Meeting in Pretoria, ERP closed and classified to Californian and I Options

[maicke]

"The Republic makes a good point, and we would not like to see death and destruction on the continent. With your permission, we will have the president E-sign the treaty."

OOC: its been almost a year in RP since the war, so relations might be improving by now...

OOC: Holy crap, really?
Dang, time flies fast here. 15 in-game days a day really makes things quick.

EDIT: IC: I have one more question. What would become of the regions of Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi?

Nassar sipped some water before continuing, "The Republic raises some valid points.

Britain indeed possesses nuclear weapons and they definitely seem crazy enough to use them. We do not want our allies decimated and would do everything in our power to prevent that. We can build fallout shelters and help distribute gas masks and iodine pills amongst your populations if you require. We can also play around with the possibility of a missile defense system for your nations that would have a high probability of shooting a ICBM down. Another factor to your advantage, you are at an inconvenient location for the British and they would much rather turn us into a parking lot, sadly.

As for your continued strained relations, I cannot help but say I am dissapointed to see African nations continuing to bicker like this. I know your past is unpleasant, but we must move on and ensure stability and prosperity in this new dawn.

We are willing to allow you both into the African Union if you sign the document. As an additional sign of good faith, we are willing to cede the majority of Madagascar to your nation. You are geographically closer and could better rule it, methinks.



South Africa would also get a small portion and we would retain the southern and northern tips, mainly for defense and military purposes."

[thenb]

"Recently and much to our joy, relations between us have been steadily improving. As for the Rwanda/Uganda/Brundi, we recommend that we set them aside as African Union protectorates, so that native governments may form. We also beleive your idea on Madagascar is most excellent."

"Yes, relations have certainly been improving. (OOC: Lol, I thought that it had only been like five months, I see now it has been a long time XD)
We do have a suggestion for the treaty, however. I am sure that we all have noticed many foreign nations claiming that the Kuwaiti Emirate has no right to maintain African land. I suggest that there be a line in the treaty that reads something along the lines of "All signatories of this treaty are hereby defined as 'African'." I know that this would only help the Emirate, but it may also help avoid future conflict with countries who are severely against 'imperialism'. I also know that it may make the Emirate seem not to be Middle-Eastern/Asian. It is completely up to the other signatories if such a line is added."

[thenb]

"The Confederacy would agree to that."

[Californian]

"We have added 'African' to Article VIII. However we would like to note that regardless of what any treaty or naysayer may say, we firmly believe we are African, Middle Eastern, and Asian. We thank you for the suggestion though. In addition, Rwada, Uganda, and Burundi should be protected by the African Union.

When you have signed and ratified the AU treaty the Madagascar land will be officially handed over."

"Thank you. The treaty is expected to be ratified by senate shortly. For now, the President provides his signature."

Signed,
Jobuk Wade
President of the Republic of Mozambique

OOC: It will be ratified no matter what, by the way, so you can just say that I'm part of the treaty.

Signed,
President Lashir Rakshana
The Mozambique Confederacy

"South Africa currently has the capacity for creating missile defenses and would help out in their construction as we begin installing them here. I would like to add however that we would consider making Zaire and perhaps even Angola into African Union Joint Administration Zones as Burundi, Uganda, and Rwanda are."

[thenb]

"That would be most agreeable."

[Californian]

"We of course would help protect them and ensure their independence."

[Cody Seb]

"After further deliberation with my colleagues, we have come to the conclusion that we are willing to put Zaire up for joint administration by the AU. However, we would like exclusive rights to conscript from Zaire, as conscripts and volunteers from Zaire account for a very large chunk of our forces."
