High Emperor Aggron

First Multi-Party Voting to be held in Novemeber 20th. The fête nationale, losing support quickly due to stress from an international community, and moreso from the very people who once rallied behind them, issued their death sentence earlier today. On November 20th, any candidates from anywhere in the country, if born Congolese may run for the Presidency, for the National Assembly, for the Supreme Court, and for any local government positions. Lionel Bata was hosting a discussion between multiple ethnic groups when we was quoted to break down in tears at hearing this. Comforted by his family around his he again strained his resolve to run for government and to right the wrongs that were written into law by the fête nationale. He put in his bid for National Assembly, and began campaigning the same day, notably going to the first 30% of Congolese who are known for not turning out and voting, praying they'd vote even if not for him but regardless to vote. This would be the start of freedom in the République, and the world would then see how a family united and defeated their demons.

Refugees from Rhodesia Mboti Sese RDC Editorial With the war in Rhodesia now reaching a high point, refugees streamed into the République démocratique du Congo, earlier this day, by the thousands. Kabila after meeting with Bata, stated he would not send these people away. He instead issued work visas to each able bodied man and woman, the children would be given schooling and housing would be arranged as soon as possible, a task that clearly began that very hour as the Luis&Son Construction company amongst 13 others, began making entire town districts outside Pweto, Katuba and Kolwezi. Each would unofficially be named Rhodesian town names, to give some semblance of home to the displaced peoples. A cable to the Grand Republic of Kharak for aid in building these housing districts would be sent, the majority of it stating only the need for Cranes and contractors.

A National Assembly to Form? Mboti Sese RDC editorial After the soaring protests in Kinshasa led by civil rights activist Lionel Bata, the fête nationale was pressured into now allowing a national assembly of any ethnicity of man to represent the peoples' of the uncivilized RDC. Although to the common man this seems like headway into unification, this was simply another ruse to attempt appeasement. Surely the FDRC, when armed and trained would be assisting in ousting the pro-apartheid fête nationale, and helping to institute a true democratic-republic in the République démocratique du Congo. The formation of the National Assembly would be drawn two representatives from each ethnic group numbering over .5% measured off census on a three year basis. The Assemblymen would be granted four year terms and be granted legislative powers to the uncivilized RDC as described by the fête nationale.

"I believe my brothers are all men under one God." - Lionel Bata When the Civil rights movement in the République Démocratique Du Congo started the white rulers of the République were outraged. Blacks, coloureds and Indians from all around the countryside marched in Kinshasa, sat in white only restaurants, and boycotted pro-apartheid companies. Leading the protests from the front was the man for which all the country wept, following the assassination attempt. There stood Lionel Bata, undefeated and standing for his people. Not blacks, not whites, not coloureds nor Indians. He stood and protested for man, for segregation bars one mans body but jails another mans soul. The African sun did not offer any respite as it bore down on the protesters in the street that stretched miles back. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he tapped the microphone twice before speaking into it, the words carried back to all the ears far away, filling them with his honest intent. The fête nationale guards were standing around the stage barring him from entry, but his near death experience did not mean to let him stop because he couldn't step onto a stage. He smiled kindly and walked around to the front of the stage jumping onto it and shooting a sly grin at the guards as he spoke to the crowds. " I am Lionel Bata.." What do I say.. "Apartheid is a dying monster in a world where day is breaking and man will stand as one people." The wind picked up and leaves rustled past his eyes. Ha.. They have a beauty about them.. He thought for a second, before regaining his thoughts and speaking. "A regime.. is dying.. people.. the people, both white and black and coloured and indian are going to be one. To be separated, and demeaned based on color, or status, or how much money you make, or what language you speak is wrong.. and I.. I'm going to change that." "I will protest in the city Kinshasa, and I will protest in the streets, and on the plains, and on the river banks. I will protest for what is right, what is good and what is true, I will protest. When this regime dies I will fight, I will bring freedom to our family. I will destroy the townships for their bad memory, and I will build a new house for every man woman and child in my family. I will build a school in every town and village so that our children do not need worry about straying from the path. I will rid our country of the rebel movements, and I will build Universities that will be for any man or woman that wishes to learn. I will make our family whole, this I promise you on my scarred heart." The crowd roared at this shouting out 'family' in their native languages, together the chourus rose above the winds and stood high on its power. There exists in man an undying urge to be justified, and in his heart Lionel became justified when he heard them saying it. He took a step from the podium and smiled, blinking into the sun's serene warmth. As his heart brought his eyes down, he saw his family. Not one of blood, but one of millions of men and women joined in unity, and it was a beautiful sight indeed. They sang, and they cheered him, and they praised him. A man they could rally behind. A brother they could call leader. A friend of honest judgement, a bright young boy who devoted his life from then on to uniting the world as the family it should be. Such was the character of a man. "All my family knows me, and I them."- Lionel Bata

