Iranian envoy warns against desert locust attack
2020-05-05
They haven't had a plague of boils yet, so that's one thing in their favor. So far.
[The News (Pak)] Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini, Ambassador of the Islamic Theocratic Republic of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

to Pakistain, has made some comments on the attack of desert locust and the need for regional cooperation.

He said emergence of new challenges like virus originated global pandemics, climate change, pollution and infest of locusts require timely and collective response. He warned that infestation of locusts from different sides threatens food supply for millions of people in Iran and Pakistain.

This year, the unusually warm and wet winter allowed an extra generation of breeding, meaning that the desert locust infestations will be much larger than normal and pose a major risk for the region.

The envoy said it was predicted that the locust may swarm Iran and Pakistain in the worst desert locust outbreak in the last 50 years. In this regard, the two countries need more and early cooperation to prevent this disaster.

The best way of preventing such horrible attack that can damage thousands of hectares of agricultural lands is early warning, spreading pesticides and countering them before breeding.

Iran and Pakistain will enhance cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and benefit from its experiences. In the fight against the desert locusts, the Plant Protection Organization (PPO) of Iran has been reporting the situation to FAO on a regular basis. Iran and Pakistain should enhance the bilateral cooperation to tackle the situation. Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Iran and Pakistain are cooperating closely to enhance the connection between the related focal points.
