A new week and a new blog post. I tried my best to spice it up with a bit of one of the six official languages of the UN! Fun fact of the week: all representatives to the UN must address the general body in one of these languages or have a translator who can otherwise communicate.
I hope you enjoyed the welcome video...I know I just seemed so excited to make it! Trust me, if I saw all your lovely faces in committee instead of my computer screen, I'd be a lot more thrilled.
Hello delegates, Once again, it's a pleasure to be writing to you, but I can't wait to see everyone in committee. I am going to dedicate this blog post to some recent statistics about our second topic. “If the Failed States Index were a championship, then Somalia would be the undisputed four-time champion.” http://www.fundforpeace.org/global/?q=node/123 The new 2011 Failed States Index released in late June was more dismal news for fragile and failed states. As evident by the quote above, Somalia has been struggling with the problem for years.
My name is Ahmed Alshareef and I am humbled to serve as the director for the Disarmament and International Security Committee for SUSMUN 2011. This will probably be a repeat of everything I say in the following video that has been prepared for you to see me and know me. So here goes:
Snow, snow, and more snow!! But it's time to take a break and roll out another post. Many don't have school and some, like me, aren't able to drive back :( Sooo, we'll entertain ourselves with Haitian Relief!
I hope everyone had a great New Years! I hope we get off to a great start this year and keep it up until NHSMUN!
So last time I posted about some current events concerning Haiti. For the sake of keeping up with both topics, this blog post is going to be about the global freedom of the press.
Hello Delegates,
I hope you guys had or will continue a wonderful holiday season! I am so excited to write another blog post. This time, it will actually feature some content to help YOU!