"The fighting in Rhodesia represents a destabilization of the African continent. The security of one region being threatened is a threat to the security of all. The Amazon Republic requests an immediate emergency vote of the General Assembly for a binding resolution, to be affirmed by the Security Council of course, which calls for the blockading of Rhodesia to prevent the importing of weapons and munitions to help contain the fighting. Further, should the violence escalate the resolution would give the United Nations the sanction to deploy peacekeepers and inspections teams until the violence has been halted and the area pacified. The Amazon Republic, in advance, will commit a Ranger Brigade, Combat Air Group, and a Logistical Support and Services Brigade to this effort should it be authorized." ooc- this is not a call for the invasion of Rhodesia, but for the blocking of arms and munitions first and then sending in peacekeepers if the fighting doesn't stop second. The République although looking to be impartial, despite the proximity of the conflict questions the Amazon Republic's judgement in asking to send such vast military forces against a nation in turmoil. Your decision does lead to questioning the soundness of your leadershipp. We also would like to say, the République is fully in support of Rhodesian armed forces to quell this.

Apartheid to be Abolished? Civil rights movements ensue Mboti Sese RDC Editorial President Kabila openly said on a Television channel 1 that he'd not rest until the walls were torn down, when segregation was no more, until his white brothers and black sisters, became the family that the République démocratique du Congo was meant to be. This was obviously taken badly by the fête nationale, who made a statement saying this. "Apartheid will not die in République démocratique du Congo, it is what makes us prosperous." With the outcry of many civil rights activists parading in Kinshasa in even the white only sectors. It was a matter of time before things changed, or people were hurt. Kabila said later when prompted about the Civil rights movement, "I am in firm belief that one day we will be a family. It is our motto, my friend." From the protestors came this bill of civil rights to be instituted, the bill would be brought before the fête nationale, the sole rulers of the RDC at the time. It would be cast down multiple times before the civil rights activists' as the fête nationale gripped hard onto power.

