Zaire Bomoko wrote:GENERAL MARTY RESPONDS TO ANGOLAÂ’S ACTIONS AT THE WESTERN BORDER

“Il s'agit d'un message adressé à Lourenço d'Angola directement du général Marty, le chef de l'État par intérim du Zaïre.

Les problèmes auxquels nous sommes confrontés au Zaïre sont aux seuls Zaïrois à répondre. La prise d'autorité militaire du pays est une mesure temporaire. Ne pensez pas une seconde que nous tolérerons toute action hostile ou incursion sur notre souveraineté depuis l'Angola en raison des poches d'instabilité que nous vivons à la suite de la très triste perte d'un ancien président.

Si l'Angola considère ce moment comme un moment où il souhaite causer des problèmes au Zaïre, votre pays ne connaîtra pas de paix pour les 100 prochaines années.

Ceci est le seul avertissement proposé”

English Translation:

“This is a message to Lourenço of Angola directly from General Marty, the temporary head of state of Zaire.

The issues we face in Zaire are for Zaireans alone to respond to. The military taking authority of the country is a temporary measure. Do not think for one second, that we will tolerate any hostile actions or incursions on our sovereignty from Angola because of a pockets of instability we are experiencing as a result of a very sad loss of a former president.

Should Angola see this moment as a time in which is wishes to cause problems within Zaire, your country shall know no peace for the next 100 years.

This is the only warning on offer.”

The Ministry of External Relations returns a diplomatic cable to their counterparts in Zaire.

[spoiler]

To whom it may concern,

Army deployments to border are of a defensive nature only. Angola has no intention of entering Zaire.

There is no need to make boorish threats over the diplomatic channels.

Maintain your positions on the border as before, and we will have no need to make further deployments.

Regards,

Tete António

Minister of External Relations of Angola

Madam, Monsieur,

Les déploiements de l'armée à la frontière sont de nature purement défensive. L'Angola n'a pas l'intention d'entrer au Zaïre.

Il n'est pas nécessaire de proférer des menaces grossières par la voie diplomatique.

Maintenez vos positions frontalières comme avant, et nous n'aurons pas besoin de faire d'autres déploiements.

Sincèrement,

Tête d'Antonio

| ASKAMITA REFORMATION |

[sub]July, 2025[/sub]

| Major reforms have been passed under an umbrella named ASKAMITA REFORMS which not only are seeing results in the economics and stability already but also begin the creation of a new order it seems. In silence, Iran is on it's continuous path of regrowth, and it's becoming apparent. The first package of reforms passed are those limiting the Welfare State to that only applicable to the poorest of citizens, especially in the East. "...the people of Iran are one of the most richest citizens in the world, therefore it is vital that the welfare is cut to only those affected by poverty and issues relating to it...we are a nation of enterprise and business, and those are our core values..." stated the President. The cut to the Welfare is said to keep around $350 to $550 Billion in the Budget, money which is said to be allocated into the spheres of defence, education and healthcare.

The second range of reforms, is decentralisation of the country, with commonwealths once again gaining powers over Agriculture, Inter-States Trade, Infrastructure, Semi-Tax System, Education, Healthcare, Energy, Fishery, Inter-States Movement and Police. Each State will elect it's own Prime Minister and government which will be the direct representative and leader of the state and representative to the President of Iran. The Decentralisation is said to save the country around $600 Billion each year and with already in act, is said to increase the economic revenues of states by around 10% to 35% in the coming year. Commonwealths have already to enact major economic and strategic reforms aimed directly at their states, whether it be in the fields of tourism, energy or industries.

The third range of reforms is about the Iranian Defence Industry, making major funding towards the Defence System and the Creation of the Iranian National Security System which will in theory mean the creation of a major protection barrier around Iran. However, what's interesting, is that the President has signed the Defence Only Clause into the constitution, which means that Iranian forces can only be used in self-defence, unless the Parliament as a whole grants permission for the forces to be used elsewhere or in other purposes, meaning that for the first time in Iranian history the military is no longer in the hands of one person alone. It is estimated that the military will gain around $200 billion extra over the next two years for it's purposes.

The fourth range of reforms is about diplomacy, with the reestablishment of the Four Tier Diplomatic System. Purple, Blue, Green and Red. Purple are the oldest and most loyal standing allies of Iran, such as UK, USP, Germany and France. Blue are the allies and friends of Iran, such as Japan, Korea, Israel, Italy and La Plata. The Greens are the friendly-neutral states of Iran such as Australia, China, Russia, and India. The Reds are the threats of Iran, and so far no country has been placed on the system. The System will also drastically change the visa-system, and the movement system but also priorities certain goals, accomplishments and ambitions of the Iranian Diplomacy regionally and globally.

The fifth range of reforms is about economics, which have secured the stability of the Iranian economy back onto track and secured the stability of the economy for the future. Creating a scheme of funds, and loyalties that will make Iran's economy safer and more stable to invest into, like it was before 2024. The state will also have lower amount of involvement in the economy, but in order to keep the order and stability and the prosperous of the economy, those in charge of major Iranian companies, especially those of monarchist side, will not be touched or removed. Furthermore, major laws have been enacted to keep foreign business safe of any changes within the state of Iran and taxation on small and medium business, foreign and domestic has been significantly reduced whilst taxation of large and mega companies be it foreign and domestic will be reduced in accordance to how many Iranians are employed, and if they're employed by the highest minimum wage within Iran.

Based on ongoing reforms, President Askamita's diplomatic efforts and tour, the Iranian state is once again seeing shines of growth and rebirth, as it is said. It's estimated that the Iranian economy by the end of 2025 will once again be on a positive growth rise and increase. "...I dare to say that this is not the second rise of Iran, we are simply getting up from our knees and with that on our mind, with pride, courage and love we shall prevail like we always had. Everyone has their ups and downs...it's worthy knowing who is around you when you're down, who's around you when you're up and who wants to see you where..." - President Ashref Askamita. |

[spoiler="Love, Pride and Courage are the virtues by which Iran has always stuck by...we are here, and we are getting ready to offer our kindness and beauty yet again..." - President Ashref Askamita]

First Steps To Further Economic Reform

June 2025

The war over Laos a few years back still haunts Vietnam and its citizens. It caused a mass economic crisis, needless loss of life, and to many Vietnamese, handed part of its sovereignty to other eastern powers. The nation was now part of a collective that held a level of economic sovereignty away from its own government. While some good did come of it, mostly the powers in the collective removing sanctions they had placed on Vietnam earlier, and had helped with some level of investment , there were still blatant issues. For starters the economy had just started recovering fully, but lacked specialization. Citizens' incomes were stagnant, and most importantly, faith in the government was starting to waver.

To remedy some of its economic problems, the Vietnamese government returned to its old trade policy of "Open to all". It even invited investments from the U.S and the EU into its electronics industry as well as its manufacturing industry, offering competitive prices for products currently built elsewhere, in order to promote wealth generation for everyone involved. Furthermore, policies were introduced giving the Central Bank more control over currency valuing, meaning it could keep prices consistently competitive, while slowly building up the currency's value, allowing for the opportunity for it to be a fairer trade partner.

Vietnam is already known for having two trading centers in its borders, and for having a relatively sturdy finance sector. In an effort to keep the economy adaptable and specialized, Vietnam has offered to expand its largest bank, VietinBank, into new countries and to set up new strategic partnerships with major companies. On top of this, Corporate tax rates were announced to be cut from 25 percent down to 18 percent, in an effort to promote business growth, and the creation of small businesses. In conjunction, lower interest rates were offered to those with strong credit looking to create a new business.

Vietnam's tourism industry has also suffered setbacks from the war, and widespread corruption among low ranking and high ranking officials. General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng, announced today that; "Any police officer, border guard, or government official taking a bribe will be tried in court, and given the death penalty as taking bribery is as Un-Vietnamese as it gets."

