RENEWABLE ENERGY by Emal Aslam

An investment in renewable energy, is the perfect way to reduce the speed of global warming. We have a limited amount of oil. That’s why Loudenia will invest in renewable energy. Our oil is imported from countries like Russia, Norway and United Kingdom. So as far as our trade relationship with Middle east has almost nothing to do with oil. But still the oil prices is raising and is very unstable. That’s why Loudenia will invest in wind turbines and solar power technology.

Those sources of energy is environmental friendly and they will last forever. Renewable energy is the future and an investment in future is not a bad idea. If we are the leading figure in this particular case, we will be able to control the market of energy.

The immigration problem

Loudenia faces continuing immigration problems, as we primarily have an industrial based economy; therefore, the country has a large immigrant population. As the current integration programs don’t seem to show any results thus far, we demand financial support for new integration programs focused especially on educational issues. We intend to assure that the primary language becomes Loudenian to further support integration into our great Loudenian community.

War on terrorism

The War on Terrorism (also known as the War on Terror) is the common term for the various military, political and legal actions initiated by the  US government, often stated to be a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Our party  strongly believes in anti terrorism. We are against terrorism and want to develop a strong policy which will help to counter terrorist threats, prevent terrorist acts and curb the influence of terrorist organizations.

ARAB/ISRAEL by Massi

it is important to note the importance of relations between the republic of loudenia and Germany.
Our friendship is closely linked and we fully support the decisions taken by Germany and its foreign policy especially regarding the Israeli-Arab conflict.

When Angela Merkel said “Germany would never abandon Israel and will remain his partner and real friend” we have friends from Germany and friends of our friends are our friends so we will not abandon Israel.

We support Israel face a threat Arabic, we ask that the rocket fire ceases immediately and we do not exclude the possibility of us engage in a military conflict with Germany

But it is not in our interest to be in conflict with the Arab countries because we have to face inflation in the price of oil.
We are in a difficult position because on the one hand we have allies with whom we are close diplomatically and economically but on the other side of Arab states which have the monopoly on oil.

therefore we must have a policy that is not a too repressive against Arabs and try to open negotiations with other economic gap between the embassy building in these countries and a partnership including an agreement for a sale of oil in exchange for humanitarian aid or economic

The Arab leaders continue to educate their people to hate Jews. When Bashar Al-Assad before the pope said that “Israel is a deicide people” and that “Zionism is the equivalent of racism”, this is nothing or almost nothing compared to what is printed in newspapers, preached in mosques, seen on television, heard on the radio of most Arab countries, not counting the indoctrination of the souls of a generation of students to hatred of Jews by the content of textbooks.

For peace can be established between two nations, we must, above all, give up hatred and terrorism as political means. But Arab leaders and Palestinian Authority have an interest in such a waiver? A peace with Israel would mean, more or less long term, the democratization of Arab regimes, and thus the collapse of dictatorships. It is better for dictators maintain their population in hatred of Jews and Israel.

It said: “Israel occupies the West Bank.” It is true, but it does not reproach the Hashemite kingdom, which had annexed the region to Jordan until 1967, when Israeli troops have occupied. But if Israel occupied the West Bank, it was not by territorial ambitions, but in order to have a means of pressure to initiate peace talks with its neighbours. Israel has always viewed the occupation as temporary, pending the signing of a peace treaty in good and due form. Only the eastern part of Jerusalem (because it contained the Wailing Wall and the Temple Mount) was annexed by decision of the Knesset.

The State of Israel has always recognized and respected places of Muslim worship, which has not been the case with Arabs: before 1967, they destroyed the synagogues of the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, prohibited the Jews from praying at the wall Lamentations or used the tombstones of the Jewish cemetery on Mount of Olives to build latrines.

The negotiations can not resume unless validly, in the preamble, the Palestinian side, it waives a right of return which spell the death knell of Israel as a Jewish and that if the Israeli side, we accept to withdraw from the West Bank and Gaza. Then, and only later, during the negotiations could discuss a right of return for some refugees and exchange of territories between the Palestinian state and Israel to allow Israel to annex the settlements into settlement West Bank.

Solve the Israeli Palestinian conflict and wider Arab Israeli help stabilize the region and tensions in regions under tension and really tight.

As a result, we propose to oversee the peace accords.
Indeed, we recognize the responsibilities of two states in the Israeli Palestinian conflict
In a first time this scale we ask Israel to stop the continued colonization of Palestinian territories and grant the return of Palestinian refugees located in Jordan among others.
We then ask the Palestinians to stop firing rockets against the Jewish state.
Then a second scale we call upon Arab governments who refuse to recognize the state of Israel not advocate an anti Jewish Appeal or racial hatred against Jews.

This respect we can thereafter cooperate with Arab states in particular on economic and humanitarian assistance.

MOTIVATION:

If Loudenia takes a leading role in the rebuilding of Afghanistan, it brings NATO and the European Union into the rebuilding of Afghanistan; therefore, demonstrating Loudenian leadership.

Loudenia advocates for unconditional support against terrorism.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO:

Send troops to Afghanistan.

We would advocate for a troop mandate to run through December 2009, to require that the politically sensitive issue be kept out of next year’s election campaigns.

Rebuilding Afghanistan.

HOW DO WE BENEFIT:

Foster good relations with the United States.

Loudenia may take on new diplomatic weight and greater expectations from the international community; thus, making Loudenia a stronger world power.

“Help M.E.” will be dealing with issues concerning the Middle East. As Loudania so far does not have any party that is working on Middle East conflicts and relations of Loudania to countries located in Middle East, we feel it our duty to change this situation.

We would like to present our foundation members:

Spokesperson: Emal Aslam

“Help M.E.” is working on topics concerning Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the recent threat of terrorism.

Policy on Iran

HME opposes nuclear proliferation. We demand that Iran immediately halt its uranium enrichment program. Iran’s noncompliance with the NPT is not condoned by HME. Loudenia, the EU, and all defenders of peace and freedom must recognize that Iran’s nuclear program threatens the entire world.