"It is a sad day in the world, when apartheid exists."-Lionel Bata White, Black, Coloured, Indian. Our people are living under a dying apartheid regime. Although a minority, the whites of the République had quickly gained power following the independence from their colonial powers, the effects of their rule still present, even though waning. The people had been moved away from Kinshasa and away from the ocean into inferior townships located in the obscurity known as the cradle of humanity, or the Congo Rainforest. Growing up on dirt floors and reeded beds, Lionel Bata was a child under Apartheid. Before leaving his home in Buloyu, he needed to show his card and be tagged by the police fédérale. If he didn't reach his destination in the alotted time, he'd be arrested. President Kabila, although leader of the RDC, was a puppet of the fête nationale, who aimed to appease their lessers by putting false power in a 'Black.' Growing up Lionel was privileged to attend school, he would have to walk three hours in the hot African sun, through a rival ethnic group' territory, to reach the boat which would carry him to the school. A school which had been segregated, the blacks, coloured, and indian taughtin the back, while the white children would be taught in the air conditioned schoolhouse. Regardless of his predicament Lionel Bata went to school every day for sixteen years. Graduating top of his class.. and top of the white class as well. When his success turned to fruit Lionel Bata was offered a scholarship to University, where he studied Political science and majored in law. Captain of the debate team and first student in the RDC, Lionel was on his way to change the world. His dreams would be cut short, when the Fête nationale would hire a hitman to kill him. In the middle of live debate on Television Channel 1, Lionel was shot by Christian DuBois. Sparking national outrage. With no official reports from Hôpital Kinshasa on Lionel Bata, the entire country is in wait on this prodigial student. In a dirty hospital room, he laid alone, the dull ache of a removed bullet throbbing in his chest. A centimetre left and he'd be dead the doctor said. This was a work of God the doctor said. You're walking with Angels the doctor said. But when the doctor had left, and it was just him in the hospital bed, with shoddy rays of light christening the medical instruments, Lionel had confirmed himself. This near death experience wouldn't go to waste, if racism were to this point in the République where a black man can be beaten for not stepping off a sidewalk for the white. Where a coloured boy could be hung for no reason but being coloured, where a indian mother can be raped and then arrested for prostitution. Something had to change, and it'd start with him. Weeks passed as his infirm body laid in the bed. Coughing in the 3rd world air he pondered, What will I do when I'm outside of these walls. Who will I become. As months then did pass, Lionel stood. With lumbering steps he did walk out of hôpital Kinshasa. The sun peeling through his eyelids and burning his eyes. The warmth on his skin was unknowable and yet he'd known this warmth. The first step was hard, his legs unsure and unsteady, with a planting foot he settled it on the cement sidewalk. The second came as the first, as did the third. A glow spread through his chest, like a returned lion to his pride. As he looked out to city, before him stood one hundred people. Men who believed in him, children who'd heard of him, brothers he'd schooled with, and even a white woman, Eve, from University. Words and emotions flooded his mind, as he searched for the right ones. He leaned onto his cane as he spoke outloud in front of the crowd, in front of Television channel 1 and in front of the République. "I.. I will abolish the fête nationale, their laws, and their crimes against Humanity. God Bless our country, and may the angels ever walk in our favour. For I now know.. that it is not colour which defines the value of a man. It is their moral code, how they treat their brothers. It is their devotion to what is right, and I will show the world my devotion."

Awaiting Athens. Mboti Sese RDC editorial (Distributed throughout the République free of charge.) While the République awaits Athens to confirm the validity measures are taken to prepare the territory for Independence. The Force de défense République démocratique du Congo, totaling 3,000 honorable men would be sent to Kinshasa Grounds. President Kabila made a quote following the formation of the FDRC. "You see I trust these men. They are honorable, they are leaders in their communities and they believe in a better tomorrow for the République." When asked further about the FDRC Kabila said. "I would trust my life to these men. They will do a good job, my friend. Trust them as I do and you will sleep easily." With the FDRC beginning its first training exercises in Kinshasa Grounds, a boot camp for national police reformed for the FDRC, I say it is a matter of time, my friends. A matter of time before we can unite this family of Congolese and better our tomorrow as President Kabila does tell. Pray for The République, my brothers.

Silence across République démocratique du Congo. Mboti Sese RDC editorial. As the people of the RDC wait in anticipation of Exarchate approval, the eagerness is building. Kabila, the recognized head of state, waits in front of a crowd of half a million people right outside Kinshasa. On a stage surrounded by bullet proof glass, the runner from Kinshasa awaits news from Cape Town which will either universally recognise these Congolese, or lead them back to squalor. A hopeful people, a gathering of over 237 of the recognized 250 ethnic groups does stand in unbroken peace to see the fate of this African Family. (quotes Kabila) "We are grateful to be given this chance.. This chance to recognize our peoples' for what we are, A family. Regardless of the outcome we know this day will become a Holiday in our culture." With Kabila outspoken and reiterating his belief that his people will be united, preparations for such an occasion are readied. Half a million people, with six milliob more tuning into Television Channel 1, the people are ready. Their cheer building, "Unite this Family."

