Agenda: The Fate of Syria: Discussing how to uphold a newfound peace
After years of conflict, Syria now faces the fragile challenge of preserving peace and rebuilding trust across a fractured society. In this committee, delegates will reflect on the factors that enabled a cessation of violence and debate how stability can be sustained in the long term. Discussions will focus on reconciliation, reconstruction, refugee return, and the role of regional and international actors in supporting a durable and inclusive peace.

Meet Mahi Sahi (if she tells you her last name is Sahai, she’s lying), a perfect mix of being the scariest person in committee and the sweetest outside. But don’t mistake nice for quiet, she can talk for hours, especially about how Folklore was Taylor Swift’s best era (Do not. Bring up. Kanye West.). She spends most of her time stressing over Art homework (a decision that was COMPLETELY in her control) or writing impromptu speeches about why the USA is the worst (experienced Delegate of Russia right here). One thing you must know before meeting Mahi; keep your printer far away (The Sec Gen himself has been forced to print innumerous amounts of paper). If you’ve seen her at a conference, you know she’s arriving with a 120-page essay, 60 of which are dedicated to slander. As your chair, she’ll know every detail of the agenda, delivering ruthless questions from the top of her head with no remorse. But don’t be afraid to approach her, Mahi is as supportive as she is intimidating (her greatest trauma? Scoring below an 8 in Spanish). In all, if Mahi Sahai is part of your EB, consider yourself lucky, because your committee will be nothing short of dramatic, engaging, and absolutely unforgettable. (Written by Naavya Dhanuka)
If you’re lucky enough to find yourself in Zahra Affendi’s committee, brace yourself for a whirlwind of sharp intellect, fierce debate, and just enough humour to keep things interesting. With years of MUN experience and multiple awards under her belt, Zahra is simultaneously a threat to have in your committee and a pleasure to have as your chair. Whether she’s perfecting a beautiful watercolour painting (God help the Art students), or preparing for debate, she is meticulous and detail-oriented, determined to reach the height of perfection despite being (hopefully not) stuck at a mere 5’2. But don’t be fooled by the fact that she’s built like a Lego minifigure: when she screams, everyone covers their ears. While Zahra is often busy winning awards in prestigious conferences, she spends even more time losing winning badminton matches. To get on her good side, talk about any of her favourite TV shows (P.S: she has a soft spot for How I Met Your Mother; and no, that ending did not happen). She is extremely passionate about many things, from politics to physics. You can trust that Zahra’s committee will be absolutely epic.
