ठगी आरोपमा जनमत पार्टीका कोषाध्यक्ष पक्राउ
राप्रपा अध्यक्ष लिङ्देनलगायत सिंहदरबारबाट पक्राउ
धवलशमशेरलाई हाजिर जमानीमा छाडियो
राप्रपाका नेताहरूलाई ज्ञानेन्द्रले भने– पुलिसलाई गुलाफको फूल दिनू ! निर्मल निवासमा राजनीतिक छलफल ‘गरिबी र बेरोजगारी बढ्यो, नेपालमा कोही मान्छे छैन । सबै विदेश गएको छ, धर्म संस्कार मासिएको छ । नेपाली नेपालीबिच एकअर्कालाई विश्वास गर्ने वातावरण छैन । यसरी नै मुलुक अघि बढ्छ त राजेन्द्रजी, अध्यक्षजी’, पूर्वराजाले लिङ्देनलाई प्रश्न गरेका थिए । जवाफमा लिङ्देनले सोही कारण आफ्नो पार्टी राजसंसथाको एजेण्डामा अडिग रहेको बताएका थिए ।
रविलाई गैरकानुनी थुनामा राखिएको भन्दै निकिताले दिइन् बन्दी प्रत्यक्षीकरणको रिट, सोमबार पेसी
प्रसाईंको दुई साता : भारतका ३ सहर घुमेर हिन्दुवादीको घरमा ‘सेल्टर’ तर, सो प्रदर्शन हिंसात्मक बनेसँगै पूर्वराजा विवादमा त तानिए नै उनी पनि तीनकुनेबाट बिएबी–४२०८ नम्बरको स्कोर्पियो चढेर एकाएक भारत भागे । प्रसाईंले काठमाडौँबाट भाग्नका लागि प्रयोग गरेको स्कोर्पियो यसअघि नै झापामा भेटिइसकेको छ । स्कोर्पियो चालक ईश्वर विकले प्रसाईंलाई झापाको बिर्तामोड स्थित बिएण्डसी मेडिकल कलेजमा लगेर छाडेको बयान दिएका छन् । ........... तीनकुनेबाट प्रसाईं सुरुमा ललितपुरको इमाडोलस्थित पुष्कर खतिवडाको घरमा पुगेका थिए । त्यहाँ स्याउ, केरा र दुध खाएर उनी हिँडेको खतिवडाले प्रहरीलाई बताएका छन् । इमाडोलबाट चापागाउँ पुगेपछि फर्केर उनी बनेपा हुँदै झापा पुगेका थिए । ....... त्यहाँबाट भारत पुगेका प्रसाईं त्यहाँ ३ वटा सहर घुम्दै आसाम पुगेको नेपाल प्रहरीका एकजना उच्च अधिकृतले रातोपाटीलाई बताए । सुरुमा उनी उत्तर प्रदेशस्थित प्रयागराज पुगेका थिए । .......... आफ्ना सहयोगी दीपक खड्कासहित प्रसाईं त्यहाँबाट लखनउ र राजस्थान पनि पुगेको खुलेको छ । काठमाडौँबाट फरार भएको करिब दुई साता उनले भारतमा बिताए । अनुसन्धानमा संलग्न एकजना अधिकृतले भने, ‘लखनउबाट राजस्थान घुमेर उनी आसाम पुगेको देखिन्छ ।’ ......... आसाममा उनी नाता पर्ने एकजना स्थानीय हिन्दुवादी नेताको घरमा बसिरहेको अवस्थामा पक्राउ परेका हुन् । बिहीबार साँझ आसाममा पक्राउ परेपछि प्रसाईं निकटहरुले ‘समर्पण’ गरेको दावी गरे । तर, उनले आत्मसमर्पण नगरेको प्रहरी अधिकारीहरू बताउँछन् । भद्रपुर विमानस्थलमा सञ्चारकर्मीहरूलाई प्रतिक्रिया दिँदै उनले भने, ‘मैले आफैँ पक्राउ दिएको हुँ ।’ ........ फरार हुँदा प्रसाईंले सामाजिक सञ्जाल मार्फत दुईवटा भिडियो सन्देश सार्वजनिक गरेका थिए । सार्वजनिक दुईवटा भिडियोमध्ये एउटा आसाममा उनी बसेको घर नजिकैको मन्दिरमा रेकर्ड गरेको भेटिएको छ । एउटा भिडियो चाहिँ कम्प्युटर एनिमेशन गरेर तयार गरेको अनुसन्धान अधिकृतहरू बताउँछन् । ........ प्रसाईं आसाममा पक्राउ परेको सूचना विशेष ब्युरोबाट चुहिएको थियो । तर, आरोपी सुपुर्दगी गर्न आवश्यक सन्धि नभएको हुनाले उनलाई झापामा पक्राउ गरेको देखाउन प्रहरी बाध्य भएको थियो । बिहीबार राति विज्ञप्ति प्रकाशन गरेर प्रसाईं पक्राउ नपरेको जिकिर गरेका प्रहरी प्रवक्ता (डीआईजी) दिनेश आचार्यले २४ घण्टा नबित्दै अर्को विज्ञप्ति निकालेर प्रसाईं पक्राउ गरेको जानकारी दिएका छन् । ...... प्रहरीले शुक्रबार उनलाई काठमाडौँ ल्याएर अदालतमा उपस्थित गराएको छ । काठमाडौँ जिल्ला अदालतले शुक्रबार नै उनीविरुद्ध १२ दिन म्याद थप गरेर प्रहरीलाई अनुसन्धान गर्न मार्ग प्रशस्त गरिदिएको छ । प्रसाईसँगै रहेका सहयोगी खड्का पनि पक्राउ परेकामा उनीविरुद्ध पनि १२ दिनकै म्याद थप भएको छ ।
दुर्गा प्रसाईंले भने– म आत्तिएको छैन, यो तस्करविरुद्धको लडाइँ हो (भिडियो) उनले आफूलाई प्रहरीले पक्राउ गरेको नभई आफैँ गिरफ्तारी दिएको पनि दाबी गरे । ‘म आत्तिएको छैन । यो तस्करविरुद्धको लडाइँ हो । अर्को कुरा मैले आफैँ पक्राउ देको है फेरि....’, उनले भने।
