Part 1 of your task asks you to:
Select a country involved in an armed conflict (war). Examples include: Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Chechnya, or any other nation currently involved in an armed conflict.

Part 2 outlines what should be included in your prepared speech. The first two points are:

• Identify the country/countries involved in the conflict
  
• Briefly explain what the conflict is about
