You invite Myca’s president and the opposition leader to meet with the U.S. ambassador to Myca at the U.S. Ambassador’s residence.
You instruct the ambassador to stress the benefits of compromise. If the election question is settled, aid workers can safely deliver humanitarian supplies to people in need. If the leaders reach an agreement, no one will be hurt, Mycans’ civil rights will be respected, and there will be no negative impact on trade.
The president suggests holding elections in six months. The opposition leader insists on one month. In private conversations with each side, the ambassador suggests two months because it would be seen as a positive timeline to the American public. This also gives the country enough time to recover from the hurricane. They agree and shake hands on the deal.
You know Myca hasn’t held national elections in 20 years. Election observers would be a good idea to make sure things go smoothly.
— Humanitarian aid workerI’m so glad they reached an agreement. Now we can really get to work helping people.
— Head of the Mycan Graphite Miners’ UnionThe Miners’ Union fully supports this compromise. This is a great day for democracy.
— The Mycan Star, an opposition-leaning newspaperAs long as the government is honest, it shouldn’t mind election observers. To refuse is suspicious.