गणतन्त्र भर्सेस राजतन्त्र : प्रचण्ड र गिरिजाहरूसँग किन गुनासो गर्छन् ज्ञानेन्द्र? २०६२–६३ को जनआन्दोलन उत्कर्षमा पुगेपछि त्यसको नेतृत्व गरिरहेका नेपाली कांग्रेसका तत्कालीन सभापति स्व.गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइराला लगायतका नेताहरूले दरबारसँग आन्तारिक सम्झौता गरे । उक्त सम्झौतापछि तत्कालीन राजा ज्ञानेन्द्र शाह राजगद्धी छाड्न तयार भए र नेपालमा लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्र स्थापना सम्भव भयो । तर पछिल्ला वर्ष पूर्वराजा ज्ञानेन्द्र शाहले त्यसबेला गरिएको सम्झौता अनुसार देशको राजनीति अघि नबढेको गुनासो गर्दै आएका छन् । त्यसबेला आफूसँग गरिएको ‘आन्तरिक सम्झौता’ दलहरूले बेवास्ता गरेको उनको गुनासो हो । ......... २००७ साल, २०१७ को ‘कू’, २०२७ सालको झापा विद्रोह, २०३६ सालको जनमत संग्रह, २०४६ सालको जनआन्दोलन र त्यसपछिका उथलपुथल प्रयाजसो एक–एक दशकभित्रै हुँदै आएका राजनीतिक घटनाक्रम हुन् । ..... गृहमन्त्री रमेश लेखकले पछिल्लो ७० वर्षमा नेपालले ७ वटा संविधान फेरिसकेको र धेरै संविधान फेरिनु अस्थिरताको संकेत भएको बताए । उनले अब यो संविधान पनि असफल भए अस्थिरताको अन्त्यहीन शृङ्खला सुरु हुने र भावी पुस्ताका लागि अन्याय हुने चेतावनी दिए ।
What If China Wins the Trade War? If Donald Trump were trying to lose his trade war with China, it’s hard to see what he would be doing differently. The president’s gambit is likely to strengthen China’s geopolitical position, embolden Beijing militarily, and diminish both the United States’ global standing and its economy. ......... China produces more than 70 percent of the world’s lithium-ion batteries, air conditioners, and cookware; more than 80 percent of the world’s smartphones, kitchen appliances, and toys; and about 90 percent of the world’s solar panels and processed rare earth minerals, the latter of which are crucial inputs to cars, phones, and several key military technologies. .......... Pivoting to producing these goods at home would take years, if not decades: It would involve forming new companies, building new factories, creating supply chains from scratch, and training fleets of workers. For it to happen at all, companies would have to be confident that the tariffs would be in place for the long term. China, meanwhile, is only heavily dependent on the U.S. for a small fraction of its imports, and most of those items, such as soybeans and sorghum, can be imported from elsewhere........ China can redirect some of its exports to countries in Europe and East Asia, whose citizens also need phones, toys, and toasters. Beijing could also give money to its own citizens to create more demand for its products at home and provide subsidies to its businesses to help them remain solvent. This asymmetry gives China what the economist Adam Posen calls “escalation dominance”: the ability to inflict disproportionate harm on its economic enemy. .......... China’s advantage has been bolstered by years of meticulous preparation. Multiple China watchers told me that Trump’s 2018 trade war—in which, at its height, the U.S. imposed an average tariff of about 20 percent on Chinese goods—convinced Beijing that it had to be ready to engage in economic combat at a moment’s notice. Since then, China has invested heavily in such industries as energy, agriculture, and semiconductor production to reduce its dependence on American imports, while pursuing a concerted strategy to consume more goods at home and find new non-U.S. export markets. The goal of these efforts, in the words of Chinese President Xi Jinping, is to “ensure the normal operation of the national economy under extreme circumstances.” ............. Beijing has also built an arsenal of offensive economic weapons. Already, China has responded to Trump’s trade war by banning exports of several rare earth minerals, a move intended to produce shortages of both major consumer goods (such as cars and phones) and military equipment (such as submarines and fighter jets); launching antitrust investigations into DuPont and Google; and halting all business with Boeing, America’s top aircraft manufacturer. If the situation escalates further, Beijing might block certain high-profile U.S. companies, such as Apple and Tesla, from