In relation to this news, Vietnam's airline company Pacific Airlines is offering lowered economy class rates to Vietnam for tourists and those on working visas alike in order to spur the tourism and airline industries again. This as well is to keep Vietnam's economy well adaptive by keeping up with modern economic trends, which point in favor of service industries being the new money makers.

Vietnamese economists however warned that this type of growth may actually be harmful to the nation's economy, as it does not yet have the wealth to back up these proposals. However, in a slightly risky move, Vietnam has decided to withdrawal roughly $10 Billion USD out of its Central Bank to help stabilize the economy if the spending proves too much. Experts warn that this could cause a crisis if this plan was to fail or if external factors not yet considered applied themselves. However Nguyễn Phú Trọng simply responded with; "This is where Vietnam is now. We have to either fight like hell, or drown."

SUPREME ARAB DIRECTORATE: Somaliland to be Admitted into the USAN (Alzarikstan)

[sub]Grand Emir Abdullah II bin al-Hussein Administration | ABU DHABI, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا | After much consideration and extensive conversations among the members of the Supreme Arab Directorate in Abu Dhabi, it has been determined essential and appropriate for the Islamic Republic of Somaliland to become the 7th member-state of the USAN effective immediately. Through this declaration signed and recognized by the Grand Emir Abdullah II bin al-Hussein, the Islamic Republic of Somaliland is to be fully politically represented in Abu Dhabi through the sending of official government representatives, the raising of the Somaliland flag, and the incorporation of the Somaliland Armed Forces into the UADF. After the deadly assault committed by the Galla, prioritization of Somaliland defense has become the main priority fo its ascension into the USAN. Understanding that outside of strategic security, Somaliland possesses extensive untapped resources and market potential that will provide an uplift to the current impoverishment instigated by negligence and corruption. With the entry of Somaliland and its 3 million inhabitants, the USAN Supreme Arab Directorate at agreed to providing $5.4 billion toward infrastructure modernization initiatives, which includes repairing and maintenance of targeted ports and airstrips as well as the development of proper roads and urbanization projects. The Islamic Republic of Somaliland has been approved for complete open borders with the Arabian Peninsula and the other member-states of the USAN. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has personally embarked upon its own initiative in providing a $6.1 billion education and healthcare initiative in Somaliland toward expanding hospitals, clinics, and available medicines and pharmaceuticals as a rudimentary means to begin addressing Somaliland's low living standards and life expectancy ratings. With this in mind, USAN humanitarian assistance shall continue to be airdropped at designated locations until proper airfields and naval ports have been repaired to the degree of being able to acquire larger imports of assistance from the USAN proper. With a heavy heart, the flag of Somaliland has been raised within the chambers of the Supreme Arab Directorate as well as across the USAN where member-state flags are flown and represented.| [/sub]

GERMANY AND VIETNAM SIGN FRIENDSHIP AGREEMENT - SCHEFFNER DECLARES VIETNAM AS A HOPE OF STABLE AND TRUTHFUL FRIENDSHIP IN SOUTH EAST ASIA

Youkraneana

Germany, as Greta Scheffner, and Vietnam signed today a “strategic partnership” involving cooperation projects at all levels and in numerous policy fields. Relations are shaped by the many different intersocietal contacts. Germany and Vietnam will regard themselves as partners in endeavours to uphold the rules-based order, respect for international law, multilateralism, global free trade and investment, and environmental and climate protection.

With a trade volume of almost 14 billion euros, Germany is Viet NamÂ’s most important trading partner in the EU. Over 350 German companies are represented in Viet Nam. Total investment amounts to more than 2.3 billion US dollars. This investment has created around 40,000 quality jobs in Viet Nam.

Germany and Vietnam expect a possible free trade and investment protection agreements signed by Viet Nam and the EU in mid-2026 to give a further boost to bilateral economic relations as well.

Development cooperation is another important element in relations between Germany and Viet Nam. Cooperation in the priority areas vocational training, energy and the Environment/climate is geared to VietnamÂ’s Green Growth Strategy. In this way, Germany wants to help Vietnam to pursue growth which protects natural resources, preserves biodiversity and is in keeping with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Bilateral cultural relations are developing well. Many cultural, academic and scientific institutions (including the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Goethe-Institut, the Vietnamese-German University and the Federal Office of Administration – Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA)) are active in Vietnam. The more than 100,000 Vietnamese who have worked or studied in Germany form a unique bridge between the two countries, sustaining and increasing mutual interest.

General Marty: Well, to be frank Mr Bemba messed up. The ZNF had been falsifying records of what it was doing in Zaire & hiding many troubles that had been occurring behind the glitz and glamor of our wealthy urban centres. Bemba decided to position himself as a leader of the interests of the rural poorest Zaireans and the wealthy elites of the urban centres & the ZNF became furious and got rid of him. In doing so they screwed with a democratic process that had been going good for 20 years and I had to shut the ZNF & BembaÂ’s party the TRP down for good because since then, Zaireans have been fighting each other based on which party they support & the rural Zaireans have just gone on a rampage against the police in their towns.

So, I called first to make sure that South Africa is still willing to commit to the friendship it set up with Bemba several

months ago.

Is that the case?

Youkraneana

Germany, as Greta Scheffner, and Vietnam signed today a “strategic partnership” involving cooperation projects at all levels and in numerous policy fields. Relations are shaped by the many different intersocietal contacts. Germany and Vietnam will regard themselves as partners in endeavours to uphold the rules-based order, respect for international law, multilateralism, global free trade and investment, and environmental and climate protection.

With a trade volume of almost 14 billion euros, Germany is Viet NamÂ’s most important trading partner in the EU. Over 350 German companies are represented in Viet Nam. Total investment amounts to more than 2.3 billion US dollars. This investment has created around 40,000 quality jobs in Viet Nam.

Germany and Vietnam expect a possible free trade and investment protection agreements signed by Viet Nam and the EU in mid-2026 to give a further boost to bilateral economic relations as well.

Development cooperation is another important element in relations between Germany and Viet Nam. Cooperation in the priority areas vocational training, energy and the Environment/climate is geared to VietnamÂ’s Green Growth Strategy. In this way, Germany wants to help Vietnam to pursue growth which protects natural resources, preserves biodiversity and is in keeping with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Bilateral cultural relations are developing well. Many cultural, academic and scientific institutions (including the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Goethe-Institut, the Vietnamese-German University and the Federal Office of Administration – Central Agency for Schools Abroad (ZfA)) are active in Vietnam. The more than 100,000 Vietnamese who have worked or studied in Germany form a unique bridge between the two countries, sustaining and increasing mutual interest.

Vietnam & Germany Sign Significant Trade Agreement! A Good Sign For What Is To Come!

Vietnam and Germany signed an agreement today highlighting a new era of economic and political cooperation between the two countries. Vietnam has regarded this as the first important step to a prosperous future for the nation, and a new future to cooperation with the West.

The investments made by Germany have helped create needed jobs in Vietnam, helping to decrease the already lowering unemployment rate even further. This agreement has also succeeded in helping Vietnam specialize its economy further, as electronics exports to Europe have expanded to some extent. Some experts say that continuing with this momentum could see Vietnam create its own domestic smartphones and televisions, as well as other broadcasting equipment.

VietinBank, Vietnam's largest bank (excluding its central) has also seen an opportunity for growth as Germany has authorized a new branch to be built in Frankfurt, the financial heart of the nation and of Europe itself. This has led to an increase of demand for the Vietnamese currency for exchanging with Deutsche Marks, helping to improve the value of the đồng and turn Vietnam into a fair trade partner as well as helping its people out of a middle income trap. In return, Germany was allowed to open a Deutsche Bank branch in Ho Chi Minh City. This would bring new foreign capital into the country, as well as hopefully attract more foreign business partners.

