Unilateral Ceasefire

-
Saudi-led coalition has announced a ceasefire of two weeks in Yemen effective from the last Thursday. The war started in March 2015 to curb Iranian backed Houthi "Ansar Allah" movement. However, it only caused destruction and humanitarian crises. The pause to fighting came after the UN's appeal, while Saudis claim they did it to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Besides, according to the Houthi spokesperson, they will continue fighting until the blockade is lifted. Which might provoke Riyadh into retaliation. While given the bigger threat posed by COVID-19 and on-going miseries plaguing the country, all parties should respect the ceasefire. As a common enemy for all, coronavirus has made warring parties realize the need for resolve. There are 3000 confirmed cases in Saudi Arabia while none in Yemen. However, it will be catastrophic for the latter should the pandemic spreads with no healthcare system available. But Houthi's demand is also valid, as essential supplies must reach the people and it will also increase chances for a successful ceasefire. Further, it will create more room for peace talks.

21 Writing Tips for New Writers

-
There is FIRST day of everything. No matter you are learning to drive, starting a blog or planning to write a book. You have to begin somewhere. Why not learn from those who had started earlier? It will give you a headstart and prevent you from committing mistakes.  1) Practice as Often as you Can ( Ian Martinez Cassmeyer ) To be good at something, you have to start doing it. Because by doing you know your weaknesses and then you can work on them. Take any famous sportsman or singer as an example, they could not reach where they are without practice. So do practice as much as possible.  2) Just Start ( Cady Hammer ) The first step is always difficult. You doubt yourself. Feel unsure if you can complete what you started or not.