doing any business in China at all. Then there’s the nuclear option: China, the second-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, could quickly sell off a sizable chunk of its $760 billion in U.S. Treasuries, a move that would send interest rates soaring, spook investors, and perhaps even trigger a financial crisis. ............... “China is ready for this fight,” Yeling Tan, a public-policy professor at Oxford University who focuses on Chinese political economy, told me. “It has been busy preparing for an entrenched economic conflict with the U.S. for a long time.” .......... the United States could still defeat China in a trade war if it does everything right. The problem is that the Trump administration is doing everything wrong. ............ Trump has, of course, done nearly the opposite of everything I just described. Instead of spending years, or even months, investing in American industry, Trump is angling to get rid of the major investments in semiconductor and clean-energy manufacturing implemented under the Biden administration. Instead of engaging in a gradual tariff rollout, the administration jacked up tariffs to 145 percent over the course of a few weeks. Instead of providing businesses and investors with clear guidance, the administration has changed its story by the day, if not the hour. And instead of building a coalition of allies, Trump has spent the past few months threatening, feuding with, and tariffing them. Even if the U.S. were to suddenly change course and try to build an anti-China coalition, a prospect recently floated by Bessent, it is likely too late. What country would sign up for economic hardship for the sake of an “ally” that has not only treated it poorly but has also repeatedly demonstrated that it can’t be trusted to honor any bargain? ............ Voters consistently cited inflation as the most important issue in the 2024 election. How will they react when the politician who promised lower prices instead presides over the opposite? ........... Many economists warn of a return to 1970s-style stagflation: the toxic combination of soaring prices and rising unemployment. ......... He has already broken the cardinal rule of trade wars—never tell your opponent where your breaking point is—by “pausing” his global reciprocal tariff policy in the face of chaos in the bond market. Even if Trump were willing to withstand the political pressure for longer this time, he’s unlikely to outlast Xi Jinping, who faces neither term limits nor elections. “Beijing is very good at waiting,” Dan Wang, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, told me. “They might not be able to last forever, but they can certainly last longer than a single election cycle.” .............. In all likelihood, then, Trump will eventually be forced to back down. This might take the form of a deal in which China agrees to largely symbolic concessions that allow Trump to save face. (This is how the first Trump-China trade war de-escalated.) But China might not be so quick to offer Trump an easy way out. In that case, surrender might instead take the form of a series of tariff carve-outs to different industries, to the point where the exceptions exceed the actual tariffs. In either case, the result would be the same: The U.S. would have inflicted considerable economic pain on itself without getting much in return. ............... a failed trade war could make the chances of an actual war more likely. You might even say that Trump’s tariff policy sounds a bit like the “disastrous” American military adventures that he has so often criticized. Only this time, he’s the one leading the charge.

