In the realm of global issue resolution, where bright minds converge to tackle major world problems, a group of seven students from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) achieved something remarkable. They clinched the prestigious Best Small Delegation award for the second consecutive year at the Harvard National Model United Nations (HNMUN) competition, a feat that resonates deeply with young people in Pakistan. HNMUN stands as the world's oldest and most prestigious Model UN conference, attracting 1500-1800 students annually from leading universities worldwide, alongside teams from nations such as the West Indies and Peru. It is a rigorous competition where participants delve into a wide array of global issues, ranging from Artificial Intelligence to Climate Change. Teams from renowned institutions like Princeton, Stanford, and Yale vie for top honors. Amidst this backdrop of eminent universities, the LUMS team shone brightly, serving as a beacon of hope for Pakistani youth globally. Overcoming challenges and defying stereotypes, they became the first non-American or non-European team to secure the Best Small Delegation award for two consecutive years. This achievement not only highlights the team's intelligence but also underscores their resilience and collaborative spirit, qualities emblematic of their university. Their journey to victory was fraught with obstacles, from battling jet lag to navigating language barriers. Representing Pakistan, a nation brimming with diversity and opportunities, they showcased a profound understanding of global issues and adeptly wielded diplomacy. Their eloquence, negotiation skills, and ability to articulate and defend Pakistan's stance left a lasting impression. The backing of sponsors like Bank Al Falah proved pivotal in their triumph. Their support ensured that the team could participate in HNMUN by sponsoring a student's trip. Such backing provides Pakistani youth with more avenues to shine on the global stage. This triumph transcends beyond LUMS and Pakistan; it is a triumph for all of Asia. By outshining Western institutions in a fiercely contested competition, LUMS has etched its name in history, demonstrating that Asian universities can compete at the highest echelons. This victory serves as a source of motivation for young people across Asia, urging them to aim for the stars. #support #LUMS #achievement #Pakistan #competition #AI #success

The Youth can lead if... Senegal has set an example for other African countries to follow. It's leadership has remained young and energetic since , beginning with the first president, Leopold Sedar Senghor, 54 succeeded by abdou diouf, 46. Notably, there hasn't been a coup in senegal, making it one of the stable democracies in Africa. The transition from Abdoulaye Wade's presidency ushered in a new generation of young leaders, including Macky Sall, 51 and the current president elect, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, 44. Ghana,however, present a different picture. While the country boasts a growing generation of young leaders, their strong political affiliations raise concerns. This is evident even within the tertiary education system, where organisations like the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) and student leadership positions at various universities exhibit such leanings. NUGS' adopted slogan, "Aluta continua, Victoria ascerta " ( The struggle continues, Victory is certain) originates from Mozambique's fight for independence under FRELIMO led by Samora Machel. However, in the Ghanaian context, the slogan seems to have lost its core purpose of advocating solely for students interest. 🤔Who told you the youth can't lead? The capacity for young people to lead shouldn't be underestimated. History is replete with examples of young leaders who have made profound impact in Africa. Tom Mboya exemplifies this perfectly. Through his commitment to education, he empowered many future East African elites, including Wangari Maathai, the renowned Kenyan environmentalist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and Leah Marangu. These accomplishments all came when Mboya himself was in his 30's. A true founding member of Kenya, his influence extended far beyond his own political career. 😊Depth in our call to lead.. Mboya's tragic assassination at young age remains a significant loss. However, the legacy of his leadership and dedication to education continues to inspire generations across Africa. Young people can lead when the substance of their leadership is grounded in virtue, moral courage, sacrifice and indigenous knowledge.
