2016 has gone to the dogs: Good riddance to a bad year

This is the year that additional affront to damage, as difference converted into obscenity, and presumption reproduced incivility.

The canines of war have peed everywhere on the current year's date-book.

Consistently. Consistently. Consistently. 

Whole urban communities and groups have been attacked by aimless bombarding, viciousness, annihilation, as more individuals deserted their lives for the obscure. 

Positively, 2016 was one of the most exceedingly bad years in decades, maybe not as awful as 1916 - one of the twentieth century's most exceedingly bad - yet the Middle East is amidst its own World War I after more provincial and worldwide military forces hopped in.

"Never again" has happened over and over, however the worldwide group did minimal more than quarrel, gripe or maybe denounce. More awful, the world has become numb to the repulsions of the more prominent Middle East.

The disastrous picture of five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, sitting in an emergency vehicle in the wake of being pulled from a building hit by an air strike in Aleppo, not exactly a quite a long time old Aylan Kurdi was washed aground in Turkey, made it clear that nothing will have any kind of effect. 

Five thousand more evacuees suffocated in the Mediterranean in 2016. Furthermore, the fortunate ones, similar to the hundred thousand or more displaced people who crossed the Red Sea from the Horn of Africa this year, have really discovered shelter in war-torn Yemen! 

Also, something else happened in 2016; something that didn't figure in the extensive arrangements of the end-of-the-year audits; something that went past brutality, past anguish. The year compounded an already painful situation, as difference converted into profanity, and presumption reared incivility. It's the year of falsehoods and post-truth.
