\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20 16th January 2003.Time 9.30am\par \par The same old thing...a big sound of airgun...the bullet has paralysed a white dove.This kind of scenes are not very uncommon in a border like this where two countries are in a state of silent war.\par \par Athlecia and Golan are two countries which always had a frictional state in between them.No one knows how and why it started .Both countries share a border of approximately half of their frontier.Moreover,both countries have a sea in their border and they share even the border even there.The people of both the countries resemble in every aspect.But still they are not at all friendly.People in both the countries have a lot of suspicions over the people of other country.Even a bird that crosses the border is not spared in fear of spying.Both countries spend more than 30 of their income for defense.Because of that people in those countries are poverty stricken.\par \par No one is to blame for all this melancholy .All the people are only in a fear for life and take other's lives inorder to save theirs.Noone here is in search of peace and the people who strive for it aren't spared.There are no foreign prisoners in these countries as they are shot dead as soon as they are found.Many people on the seashores having their main occupation as fishing are deprived of their lives as they crossed the borders out of ignorance.The situations have become even more worse that the people began to hate every other foreigner.It has been spread that the" foreigners" come "for reign".\par \par The "International Peace Forum"(IPF) which strives to establish peace between fighting nations is unable to take up any steps as their constitution says they should step in only when a real war takes place,but it is not the case here.It's 'just' a frictional environment that is present.These countries are maintaining the same environment since '60s.\par So no other foreign country is now interested in these developments.\par \par But it is not always the same.It is just a calmness before a turbulent storm and no one can stop it once it get's started...\par
