A Comoros Future

The past four days I've been at Harvard Model United Nations, a simulation of the United Nations, in which students represent delegations from different UN countries in the different assemblies of the UN. I represented Iran in Special Political and Decolonization, where we were debating missile defense systems. Many many amusing and interesting things happen, so I'll try and get to telling a few stories, but here's one for starters.

There are two parts of the conference, that which goes on in the committee room, and that which goes on outside of it. Inside, people make speeches, spar verbally, vote and follow parliamentary procedure. Outside, working papers and resolutions are written, delegates network and form alliances.

I'll share with you my favorite semi-serious speech, made by Comoros:

"Fellow delegates: In this dangerous world, I live in fear every day that someone will show up at my doorstep with nuclear missiles. But I hope one day I can wake up in a peaceful world, in a safe world. A Comoros world."

More to come when I am not so exhausted, I hope this will last you until then.
