No Resolution for Darfur Attention was turned back to the Darfur conflict after an intense two emergency crises held the previous world stage. The Sudanese Delegates battled against the United States in the hopes to loosen if not eliminate the international strangle-hold on the Darfur conflict. Sudan’s plight was simple, They wanted as little international involvement in solving the Darfur conflict as possible. The Sudanese delegates preached of its self sufficiency, and of the grandeur of the aid of the African Union. They did all that they could to delude members of the General Assembly away from the United States’ Darfur resolution. The American delegates, on the other hand, believed that international intervention was now necessary. The ongoing guerrilla conflict has been allowed to go on far too long, in America’s opinion, and Sudan has proven themselves incapable of dealing with these issues internally. When it came time to vote on any point of order, all eyes were on Congo as the go-to swing vote. A strong allegiance to the African Union pulled the Congo Delegate one way, but pleasant promises from the western world pulled her in another. Pages were flying to this otherwise silent observer of the General Assembly as she weighed out the vast decision ahead of her. The final vote on this Darfur conflict resolution was ready to be counted. The Delegate of Congo gripped her placard until the veins on the back of her hand stuck out; It wasn’t until the chair said the words “All opposed?” that she could finally relax. With Congo making it a majority, the United States’ resolution did not pass in the General Assembly. The delegates of Africa and east-asia revelled in their victory as the others hung their heads to the tune of bitter defeat. Sudan gained the unaided control of its chaos, and Congo gained its voice. Hopefully the Somali delegate gained some manners as well, seeing as she was kicked out of the GA for five minutes due to misconduct.
