Practical Diplomacy, Friday
"Today we're going to talk about the diplomatic problem of someone not stepping down after they've been deposed," Anakin said.
"Imagine a neighboring country has seen its first democratic elections in many decades," Obi-Wan said. "For a moment, it look as if the dictator is willing to step aside peacefully. But then he changes his mind."
"How would you try to negotiate to avoid violence?" Anakin asked. "Is it even possible?"
"Or is avoiding violence genuinely your ultimate goal?" Obi-Wan said. "Your forces are much stronger than this nation's. The sitting dictator claims there were 'inaccuracies' in the vote... do you let him fly past with such a rationale?"
As he finished speaking, he began to hand out packages of information on The Gambia. "Please form a team with another student, representing another concerned nation, and discuss."
