The African Union was a sight to see; delegates cross-talking, yelling, and whatnot. Such incompetence and lack of discipline is truly rare.
Somalia was targeted by Morocco and his economy was called unstable. Somalia rightfully utilised his right to reply to say that the delegate of Morocco was smart and amazing for their brilliant solutions. This is the level of absurdity in AU. After a brief informal (one of the many) the AU delegates were once again in the speakers list for their debate to begin. They instead chose to collectively stare daggers at their fellow committee members without taking any sort of action themselves. The only valid question is that was this a lack of sense at the time or something that will persist over the course of their debate? Yet after all of this, AU still shocked everyone including their dais by not knowing what a working paper is and calling it a position paper. The chairs were constantly in informal sessions just to explain to a majority of the clearly ill-prepared delegates the basic study guide.
AU has not shown any signs of hope for the future during their committee session. How they are in power is a true mystery. Their lack of helpful contributions makes their committee one left in a sorrowful state. Somalis should consider leaving Africa just to change the leadership under which they are.
