Chile declares state of emergency in the north due to migration crisis

migration crisis


The President of Chile, Sebastian Pinera, on Wednesday, declared a constitutional state of emergency in four northern provinces of the country because of the migratory crisis.

The president granted special powers to the Armed Forces to control irregular migration along the border. The measure will last 15 days with the possibility of a two-week renewal. The measure includes the deployment of 672 military personnel and 100 police officers to guard Chile`s northern border with Bolivia and Peru.

The president explained in a press statement that the police and military will conduct patrols and checks in the four northern provinces. It will also establish new observation posts and deploy drones to these provinces. The police and military will also utilise helicopters for surveillance and transfer, along with night vision cameras, thermal cameras, and satellite communication equipment.

Reportedly, Chile is facing a migratory and security crisis, mainly in the northern provinces of the country, Arica, Parinacota, Tamarugal and El Loa. The government of Chile confirmed the news of the migratory crisis. Reportedly, there is an increase in the flow of migrants through unauthorised crossings in the South American country.

Reportedly, dozens of people are stranded in border towns currently. They are waiting for an official resolution after entering Chile through unauthorised crossings.

Chile recently introduced a migration law that seeks to "order the migratory flow" in the country. The president said that he had talks with the neighbouring countries of Argentina, Bolivia and Peru to resolve the migratory crisis.

Reportedly, the new regulation will return people who enter Chile irregularly to the border immediately, without a prior trial. Chile closed its land borders in 2020 as a preventive measure during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the authorities reported a surge in irregular crossings. The local authorities struggled to accommodate the migrants.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
