    The delegate from Somalia agrees that solutions are needed to address the serious issue of drug trafficking globally and domestically in Somalia. Drug use has increased sharply in Somalia, with over 40% of children using drugs. The drug khat is commonly used and has become a major problem. Somalia has established organizations like the Mama Ugaaso Foundation to provide education and rehabilitation services to help combat drug abuse, especially among women and children. However, changing public perceptions that drugs are curative rather than harmful has been challenging. The delegate requests UN support to help organizations persuade communities and strengthen modern healthcare approaches to improve conditions.

    Name:

    Committee: United Nations Office on Drug and Crime

    Delegation: Somalia

    Agenda: Devising possible solutions to abolishing domestic and international drug trafficking.

    Honorable chair, fellow delegates, and members of the United Nations, the delegate of Somalia
    recognizes the agenda regarding the issue on drug trafficking, and strongly agrees that direct actions
    are needed to solve the drug trafficking problem. As drugs around the world are becoming a serious
    problem, especially spreading to teenagers and younger generations, a strong solution must be made,
    united through nations of the world.

    Overview

    Drug trafficking has always been a serious issue in the history of mankind, and has been always
    considered as one of human’s biggest enemies, but the use of drugs has risen abruptly during the
    2020s. According to the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime in 2020, 275 million people were
    found taking drugs and 36 million people were found to possess disabilities because of the drugs,
    around the world. Drugs have especially increased among people after the outbreak of COVID19, as
    the need for medicine and stabilizators have increased. The abrupt increase of taking drugs has
    brought pain to many people around the world regardless of nationality, gender, age or religion, and
    has lead to Somalia agreeing for a solution.

    Drug trafficking is also a big domestic issue in Somalia as well. Many Somali people are aware of a
    drug called Khat, a drug notorious for its hallucinations if taken. Most Somalians have taken them raw
    in the past by chewing them or through their scent, but have started to use opioids recently. According
    to the Ministry of Women's Human Rights and Development of Somalia, over 40 percent of children
    in Somalia have taken the drug, even children under 6, who have shown a rating of 10%. The pills and
    injections are popular with young women and girls and are available over-the-counter throughout the
    city, indicating the seriousness of the problem. As young children who need nutritious
    intussusception, and to be protected from hazardous medications are seen to have been exposed to
    these drugs risking their own lives and the future of the world, the world must unite to make a solution
    for the issue.

    2. Possible Solutions with Past and Current Policies

    Somalia has founded organizations to solve the issue, such as the Mama Ugaaso Foundation, that
    holds education for drug prevention in schools along with non profit organizations like Green
    Crescent. The Foundation was established in 2022, after the news of the death of a Somali woman due
    to an opioid overdose. The foundation has especially been working for the rehabilitation of women
    and children addicted to drugs, as they have been found to be most vulnerable in drug issues. Somalia
    has also encouraged civilians to act freely on helping drug trafficking problems. However it wasn’t
    easy as drugs were considered as medicines not only in Somalia but other nations of Africa, making
    them believe it would cure them while it actually destroyed their bodies. As most people didn’t have
    the chance and money to go to a hospital, their dependence on drugs got worse, and they didn’t
    believe hospitals that they couldn’t even go to. It wasn’t until 2005 until the first asylum to help
    Somali people was established, and was still not believed as most people still believed in the
    superstition that drugs including Khat was a cure. Due to the civilians and the Government’s work to
    turn the people’s minds around, organizations like Mama Ugaaso were able to start Somalia with
    fewer rejections. For a wider spread of these foundations, the United Nations should support the
    foundations and help them persuade and turn the people’s negative views toward modern hospitals, so
    that they won’t have to suffer from abnormal cures based on superstitions.

    3. Conclusion

    Though the situations have become better than the past, many people not only in Somalia, but in
    Africa and the world are suffering from the side effects of drugs such as hallucinations. To make
    matters worse, the patients with side effects are treated in abnormal and dangerous ways based on
    superstitions. Somali people would throw people with mental problems based on drugs into cages
    with hyenas, as they believed that if they didn’t have any problems, the hyenas would leave them. The
    delegate of Somalia once again strongly requests and agrees on solutions for drug trafficking, through
    a worldwide bond of nations. This delegate thanks the UN and the UNODC for giving the honor to
    participate on a global issue that is crucial for the future of not only Somalia but also the Earth and the
    8 billion population living on the planet.