Germany's support of Vietnam's efforts to convert to green energy solutions was much needed. Investments into a new nuclear power plant in Vietnam would help break the nation's reliance on foreign oil for power and save Vietnam hundreds of millions in importing costs as well as keep the nation clean. Vietnam's commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement would remain strong as it would strongly lead to a resurging tourism industry.

Secretary General Nguyễn Phú Trọng has used this agreement to signify to his people that Vietnam was improving, and that friends can be found across the globe. After such successful talks, he, along with the rest of his government are enthusiastic about future agreements with Germany, and the EU in general.

TURKESTAN HOPEFUL TO STRENGHTEN RELATIONS IN ASIA

TurkestanÂ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs hopeful to continue reinforcing positive relations in Asia after a quote on quote positive meeting between Shah Aslan RaÂ’s-Kuzman and Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in which they claim Turani-Pakistani economic and military interests coincided perfectly. Foreign Vizier Nasgul Zholodoshova stated that her ministry has been hard at work organizing interaction between the fairly new independent country and established regimes, claiming that the government in Astana has been in contact with different Asian countries to diversify its relations beyond the Russosphere and The Organization of Sovereign States or OSS. It came as no surprise that the ministry was in contact with the Union-State of Arab Nations (Alzarikstan) with the ShahÂ’s open admiration for the government in Abu Dhabi and praise of the ideals of Abdulrahmanism. A quote from Vizier Zholodoshava on the matter:

|Vizier Zholodoshava| “His Imperial Majesty has stated his utmost admiration for Grand Emir Abdullah II Al-Hussein Al-Saud, repeatedly requesting updates on our progress in acquiring him an audience with who he says is the most powerful Muslim alive, and who is to deny that? I can tell you he was no doubt enthusiastic when I informed him that our talks with Abu Dhabi had borne fruit. The specifics of the audience are not set in stone as of yet but the public will be kept updated.”

This brings into question whether the ministry is pursuing the same level of cordiality with the Arab Union of The Fertile Crescent (Asharken). Although Vizier Zholodoshava did not comment on the countryÂ’s stance towards the Baghdad based government rhetoric from the Shah indicates a positive opinion on the Arab-Muslim world, being a Muslim majority country and seeing the already strong relations between the USAN and the AUFC it would be of great interest to the Turani government to try to tie themselves into that relationship.

Additionally Vizier Zholodoshava confirmed that her office had recently been in more frequent contact with the Vietnamese (Youkraneana) Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the reinstatement of the countryÂ’s “Open To All” policy in a wave of economic reforms. Vizier Zholodoshava confirmed that Hanoi had agreed to a secure phone call between its General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng and Shah Kuzma to discuss solidifying economic relations between the two former Soviet satellites. Whether the phone call had only been scheduled or had already been made was not brought up. She further stated that the Imperial Lobby had been informed about hopes for a mutual investment fund, prompting preemptive investments by Turani oligarchs into Vietnam despite the LobbyÂ’s recommendation to wait. TuranÂ’s massive Uranium and Oil reserves have been hinted to be of keen interest to Hanoi.

Lastly, Vizier Zholodoshava brought up a lack of progress in repairing Perisian(Paseo)-Turani relations. Expressing that the ministry has had stagnant contact with Tehran but are over-willing to organize a discussion between the two administrations who have both shed drastically different governing systems in the recent past. Shah Kuzma on behalf of the country recognized that the turbulent relations between the former regimes did not have to permeate the air shared between two new governments, hoping for a “Let bygones be bygones” mentality where the actions of past actors are not associated with the present ruling parties. The ministry hopes that an audience could be arranged between the two world leaders in the near future.

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Polls ahead of Spain's midterm elections favors the right as centrist Madrid receives backlash for Somaliland response

| The Torres administration (2024-) suffered several heavy blows this July after the Kingdom of Spain announced a deployment of 12,500 Spanish troops to the Somaliland in support of USAN efforts to ensure the continued sovereignty of the conflicted area. The Foreign Office of La Plata delivered another damaging blow to the Spanish government's credibility after they delivered a condemnation of Spain's so-called 'neo-colonial and neo-imperial venture in the Horn of Africa'. This condemnation resulted in La Plata's withdrawal from the Hispanosphere and the associated fund for scholarships and education, which was planned to be a shining achievement for Prime Minister Augustina Torres's centrist government administration. Coincidentally, these blows to the government's credibility were dealt days before nationwide polls were held on party popularity ahead of the country's midterm elections in May 2026. The polls continued over a course of a week, with millions of Spaniards inputting their current stance on the nation's politics and parties. |

| When the results of the polls were confirmed and finalized, a form of expected disappointment swept Prime Minister Torres's centrist progressive Ciudadanos party, and her wider base of supporters. The poll asked numerous questions which would decide which party would be projected to gain or lose seats during the 2026 midterm elections early next year. These results will be used as official projections unless a major change is made in party leadership, policy, or government policy within the period from July 2025 to May 2026 (election month). |

[list] 1. In your opinion, which party has effected the most change to your life?[/list]

[list][sub]58% - Ciudadanos (Centrist, radical progressive)

41% - Vox (Far-right, ultranationalist)

1% - PSOE (Left wing, social democratic)[/sub][/list]

[list] 2. Which party has caused the worst changes to occur to the country since the 2024 elections?[/list]

[list][sub]49% - Ciudadanos (Centrist, radical progressive)

45% - Vox (Far-right, ultranationalist)

6% - PSOE (Left wing, social democratic)[/sub][/list]

[list] 3. Among these negative changes, which do you think is the most prominent and/or influential?[/list]

[list][sub]74% - Deployment of Spanish forces to Somaliland and the subsequent foreign backlash

17% - Excessive government spending

9% - Ignorance and/or inaction regarding issues in rural areas and provinces[/sub][/list]

- - -

[list] 4. Which political party do you expect the most to gain the most seats in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections?[/list]

[list][sub]68% - Vox (Far-right, ultranationalist)

22% - Ciudadanos (Centrist, radical progressive)

7% - PSOE (Left wing, social democratic

3% - People's Party (Centrist, conservative)[/sub][/list]

| These numbers, shown above, greatly worried Ciudadanos and especially Prime Minister Augustina Torres, who is the party president of the aforementioned progressive political party. If Vox, the right-wing party with a reputation for being ultranationalist and supportive of neocolonialist initiatives, gained more seats in the Spanish Cortes, or even gained a majority, the Prime Minister's agenda could be halted completely by deadlock and Vox's refusal to compromise on legislation. It seemed that while her party was preoccupied with ensuring that they did not lose a majority in the Cortes, the Prime Minister was more interested in ensuring that the Spanish Cortes, which served as the country's legislative body, did not enter a deadlock because of an uncooperative party having a sizable number of the seats in the Cortes. |

| One of the other seriously surprising things in regards to the poll's results was the fact that Vox, which has until recently been a relatively quiet and insignificant party, was mentioned in every question regarding political parties in Spain. Most believe that this sudden change in support and overall just thinking of the party is due to Vox's sudden interference in the silently but surely growing Catalan crisis, as they've even been declared responsible for inciting tension between the government in Madrid and the people of the autonomous region of Catalonia, who have recently been sitting silently, in agreement with the agenda of Prime Minister Torres's government. |

| However, these polls do not represent the guaranteed result of the 2026 midterm elections, which frankly is still a long way away. It is certain though that there will be a significant changing of seats in the Spanish Cortes, thanks to the government's successes - and blunders - as Ciudadanos continues on their journey as the country's most influential and powerful political party. |

A COMMON ENEMY & A COMMON SAVIOUR

[list]A huge brawl between ZNF & TRP supporters had recently been broken up by the Zairean military and scores had been killed in the process, with scores more arrested. In general however, Kisangani was one of the major cities where the ZNF-TRP street wars were dying down. This was directly linked to the increase in popularity of the NDLÂ

The NDL or National Defense League were a patriotic group that were quickly becoming the “new boss in town” across Zaire. All over the internet, their ideas and views were spreading earning them more recruits to their group and more support on the streets especially from the millions of Zaireans that were tired of the ZNF-TRP rivalries and how they were destroying the peace.[/list]

Led by the great public speaker, Antonius Bedé, the NDL believed in the Simonist Church which preached that Zaireans were divinely blessed by God. The NDL also believed that the enemy to peace in Zaire was the “Catholic Colonial Mindset”. The NDL preached that this was a mindset of selfishness, greed and oppression that was taught to Zaireans by how the Catholic Church oppressed and mistreated Zaireans during the early years of colonial rule.