Can You Prove Fewer Than 2 Crore Deaths Will Occur in Nepal Due to Environmental and Health Crises in the Next 40 Years?
Can You Prove Fewer Than 2 Crore Deaths Will Occur in Nepal Due to Environmental and Health Crises in the Next 40 Years?
Executive Summary: Based on rigorous analysis of Nepal-specific data across air pollution, antibiotic resistance (AMR), and climate-related causes, we conclude:
Nepal is highly likely to experience more than 2 crore (20 million) deaths between 2025–2065 due to preventable and environmental causes — unless radical interventions are implemented immediately.
This report demonstrates why the burden is likely to exceed 20 million deaths and therefore cannot be proven to remain under that threshold given current trends.
1. Introduction
This report was created to assess whether fewer than 2 crore deaths will occur in Nepal from 2025 to 2065 due to:
-
Antibiotic Resistance (AMR)
-
Air Pollution
-
Global Warming and Climate Collapse
-
Lack of Medical Treatment
-
Female Feticide
-
Accidents, Suicides, and Murders
-
Other Preventable Causes
We reviewed four major studies detailing mortality from AMR, air pollution, and climate change, including synthesized projections in a combined impact model.
2. Overview of Key Findings
❌ Air Pollution:
From current ~5,800 deaths/year, growing at 16.9% CAGR
Projected cumulative deaths: 20–25 million
Source: [11†Air_Pollution_Nepal_Research.docx]
❌ Antibiotic Resistance (AMR):
From current ~6,400 deaths/year, growing at 18.1% CAGR
Projected cumulative deaths: 30–40 million
Source: [9†Projected_Deaths_Antibiotic_Resistance_Nepal.docx]
❌ Climate Collapse & Himalayan Melting:
Includes deaths from famine, drought, migration, landslides, war
Projected cumulative deaths: 820,000 – 1.61 million
Source: [8†Projected_Deaths_Nepal_Climate_Collapse_2025_2065.docx]
✅ Combined Estimate (adjusted for overlap):
Even conservatively adjusting for duplication across causes:
Total Projected Deaths: 60–70 million
Conclusion: Cannot remain under 2 crore
Source: [10†Combined_Demographic_Impact_Nepal_2025_2065.docx]
3. Statistical Modeling Approach
We employed compound annual growth rate (CAGR) extrapolation based on real-world baselines:
| Cause | CAGR | 2065 Annual Deaths | 40-Year Total Estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| AMR | 18.1% | ~5 million | 30–40 million |
| Air Pollution | 16.9% | ~3 million | 20–25 million |
| Climate Collapse | - | 0.5–1.6 million total | 0.8–1.6 million |
| Total (adjusted) | - | ~8 million/year by 2065 | 60–70 million |
4. Why the 2 Crore Limit Cannot Be Proven
Even the lower bound estimate from air pollution alone (20 million) surpasses the proposed threshold. AMR compounds this by orders of magnitude, while climate-related deaths further elevate the total.
Additional causes such as:
-
Female feticide (~50,000–100,000 annually),
-
Lack of access to treatment (estimated ~100,000/year),
-
Suicides and accidents (~20,000/year currently in Nepal)
...have not been fully modeled and would add further deaths, likely pushing the figure beyond 80 million cumulatively over 40 years.
5. Demographic Risk and Population Collapse
Nepal’s total population is currently ~30 million. According to projections:
By 2070, the living population could drop below 10 million, due to excess mortality, infertility, migration, and institutional collapse.
