African Union concludes itself!!

African union, which had faced several great problems in the last few days has managed to come to a happily ever after ending, with its own personal closing ceremony- Games!! With a few rock paper scissors games to ease the tension and few rounds of Chrades to make it even more of an eased atmosphere, overall the African union was a difficult and challenging committee but all the delegates stayed to the rules and the pledge of the Model United Nations, and to finish off the committee they finished with a few games.

Bugs From Mars

This fine morning turned out to be not so perfect in the Historical Security Council when unexpected creepy friend decided to pay a visit to the sleepy committee session. Upon seeing the atrocious little creature which is feared by the whole world, there was a sudden outcry from the council. So who was this unwelcomed insect? Nothing but a cockroach. The MUN has seen many troubles come and go in its time, but no problem of this magnitude. Of course, there was screaming, screeching and widespread panic. A delegate commented on this issue as “ pandemonium in the form of bugs. I would have expected less if a spaceship from mars landed in here!” In the end the dilemma was solved by the public execution of this completely harmless creature. Is this the type of right type of attitude the UN is meant to have towards those who share our world with us humans?

Cultural night…or party night?

The cultural night that was held on the 5^th of February was not only an exhibition of cultural and ethnic diversity from different countries ready to show off their talents and skills, it was stress free night.

The culture night, which was held in the tent outside the Doha Marriot Hotel, was one that exposed the delegates to equal amount of splendor and fun. Though there was no competition, each country was ready to give away a truck load chocolates and to express some of their tradition to others. The delegates distributed pamphlets, chocolates, coins, flags and several other mementos, each intended to remind delegates of their respective nations.

A large amount of people did not fail to dress up. Pictures taken represent only a fraction of the people who did so. There were loads of people who represented several nations, through dress as well as by their actions. Many people managed to get all sorts of hats from different stalls. The delegates were even given the ability to pose as Mona Lisa at the Italian stall.  It was a great surprise when the DJ announced it- A DANCE PARTY!!

But more than the delegates, it was the chairs that had a lot of fun. The chairs danced and, well, partied along with the other delegates. There were also dances that represented each country. The green land- Pre Vert International School, which was unable to be present because of the situation in Egypt, was successfully represented by another student.

“Party, party and more PARTY!!” said a delegate. “This is the best party I have been to, and the best party I have ever attended.” When asked why, the delegate of Greece said that “It is international. What else can be the reason?” This was probably the most honest statement made that night.

Messenger in the night

                               

A special envoy was commissioned yesterday to visit the rooms of the delegates of the Arab league in order to inform of urgent news that will send a shockwave through the region

At around midnight last night, many doors were knocked as the leaders of the Arab world were awoken in order to be notified that the current president of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, has been killed.

Very little information is available with regards to who took the controversial president’s life, but investigations are taking place.

This is bound to be a resounding blow to efforts of peace and prosperity in Egypt- and consequently the region- as the power vacuum promises to destabilize the entire Middle East.

Just yesterday, the Arab league was urgently evacuated for security purposes as protesters attempted to break into the HQ in Cairo.

The future of the Middle East looks bleak and threatening. It is in the hands of the Arab league to salvage it or watch while the entire region is engulfed in the flames of war and revolution.

Back in the day with Rwanda

Set in 1994, the United Nations Security Council has been meeting to discuss two of the more crucial events of the 20^th century. At this time, two genocides are about to happen, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Rwanda. The United Nations is aiming to find a resolution which satisfies all nations taking part in this committee over the past few days. These two critical issues will be covered in the committee of the United Nations Security Council but for now the delegates chose to focus on the African nation of Rwanda. Rwanda, who is a part of the UNHSC this year, keeps denying the already self-evidenced and catastrophic genocide. Meanwhile, delegations of Russia, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, Djibouti and others are very determined to solve this issue through any realistic way. The countries have been discussing possible solutions which can and should be both short-term and long-term.

In the committee, yesterday, the delegates requested that government representatives of the United States and Rwanda should give their countries’ opinions on this situation. The US delegation has stated that this issue is a civil matter and the country is fully committed to working out this issue together. However, the Rwandan government did not seem to accept the war or the genocide in their country and keeps denying everything the other delegates have mentioned.

When it came to debating on the resolution submitted, the majority of the delegation has voted for it except the delegation of the United States. After this, the delegates chose to vote for each clause in order for the resolution to pass.

The debates were good, strong arguments were made, certain nations have been very cooperative and some have been getting too personally involved……

Northern Sudan declares war on Southern Sudan

The President of Northern Sudan visited the African Union on behalf of the Northern Sudanese president and declared war on Southern Sudan. He said this war is absolutely legitimate and Northern Sudan will do anything to regain their lost territory. He begged other African countries to support them.

The President said that the Northern Sudanese economy was suffering as it depends on oil, which has been conquered by the Southern Sudan.   

Breaking News!! Kuwait comments on the Arab leauge motion

          Kuwait is Against the Motion

The delegate of Kuwait

There was hot discussion in the Arab League, when suddenly a spokes person came up and said that the United States has given the option to deploy  NATO forces in Egypt. There was a important motion to prepare  NATO forces in any neighboring country, so that, if need arises, Egypt  has  saviors.

But it was evident that there was something fishy (aka top secret) moving throughout the committee. All the delegates who knew what it was failed to comment on it, but eventually, one delegate,  Kuwait, agreed to comment on this.

“The Arab league just passed a statement that was leaning heavily on an action plan." I, the delegate of Kuwait, that is, had voted against this as this statement was not approaching the problem from the right point of view." The council has been working according to an agenda that favors the Egyptian regime.”

Though this sounds top secret, this was probably a news article that were released by wikileaks. This can be accessed on the blog itself, published in earlier posts.
