The document discusses the use of child soldiers in Sudan and potential solutions. It notes that rebel armies in Sudan use child soldiers who are drugged to carry out tasks like killing civilians. The US could increase funding for peacekeeping forces, engage with countries like China to help end the violence, support the ICC investigation, and impose stronger sanctions. However, donating to organizations like Invisible Children is suggested as the best solution to provide resources for Sudanese people without risks of US military intervention.

Part c presentation
The document discusses the use of child soldiers in Sudan. It outlines economic, social, and political causes such as civil war, lack of resources, and Joseph Kony's rebel army. Effects include extreme poverty, reliance on aid, and the drugging and forced recruitment of children. Two solutions proposed are US intervention or donating to organizations like Invisible Children. The author argues donating to organizations is the best approach as it directly provides aid without risks or costs of military involvement.
Powerpoint syrian refugee crisis
The document discusses the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis. It began in 2011 with citizens seeking economic rights, which escalated into a civil war involving foreign powers. As conditions deteriorated, many Syrians fled the country to escape the deadly conflict.

It suggests ways to help refugees such as donating supplies, acknowledging their plight, and supporting aid organizations working in Syria.
Week 11, the roles of president
The document outlines the roles of the President in the US foreign policy making process. It discusses that the President determines foreign policy, organizes related government departments, and negotiates treaties with other nations. The President can respond to foreign events, propose legislation, negotiate agreements, and take independent actions to constitute foreign policy. Congress then advocates for, changes, or approves the President's plans. The President receives advice from bodies like the National Security Council, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, CIA head, and Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Final gp team project (1) 2
This document discusses causes of conflict and ways to achieve peace. It explores conflicts in Nigeria from personal, local and global perspectives. Some ongoing conflicts in Nigeria include those between Boko Haram and the military, and between herdsmen and farming communities. The conflicts in the Niger Delta over oil pollution and its impacts on local communities are also examined. The document suggests that teaching conflict resolution skills in schools and homes could help address conflicts in Nigeria. Globally, the main causes of conflict discussed are inequality, competition over scarce resources like food and energy, and struggles for resource control.
Poverty
Muhammad Yunus founded the Grameen Bank in 1983 to provide small loans to poor villagers in Bangladesh who lacked access to traditional banking. The bank charges low interest rates and focuses on funding small businesses. As a result of Grameen Bank's efforts, millions have been lifted out of poverty as borrowers are able to improve their businesses and financial stability. While Singapore is wealthy, there remains a wealth gap and pockets of poverty that could be addressed through increased access to credit, education, healthcare, and empowering communities to help the most vulnerable.
They advocate the negotiation
Ban Ki-moon advocated for negotiations to resolve the Syrian conflict, which he said has become sectarian. Several international voices are calling for armed conflict in Syria to end and be replaced with dialogue and negotiations for a political solution. This shift is due to factors such as the US focusing on domestic issues following a mass shooting, reducing international pressure on Syria, and a potential nuclear deal with Iran creating space for direct opposition negotiations.

Alemayehu final power point
The document discusses the difficult journey that refugees face. Refugees flee their home countries due to crises and persecution, enduring detention and torture. They seek refuge in neighboring countries for safety, but still face hardship with lack of documents and being relocated to remote areas with limited access to education, healthcare, and rights. The conditions refugees face are due to bad leadership and leaders staying in power too long. Climate change also affects people worldwide, so world leaders must work together on lasting solutions.

The document discusses several major issues regarding North Korea including its isolationist policies, struggling economy, ongoing rivalry with South Korea, and active nuclear program. It outlines the historical political division of Korea that led to separate North and South governments. North Korea now suffers from food shortages, poor infrastructure, and spends heavily on its military and nuclear activities, which are a source of international concern.
Syrian refugee crisis
The document discusses the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis resulting from the country's civil war. Over half of Syria's population has been killed or forced to flee their homes, with millions becoming refugees in neighboring countries and thousands risking their lives to reach Europe. There is a lack of safe routes for refugees to find sanctuary, and many languish for years without proper housing, food, healthcare or education. While most refugees want to return home, world leaders must address the crisis by providing better refugee support and solutions or increased instability and human suffering will likely continue.

Assignment 3 - Conflict Negotiation
The document discusses the ongoing conflict in Syria. It describes how the civil war began as protests in 2011 against the corrupt government but escalated as the government responded violently. This allowed other political parties and terrorist groups like ISIS to get involved, worsening the conflict. Over 330,000 people have been killed so far including 30,000 children. Millions more have been displaced and become refugees. While negotiations have attempted to resolve the conflict, compromising to stop the violence and collaborating with all parties may offer a better path forward.

Peace Conflict and Development
The document discusses the relationship between peace, conflict, and development. It provides perspectives from several sources that peace is a prerequisite for development and that countries experiencing armed conflict generally rank low in human development. The document then examines reasons for conflicts, the occurrence of conflicts in relation to lack of development, and the circular relationship where development can reduce roots of conflict and reduced conflict can lead to more development. It analyzes conflict-sensitive approaches to development and provides examples from Kenya and Nepal. Finally, it evaluates the impacts of conflicts in Mozambique, Sri Lanka, and Colombia on hindering human development.

Lesson 3.8 (ten social)
Ageing is a natural process that everyone experiences as they grow older. Most countries designate old age as 60 years or older. Senior citizens face various mental and physical challenges as they age, such as health problems, loneliness from lost loved ones, and doubts about the present and afterlife. Their care requires addressing not just medical and financial needs, but also spiritual well-being. As members of society, we should support senior citizens through day centers, allowances, healthcare, and by engaging their expertise through advisory roles. Families also play a key role in providing senior citizens with emotional support and a safe home environment. Governments establish social security programs and reserve public services and amenities for senior citizens' welfare.
Updated: Syrian Refugees in Turkey
This document summarizes the impact of Syrian refugees on five southern Turkish provinces bordering Syria. It notes that over 622,000 registered refugees, or 83% of Turkey's total, are concentrated in these provinces. Three provinces in particular have seen large increases - in Kilis, refugees now make up 59% of the population, 10.5% in Gaziantep, and nearly 10% in Sanliurfa. The refugee influx is altering the ethnic and sectarian balances of these provinces and placing economic pressures, though Turkey has managed the crisis relatively well so far compared to neighboring countries. With continued violence in Syria, many refugees may remain long-term, further affecting the social and political dynamics of southern Turkey.
genocide in sudan
The document discusses the ongoing genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Over 400,000 people have died as a result of the government-supported genocide campaign, and 2.5 million have been internally displaced. The Janjaweed Arab militia carries out acts of violence like mass executions, burning homes, and widespread rape against African villagers with the aim of destroying the existence of these ethnic groups. While some progress has been made in raising awareness, more action is needed to help the millions of lives impacted by the ongoing conflict.

Childsoldiers
Child soldiers are a major issue in Sudan, where up to 300,000 children under 18 serve in armed groups. Children as young as 8 are used as soldiers, porters, cooks, and more, and face being sent to the front lines or into minefields. Girls may be raped or given as wives to commanders. Children are vulnerable to recruitment due to manipulation, and join due to pressure, seeking food or security. The use of child soldiers is an issue across Africa. The Sudanese civil war has involved child soldiers since 1983 and stems from tensions between northern and southern Sudan when Britain ruled.

A representative from Nonviolent Peaceforce visited to check on the children's welfare and engage officials. They conducted an orientation on child rights violations. A local official then raised the issue of the children living in the abandoned building. As a result of increased awareness, including a television documentary, donors expressed interest in funding solutions.
