IGA SOLUTION TO SITUATION IN KAFURISTANFindingsWe have found Kafuristan to be a decaying democracy, with questionable elections and no real opposition to the ruling party. The elections have not been subject to international observation, and therefore the mandate the regime claim they have is invalid. While the government does enjoy the support of many, there is still concern among the Kafuri people, which has been shown by counter-revolutionary forces in 4473. The Kafuri regime's disregard of the safety of their own people was shown when 3,500 civilians were killed when they attacked rebels in the province of Jerze'har.
Despite this, we have found some of the accusations levelled at Kafuristan are lacking evidence. The claim that the Kafuri regime is attacking human rights has some merit, however they have also advanced the rights of their citizens in many key areas. For example, the
Founding The Workers' Republic Bill gives women the same working rights as men. Furthermore, the bill legalises trade unions and strikes. We have found the regime is doing much to help the working-classes in Kafuristan. Nonetheless, there have been some attacks on the rights of citizens. This is shown in the
On Property Ownership Bill, which gives the government the right to seize property for any reason. There are also concerns about the regimes control of the internet.
We have found the economic situation in Kafuristan to be difficult, with those at the bottom suffering the most from the medicine shortages. Moreover, trade embargoes imposed by the Alorian government and the Kizenian government have made matters worse. The government has had to supply substitute foods, and the situation could drastically worsen to the point of food shortages if the embargoes continue. While the trade embargoes were put in place in response to the actions of the Kafuri regimes, they are not helping people in Kafuristan.
Key ProposalsWe have set out three key proposals which provide a basic outline of what needs to happen if a solution is to be achieved.
- Halting of trade embargoes placed on Kafuristan, provided the following conditions are met:
1. International observers are allowed to monitor the next election
2. Basic human rights are guaranteed to ALL citizens
3. The Kafuri government formally apologises for its past actions, including the killing of 3,500 civilians
- International aid should be provided to Kafuristan in order to provide food and medicine. In order for ordinary people to benefit from this, the following condition must be met:
1. International aid agencies must be allowed to enter Kafuristan to provide aid themselves. Aid given in the form of finance to the government may result in this money being used for purposes other than providing aid.
- Governments should respect the sovereignty of Kafuristan. While many nations may disavow communism, there has to be respect for the Kafuri regime to follow this ideology, PROVIDED they have a mandate from the people of Kafuristan.
ConclusionWe are proposing a solution which would require compromise from all those involved with the crisis. It would involve cooperation between the Kafuri regime, the Kafuri opposition, the Alorian government and the Kizenian government. This solution can only work if ALL agree to the key proposals listed above. Without this, a pragmatic solution is not possible. We think the situation could deteriorate at an increasing rate if action is not taking soon. All sides, not just the Kafuri regime, must take responsibility for the crisis, and must work towards a solution.