Source: [10†Combined_Demographic_Impact_Nepal_2025_2065.docx]
6. Policy Recommendations to Avoid Demographic Collapse
Short-Term (Within 3 Years):
-
Nationalize and strictly regulate antibiotic distribution
-
Declare a public health emergency
-
Ban old vehicles and coal-based industry in urban areas
-
Build national air quality monitoring system
Medium-Term (Within 10 Years):
-
Establish universal healthcare and sanitation
-
Reforest 20% of degraded land
-
Develop evacuation plans for GLOF and wildfire hotspots
-
Subsidize electric public transport
Long-Term (Within 20 Years):
-
Climate reparations diplomacy with major emitters
-
Institutional reforms for resilience (health, food, water)
-
Regional treaties with India and China for water and migration management
7. Conclusion
It is scientifically indefensible to claim that fewer than 2 crore (20 million) Nepalis will die over the next 40 years due to environmental and public health causes — unless a national transformation occurs. Current exponential trends project a minimum of 60–70 million deaths, with annual mortality by 2065 exceeding 8 million/year.
Therefore: The challenge cannot be met unless massive reform is implemented now.

दुनिया के सबसे गरीब और संकटग्रस्त इलाकों के लिए ई-कॉमर्स: अमेज़न-अलीबाबा से आगे की सोच
जहाँ अमेज़न और अलीबाबा जैसे ई-कॉमर्स दिग्गजों ने विकसित और उभरते बाजारों में खरीददारी की परिभाषा बदल दी है, वहीं दुनिया के सबसे गरीब और सबसे अस्थिर इलाकों को अब तक नजरअंदाज किया गया है। इन क्षेत्रों को अक्सर बुनियादी ढांचे की कमी, संघर्ष, और कमजोर शासन के कारण छोड़ दिया जाता है। लेकिन यहीं पर सबसे बड़ी संभावनाएँ छिपी हैं — अगर हम ज़मीनी हकीकत का सामना करने को तैयार हों।
यह महत्वाकांक्षा को कम करने की बात नहीं है, बल्कि ई-कॉमर्स को नए सिरे से सोचने की जरूरत है।
1. पते नहीं हैं? कोई बात नहीं
दुनिया के कई ग्रामीण इलाकों और झुग्गी बस्तियों में कोई औपचारिक पता प्रणाली नहीं होती। लोग अनौपचारिक बस्तियों में रहते हैं या बार-बार स्थान बदलते हैं।
समाधान:
-
GPS आधारित पिन + कॉल सिस्टम: ग्राहक के घर के पास (200 मीटर के भीतर) डिलीवरी करें और कॉल/मैसेज करके बुलाएँ।
-
कम्युनिटी पिकअप पॉइंट्स: स्थानीय दुकानों, स्कूलों या धार्मिक स्थलों को पिकअप/ड्रॉप हब बनाएं।
-
मोबाइल कियोस्क: एक घुमंतू डिजिटल अमेज़न की तरह साप्ताहिक ट्रक जो गांव-गांव जाकर ऑर्डर डिलीवर करें।
2. बैंक अकाउंट नहीं, क्रेडिट हिस्ट्री नहीं
चीन में अलीबाबा ने Alipay बनाकर क्रेडिट हिस्ट्री की कमी को दूर किया। गरीब देशों में तो बैंक अकाउंट तक नहीं होते।
समाधान:
-
कैश ऑन डिलीवरी + मोबाइल वॉलेट रिवॉर्ड्स: शुरुआत COD से करें, फिर डिजिटल छूट देकर मोबाइल वॉलेट की तरफ ले जाएँ।
-
विश्वसनीयता आधारित माइक्रोक्रेडिट: ऑर्डर पूरा करने, समय पर भुगतान, और रेफरल के आधार पर क्रेडिट स्कोर तैयार करें।
-
बार्टर आधारित ई-कॉमर्स: युद्धग्रस्त और शरणार्थी क्षेत्रों में वस्तु विनिमय आधारित खरीददारी की सुविधा दें।
3. संघर्ष क्षेत्र और गृहयुद्ध की स्थिति
युद्ध क्षेत्रों में पोस्टल सिस्टम नहीं होते, गोदाम खतरे में होते हैं, बिजली नियमित नहीं होती, और लोग बार-बार स्थान बदलते हैं।
समाधान:
-
