What wars are going on in the world today?

Question

I know theres the Iraq and American war, but what other wars are going on between different countries?

Answer 1

Define wars.  I once saw a Un.org document that said there are close to 90 CONFLICTS around the world at any given time: conflicts in which people are killed over ethinc, territorial or economic reasons.

For example, we have less-than-peaceful relations between

North and South Korea

The Basque region between France and Spain

Tibet and China

Taiwan and China

China and its western neighbors (all Muslim)

Afghanistan: tribal wars between ethinc groups

Iraq: Sunnis hating Shias hating Sunnis

Nepal and civil strife

Darfur

Liberia

Palestine and Israel

Israel and southern Lebanon

Turkey and its Kurds

Russia and Georgia

Mexico and its native peoples

Colombia and Peru

China and its western Muslim Uighers

Pakistan and India over Jammu-Kashmir

Myanmar (Burma) and civil war

Sudan and its Muslim-Christian peoples

Serbia and Kosovo

Chad and its peoples

Greece and Turkey

There are more.  Most of these are short but long-lived conflicts that result in sporadic violence and where peace is non-existent.

India in a continual war with Pakistan- Kashmir area that they are fighting to gain.
