About What Passed and What Will Come

by | Nov 11, 2015 | Ceremonies and Outings

A night filled with tears, laughter, excitement and sorrow, the closing ceremony rendered us speechless. We said goodbye to Seif, Hania, and Rabie, along with their meticulous Organisation Team and Student Officers, but said hello to Nada, Youssef and Malak, who we are sure are going to ace their posts. Seif, with his weird dance moves and heartfelt gestures, was the one who absorbed all of the team’s anger, and sometimes let it out on the very same team members! Although, he was always one to feel guilty after having had done so, and immediately apologised, not knowing that we could never be upset with him, what with all that he did for us as a team, to build strong friendships that we are sure, will last a lifetime. Hania, the calm deputy secretary general that was all smiles during the plenary sessions as well as the actual conference. She was everyone’s rock, and was the only one you knew you could vent to, concerning your work and whatnot, and have her comfort you efficiently. Rabie… So much to say, but no words to say it with. Rabie was the one you could also vent to, and have him join in on your frustration, like you were the fire and he was the fuel. Despite that, he was an absolute pleasure to work with, and no one could’ve put it better than Habiba el Molla, member of the Approval Pannel, when she said “MUN is like Rabie’s only daughter, and he had just given her away to marriage, the husband being the new Secretariat.” Speaking of, Nada Gabr, Youssef...

Head to Head

The topic discussed in the Big GA was “Sustainable Development in the Middle East and Northern Africa”, which started with a lobbying and merging session on Monday, November 9th 2015. The latter went as following: they all discussed their countries’ foreign policies as well as their ideologies and such, to help them decide who to co-submit with. That being said, the main submitters were USA and China, each writing a resolution of their own. The group supporting China, divided themselves into three groups to assure organisation; one group was discussing the economical aspects for the resolution, the second one was responsible for environmental issues, and the third group made a point of discussing the social aspects to take into consideration when writing a resolution. The group representing the United States of America came up with a few solutions to form the necessary clauses; one of them being increasing trades between the MENA -Middle East Northern Africa- countries to take part in the economical development, seeing as some countries have products to export that can definitely help other countries. Following the before-stated lobbying and merging session, the actual Big GA took place the following day, with the main submitters having had submitted their resolutions earlier. The first resolution submitted was that of the United States of America, which hinted on financial aid from more developed countries to those who are less developed. They also mentioned social equality, which had in thought gender equity to provide a stable and friendly society to live in. Countries like Ukraine spoke in favour for the resolution submitted by USA, while other countries like Iraq...

On this day, the MUN Security Council was talking about Yemen and the Huthii rebels and they were talking about how the Huthis are attacking and occupying the Yemeni territory. The Agenda of the council that day was to find adequate solutions to this issue.  The Russian delegation suggested providing humanitarian aid to the Yemeni republic. The representative of the Nigerian republic raised a point of information in regards the number of countries willing to contribute in the humanitarian aid. The resolution passed with a remarkable majority. The United States representative submitted a resolution, urging all countries to collaborate and reach an agreement to help achieve political stability in Yemen. China and the Russian federation vetoed two clauses that suggested continuing the air strikes in Yemen. Another suggestion was to ban the Huthi leader and his son from traveling to be trialed by the International Criminal Court. The majority of the honorable delegates in the council agreed on this clause, and thought that this solution will contribute effectively in resolving the Yemeni situation. The council had a remarkably fruitful debate.   AHMED OMAR with the help of Rodayna...

DON’T START WAR BASED OFF FEAR BUT BASED ON ACTIONS

by | Nov 11, 2015 | Uncategorized

On the 3rd day of OISMUN, the committee of special conference was arguing on the second topic: The 6th of October 1973 Yom Kippur war, also known as the Arab-Israeli war. They were doing their best to find solutions to the Israeli invasion of Sinai and the Golan Heights. The committee were debating about the resolution that the delegation of United States of America submitted, one of the delegates requested dividing the issue into two parts, and now they have to deal with two different resolutions.  The chair took the place of the Israeli delegate to argue with the one of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The latter offended Israel so they had to apologize. The USSR Union of Soviet Socialist Republics believed that Israel started a war based on fear not on actions. The USSR added that Israel was invading Sinai and the Golan heights, and all that Egypt did was trying to get their land back and avoid war. Religion cannot be an excuse to send Syria and Egypt to the international court of justice. Menna Asran Jannah...
