Dear ladies and gentlemen, First of all, let’s wonder whether today’s world is still being led by someone else, or has already slid into anarchy and imperial wars once again?Are Donald Trump,

Putin and their ilk in some countries of the region just individual cases, or are they a direct reflection of today's troubled world and an expression of its leadership type?

Is the current global system controlled by superpowers based on chaos and wars that are managed, nurtured and employed to reshape the world and mark areas of influence without any controls or discourses such as those known in the second half of the twentieth century?!

Would it be possible to call such a thing a world order? Or have we been in a time where everything is governed by disorder? 

Is it possible to go on to say that terrorism and terrorist entities like ISIL and al-Qaeda are the other side of the new world order? Does not a country like North Korea pose a potential nuclear threat to the world? Or dealing with terrorism and North Korea’s nuclear threat in isolation from the world order, its nature and leaders is something understandable? 

I may have raised many questions, but as I imagine, it is a suitable way to look for answers that uncover a great deal of mystery surrounding the future of our world, and of our lives as human beings, especially in a world ruled by chaos and war and dominated by greedy leaders, frightening trends and blind interests.

My country, Yemen, has been living a raging war for three years, ignited by the coup alliance consisting of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia and ousted president Ali Saleh. It’s a war sponsored by world leaders, most notably Donald Trump, who went to Riyadh to give it an open mandate to keep nurturing chaos and war under the pretext of backing the legitimate authority and Yemen despite the fact that Riyadh itself imposes restrictions on the legitimate president, preventing him from going returning to his country, while on the other hand supports separatist and extremist militias to replace the state and legitimate government in areas liberated from the militias of Houthis and ousted president. 

A world whose great power is ruled by a guy like Donald Trump would be a frightening and insecure place.  Trump negotiates with the king of Saudi Arabia and his son aspiring to rule, the young Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, for hundreds of billions in exchange for a transfer of power within a royal family, which is supposed to be an internal Saudi affair.

When the stupidity succeeds to be at the highest office in the world’s greatest country, it reproduces itself everywhere both in terms of rulers and political trends. Mohammed Bin Salman has been waging a war in Yemen for three years, and there is a widespread belief that he along with his UAE counterpart, Mohammed bin Zayed, had created favorable conditions for the Houthi militia to overthrow the Yemeni state in late 2014 as part of a project led by Abu Dhabi and Riyadh to turn the Arab Spring countries into battlegrounds to enable the regimes overthrown in popular uprisings to regain control of power. 

Recklessness and foolishness are common features of Trump, bin Salman and bin Zayed. I am talking about about Trumpization of our region and its major implications for my country Yemen. 

In addition to this idiotic and impulsive model, there is also the model of religious ideological leadership whose follies and adventures are generated by extremist religious beliefs. The center of this leadership lies in Ali Khamenei whose mullah regime dominates everything and runs a network of militia groups stretching from Iraq to Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and has homogenous warlords. 

Talking about the Iranian leadership and its role in spreading chaos is nothing new. In the late 1970s, it began to build false glory at the expense of its regional environment and neighbors, but its expansion ambition came into force only following the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The Middle East today has become the scene of a major battle that Iran is waging unilaterally. In order for the conditions of confrontation with Iran to be complete, Trump’s America has come to fight its own battle and rub salt into the wound. 

America of Donald Trump

To have Donald Trump means a racist policy against immigrants and the world’s peoples. To have Donald Trump means blind and hollow interests that are empty even of diplomatic language and claims of democracy, freedom, rights and freedoms.

On the other hand, we see Vladimir Putin; the dictator who has found in the global chaos an opportunity to achieve his imperial and tsarist ambitions. He keeps bombarding Syria, driven by outdated motives such as those that were especially prevalent among individuals like Hitler, Stalin and those who were behind atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or such as those prevailing in ancient times.

The world, which has long seen in Putin as a model of a new dictator with a remote-controlled democracy, has also changed and is no longer an exception. 

Major global democracies have become battlegrounds of racist movements against their fellow citizens of different origins. Doors have been closed in the face of immigrants coming from a world whose doors are always kept wide open for goods, weapons, tools of death, profits and the world trade. 

Only Canada was an exception and was not part of the global wave of hatred against immigrants and refugees, in addition to German Chancellor Angela Merkel until before she made changes in her open-door policy toward refugees fleeing armed conflicts, which was relatively distinct from the rest of European countries that have closed doors in the face of refugees from countries suffering from wars and regional and global conflicts. 

