In a turn of events that would make any seasoned delegate’s head spin, two delegates found themselves “kicked out” or, as they claimed, merely “demoted to observer states” of HAL during an interview that swiftly descended into chaos.
First up was the delegate from Syria, who, when confronted with the news of his apparent demotion, didn’t miss a beat. Instead of admitting defeat, he launched into a passionate defence, claiming that his fall from grace had nothing to do with his behaviour, but because of SIGMA’s recent takeover. According to Syria, he wasn’t “kicked out” in the traditional sense—no, he was merely “reduced to an observer state” in what he spun as a tactical manoeuvre. Whether this was a genuine belief or a desperate attempt to save face, no one could tell, but it added a bizarre twist to an already tense situation.
Meanwhile, the delegate from Algeria was having none of it. When questioned about her own demotion, she didn’t just get defensive—she got downright combative. Algeria furiously denied allegations that she was bumped down because she was allegedly “annoying af.” According to her, this was nothing more than a conspiracy, a well-coordinated effort by the dais and delegate of Bahrain to undermine her influence, claiming they- “lobbied against her.”
The tension reached a boiling point when Algeria, in an apparent fit of frustration, lashed out—literally. Witnesses saw her kick the plaque card of Bahrain, a move so unexpectedly childish that it left onlookers momentarily speechless.
Was Algeria truly the victim of a well-organised smear campaign by the dais, or was there some truth to the “annoying af” accusations she so furiously denied?
What was clear, though, was that the chaos hadn’t shaken the confidence of either delegate. Syria stuck to his story of a government hijacked by Sigma, spinning his observer status as a strategic choice. Algeria, still seething and unapologetically agressive, doubled down on her claim of a targeted campaign, positioning herself as the victim of conspiracy.
Whether the delegates were stubbornly resilient, masterful in their spin, or simply in denial was up for debate. But the spectacle they created was impossible to ignore—a diplomatic drama filled with heated words, wild accusations, and enough raw emotion to keep the entire committee talking for days.