Why was this relevant?

Well the real reason Zaire was unstable right now was because the recently assassinated former president Bemba & the TRP, represented hope for the poor, while the ZNF represented stability and continuation of the status quo (which inadvertently meant the rich got rich, while the poor stayed the same). When Bemba came to power many poorer Zaireans especially in rural areas, saw this as a chance they would be heard.

When Bemba released reports on the ZNF ignoring & hiding the major issues of the country to continue investing in the wealthy urban centres, the poor finally felt like justice could be served. But his assassination made hope seem lost and so fighting broke out as they sought to settle their grievances in the street.

With the spirit of divisiveness destroying peace that had existed in the country for decades, and the military dismantling the ZNF & TRP party, many Zaireans were looking for a saviour and a common enemy.

The NDL offered both. They offered the Simonist Church which gave them the notion of Zaireans being divinely chosen by God & they also offered a common enemy being the indoctrination of Catholicism and what they saw as the greed it represented. Even better, after all the Simonist Church was made by Zaireans, Catholicism on the other hand, that was a foreign import and it was easier to unite against foreign threats.

So with each day that passed, the NDL gained more supporters and stopped more violence across the countryÂ’s cities as more and more Zaireans decided to join the Simonist Church and spread the word online about freeing their country from what had led them to this messÂ… The Catholic Colonial Mindset.

The only way for Zaire & South Africa to truly maintain the order that they want on the continent is for the two countries to be bonded over something outside of just interests.

By the future leader of Zaire seeing XerxesÂ’ genuine state of fury at BembaÂ’s death, it will ring in his head as a sign that he is loyal & can be trusted. At the same time Xerxes will be able to experience how competent the new leader of Zaire will be although he will be very different in temperament to Bemba.

Understandable, because on the South Afrikan end of the spectrum, many of the people believe that a civil war is already raging in Zaire and that it will not only effect the economy, but also political stability in the region.

While on the other hand you have the military, who is fighting an insurgency to be sure. However, the South Afrikan military being what it is and always has been, is sitting and ready to go for a full on conflict in Zaire. Some units, namely those of the RSAFL and their legions, are practically waiting for something to happen.

Xerxes himself is waiting to see if the Zaire military can handle itself before he acts, hoping that control is gained. I believe that a meeting like this will definitely maintain the order, but also allow the new leader to see that Xerxes is a more straightforward leader than docile and 'pleasantÂ’.

VIETNAM ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NEW ECONOMIC AGREEMENT WITH JAPANESE EMPIRE!

General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng announced today yet another economic agreement with another nation. This time, Vietnamese officials spoke with Japanese Prime Minister Suga in regards to a new era of Asian economic cooperation. Highlighted in this deal, was a growth in exports between the two countries as well as mutual investments. Vietnam had agreed to opening two factories for Toyota, and had even offered a four year tax cut system in the hopes of keeping the automobiles made in Vietnam a little cheaper to purchase.

In addition to this, Vietnam accepted a $2.2 Billion USD investment into the nation's efforts to develop a nuclear power plant in Ho Chi Minh City. This was a significant help to the nation's efforts to move away from an oil and gas dominated energy sector. This also prompted the Vietnamese government to start developing the infrastructure in the capital to start constructing the power plant.

Lastly, Vietnamese exports such as smartphones and other electronic equipment to Japan have increased just as Japanese imports to Vietnam have. Economists say that this will not help build a trade surplus as imports have grown generally. However they do state that this will help domestic manufacturing companies which will greatly balance the offset created by a rise of imports. Fortunately with Vietnam's downwards trends regarding its debt, any slight increase in import costs will not harm this trend.

Foreign Minister Bùi Thanh Sơn, has voiced his concerns over Japan's imperial land grab of North Borneo stating that Vietnam should be a lot more reluctant to go into business with the Japanese until the situation was settled. However the government was split on whether or not to bring up the issue. In the end it was decided to leave the topic alone, as Vietnam's EEZ had not been disturbed by the Japanese.

SUPREME ARAB DIRECTORATE: Formation of The Abdulrahman Institute

- المديرية العربية العليا: تشكيل معهد عبدالرحمن

[sub]Grand Emir Abdullah II bin al-Hussein Administration | ABU DHABI, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا | With the victory of securing and protecting the Islamic Republic of Somalia, Grand Emir Abdullah II bin al-Hussein has found it appropriate and necessary to officially reveal the establishment of The Abdulrahman Institute. The Grand Emir indicates that the Institute represents public educational partnerships between colleges and universities in the USAN and colleges and universities in other countries; the partnerships are to be funded and arranged in part by National Council on Education & STEM Research which is itself affiliated with the Grand Emir. The aim of the program is to promote Arab language, Arab identity, Arab & Islamic culture, the ideology of Abdulrahmanism, to support local USAN teaching internationally, and facilitate cultural exchanges. Additionally, The Abdulrahman Institute seeks to develop Arabic language courses, train teachers, hold Arabic examination and proficiency tests, courses on Islam and the history of the Arabian Peninsula, host cultural and artistic presentations, and provide information about contemporary Arabia. As the Abdulrahman Institute is a non-profit, the members of the Supreme Arab Directorate through a particular fund known as the Collective Arab & Islamic Enrichment Fund are the main donors to operations; however, the Abdulrahman Institute is eligible to receive donations from private individuals and other organizations that align with the goals and intentions of the Institute. The hope for The Abdulrahman Institute is to foster knowledge about the USAN and Abdulrahmanism by providing information on Arab culture, society and politics. This includes the exchange of films, music, theatre, and literature. Abdulrahman Institute cultural societies, reading rooms, and exam and language centers are in the process of being formed across the USAN member-states as part of the cultural and educational policies of the Supreme Arab Directorate. The first Institute is slated to be opened in Abu Dhabi with the 7 member-states of the USAN indicating they too are in the process of allocating areas for Institutes to be formed. USAN universities and colleges have agreed to also become part of the new Institute as well as become official academic donators to ensure the Institute's success and longevity. | [/sub]

[pre]Former Presidential Palace, Kinshasa, ZaireÂ…[/pre]

General Marty paced up and down his office impatiently. He was expecting a guest. No other than Antonius Bedé the leader of this newly emerging NDL political group that was taking over the streets of Zaire’s cities and its countryside towns. After being pressured by his advisors, General Marty finally conceded that he would have to meet the man that was having more of an effect on the ground the soldiers going around shooting “ZNF vs TRP”brawlers.

[list]They were known for wearing extravagant suits everywhere & carrying bibles. Walking in single file with army-like discipline.[/list]

Finally… Bedé arrived. He would knock on the office door.

[list]General Marty: Enter! [/list]

Bedé would enter. As expected he wore a suit, although it was an oddly designed one unlike the typical Western suit and very regal in appearance.

[list]Antonius Bedé: It is a pleasure to meet you Monsieur General.

General Marty: Call me François.

Antonius Bedé: As you wishÂ

General Marty: Take a seat.

