Players To Cancel Middle East Tours

Japan Table Tennis Association said that Japanese players will not take part in two world tour tournaments in Qatar and Kuwait because apparently there will be a major security problems. 33 players would participate these events there. 

I definitely support their decision. The Middle East is not a place to visit now. If this condition lasts long, would 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar be cancelled?

Victims of ISIS

A VOA reporter interviewed with several survivors escaped form kidnapping by ISIS soldiers. They said, ISIS have abducted many young people including children and young girls. They are not only forced to be soldiers but also become sexual victims. Some young girls have been sold as sexual salves and others are forced to get married with ISIS soldiers or others. 

Whenever political or religious conflict occurred, children and women are facing severe circumstances. I understand there would be complicated issues, but we need to save these people first.
