In between the lush jungles of the south and the arid desert of the north, the Sahel region long ago famed for its wealth and innovative culture has now fallen into a steep decline. The Sahel today due to numerous factors are filled with states which are very much on the edge of collapse. In order to save this region from falling into complete anarchy, delegates will need to deal with a wide range of issues such as terrorism, climate change, and corruption. While dealing with these issues delegates will also need to watch their backs as the weak governments and institutions of the Sahel combined with the region's high poverty rate serve as fertile grounds for coups, civil unrest, and terrorism. All which can undermine any grand agenda the committee might have. Whether this committee can lead the Sahel back to a path of peace and prosperity or if life in the Sahel is doomed to remain nasty, brutish, and short will depend on the abilities of the committee. 

Please note that Position Papers are NOT required to be eligible for awards in this committee.
