Human Right
vs Government Dictatorship
Yesterday in Sudan,
government alleged security force fatally shot dozens of protesters as the demonstration
grew larger. The government used military force to kill its citizens, which
definitely violates the human right. However, the government claimed that their
action was to protect other people from the insane mob. Apparently, a variety
of people do not agree with the government’s explanation. “Even when responding
to violent acts by some protesters, the security forces have a duty to protect
all individuals from violence and to avoid unnecessary loss of life. Anyone
responsible for the arbitrary or abusive use of force against protesters must be
brought to justice, and the Sudanese authorities must send a clear message that
the excessive use of force will not be tolerated.”(1)
In my opinion, I definitely oppose the
government’s action. I would love to share my thoughts on this issue here. There
is no doubt that there are always some people or group who do not agree with
the government’s decisions, even in some developed countries like the US.
However, these people hardly make some violence like in Sudan. Why does this
happen? From my perspective, the US government has established a better system
to listen to people’s opinions and solved them. In this case, even though
people feel unhappy with their government, they would not do such ‘bad’
protest. So the issue actually still comes from the government. If the
government is not democratic enough to accept opposite opinions, unsatisfied
people will protest and may take some harmful actions.
As a conclusion, I think only ‘dictatorship’
needs military enforcement to shut down protest. If Sudanic government really
wanted to prove that it was not a dictator government, it should develop a
better system or policy to deal with its protestors!
