This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.
Before anyone starts screaming at me. I’m not taking sides.
The whole thing is fucked and I don’t know enough about it all to form an educated opinion. Ethnic genocide does appear to be what’s happening with my limited knowledge and that is insane, but even in this day and age I am not surprised in the least. That’s as far as my opinion goes on the matter.
redacted is good but it is quite difficult to get into unless you know someone.
Couldn’t the local government actually control that if they wanted to?
I’m sure the people want the islands left alone as much as possible, and that’s fair to keep it protected. They are an island in the middle of the ocean, something could definitely be done.
Outside of maybe the military or Federal govt, I’m pretty sure the local government could put limits on tourism into the islands. I mean hell, there’s a wait-list for masters tickets (or used to be, I think it’s a lottery now but I don’t watch sports, have just heard about it), why not the same for limiting access to such a precious place.
Give people that have immediate family on the islands access, and anyone else goes on a wait list or a lottery. Obviously it’s more complicated than that but the idea is a start. But there’s probably (definitely) people making money off the tourists and in people’s pockets so that will likely never happen.
There are all kinds of things/places in the US that are restricted or require some hoop jumping to access. This, while a bit on a “larger” scale since it is an entire state, does not seem impossible.
