Forest ServicesQ57. Consider the following pairs :
Area of conflict mentioned in news Country where it is located
1. Donbas : Syria
2. Kachin : Ethiopia
3. Tigray : North Yemen
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Detailed Solution
Let's evaluate each pair: 1. Donbas: This region is located in eastern Ukraine and has been a central conflict zone in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war since 2014. It is not in Syria.
So, Pair 1 is incorrectly matched. 2. Kachin: Kachin State is the northernmost state of Myanmar, where ethnic armed conflicts have been ongoing for decades. It is not in Ethiopia. So, Pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
3. Tigray: Tigray is the northernmost region of Ethiopia, which has been embroiled in a severe civil conflict since late 2020. It is not in North Yemen. So, Pair 3 is incorrectly matched.
Since none of the provided pairs correctly link the conflict area with its respective country, the answer is (d) None. This question assesses geographical knowledge of current global conflict hotspots, which is essential for understanding international relations and current events.
