"Hi everyone!\r\nMy name is Abe Al-Dalli and I am a freshman at Virginia Tech. I am currently majoring in Biology with the intent to pursue medicine and obtain an M.D. in internal medicine, and I am also minoring in economics. In my free time I enjoy playing sports such as soccer, golf, tennis, basketball, and football, hanging out with friends and family, cooking/baking, and weight lifting. I have been involved in MUN for over 6 years throughout middle school and high school, where I have participated in many high school and college conferences, and also led my high school team for about two years. Throughout committee I’m excited to see diplomatic and substantive debate regarding the three topics in this committee. I can’t wait to see you all soon!\r\n", //chairbio

"The Disarmament and International Security Committee, otherwise known as DISEC, was established in 1993 as the first committee of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Delegates in DISEC discuss global concerns, disarmament, security, and dangers to world peace in order to highlight the efforts being made to safeguard the international security regime. Within this UN body, the questions that delegates must resolve have to do with the Tigrayan conflict. Although the Tigray war officially started in 2020, tensions have been brewing for decades. The armed conflict between Tigray’s People Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian forces has officially been called a war from November 2020 and November 2022. During this time, multiple human rights organizations, including amnesty international, human rights watch, and Genocide Watch have called out the Ethiopian government for violations and accusations of genocide. What started off as a war between those two parties has turned into a war on the Tigrayan people as a whole. Despite the current cease-fire, the situation still remains dire for Tigrayan people due to displacement, sexual violence, and allegations of ethnic cleansing. Currently, areas of the Tigray region have been sealed off, with banking services heavily restricted. There is still a lack of access to food, aid and other essential needs. Across the globe, there has been severe condemnation of the human rights abuses from several countries, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for Ethiopian and Amhara troops to retreat from the region. Although there has been international pressure to de-escalate the violence, there has been no formal UNSC action, resulting in criticisms from the international community. As time continues to pass by, it is imperative for member states to act and prevent further atrocities from occuring in the region.\r\n", //com bio

"Hello everyone! My name is Leah Solomon and I am the chair for DISEC! I am a public health major with a minor in adaptive brain and behavior. I’ve been a part of Model UN on and off since my 8th grade. Ethnically, I am from Tigray, Ethiopia (which is why I’m super passionate about the topic) but I currently reside in Ashburn, VA. Some hobbies of mine include playing tennis and going to concerts or any live event. I am super excited to work with you all! Please email me if you have any questions.", //chairbio