The two would be seated at General Marty’s desk and would begin talking as General Marty tapped his finger against the desk and stared with piercing eyes at Bedé.

General Marty: I have been told what you preachÂ… your National Defense League that is. But I want to hear it from YOUR mouth.

Antonius Bedé: Well, I am not the founderÂ

General Marty: I know. Your father, Jean Bedé founded it and he was a known ethnonationalist who hated white Zaireans such as myself, despised foreigners whether they be African or not & despised the Catholic Church. He tried to register as a party that could participate in elections during the founding of the Zairean Republic in 2005 but Mobutu rejected him because of his radical views and banned the NDL from politics.

Antonius Bedé: Ah yes… well, that was a long time ago. The NDL has come very far from that. May my father rest in peace but my NDL does not share all of his views.

General Marty: Oh yeah?

Antonius Bedé: Well for one, we believe that if you have Zairean citizenship, speak the official & at least one of the national languages of the country then you are Zairean.

General Marty: I was born in Zaire. I speak French mpé nalobaka Lingala (I speak Lingala), is that Zairean enough for ya?

Antonius Bedé: Indeed.

General Marty: Well then weÂ’re off to a good start. I donÂ’t need some racist lunatic running around recruiting from the masses.

Antonius Bedé: We are not lunatics. The NDL believes that the solution for our country is for a better quality of life for all. What is getting in the way of that is a mentality rooted in colonialism & the Catholic Church’s beliefs and customs that encourage greed and selfishness that was ingrained our people’s heads and make us act corrupt.

General Marty: IÂ’m no Catholic, but I donÂ’t see the correlationÂ

Antonius Bedé: During colonisation, before 1960 when the reforms kicked in, the Catholic Church practically had all control over the native population. They oppressed us and robbed us of our dignity, they then preached to us with that same hypocrisy and ended up spreading their mentality of greed into our heads. Because of it our country suffers.

General Marty: So you want do what exactly?

Antonius Bedé: Get Zaireans to accept the Simonist Church. It preaches that all Zaireans are blessed based upon Jesus’ promise to Simon of Cyrene who was also Zairean. I also want to remove this Catholic colonial mindset and keep Zaire united under a strong and stable government.

General Marty: And you think the majority of the nation will support you?

Antonius Bedé: Most certainlyÂ

General Marty: The military can’t keep control of this country. We need a civilian government, for the credibility of Zaire and for our reputation. Mobutu was a great man but I do NOT wish to emulate him. I want to give power to someone who can rally the people together, but I’m warning you. If you fail Mr Bedé… I will be forced to remove you and take power again.

Antonius Bedé: Give the NDL 10 yearsÂ… 10 years and youÂ’ll seeÂ

General Marty: DonÂ’t let me down.[/list]

The two men would grin and shake hands.

More so it has seemingly paralyzed the people of Zaire whom now demand justice. With Zaire in perpetual turmoil and chaos, it is left up to General François Marty to hold the nation together and get it back on track with the control of the military. President Emmanuel Macron has applauded his efforts thus far and has signed an aid package of up to €3 billion euros for Zaire along with shipments of medical supplies, tents, and non-perishable food items. Foreign Minister Le Drian has also sent a note delivered via Monsieur Ambassador François Pujolas which stated that if General Marty should have any requests or desire further assistance whether that be more medical supplies or military equipment, he should feel free to contact Paris. | [/sub]

Vice Grand Emir Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, on behalf of the Grand Emir Abdullah II bin al-Hussein, has demonstrated pleasure with receiving humanitarian assistance and investments from Japan to Somaliland. However. Vice Grand Emir Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa has indicated that the USAN is still not pleased with the established Police State in North Borneo and the treatment of the native Muslims being subjected to enforced cultural assimilation policies from Tokyo. Although the Grand Emir will not be meeting with the Japanese Prime Minister, Vice Grand Emir Hamad bin Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa has been tasked to represent the Grand Emir if Prime Minister Suga insists on a meeting with the USAN.

Zaire Bomoko wrote:| The Zairean government thanks the La Platan government for its support during these trying times & is willing to accept any charitable support such as La Platan medics & doctors working with Zairean doctors to help those affected by the violence in cities & rural areas between supporters of the former ZNF & TRP parties, a rivalry which the military is actively trying to end with minimal casualties. |

LA PLATA ANSWERS POSITIVELY TO THE ZAIRAN REQUEST OF HUMANITARIAN AID

La Plata acted swiftly after the request of Zaire for humanitarian intervention in the violence-affected country. Indeed, the recent events in Somaliland had already mobilized the preparation for humanitarian aid towards the horn of Africa, but following the end of the hostilities and the USAN handling the reconstruction and support to the local population of Somaliland, the humanitarian aid was rerouted in direction of Zaire. Over 250 doctors and nurses are sent, with over 25 tons of medical supplies destined to the wounded population of Zaire. La Plata also approved an emergency fund of 150M$ for the immediate operations and and additionnal 350M$ for the reconciliation and reconstruction of the country after its stabilization.

La Plata and Zaire are strong partners for a decade already and the situation occuring in Zaire touched the population, especially the Zairan diaspora. La Plata guarantees the future government of Zaire that friendship will continue and investments in the country will be reviewed upwards after the crisis has passed.

La Plata finally requests 50 of its Marines to accompany the doctors and nurses on the terrain for their safety. They would only use the force in self-defense. They could help local Zairan forces to defuse any escalation of violence, if needed and would augment the security int he Platino consulates in Zaire, which will open their doors for any Zairans seeking temporary refuge if violence escalate nearby.

The Platino ambassador to Angola, The honorable Federico Jorge Manuel Silva Garreton, has issued a warning to the citizens of La Plata in Angola and in Zaïre to thread with caution during the sad events happening in Zaïre and the tensions rising in the region as a result. Mr. Garreton sent a message to both the leadership of Zaïre and Angola calling for peace:

[list]

French:

"Mes chers amis, en premier lieu, toutes mes condoléances à nos amis Zaïrois qui vivent une époque troublée suivant le meurtre horrible de leur Président. Cet acte barbare est inacceptable et nous souhaitons au pouvoir temporaire à la tête du Zaïre de tout faire en leur pouvoir pour régler la situation, dans la paix et le calme, et de restaurer l'ordre démocratique si cher aux Zaïrois et Zairoïses. à nos amis Angolais, nous comprenons l'urgence de la situation pour la sécurité de votre souveraineté, notamment en protégeant vos frontières des mouvements inévitables de population qui suivent les époques troublées. Je vous prie de garder les voies diplomatiques ouvertes et de coopérer à la continuation de la paix dans la région.

La Plata est disposée à vous apporter de l'aide de toute sorte pour régler vos différends et aider le Zaïre à traverser leur épreuve."

Portuguese:

"Meus caros amigos, antes de mais, as minhas condolências aos nossos amigos zairianos que vivem em tempos conturbados após o horrível assassinato do seu Presidente. Este acto bárbaro é inaceitável e desejamos que o poder temporário à cabeça do Zaire faça tudo o que estiver ao seu alcance para resolver a situação em paz e calma e para restaurar a ordem democrática tão cara aos zairenses. Aos nossos amigos angolanos, compreendemos a urgência da situação para a segurança da vossa soberania, especialmente protegendo as vossas fronteiras dos inevitáveis movimentos populacionais que se seguem aos tempos conturbados. Exorto-o a manter os canais diplomáticos abertos e a cooperar na continuação da paz na região.

La Plata está pronta a dar-lhe assistência de qualquer tipo para resolver as suas diferenças e para ajudar o Zaire a ultrapassar a sua provação."

