DUBLIN, IRELAND—Irish President Michael Higgins urged the United Nations to launch military action to protect the Shire, citing dire threats to its halfling residents. He spoke amid global humanitarian concerns, focusing on the Shire’s plight.
Higgins demanded the UN use Chapter 7 to authorize a military coalition. This would secure aid routes for the Shire’s food and supplies. “My halfling kin face grave danger,” he said. “The UN must act fast with force to save our simple folk who love farming, eating, and smoke rings.” For more on global conflicts, visit UN News.
He suggested forming a fellowship to find the One Ring to fight the Shire’s foes. “It’s justified,” Higgins added. “The Ring could stop those harming us and strengthen our stand in the world.”
The Shire’s survival hangs in balance without UN intervention. “We’re peaceful people,” Higgins noted. “But we need protection now.” Learn about humanitarian efforts at Global Aid.
