The Water Crisis That Could Spark Global Tensions
The Water Crisis That Could Spark Global Tensions Water—something we often take for granted—is becoming one of the world’s most precious resources. Across the globe, rivers are drying up, lakes are shrinking, and underground water supplies are disappearing faster than they can naturally refill. What was once a local problem is now a growing international concern, and countries are beginning to clash over access to freshwater.

The Camel: The Miracle of the Desert
🌍 Introduction The camel is one of the most unique and useful animals in the world. It is often called: ✔️ “The Ship of the Desert” because it can walk long distances across hot deserts without getting tired. Camels have helped humans for thousands of years for traveling, carrying goods, farming, and even as a source of food and milk. In Islam, the camel is also mentioned with respect — as a sign of Allah’s creation and power. 🧬 Types of Camels There are two main types of camels: 1️⃣ Dromedary Camel (Arabian Camel) ✔️ Has one hump ✔️ Lives mostly in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia ✔️ Makes up 90% of the world’s camel population 2️⃣ Bactrian Camel ✔️ Has two humps ✔️ Lives in Central Asia (China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan) ✔️ Can survive in extremely cold deserts too 🏜️ Why Do Camels Have Humps? Many people think humps are filled with water, but that’s not true. 🟡 The hump stores fat — like a food bank. When the camel does not find food, its body uses this stored fat for energy. ✔️ Because of this, camels can survive many days without eating much. When the fat is used up, the hump becomes smaller and softer, and when the camel eats again, the hump returns to normal shape. 💧 How Do Camels Survive Without Water? Camels are water-saving champions. They can: ✔️ Drink up to 100 liters of water in one day when thirsty ✔️ Survive 7–10 days without water (sometimes more) Their bodies are designed specially: 🔹 Their blood cells are oval-shaped — so they can stretch and hold more water 🔹 They sweat very little — saving water 🔹 They can drink very fast without getting sick 🌡️ Adapting to Desert Heat The desert can reach 50°C (122°F) — yet camels remain calm. Here’s how: 🐪 Thick fur on top protects from sunlight 🐪 Thin fur below keeps heat away 🐪 Long legs keep body away from hot sand 🐪 Wide feet stop them from sinking into sand 🐪 Nose closes during sandstorms 🐪 Long eyelashes protect eyes from sand Allah نے انہیں ایسے خاص طریقے سے بنایا ہے کہ وہ ریت، گرمی اور تیز ہوا سب برداشت کر سکیں۔ 🍃 What Do Camels Eat? Camels are herbivores. They eat: ✔️ Dry grass ✔️ Leaves ✔️ Thorny bushes ✔️ Desert plants Their mouths are very tough — so even thorny plants don’t hurt them. They chew food slowly and can digest rough plants easily. 👨👩👧 Relation With Humans For thousands of years, camels have helped people in: ✔️ Traveling ✔️ Carrying goods ✔️ Farming ✔️ Transporting water ✔️ Providing milk ✔️ Providing meat ✔️ Providing leather & wool In many countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, India, Somalia, Sudan, Egypt, and Mongolia, camels are still very important. 🍼 Camel Milk Camel milk is considered very healthy: ✔️ Rich in vitamins ✔️ Easier to digest than cow’s milk ✔️ Good for immunity ✔️ Naturally low in fat In some cultures, it is used as traditional medicine. 🕊️ Camels in Islam The camel is mentioned in the Qur’an as a sign of Allah’s creation: Allah asks humans to reflect: “Do they not look at the camel — how it was created?” This teaches us that every creation has wisdom and purpose. Also, during Hajj & historical travel, camels were used for transport. 🧠 Intelligence & Behavior Camels are: ✔️ Intelligent ✔️ Calm ✔️ Loyal ✔️ Good at remembering routes They live in groups and listen to their leader. They make different sounds to express hunger, anger, or calling their babies. 🐾 Baby Camels A baby camel is called a calf. ✔️ It can stand and walk within a few hours after birth ✔️ Drinks only mother’s milk for months ✔️ Stays close to the herd 👣 Lifespan Camels usually live 40–50 years. 🌎 Where Do They Live? Camels mostly live in: ✔️ Middle East ✔️ North Africa ✔️ Central Asia ✔️ South Asia ✔️ Australia (wild camels too) ⚖️ Size & Strength A camel can weigh 400–650 kg (880–1400 lbs) and can carry 200–300 kg for long distances. That’s why they are called Desert Trucks. ❤️ Why People Respect Camels People admire camels because they teach us: 🌟 Patience 🌟 Strength 🌟 Simplicity 🌟 Endurance 🌟 Gratitude They are peaceful creatures that help humans without harm. 🏁 Conclusion The camel is not just an animal — it is a miracle of design and wisdom. It shows how perfectly Allah has created every creature for its environment. From deserts to cold lands, from history to modern life, camels continue to serve humanity with loyalty and strength.

Stanislav Kondrashov: Why Culture Development Matters in the Age of Energy Transition
As governments, industries, and communities reshape their futures around renewable energy, there’s a quieter, less measurable transition underway—one that Stanislav Kondrashov believes is equally urgent. It’s not about the mechanics of wind turbines or the economics of solar grids, but about people—their values, behaviours, and the cultures that bind them.
