Seismic events have been known to alter landscapes and affect the livelihoods, health and development of communities.

In this essay I will discuss why the Third World has been the sight of most of the world's conflicts since 1945. The conflicts that have transpired have been mostly internal and not just between these countries and their neighbors.

All the governments are responsible for removing snows on the roads. The key problem that both governments face in the maintenance of roads and streets includes road spillage, drainage faults, street light faults, traffic lighting, and crash barrier. In case any of the above occurs, it is the mandatory of the governments to fix them within their area of

A trip of about 30 minutes can take about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has been a topical issue in the country.
