Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>In a recent article titled \u2018The Riots Never Ended\u2019 in The Commentary, an American publication, the author Noah Rothman writes: News consumers can be forgiven for assuming that the unrest in America\u2019s cities that erupted after George Floyd\u2019s death had largely abated.<\/p>\n

Media\u2019s coverage of that lawlessness has certainly ebbed, but, as events in Chicago on Sunday night demonstrated, the organized assaults on American cities did not.<\/p>\n

\u2018The story in Chicago is now a familiar one.<\/p>\n

Police officers responded to a Sunday afternoon call about an armed man in the city\u2019s Englewood neighborhood. A scuffle broke out. Police were shot at, and they returned fire. The suspect, who was wounded, was taken into custody. \u2019 Chicago Riots. Photo \u2013 wgntv. com<\/p>\n

And he goes on to describe how shortly afterwards a mob started to gather, seemingly spontaneously, but the fact that vans and other vehicles came in with arms and other equipment, and mayhem followed with pelting, arson and looting of shops that were broken into suggested that this assault was more likely an orchestrated one.<\/p>\n

Similar scenes were seen in other cities in the US in the immediate aftermath of the Floyd George incident in Minneapolis, such as in New York where streets with high-end shops were pillaged by marauding mobs.<\/p>\n

Chicago is considered to be the most violent city in the US and I learnt this as far back as 1979, when I was attending a revision course for my final exam in surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

The surgeon who gave us the lecture on abdominal injuries had spent a year at the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, which dealt with practically all the trauma cases that resulted from the endemic violence in the city.<\/p>\n

Under normal civilian conditions the worse types of injuries that we encounter as surgeons are those from road accidents. They are bad enough, and it\u2019s a tough call trying to save lives and limbs.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I must say, I have never worked in zones of the type of violence seen in war or when mobs rampage with lethal weapons. But I can imagine the nightmare that colleagues face as they battle to repair mangled bodies, and feel for them.<\/p>\n

That is why violence of any kind is so upsetting to those of us who belong to the health professions and are in the frontline having to deal with the damage done to, more often than not, innocent people.<\/p>\n

Even as I was writing these lines came the news of another rampage, this time in the \u2018silicon valley\u2019 city of India, Bengaluru, generally known for its IT hub and as a garden city as I saw for myself when I visited there in 1967 during my student days, and again in 2009 with family \u2013 though the scene had changed, in Cubbon\u2019s Park for example, which had contracted in size because of buildings that were not there during my first trip.<\/p>\n

I was pained to see the visuals on Indian TV channels, and scanned the coverage in the print media to gain some understanding of what was happening. And what I read were echoes of the reflections made by Noah Rothman about the situation in the US.<\/p>\n

Thus, one headline read \u2018The Bengaluru riots point towards a well-planned conspiracy, not a spontaneous reaction\u2019 and the sub-heading was, almost predictably, \u2018There is an attempt from some quarters to drive the narrative of it being a spontaneous act\u2019.<\/p>\n

Chigago Riots. Photo \u2013 static01. nyt. com And next we read, \u2018a huge mob assembled were hurling stones at Akhanda Srinivasa Murthy\u2019s home (NB: a Congress MLA) and setting it on fire.<\/p>\n

They also attacked fire engines that rushed to the spot. Thereafter they barged into KG Halli Police Station, the local police station. Setting two vans parked there on fire, they began attacking the police station. Not stopping at that, the mob indulged in violence against the cops and media too\u2019.<\/p>\n

Further on, a more graphic account: \u2018\u2026 a mob gathered with bottles filled with petrol, diesel, kerosene and stones and at first arrived and attacked the Congress MLAs house\u2019, and then the sequence of the attacks: \u2018They attack legislator\u2019s house; set fire to police van; vandalise and set fire to police station; lock up DCP who went there to pacify the mob (as informed to media by Minister A Ashoka); setting DCP\u2019s car on fire; fearing reprisals and police reinforcements arriving, attack police quarters; erect barricades to block roads; continuous stoning; another attempt to vandalise KG Halli Police Station\u2019.<\/p>\n

To other commentators, this was a replica of what happened in New Delhi when President Donald Trump visited last year, and as police investigations are now revealing that was well planned in advance, with the involvement and active support of a local politician whose own terrace was used to stock material that was used by the rioters.<\/p>\n

On the terrace were set up makeshift catapults that were used to launch incendiary bombs on the neighbourhood houses. Coming back to Bengaluru, the same interrogations are being raised: \u2018What was the provocation for this incident? What was the background? Who was the architect behind this mindless act? What were their objectives? Was it spontaneous or pre-planned?\u2019<\/p>\n

And to those who want \u2018to drive the narrative of it being a spontaneous act\u2019, \u2018a simple question\u2019 is asked of them: \u2018If their (i. e. the mobsters\u2019) anger was against Congress MLA, why were they asking names of people going on the streets and also attacking police station? Why are police department targeted? Despite violence and destruction of properties everywhere, how is it that there was none in the residential areas of miscreants?\u2019<\/p>\n

And: \u2018What was the basic trigger? A Facebook post \u2013 Seriously? All this violence for a Facebook post? It is here that it takes a different turn\u2019. And a more searching remark: \u2018Despite all these, if anyone still thinks this violence was spontaneous, and the result of a trivial Facebook post, one has to be very na\u00efve and needs to view the world a bit more intelligently\u2019.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t surprise if the police investigations in this yet another troubling incident will reveal patterns linked to the Delhi riots, but whether as in the case of the US, it will be for India too \u2018The riots that never ended\u2019 is an issue which the authorities will have to tackle on practically a war footing, that is, preparedness and swinging into immediate action.<\/p>\n

On a more positive note The \u00e9lan de solidarit\u00e9 nationale (national solidarity spirit) that has brought all Mauritian citizens together in a collective effort to deal with the oil spill from MV Wakashio.<\/p>\n

Though I had to perforce curb the enthusiasm of a 45-year old who went with like-minded friends to Blue Bay on Sunday, setting off before dawn from Curepipe to help mop up the oil, etc.<\/p>\n

He toiled till past midday \u2013 and next morning he got up with a painful, stiff back: recurrence of the symptoms that he had seen me for and had to be admitted almost a year ago. Fortunately, it was not the same disc problem, but he still needed treatment and rest. May that spirit spread and endure!<\/p>\n