English:

"My dear friends, first of all, my condolences to our Zairian friends who are living in troubled times following the horrible murder of their President. This barbaric act is unacceptable and we wish the temporary powers at the head of Zaire to do everything in their power to settle the situation, in peace and calm, and to restore the democratic order so dear to the Zairians. To our Angolan friends, we understand the urgency of the situation for the security of your sovereignty, especially in protecting your borders from the inevitable movements of population that follow troubled times. I urge you to keep diplomatic channels open and to cooperate in the continuation of peace in the region.

La Plata is ready to provide you with all kinds of assistance to settle your disputes and help Zaire through their ordeal."[/list]

The Ambassador to Luango also stated that La Plata will offer humanitarian aid for the situation in Zaire and that the nation is open for any requests from both countries in those troubled times.

The Angolan government thanks Ambassador Garreton and La Plata for their offer of support. Although they do not make any immediate requests for aid, they do ask that supplies and personnel(including medical & security staff) remain “on standby” for deployment in case a refugee crisis should develop.

There isnÂ’t going to be any refugee crisis.

WhatÂ’s happening in Zaire is that there are mobs attacking each other based on their party views in certain parts of cities, and in rural areas angry farmers, miners & labourers are attacking the police.

Zaire is big enough that most people can avoid the effects of the violence simply by being evacuated from their neighbourhoods or even district.

The embassy at Luanda releases an official statement declaring that La Plata is currently deploying support personnel in Zaire and that more help can be sent if the situation deteriorates, on either side of the border. The regional stability is an important goal to reach and keep and the Platino government is ready to help on a short notice if the need arises.

GENERAL MARTY DECLARES AN END TO THE MILITARYÂ’S TEMPORARY CONTROL OF ZAIRE & TRANSFERS POWER TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE LEAGUE

It was 11am in the morning, the broadcast came directly from the former Presidential Office and would interrupt all TV shows nationwide, as well as be on Youtube Live and a bunch of other platforms for Zaireans to watch.

General Marty tapped his microphone then spoke:

[list][sub]“We Zaireans ought to be ashamed of ourselves… very ASHAMED of ourselves.[/sub]

[sub]Former President BembaÂ’s death was a tragedy. Truly a tragedy. He didnÂ’t deserve to die. But neither did the THOUSANDS of Zaireans who DIED in recent months in street brawls all over the cities because of rivalries between ZNF supporters & TRP supporters.[/sub]

[list][list][sub]Bystanders who died in the crossfire of those rivalries didnÂ’t deserve to die either. And also the policemen in the countryside who were attacked and killed by angry farmers, miners & labourers.[/list][/sub]

[sub]So much BLOOD was shed in just a few months, over a political rivalry.[/sub]

[sub]And so I am forced to sayÂ… never, ever again. The ZNF & TRP will NOT be returning to Zaire in any political form. Consider that chapter of our history DEAD.[/sub]

[sub]Instead, there is an organisation that has been working arduously to keep the country united, in every city, town and province. [/sub]

[sub]The National Defense League.[/sub]

[sub]And so, just as Mobutu helped return power to a civilian government after stopping social unrest 20 years ago, I too shall do the same and give power to the National Defense League to decide what is best for this country.[/sub]

[sub]Based on our agreement, the NDL shall rule for 10 years before any multiparty elections can take place, and the creation of a new constitution shall be entirely in their hands[/sub].

[sub]The military CANNOT RULE any longer, so it is only right that the most suitable civilian faction for unity and progress, takes the reigns in our place.[/sub]

[sub]All Zaireans must stand TOGETHER now to pray & hope that the NDL can bring our country back together because if not, Zaire as we know it is in danger of disappearing and MILLIONS will die in the process…”[/sub][/list]

Spanish humanitarian aid departs for Somaliland aboard the Spanish Navy's flagship fleet

| Logistical nightmares and overall confusion continued to plague the Port of Ibiza in the Balearic Islands, where the Spanish Navy's flagship fleet lay in wait as the Spanish Overseas Legion struggled and stumbled in their attempt to get combat troops deployed to the Somaliland. The outrageous number of 12,500 troops slated for deployment just couldn't be transported to Jeddah, in the USAN, in one trip, so plans to transport the Legion in groups were made. However, this was easier said than done. In the end, the Spanish fleet continued waiting off the coast of Ibiza while the Legion was cut in number and eventually shut down completely after the USAN and the Gallan Empire achieved a fragile peace in the Horn of Africa. By this time, combat troops were no longer needed and, with urging from elements of the Spanish government and the general public, Prime Minister Augustina Torres announced on the 21st of July that no more combat troops will be deployed to the Horn of Africa to support USAN operations. |

| Now, the question was what do to with the Spanish fleet waiting off the coast of Ibiza. Conservatives and the Finance Ministry suggested just dispersing the fleet and returning them to their peacetime postures and positions, but radicals who were interested in creating a good relationship with the Arabs and in particular USAN suggested that humanitarian aid be sent aboard the fleet to Somaliland, along with humanitarian aid personnel and possibly some doctors and nurses. This proposal was more popular among the government, in particular the Foreign Ministry, and the general populace, who were more interested in sending aid to Somaliland rather than soldiers and weapons of war and destruction. Immediately after it was proposed, the Prime Minister and her Cabinet called what would become the shortest meeting in the history of Prime Minister Torres's 2024-2028 Cabinet to date. |

PALACIO DE MONCLOA, OUTSKIRTS OF MADRID, New Provenance — AFTERNOON | 3:27 PM CEST

[list]CONFERENCE ROOM A1, GROUND FLOOR[/list]

[list]| Augustina Torres, Prime Minister | ". . . Good afternoon, good afternoon. This meeting of the Cabinet of the Prime Minister is hereby convened. The topic at hand is the deployment of humanitarian aid to Somaliland, currently the 7th member state of the Union State of Arab Nations, or the USAN. I'm sure you all know that the deployment of humanitarian aid by Spain is, in my personal opinion, our best option considering its popularity among the general public. Your thoughts?"[/list]

| The MEMBERS OF THE CABINET look at each other, obviously united in response, and all nodded their agreement. |

[list]| Augustina Torres, Prime Minister | "All unanimous, then. Any comments, anything?"[/list]

[list]| Ione Belarra, Minister of the Interior | "Madam Prime Minister, with the acceptance of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Defense-"[/list]

| MS. BELARRA gestured to the MINISTER OF FINANCE, NADIA CALVINO, and to the MINISTER OF DEFENSE, ANDREA SOLER, before continuing. Both the Finance and Defense Minister were seated next to MS. BELARRA. |

[list]| Ione Belarra, Minister of the Interior | "-we believe that this humanitarian aid for Somaliland be delivered aboard the Spanish Navy fleet off the coast of Ibiza. The fleet is already prepared to be deployed to Somaliland, and all we would need to do is gather supplies. I'm sure we can also provide immediate aid through air transport, of course."[/list]

[list]| Augustina Torres, Prime Minister | "So be it. All are dismissed. Have a good day."[/list]

| With the approval of the Prime Minister, the Kingdom of Spain will be dispatching approximately sixty tons of humanitarian and medical aid to Somaliland, along with 800 humanitarian aid personnel, volunteers, doctors, and nurses to tend to the wounded and ensure the health of the people of Somaliland remain intact and healthy. The Prime Minister has announced plans to push a $100 million USD donation through the Spanish Cortes for approval in order to 'get Somaliland back on their feet again' as quick as possible. The Spanish Prime Minister has also expressed interest in possibly reaching an agreement with the USAN to invest into Somaliland and other undeveloped areas with potential to grow into profitable and prosperous regions. |

| The initial sixty tons of humanitarian and medical aid will be transported to Somaliland aboard the Spanish Navy's flagship, the amphibious assault ship and aircraft carrier Juan Carlos I, and her accompanying fleet of frigates. An immediate emergency package of humanitarian aid, at around five to six tons worth of supplies, will be transported to Somaliland via aircraft in order to assist the hardest-hit civilians on the ground as soon as possible. Over the next six months, from July 2025 to January 2026, Spain has agreed to provide humanitarian aid and medical supplies to Somaliland to further hasten the region's recovery from the Somaliland Crisis, which has thankfully ended. The Kingdom of Spain wishes the very best for the people of Somaliland, and hopes that peace - fragile it may be - will reign over the Horn of Africa and between the Gallans and the USAN for the foreseeable future. |

