Welcome to the African Union!
Dear Delegates,
It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the 56th session of Berkeley MUN and specifically the African Union. We hav not launched this committee in a few years and I am very excited about bringing it back for the 56th session. The committee will be a small one, strictly comprised of African nations and focusing on african issues.
This year we will discuss the crisis in Darfour and Africa water rights. You should find the topic synopsis posted on: http://bmun.net/documents/bmun56/committees/AU56.pdf
The purpose of this blog is to stimulate debate, have, engage with your fellow delegats, start forming caucus groups and reach out to us about any questions that you may have.
Let me end by quickly introducing myself. I am Lina El Houssamy, a fourth year student, double majoring in business administration and economics and I am going to be your head chair. This will be my 8th year doing MUN and the conclusion to a truly amazing MUN journey; I look forward to ending this journey with a great committee and stimulating debate from you delegates.
Cant wait to see you all in March!
Lina