The DRC, Cent can confirm. Please have it named though as République démocratique du Congo.

République démocratique du Congo Nous sommes l'un à l'intérieur. Nous sommes une famille. The République démocratique du Congo under the Exarch of Africa hereby petitions her to recognize our people and reform our country and our people. Under our President Joseph Kabila, we are asking to unite our splintered people, and bring stability back to the Congo. Upon the Exarchate approval the Congrès de la République démocratique du Congo, which is currently the civilized peoples and tribal leaders of the land, will begin the drafting of a constitution and a bill of rights. We then have many aspirations to bettering the people and our world as a whole. Again we implore the Exarch to recognize the République démocratique du Congo as a sovereign state in this world, and for her blessing for whatever hard times we may endure. For we shall do the same.

Confirmed :)

Bolivia would like to formally on the world stage announce its intent to be joined into Paraguay. General Cassio and Prime Minister Robles have stepped down as Paraguayan delegates process the takeover of Bolivia. All nuclear weaponry is asked to be taken over by Athens and Tianxia.

"Moving soldiers across a militarized border is no hard thing to see. I'll show you out Madam." The tram which lead them in would then carry them higher back to the surface, the air warming as they reached the blast doors. With final salutations the Paraguayan party would be sent on its way. The Bolivian soldiers would watch them as they went while Cassio and Prime Minister Robles sat at a wooden table frowning. "I suppose this should be the end?" Chuckling Robles looked back at the General, "Yeah it is."

"Miss Navar.. Do not threaten my country, Do not threaten to come into my country and Do not threaten to come into my country with soldiers nonetheless. We were attacked unlawfully that is a given. Know I value our friendship but I do not value it so much that I would stand Idly by as you invade our country. In fact we already know of you moving soldiers into the U.R.B. and I'm asking you politely, remove them.

To the first point, you'd never see the entrances. I have rp'd it underground you didn't read. I can put radar underground, and put nodes above. I know how a radar works. To the emp bursts okay. I didn't know that. To the raptors yes I did, when I started my NFZ in my main thread I stated I had launched them. I didn't say more stealthy, I said they'd attempt stealth or the likes, I also got them from Paraguay. I know I don't have them with 300 tech. To this in particular, nowhere in the rules does it say I need a fallout shelter. Also for the fifth time it's called the 'subway' its not a subway with trains and whatnot. I continually rp'd it, but because you feel like being ignorant won't read my thread doesn't mean it wasn't rp'd prior. I've never been talking about an actual subway. I can move things because there are tunnels, not single man tunnels but larger, much larger Show me where it is well established about needing a fallout shelter and I'll retcon it. But until then, its neither cratered nor is it needing the FOS. Can you make a post without being a condescending dick to people? That was a "real" post, just because I don't know as much about military technology as you, does not give you the right to be an ass about it.

Tianxia has yet to hit a single nuclear site. We are not rogue, and simply wish to be left to ourselves which we have always done. At no point prior to this unlawful attack which has only been killing civillians had we ever made mention of firing our nuclear weaponry. It was when we were attacked that we threatened, which is in our right to do so. We'll say again leave the Galapogos and stop your attack. Tianxia doesnt care for world order. If it did itd value the disposal of such weapons over our territory. But an expansionist state, which would better be called a terrorist organization does not have any moral code to live by. Clearly shown by their reply with OUR demand.

"None have been established as of yet. However we're quite open to you helping with such an ordeal." Prime Minister Robles sat down in one of the offices after shooing out the scientists and invited them in, pouring cups of café he handed them round. He took a long drink before looking up at VP Paraguay Navar and spoke "Care to help?"

"Ready to lauch? Chico Alto, hes 25MT's but we need to fix a problem with the reserve generators in Fac12 before itd work as intended. We have 200MT's though that is in varied degrees of production, all is intended to be put in holding cells further down though."