WHATÂ’S NEW IN ZAIRE:

Antonius Bedé becomes Chancellor Founds The Zairean Commonwealth

[list][sub]After several months of chaos in Zaire’s cities and countryside towns, political rivalry brawls were starting to die down across the majority of the country. Despite hospitals being overwhelmed with the injured, support from La Platan Nevbrejnovitz doctors and medics, as well as French Metropolitan Francais supplies which went to hospitals in rural parts of the country, helped avert a healthcare crisis. General Marty who had taken power after dissolving the government which collapsed due to the assassination of former President Bemba, also recently that the military would be handing power to a civilian government. This new government would be headed & created by the National Defense League (NDL) and its leader… Antonius Bedé.[/sub][/list]

The NDL had played a major role in stopping violence across the country & taking advantage of the political vacuum created by the dissolution of the former two biggest parties in the country, the TRP & the ZNF. Their popularity was also on a huge rise due to their views becoming increasingly popular and spread to millions of Zaireans through online platforms.

This got General Marty’s attention and so now the military which had worked tirelessly to stop the country from fracturing any further trusted Bedé to keep the country united for the next 10 years before elections would be held.

Tasked with creating a constitution, a new political system and a new vision for Zaire, Bedé’s first order of action was to divide the country into 11 states. Each state having its own State Council. The State Councils would work to ensure their state functioned well & would address the issues specific to their region. For Bedé this was essential, he saw Zaire as too large and diverse to be run by a distant central government in the capital.

All of these states would function under the umbrella of the newly founded, Zairean Commonwealth. A nation which Bedé declared on national TV in front of millions, “was a Nation chosen by God”. In doing so he was quoting the ideas of the Simonist Church, the fastest growing sect of Christianity that preached that Zaireans were blessed by God directly due to a promise Jesus made to a Biblical figure who they claim was in fact Zairean.

And so, Zaire’s new chapter began with Bedé and the NDL, marking a shift in Zaire’s history and highlighting some key changes in the Zairean mentality:

[list]• Many Zaireans upon seeing such a rapid breakdown of law & order and being traumatised by so much violence, have become conservative and religious. The fragile secularism that came as a result of the Mobutu years in the 90s was over.

• Many Zaireans blame greed as a key factor for why their nation almost fell apart, something which had grown in Zaireans since the 90s when the economic boom exponentially increased the average Zaireans’ spending power.

• With Zaireans now despising greed and individualism, values such as harmony and sacrifice would become increasingly important to Zairean society.

• Upon seeing how quickly the world they knew almost collapsed entirely, many Zaireans are now skeptical of the world outside Zaire.

In his official inauguration after announcing the new Constitution of the country & its new political system, Bedé ordered a moment of silence to commemorate the thousands that died in political violence over the past few months and the many more injured. After this, a Zairean Orchestra played a sad instrumental to mourn the loss. Finally, Bedé recited a poem he’d written himself:

[list]"Let us never forget, the death we met.

Let us never mourn again our sons lost in vain.

Let us never forget the pain, that which drove us insane.

Let us never ever again have to repeatÂ… the historic feat, of holding the pieces of a fractured giant together~"[/list]

Following this 100,000 blue balloons were let off into the skyÂ…

New hydropower dams planned on Dande, Kwango Rivers

The Angolan government is pushing full steam ahead with its plans to expand hydroelectric generating capacity across the country, announcing new planned dams on the Dande and Kwango rivers. Possessing one of the highest hydropower potentials in Africa, Angola has long sought to harness its many rivers. The government previously sought to increase hydroelectric generation to 9000 MW by 2025, although it fell somewhat short of this goal, with current capacity sitting at 8200 MW. Nevertheless, it did experience success in opening the Lauca Dam in 2020 and the Caculo Cabaça Dam in 2024, with both plants generating in excess of 2000 MW.

The first station, located on the Dande river about 10km east of Lumege, will be a run-of-the-river dam with an installed capacity of 250 MW. The second station, about 5 km northwest of Muginga on the Kwango river, will feature a much larger dam and have an installed capacity of 1800 MW. This has caused some controversy with environmentalists, who have pointed out that the chosen site for the dam will partially flood a section of the Milando Nature Reserve. The government, however, has dismissed these concerns, stating that the affected area will be small. Once funding has been secured, the Dande River station is expected to be completed by 2028, and the Kwango River station by early 2030.

MINISTRY OF THE OVERSEAS: A PLAN TO SAVE THE POLYNESIAN ISLANDS

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF L'EMPIRE, MINISTÈRE DES OUTRE-MER - | As global temperatures continue to rise and the sea level follows, several islands in the Pacific Ocean are at increased risk of becoming completely submerged and the people who inhabit them left homeless. This is partially true for a number of atolls in the French Polynesian island chains. While most residents live on the Society Islands there are still a considerable amount of indigenous people whom live on the atolls such as Rangiroa with a population of 2,700, Arutua with 800 residents, Apataki with 500, and Kaukura with 600 people. In fact there are over 8,000 people at the mercy of rising waters and at risk of losing their homes. The French government has taken note of China's (Peking Zhongguo) island building scheme in the South China Sea and is willing to implement an island building or "Island Reclamation Project" in French Polynesia to retain the atolls and create new islands in order to ensure that those 8,000+ residents remain out of harms way. A fleet of dredgers have already been deployed to areas close by to begin relocating sand from the seabed. President Macron has approved a budget of €2.7 billion euros for the project which is expected to take up to 5 years in total to complete. | [/sub]

Capital Ventures In Sudan

After successful talks with the government of Sudan (Nileia), cooperation between the two countries have begun. A new economic treaty has been established which will pour new jobs and investment into Sudan, while expand Vietnam's growing and diversifying export partner list. With the Sudanese government eager to re-enter the oil market at a higher step, Vietnam has authorized two new refinery plants from Petrovietnam, the nation's largest oil and gas corporation. This deal will employ thousands of Sudanese citizens, and help turn the nation's oil into a decent quality fuel, competitive in the current market. This plan also includes injections of Vietnamese investments into modernizing and expanding the logistics necessary for oil and gas distribution. Petrovietnam was happy to abide by Sudan's regulations regarding waste protocols including clean waste management, and the promise of not polluting residential areas.

Furthermore, Vietnam's largest telecommunications and electronic manufacturing company, is also opening plants to construct electronics, mainly phones and televisions, and will be offering wireless coverage and towers if desired by the Sudanese government. From this development, there are rumors that M1 Communication may actually be developing their own line of mobile phones after decades of experience building them, servicing them, distributing them, and bug fixing.

The Vietnamese government is hoping that this agreement will be a 'foot in the door approach' to getting access to the African market, and making Vietnam's products and companies well known worldwide. The nation still promotes its "trade with all" policy and is already making preparations to conduct further trade deals in the future.