मोबाइल पॉप-अप वेयरहाउस: कंटेनरों या ट्रकों को चलायमान गोदाम की तरह उपयोग करें।
-
ड्रोन डिलीवरी: सड़कें टूटी हों तो ड्रोन से जीवन रक्षक सामग्री पहुंचाएं।
-
गोपनीय और एन्क्रिप्टेड ऑर्डर: ऐसे क्षेत्रों में सुरक्षा हेतु गुमनाम और सुरक्षित ऑर्डरिंग सिस्टम बनाएं।
4. Starlink का उदय: सीमा रहित इंटरनेट, सीमा रहित ई-कॉमर्स
Starlink जैसी सैटेलाइट इंटरनेट सेवाएँ उन क्षेत्रों में भी इंटरनेट उपलब्ध करा रही हैं जहाँ कोई भौतिक संरचना नहीं है।
समाधान:
-
Starlink-पावर्ड डिजिटल मॉल्स: गांवों में सामूहिक Starlink इंटरनेट हब बनाएं जहाँ लोग ऑर्डर कर सकें।
-
इंटरनेट युक्त मोटरसाइकिल या टुक-टुक: फील्ड सेल्स एजेंट को टैबलेट और Starlink से लैस करके घर-घर ऑर्डर लें।
5. कानूनी संरचना नहीं, उपभोक्ता संरक्षण नहीं
अगर सामान खराब हो या धोखा हो जाए, तो कोई कानूनी सहारा नहीं।
समाधान:
-
सामुदायिक रेटिंग सिस्टम: ग्राहक, विक्रेता, और डिलीवरी एजेंट की स्थानीय रेटिंग सिस्टम से विश्वसनीयता बनाएं।
-
ब्लॉकचेन एस्क्रो सिस्टम: जब तक ग्राहक पुष्टि न करे, भुगतान रोका जाए।
6. अनौपचारिक अर्थव्यवस्था के लिए बनाएं
इन क्षेत्रों में अधिकांश लोग अनौपचारिक काम करते हैं — दिहाड़ी मजदूरी, छोटा मोटा व्यापार आदि।
समाधान:
-
गिग ई-कॉमर्स मॉडल: हर स्मार्टफोन यूजर को एक चलता-फिरता स्टोर बनाएं — WhatsApp से बिक्री करें।
-
हाइपर-लोकल इन्वेंट्री: स्थानीय उत्पादों को स्थानीय स्टॉकिस्ट के माध्यम से उपलब्ध कराएं।
7. स्थानीय ई-कॉमर्स चैम्पियंस बनाना
क्या हो अगर अगली अमेज़न-अलीबाबा किसी झुग्गी से शुरू हो?
भविष्य की सोच:
-
Mesh Commerce नेटवर्क्स: एक विकेंद्रीकृत सिस्टम जहाँ हर व्यक्ति स्टेकहोल्डर हो — ग्राहक, विक्रेता, डिलीवरी एजेंट।
-
Resilience Commerce: ऐसी प्रणाली जो युद्ध और आपदा में भी काम करे।
-
क्रिप्टो रिवॉर्ड्स: टोकन आधारित रिवॉर्ड सिस्टम जो खरीदारी और भागीदारी के लिए प्रोत्साहित करे।
अंतिम विचार: ई-कॉमर्स = मानवीय आधारभूत संरचना
दुनिया के सबसे कठिन हालात में ई-कॉमर्स केवल सुविधा नहीं है — यह जीवन रेखा है। यह आजीविका है, भरोसे की एक प्रणाली है, और कभी-कभी एकमात्र कामकाजी प्रणाली होती है।
अमेज़न और अलीबाबा यह नहीं बनाएंगे। लेकिन किसी को तो बनाना होगा।
आइए हम वो भविष्य बनाएं — न कि केवल उन लोगों के लिए जिनके पास सब कुछ है, बल्कि उनके लिए भी जिनके पास अभी कुछ नहीं।

E-Commerce for the Edge: Building Amazon-Alibaba Alternatives for the World's Poorest and Most Fragile Regions
In a world where e-commerce giants like Amazon and Alibaba have revolutionized shopping in developed and emerging markets, there's still an overlooked frontier: the poorest and most politically unstable regions of the world. These areas, often written off due to lack of infrastructure, conflict, and weak governance, actually represent some of the greatest untapped potential — if innovators are willing to face the ground realities.
This is a call not for scaling down ambition, but for radically rethinking what e-commerce can be.
1. No Addresses? No Problem
In many rural and slum regions across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, formal addressing systems are non-existent. People live in informal settlements or move frequently. Standard last-mile logistics just won’t work here.
