Crisis of the Middle East last night, after the friendship ceremony, a crisis arose in Pakistan. This crisis was that one of their cities, Taliban, had attacked the capital of their country and had taken over; controlling all military and nuclear devices. During the meeting a representative of Taliban joined the meeting. The Secretary General, Tiffany Lam, announced that this group that claims to be in charge of the Pakistani government was not to be recognized. When asked about the reasons of this invasion the Taliban representatives said they wanted to be left alone and that the government had a right to do what they wanted, it’s their country. After the United States of America spoke his opinions on peace, Taliban shot his opinions down by mentioning the way America was separated from Britain. The U.N inquired what the Taliban government would do if they invaded. The answer to this was nuclear war fare. Some countries, like Turkey, sided with Taliban. Libya also drafted a resolution in which the western world must recognized them as a new government, remove all western world armies, and leave them alone. Libya is willing to relinquish the help of the United Nations. Burkina Faso, Libya, and Turkey sided with resolution but non of the other countries did. At one o’clock Madam Secretary declared a recess until the next morning.

Thank you press. A few quick comments follow: Firstly, the crisis did not originally specifically say that the Nuclear devices were controlled by the Taliban. The original crisis stated that the Pakistan government no longer had confidence over the security of their nuclear weapons. This simply states that the Pakistan Government did not know where, exactly, that the Nuclear weapons were. It was later discovered [In the morning when the Taliban threatened to send nuclear missiles to countries which did not side with them], that the nuclear weapons were for sure in the hands of the terrorists. Also, when in the article it states that the Taliban wanted to be left alone, they were actually happy to negotiate with the Muslim countries in the Security Council. In fact, they came up with a resolution that was failed. It stated: The peoples of Pakistan would like to be recognized as the official government of Pakistan. “We would like full and complete rule of Pakistan without intervention of the United Nations or other countries.” Later on, they specifically said that they would set off their Nuclear Warheads as soon as a foreign foot was set into their country. This presented a crisis to solve, however it was too late to address it. The Secretary General called the meeting to Recess, and the meeting was continued in the morning. Hopefully, the final resolutions decided by the Security Council will be posted on this website. If not, I can fill everyone in with another comment or blog entry. Thank you.

2009 President of the Security Council