Canada’s message has reached beyond what you imagine. It is not only up to those being hosted in this generous, humane country such as immigrants, refugees, workers or those who have been integrated into the Canadian society and granted citizenship, it has also reached all those aspiring to a world dominated by the values of humanity.

The isolationist tendencies, which have reached their peak in America and most of Europe, are only the beginning in a turbulent world of ever-changing transformations and threats that will never stop unless current ideas, policies and trends change.

However, in Canada, we realize an embodiment of these changes the world is required to adopt urgently. In my view, they are trends and policies that are permanently attached to this country, but not temporary ones that are only dependent on the current elected leadership.

Dear ladies and gentlemen, 

In our Arab countries, the popular uprisings in 2011 were like a new birth. However, the world’s leading powers and regional conflicts under their auspices have turned this moment of birth into wholesale death sweeping cities and countries like a tornado. 

The wholesale death in Iraq's Mosul and other cities, for example, is not a special case isolated from the destruction caused by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, which later handed Iraq over to an Iranian occupation run through sectarian Shiite militias, estimated at hundreds of thousands. They move from one war field to another; from Iraq to Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and the door is seemingly open to successive chapters of a regional war. All this has created, and still creates, a vacuum filled only by trans-boundary and -continental terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic state (IS). 

The wars in Yemen, Syria and Libya are aimed at crushing hopes of these countries’ peoples, which clearly expressed their aspirations for democratic change, the rule of law, rights, freedoms, employment opportunities and equal citizenship in the revolutions of 2011.

Dear friends, 

No one of the world leader is talking about democracy anymore. At the table of heads of state and free world diplomacy, there is no longer room to talk about rights, freedoms and violations.  

Thousands of people are being killed, while leaders, superpowers, and major democracies of this world always have their own explanations that draw the curtains of blackout and indifference. They sometimes classify what is going on as a war on terror or civil strife. Some civil wars and internal fighting may find some kind of attention, but they are soon forgotten. 

Dear friends, 

The anarchy is the driving force of today's world, while Donald Trump, Putin, North Korea, global terrorism, and rising racism are only multiple names of this anarchy.

Could you imagine what would happen if a president such as that one who rules in North Korea decided in a mad moment to press the nuclear button?!

Let’s go not so far, just take a look at Trump and what could one expect him to do within three years of his work at the White House!?

Many began to see in the Chinese leadership as a reasonable and admirable example, and this is not only as a result of China's growth and stability, but also of rationality and maturity in a world crazy leaders and misconducts of politics have increased.

Many no longer ask about the democratic model to measure the different forms of political systems in the world. The great democracies were the first to break the democratic standards of their international policies. 

However, China will not be the savior of America from North Korea and its unpredictable misconduct. It would be appropriate to emphasize here that the problem of the world lies not in Kim of Korea, but in the fact that the world is governed by anarchy, wars and conflicts, and that the world’s major powers see nothing but their own interests. 

The Prime Minister of France wouldn’t be able to change global trends in his country, Europe or the West in general if France's basic policies on refugees, migrants and explosive global conflicts in the Middle East remain unchanged. 

Europe, both at the state level and at the continental level, seems unable to provide a complete model that inspires the world. Its political bloc, which had lost its lustre even before it was complete, is no longer able to offer anything as the ceiling of ambitions regarding its future role recedes. 

Dear friends,

The world is undergoing big transformations that threaten everyone and make the picture confusing and disturbing. This is what we feel whenever we look at the models of world leaders starting from Trump, Putin, Ali Khamenei and Bashar al-Assad to Mohammed bin Salman and the North Korean president.

However, whenever we turn the pages of history it always turns out that follies of racism, extremism, imperial delusions of power and terrorism are very week and short-lived.

We have left behind great transitions in humanity, and this global apostasy would be only a casual case. It’s true that black spots seem to widen and raise fear, but they will not be bigger or more dangerous than those overcome by humanity and ultimately failed to color the whole life with black.

Let us hope once again that we could create a human world that would accommodate all of us, a world that we will build together as free human beings free from barriers of color, race, belief and identity, and from blind and narrow interests states and political entities seek to achieve for control and subjugation.

Today, the world seems not to be okay. There are a lot of politicians who spread hatred and then ask why all this happens? I think it is time to confront racists and their follies, and the tyrants and their crimes. They have to realize that what they are doing is not heroic or patriotic. I know that some are fascinated by the “wooden” leaders. But I see, and you may share the same, that the world does not need extremist leaderships because this would ignite the fires in all its parts. 

But rather there is an urgent need for leaders to develop their countries and lead them towards democracy, fairness and tolerance. The closer we are to these ideals the more we are on the right side of history.
