would draw close to the end. International Acters would maintain a French balance in different parts of the country: Israel, Iran and Russia in the southwest, Russia and Turkey in the northwest, and the US and Turkey in the northeast. But after a call to Turkish President Reccep Tayip Erdogan in his mid-age, announcing the withdrawal of American troops, Trump undermined this balance.

Immediately, the likelihood of an armed conflict, including Turkey, Syrian allies, Syria's Kurds and the Assad regime, increased immediately. Thus, the Islamic State was given another chance of life by maintaining the chaos that continues for several years.

Nigeria

Nigeria will hold elections in February 2019 to elect the new president and legislature, while in March choosing state governors and MPs. Random, Nigerian elections are a matter of violence, and even this year the conditions for starting a firework are favorable.

The presidential convention between incumbent Muhammadu Buhari and his main rival, former vice president Attici Abubakar, will be a difficult fight.

South Sudan

Since civil war broke out five years ago, 400,000 people have died. In September, President Salva Kiir and his main rival, former vice president, rebel leader Riek Machar, signed an agreement to stop the war and govern together until the 2022 elections. Now-to-know the deal is favourable. However, predictions are that the era of stability can be completed.

Cameroon

A crisis in the Anglophony areas of Kamerwint is on the verge of crossing into civil war to destabilise the once-called island of relative calm in a crisis religion.

The era of the crisis has been gradually unearthed since 2016, when Anglo - English teachers and lawyers took to the streets to protest the French's use of the education system and the justice system.

Ukraine

The war in Ukraine continues without a clear sign of when it might end. Fired by Russia in 2014 because of the prosecution of Crime and the support of separatists in eastern Ukraine, in the Donbas region, conflict could still escalate between Russia and Western powers. The first milestone was on the Azov Sea, when Ukrainian ships and Russian ships crashed in November. After the confrontation, it was found that neither side is interested in compromise.

Venezuela

It's a huge gas tank house. Venezuela turns out to be the gross greed of neighbors. Venezuela's economy is in free decline with a devastating social impact. Once eliminated diseases, such as diftery, have been restored. Some 31 million Venezuelans have fled the country, originally in Colombia and other neighboring states. The UN expects this number to rise for 5.3 million at the end of 2019. /Periscope.