Solution:
-
GPS-Based Pin + Local Phone Relay Model: Deliver to within 200 meters of the customer and call/SMS them to retrieve it.
-
Community Pick-up Points: Work with local shops, schools, or religious institutions as neighborhood pick-up/drop-off hubs.
-
Mobile Kiosks: Set up scheduled weekly delivery trucks that serve rotating villages like a digital Amazon on wheels.
2. No Bank Accounts or Credit Histories
Alibaba succeeded in China because it built Alipay to solve the issue of non-existent credit histories. In poorer countries, not only is there no credit history, there's often no bank account.
Solution:
-
Cash-on-Delivery (COD) with Mobile Wallet Rewards: Begin with COD, but nudge users to mobile wallets (like M-Pesa) through discounts and digital incentives.
-
Reputation-Based Microcredit: Build creditworthiness based on order completion, referrals, and on-time payments.
-
Barter-Enabled E-Commerce: Enable peer-to-peer trading or barter-based buying, especially in war zones and refugee areas.
3. Conflict Zones and Civil War Situations
In war-torn regions, law and order may collapse entirely. Postal systems don’t work. Warehouses are targets. Electricity is sporadic. And people are on the move.
Solution:
-
Decentralized Pop-Up Fulfillment Centers: Use mobile containers or trucks as mini warehouses that can shift based on danger zones.
-
Drone Drops: Partner with local NGOs and drone tech firms to deliver essentials to isolated populations where roads are unsafe or destroyed.
-
Anonymous & Encrypted Orders: Use end-to-end encryption and no-identification ordering systems for zones where association with certain services may be politically dangerous.
4. The Starlink Revolution: Borderless Internet, Borderless Commerce
Starlink and other satellite internet services unlock high-speed internet in places without any physical internet backbone. This is the gateway to the next leap.
Solution:
-
Starlink-Powered Rural Digital Malls: Create shared internet hubs powered by Starlink where villagers can browse products, place orders, and even run micro-businesses.
-
Internet-Connected Tuk-Tuks or Motorcycles: Equip mobile vendors with Starlink receivers and tablets to take orders door-to-door like a digital traveling salesman.
5. No Legal Infrastructure or Consumer Protection?
If things go wrong — damaged goods, fraud, or theft — there’s often no legal recourse.
Solution:
-
Reputation and Social Credit Systems: Leverage hyperlocal networks to rate sellers, buyers, and delivery agents. Build trust not from governments but from communities.
-
Smart Contract Escrows: Use blockchain-based escrow systems where money is only released when delivery is confirmed via GPS/photo/verbal confirmation.
6. Building for the Informal Economy
In many poor countries, over 80% of the population works informally. Most people hustle day to day. Time and flexibility are currency.
Solution:
-
Gig E-Commerce: Let people become micro-resellers. Let every smartphone user with WhatsApp become a storefront. You buy from a friend, not a warehouse.
-
Hyper-Localized Inventories: Partner with local micro-entrepreneurs to stock and fulfill hyper-local items — from soap to sandals — within their neighborhoods.
7. From Survival to Sovereignty: Creating Local E-Commerce Champions
What if the future of global e-commerce isn’t just about exporting Amazon’s model to every corner of the earth, but empowering local systems that leapfrog ahead?
Future Vision:
-
Mesh Commerce Networks: A distributed system where local players — drivers, sellers, customers — are all stakeholders in a co-op style network.
-
Resilience Commerce: Systems that are offline-tolerant, conflict-aware, and built for bounce-back in disasters and war.
-
Crypto Incentives: Reward participation and loyalty in the e-commerce ecosystem using regionally pegged tokens — usable for purchases or tradable online.
Final Word: E-Commerce as Human Infrastructure
In the world’s toughest environments, e-commerce can’t be just about convenience. It has to be about survival, dignity, and economic inclusion. It’s not just a platform to buy things — it’s a lifeline, a job engine, a source of trust, and sometimes, the only functioning system left.
Amazon and Alibaba won’t build these systems. But someone must. The markets of tomorrow won’t be won by the best algorithms alone — they’ll be won by those who dare to face ground realities and serve humanity’s hardest-to-reach dreams.
Let’s build that future. Not for the privileged few — but for the billions still offline, still underserved, still waiting.
