Bhatnagar said that,” Our College represented Seychelles,so before the conference we studied various issues that the country was facing. We spoke on issues like Issues facing women and how to improve their condition,world financial and economic crisis and its impact on development,Issues facing Africa like growth of piracy in Somalia,which is a threat to freedom,and security of the seas. Also,how there is more military presence in African waters due to security reasons.”

In many African countries,there are many ethnic groups that are fighting each other and citizens vote based on the ethnic group they belong. This is why politicians manipulate them,” Mohan added.
