Storm of ideas… Produce solution to the Sudan problems!!

intense discussion on the floor
When the delegates came out of their tables and sat on the floor to informally debate for a proper formal solution of Sudan’s problems, no one expected this to be possible. But the bouncing around of ideas, the solution to Sudan’s problem has a plausible solution.
The delegates were sitting or standing in a gigantic circle, with idea circling around like a typhoon around the hall. The problem was clearly of interest to all delegates.  A lot of ideas were proposed, which proved to be a disadvantage. The vice-chair kept pooping in and out with ideas like, “whoever has the gavel can talk”. The session ended, finally, after a couple of proposals and objections were debated.   Order was restored and the entire delegation went back to their seats.

Then a motion for a moderated caucus on this issue arose, proposed by the delegate of Swaziland. Every delegate came up with a variety of ideas.

The delegate of Namibia, the one who took this issue way up the ladder, proposed that the region of Abyei be under the control of African union forces.

But this was taken as a side dish when the delegate of Nigeria proposed a peace-talk and peace agreement between South Korea and North Korea. Many nations came up with excellent ideas ad proposals to improve this situation. For example, Western Sahara wanted to limit trade with Sudan.

The following are the solutions that came up during the debate. After several heated discussions, the following decisions were made.

  1. Weapon control was to be taken up by embargo in the oil and weapon transactions between countries and north and south Sudan
  2. Elections be held I southern Sudan as fast as possible.
  3. UN peacekeeping forces be deployed in the region.
  4.  The African union forces deployed as soon as possible.
  5. North Korea and south Korea sign a peace keeping agreement

But only the last one was passed as rest all were voted out as impossible or risky.
