The Korean's Clash


South Korea suffered 2 casualties while 19 were injured on November 23rd 2010 due to the firing of artilleries from the North Korean side close to the disputed maritime border. What is now said as the “worst clash since the Korean War”, the event has lead to global leaders seeking peace before the water spills out. The firing began when South Korean military had been carrying out an exercise and were accused of breaking the hostilities with the North near the Yeonpyeong island.

Countries such as The United States, China and Japan have already acted towards the issue due to the threat that involves in domestic peace. China is an ally to North Korea however the foreign minister highlights that it would be better if both countries “do more to contribute to peace.” North and South Korea should therefore understand that support from the international community is minimum and precision is made towards peace and negotiations in existing disputes.

I believe that North and South Korea cannot encounter a war with each other as they lack the stability or popularity of the government, international support and more importantly the resources to fight one. I strongly hope that China, The Russian Federation and The United States alongside the help of The UN Security Counsel can resolve this issue to best mutual agreements between the two sides.

The AIC Simulation

The AIC (Arab-Israeli Conflict) Simulation is an online model of the peace talks between the two important disputed countries, Israel and Palestine, and countries that take role to make a negotiation that benefits both sides. The Arab-Israeli Conflict Simulation includes countries as big as The Unites States of America to the small political group namely Israel Lukid Coalition.

I am Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the Foreign Minister of Egypt who deals with other Foreign Ministers or delegates to discuss the ideas and negotiations of my presidents on his behalf. In a formal way of communication, I reflect on the ideas that Egypt desires on issues to the International community with reasoning and cause of such thought or action. As for Egypt, I hope to keep stability throughout the Arab world with the fact that Egypt approaches its foreign relations with peaceful goals.

I hope that the Simulation works for the best interest of the two disputed territories. In perspective to Egypt (being an Arab country), I would hope that the Arabs in these territories are given the life away from war and conflict, and additionally, I do hope that the solution that omits in the end is satisfactory and agreeable without any doubt or reason for the two governing delegates. On the other hand, being put in the shoes of Ahmed Abould Gheit, I hope that I can act as wisely and create situations that he would in a scenario that other countries persuade or invite Egypt to take part of. It is therefore that the simulation cannot be taken as a student but as if I and my colleagues were thinking on the behalf of the nation we rule and govern.
