Hi Al Jazeera. I have a question. Surely Qatar is a secular democracy for you to be talking about secular and democratic values in other countries right?

why aljazeera is not reporting about what happen in Kyrgyzstan, when it happen in india al ajazeera is covering that issue in deep.. but same kind of thing happen in another country behaviour of jal jeera is totaly different and ignorant

[@atulmohan2833]

Everybody has their agenda, even Al Jazeera. but try to still see facts one picks up against other. If there is merit in that fact then take it. Leave their interpretation of how bad the the other side is. That you do based on your rationale. This is new world and new media- no one is really doing impartial 100% just reporting. But just that some are doing real stories just may be over hyping it to defame entire opponent system. But facts are always facts. Learn to just take that and leave the rest. Else our society won't improve.

[@Shruti2221]

Actually he is totally subjective... He didn't even cover the protests of Pakistan

[@Meulny85]

Are you saying this should not be reported because its in India.

Israeli forces have carried out at least eight strikes on aid workers’ convoys and premises in Gaza since October 2023, even though aid groups had provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities to ensure their protection. As of April 30, the UN reported that 254 aid workers had been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with UNRWA personnel accounting for 188 of these fatalities .

@@OSNLebuna the situation in Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan is quite recent and they are probably waiting for further developments before covering the issue. This video has obviously been in the works since a long time. Al Jazeera is funded by Qatari Government so as long as the news isn't related to either Qatar or Saudi Arabia, they are a quite reliable news source.
