But soon, peace agreements started to fail and now the country is divided in a military stalemate. Standoffs had led to a cultural of impunity characterized by human rights violations like extortions, harassment even intimidation of civilians by the government forces. There are also reports that children are used in armies on both of the sides.right now, natural resources are the key of financing the conflict. In September 2005, diamonds were discovered in mines in the rebel-held Force Nouvelles and they are being smuggled into countries such as Mali and Guinea and then get onto illegal markets. The situation in Cote d’Iviore suggests worrying signs of a war economy that is thriving on the access of land and the control over natural resources. ii. Cote d’Iviore is a huge epidemic and Egypt is trying to everything to help prevent problems. Egypt wants to maintain peace between the two lands and will do anything to help. iii. Egypt currently has no solution for this problem but we will accept any highly well organized solutions that are possible and reasonable. But what we could do to stop this problem is to compromise with the leaders to see what they want from all the trouble they put and try to give all the possible things they would ask for. By doing this, they would stop fighting with one another and the country’s economy will now be stable. This would be the best thing to do it would be best if we put this solution in action.

Millions die from HIV/AIDS and right now there is no cure from this dreadful disease.HIV/aids infected more than sixty million people since it first emerged in the 1980’s. this epidemic is mainly affecting Africa and their industries, agriculture, and overall economic stability have worsened massively. This problem leaves hundreds of children orphaned and soon these orphans get diagnosed with AIDS as well. Statistics show that thirty-two point two million people now live with HIV/AIDS and every day, sixty-eight more people are diagnosed with this infection leaving many people unsafe. HIV/AIDS spread usually through sex between men and women and nearly half of all adults living with HIV are women. Other ways to spread this infection is the sharing and use of needles. Treatment for HIV has improved even though there is no cure found for it yet. There are prevention tools to prevent aids and right now, people are using education to spread awareness, the use of condoms and clean needles, and many other ways to fight AIDS. ii. Egypt, as well as many other countries are all working together to find a cure. But right now, they are all spreading awareness about this disease and many other things to help prevent this problem. Egypt is participating with many other countries in committees such as the World Health Organization (WHO) to find a cure and save many lives from this epidemic. iii. Egypt has agreed with other countries that they need to work for a cure. While searching for the cure, they agreed to concern people about the harms of what HIV/AIDS could do and do everything else that all the other countries are doing to prevent aids from spreading out. Egypt is working very hard to eliminate this virus and will work with any country to help stop this epidemic. Egypt has come up with a solution that we think is best to do in order to maintain life’s safety till the cure is found. Egypt has proposed to quarantine all of the people who are infected by the virus into a designated area secluded from others to prevent the virus from spreading. The most reasonable area would be Africa since it is secluded more than other countries. Egypt would like to for every country to help pay for this project for such things as a shelter and food and some more money on research. To make this project more humane, we will not force them to go to this facility but to advise them for their own good on them, and the people that they would harm. While in this quarantine, these people will be allowed to live a regular life and to even make their own government. Egypt thinks that this solution will be the best for all that are infected.
