Nuclear Crisis in Sudan Tests Security Council Resolve

In the Security Council, Sudan has gained access to nuclear weapons given to them by North Korea and claims they will use them if necessary.

In yesterday’s debate, the Security Council presidents presented evidence claiming South Sudanese government soldiers had attacked a political activist group. The government of Sudan responded with a powerful air strike on a South Sudan military base. Iran and Russia supported Sudan with weapons, but North Korea took it to the next level by providing nuclear weapons.

“If the South Sudan government wanted to attack, it is because they felt threatened by the Sudanese government,” Martin Zuluaga, the delegate of South Sudan, said.

In today’s session, a press release shown by the delegate of North Korea stated that an operation by the North Korean intelligence to destabilize the African continent had uncovered a South Sudanese plot to attack the republic of the Sudan a month ago.

“If we sent nuclear weapons it would be a total mess. Many lives would be lost and we would go back to times when this was our only solution,” Sofia Urrea, delegate of the United States, said.

Later, the Council president, Ricardo Perez, informed the committee that Saudi Arabia had create a blockade in Eastern Africa. This affected the Chinese economy causing them to point missiles at a Saudi Arabian ship patrolling in the red sea.

The French and German delegations claimed  Sudan should not have accepted the nuclear weapons, because of the devastating consequences they have had in the past. While Sudan argued that they will only use them if they feel threatened.

“The delegation will only have to use nuclear weapons to be sure bigger and more powerful countries do not violate our integrity,” Simon Giraldo, Delegate of  Sudan, said.

According to the French delegation, it is contradictory on Sudan`s part to say that they would use the nuclear weapons if necessary because they belong to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). This is, according to un.org a “landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology.”

Our protection is more important than an international law. We think of our people over everybody else,” Giraldo said.

Other delegations are taking action as Germany extended humanitarian aid, military aid and armies to Africa. The United States and United Kingdom ordered a blockade of both air and naval forces.

“Nuclear weapons are a great responsibility” Fernando Pereira, Delegate of the United Kingdom said.
