Topic: 2025 – Situation in Mali
Country: Greece
Delegate Name: Luke Roberts
Greece cannot watch atrocities take place. It has unfortunately become abundantly clear that Mali is unable to handle the conflicts within its borders, as extremist groups unofficially control major swaths of the country. Protecting citizens is the paramount goal of any country: the failure of Mali to rebuild its security centre outlined in resolution 2100, or the services essential to a country for handling foreign or internal threats, has become a threat to Malian citizens. While Greece recognises past tensions between Mali and countries providing aid, such as issues with former colonisers, Greece has deemed foreign aid the only course of action that could potentially solve this humanitarian crisis. Greece has a storied history of administering foreign aid, providing aid to refugees and serving as peacekeepers alike. As Greece believes there is currently a great threat to civilian lives, Greece offers aid to Mali and urges others to do the same, namely, financially and by providing aid to refugees. Legislation must be passed on this topic to ensure the safety of Malian citizens, either in relocating civilians affected or removing the peril imposed on them. Due to the fact that every minute this council spends deliberating brings more civilian lives into danger, Greece will support legislation that is deemed thorough enough to solve this longstanding discontent in Mali. Urgency is urged, but ineffective resolutions are not.