______________

Spain seeks closer and more fruitful relationships with the USAN, Iran, AUFC, and Japan

| The Torres administration (2024-) has been more focused on internal affairs and primarily the economy and military rather than foreign affairs compared to previous Spanish government administrations. The only major high-level political state visit conducted by the current administration was when Philanialle Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga visited Madrid to discuss the possibility of expanding bilateral trade and diplomatic relations between the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Spain. This apparent focus on internal rather than foreign affairs has seemingly changed after Spain received substantial backlash for her intervention into the Somaliland Crisis between the Gallan Empire and the USAN. |

| At a press conference at the Moncloa Palace, the official residence of the Prime Minister of Spain, Prime Minister Augustina Torres announced that Spain will be seeking closer and more fruitful relationships with the USAN, the Republic of Iran, the Arab Union of the Fertile Crescent, and surprisingly enough, the Empire of Japan. Prime Minister Torres stated that these nations are 'great potential Spanish trade and diplomatic partners', and has expressed confidence that new, established partnerships with the USAN, Iran, the AUFC, and Japan will 'surely benefit both sides and ensure the continued economic growth of the Spanish nation and Kingdom'. |

| According to the Prime Minister's - and later the Foreign Minister's - statements, the Spanish government will be engaging in diplomatic talks with Middle Eastern countries like the AUFC, USAN, and Iran first before making agreements with the Empire of Japan. The reason for this, according to Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs Arancha Gonzalez Laya, is because Spain and Japan 'already have an established relationship, but the same cannot be said yet for Spain and the Arab nations'. Considering Spain's support for the USAN's operations in Somaliland and Somaliland's entry into the USAN, it is expected that the Arab oil giant will become among Spain's top trading and diplomatic partners in the Middle Eastern region. The AUFC and Iran are also among potential Spanish partners, says political analysts, but developing relationships with these nations - Iran in particular - could prove tough considering Iran's unstable political system. |

| At the end of the Spanish Prime Minister's press conference, she formally invited the Grand Emir of Alzarikstan to a bilateral meeting in Madrid, where she plans to discuss the future of Spain-USAN diplomatic and economic relations with the USAN's head of state. The Prime Minister is also expected to hold meetings with the heads of state of the AUFC, Iran, and potentially Japan as well, in the near future. |

[sub]| The forest night was pitch black only the illumination of personal flashlights could be seen illuminating the path in the Guatemalan forest near the Mexican border. 10 armed members of the EZLN were present to watch over the group of promising recruits for the resistance against the Centroamerican regime in place numbering around 120. The goal of this was to pick up the recruits and sneak them into Chiapas to begin guerrilla training for the men numbering 100 and 20 women. The Zapatista’s have shown strong sympathy and even a alliance with the resistance to the Centroamerican regime which gave them and the Mexican government a common “enemy” in recent peace talks with the government secretly permitting the trafficking of Centroamericanos into Chiapas for guerrilla training. These 10 EZLN militants would be fairly heavily armed in order to break through any border protections in place. They would be dressed in military fatigues and black balaclavas armed with AKMs and M249s to suppress and rush past any Centroamerican border patrols, 3 would be equipped with rudimentary nightvision. The group would lead the 120 with the “civilians” corralled like a sheep pack and the EZLN surrounding them like herding dogs. |[/sub]

A hail of inaccurate automatic fire would be unloaded upon the border patrol with both groups in a surprise of running into each other so quickly. Soon both sides would engage and fire shots off into anything that moves in the dense foliage.

Polish Happenings

2025

Warszawa

Mateusz Morawiecki had summoned his Energy Minister to discuss further diversification plans. Krzysztof Kubów suggested harnessing wind on the Baltic Sea and further engage in the construction of Polands first Nuclear energy plant. Kubów suggested awarding a private organisation to help build the plant but award the ownership of the plant to a subsidiary of PGE. Kubów called up the head of PGE, Henrik Baranowski to let him into this plan. Baranowski informed the two on the plans to establish the wind and nuclear subsidiaries. Nuclear being called Polska Kontrola Jądrowa, PKJ; and wind being called Polska Kontrola Wiatru, PKW. All further state owned energy projects would be given their own subsidiary and placed under the umbrella of PGE. PKJ would ask for assistance from France to establish a plant. Morawiecki then turned his attention to his northern neighbour asking if they needed any assistance with reconstruction after the many months of insurgency in the north. While the government was going about it's business, Janusz Korwin, began to form a plan of action to return Poland to supremacy via local actions including intimidations of non ethnic poles residing in the nation, also communists would be looped into his grand plan to make Poland 100% for the Poles.

SURVEY SHOWS SOME APATHY AMIDST LEGISLATIVE INFIGHTING

[list][sup]A TWO-SIDED FINLAND

FINLAND—SUMMER 2025[/sup][/list]

Political analysts in Finland marveled at the release of several polls in the late summer of 2025 indicating that a significant part of the Finnish populace, in spite of the intensifying conflict between left and right in the Finnish government, have claimed to be entirely unmoved by political happenings. Though the rates of political participation have increased, reflected in the recent surges in rallies and marches, particularly on the right wing, up to half of Finns say that their lives are completely or nearly unchanged by the escalation in legislative infighting in recent months. In truth, life was largely untouched—life carried on as normal in the happiest nation on Earth. Political unrest was minimal, and violence was nonexistent. Though friction between the parties and the rhetoric of the Finns Party had mounted, political dialogue has yet been unfailingly peaceful. In the words of President Kai Mykkänen, Finland was now "enduring the crucible of debate that shapes successful systems of democracy".

Mykkänen's outward confidence, though, was contrasted by apparent inward insecurity about the position of the National Coalition Party—though in a coalition with the Finns Party—was doubtlessly threatened by its encroaching influence. Though, as dictated by custom, Mykkänen renounced his ties to the party on becoming President, his day-to-day actions still clearly showed him as a party man. An "anti-reactionary" speaking tour throughout the countryside, where Finns Party support was increasing at its highest rate, has been organized for Mykkänen in the autumn; speaking events are to fill the gaps in the presidential schedule. Campaigning for the National Coalition has spiked in response to the oddly-timed Finns Party rallies spreading throughout the country.

Millions of Zaireans were watching the proceedings live from pubs, restaurants & tuning on social media lives. MacronÂ’s speech filled them hope after the rough months the country had gone through recently. Zaire was in a huge transitional period and with a new political system & government, many didnÂ’t know where the country was headed and hoped for the bestÂ

[list]Macron was driven down 30 June Boulevard to the Palace of the Nation. On the way heÂ’d see the truly majestic site of the countryÂ’s capital. Modern high-rises filled the skies, huge stadiums could be seen everywhere & the roads were clean and orderly, with tramways and motorways making travel expedient in the largest metropolitan area in Africa. In the Ancien Quartier (Old neighbourhoods) the Belgian influence could be with Greco-Roman architecture sprawled across the modern city.[/list]

Macron would shake hands with prominent Zairean officials from the NDL party in the new government, before being led to Chancellor Bedé’s office.

I seem to have lost track haha! But yes indeed. I have taken France from being a colonial overlord to being more of the mutual investment and growth partner for many developing and rising nations. Throughout my tenure France has invested upwards of 60-70 billion euros into the African continent alone, mostly through Egypt, Sudan (Nileia), Galla (Mesuvia), and Madagascar. I hope to broaden France's partners in Africa over time starting with Zaire."[/sub]

TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY: CONCORDE TAKES FLIGHT WITH BIOFUEL

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF MOBILITY, MINISTÈRE DES TRANSPORTS - | Concorde has long been known for its gas guzzling and fuel emissions literally being sky-high when compared to other conventional aircraft. With the recent rise in the use of biofuels, Concorde has been given a second chance. The Ministry of Transportation is very pleased to announce after several testings, that an Air France Concorde passenger jet successfully flew from Paris to New York City on Tuesday, powered by a newly formulated biofuel. Air France flight 480 took off from Charles de Gaulle airport with a 21% mix of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its fuel tanks, produced in France by TotalEnergies SE from used cooking oil. Since last year, flights departing from France have been required to use at least 12% SAF, ahead of European Union goals to reach 8% by 2025 and 18% by 2030 under the bloc's Green Deal policy. This makes Concorde's flight a feat in itself and has renewed hopes in the aircraft with supersonic flight being limited over the years. Air France hopes to expand its fleet of Concorde's as supersonic flight becomes more affordable and more eco-friendly. | [/sub]
