Botha Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 What? We cant remember him when hes alive? Oh sorry, our mistake then - by the tone of your earlier message it sounded like he had already died. The prime minister would like the government to pass along his much-appreciated thanks of well-wishes from the international community at large. He promises that once his health is back to a level which he can resume his duties of office, he shall deal firmly yet fairly with this terrorist threat which has striken our nation and return Transvaal to its previous level of peace and prosperity.

May I ask, did any of the assailants ever say who they were working for? As we have had an attack from a terror group a few days ago, and we are currently setting up an investigation.

King Kevz Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 "Estovakia does and only will ever recognise Staatspresident Botha as the leader of all of Transvaal and we wish him and his government the best of luck in dealing with these rebellious persons who have sprung up. If Staatspresident Botha requires any assistance please don't be afraid to ask." Public message sent from Empress Kusanagi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynneth Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 While Saboria will stay largely neutral in this issue, we will not recognise the Azarian government as sovereign or anything other than rebellious, until the Transvaal government recognises them as sovereign. Which is not too likely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasili Markov Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Neo Olympia notes the rebellion of the Azarian resistance movement but will not recognise their claim to Transvaal's territory unless they can obtain Transvaal's recognition first. We view this as an internal matter for Transvaal to solve in its own way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shan Revan Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The Omiscient Empire of Naboo will not recognise this terrorist organisation. The premeditated murders and attempted murders on any person is despicable. The methods the ARM employs are not only cowardly but shortsighted as they will merely bring futher death, destruction and prejudice against the people they claim to champion. ***Private message to Transvaal*** We had been following the situation for some days through what means we had but were unaware of the extent this revolt had grown to. In the interests of bettering relations, and maintaining a stable environment within the continent, I offer to place the 32nd Infantry division in your service. If you require further assistance do not hesitate. When things settle down we would like to exchange embassies with Transvaal and open formal relations.

Cataduanes Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) The Philippines will not recognize the Azarian state, however the Freestate urges the Transvaal government to begin talks with the resistance to avoid further armed conflict and we further urge Transvaal to contemplate gradual reforms of its policy regarding minority rule. We do however consider this an internal Transvaal matter and will stand by Pretoria whatever decision it makes, and we humbly request our fellow Asian nations from interfering on any level in Transvaal's affairs. The Philippine tourist board also stressed its hope that it would be business as usual for the Philippines, as Transvaal citizens make up the majority of tourists to the Philippines many beach resorts.

JEDCJT Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 While we are neutral in this matter, we do offer our condolences to the Prime Minister and the Transvaler Government. In addition, we denounce the so-called Azarian Resistance Movement as a terrorist group. Terrorism has absolutely no place in this world. - John Kelikark, Leader of Byzantium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botha Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 OOC: This is bit strange for me, since Azarian is my last name, funny what you find on the internet. OOC: Actually I originally meant to use Azania or Azanian - which was a name sometimes used by black opponents of South Africa during the apartheid era. However after my first post I noticed I spelt Azanian as Azarian by mistake, but since Azaria sounds just as African I just went with that anyways.

J Andres Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 President Adrik Annan and the J Andres government recognize Staatspresident Botha and his government as the only legitimate government in Transvaal. We ill not recognize rebel factions. We are fully devoted to the termination of this rebellion within Transvaal, and offer aid, financially, or military if desired to stop this rebellion.

Manetheren Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 One company will actually be deployed to provide immediate security for the Staatspresident and the executive government, as it is unsure just how much ARM has infiltrated the Krygsmagte. Half of Transvaal's regular soldiers are Africans - and around one half of them have since joined the revolt (or revolution as ARM is calling it). Two Boeing 777's owned and operated by Aer Lingus, Tahoe's Flag Carrier, landed at Johannesburg International Airport early this afternoon after a long flight from Cruachan, Tahoe that included a layover in London. Two companies of Armtha SS soldiers, about 320 men in all, disembarked and were quickly escorted into the terminal by Transvaler authorities for transport into Pretoria. Lieutenant Colonel Peter van Haesten, the leader of 23 Batallion, stepped out of Aer Lingus LAO 3212 into the bright sunshine of South Africa. He, like all his men, was wearing a tan summer campaign uniform instead of the normal black dress uniform or grey winter campaign uniform. It was, after all, mid summer here instead of mid winter back home. He was glad to be somewhere warm, as the day they left it was in the low thirties and raining hard back home. He walked down the stairs on the outside of his craft and spotted a Transvaler officer waiting. "Greetings" he said in Afrikaans, "I am Colonel van Haesten, I hear you have transportation waiting for us?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 TRANSVALER KRYGSMAGTE LAUNCHES STRIKES AGAINST REBEL POSITIONS CYBERNATIONS NEWS NETWORK - reporting from Pretoria, Transvaal Field Marshal Paul Cruywagen commenced ground operations today against Azarian Resistance Movement positions in Rhodesia as the Federal Government began its crackdown on active government opposition. Fighting raged in the Bulawayo and Salisbury districts as the Krygsmagte worked to establish a land link with troops holed up in Lusaka. Minor skirmishing also occurred in the Nandi district along the border with Mozambique “Our goal is the liberation and re-imposition of government control south of the Zambesi River. Once that is achieved, we shall move northwards to eradicate the remaining terrorists” said Marshal Cruywagen in unusually tough language for the normally quiet spoken and reserved commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The Lugmag carried out numerous daylight bombing runs against ARM reserve positions as B-1 Lansiers struck furiously at anything seemingly hostile that moved. In the urban areas, widespread arrests continued as Interior Ministry forces launched raids in the restless townships to re-exert state control. At least 500 homes in Soweto have been bulldozed in retaliation for yesterday’s rioting by the African population residing there – leaving approximately 2,000 citizens homeless. There have been scattered reports of Verwoerd Front supporters in Bloemfontein setting up vigilante groups and carrying out random acts of violence against the local black population there in retaliation for the assassination attempt against its leader, the Reverend Erasmus Du Toit. At least three deaths have been confirmed as Federal troops stood by as onlookers when a lynch mob hung three innocent Africans plucked from a crowd of arrested protesters. The Verwoerd Front has said it will proceed to hang three Africans each day until the three assassins are brought to justice and executed – seemingly oblivious to the fact that one assassin was already killed and that the Federal Government has never officially carried out an execution since the death penalty has never been part of the legal system. The embassy of Neo Japan was ordered closed today by Pretoria after it could not promise the security of the Neo Japanese ambassador in light of that nation’s recognition of ARM. Since the Neo Japan government announced its recognition, a mob of Verwoerd Front supporters has been blockading the embassy preventing anyone from leaving or entering. Foreign Minister Stellenbosch told reporters that the Neo Japanese ambassador was spirited out of the country as soon as possible for his safety but that diplomatic support staff still remain in the embassy compound.

Lord Frost Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The entire ambassadorial staff of the Empire in Pretoria is being ordered out of Transvaal "We don't need our politicians interfering in the natural evolution of South African politics. Transvaal was a rebellion waiting to happen, as we have often pointed out, just as we have often told the transvaalers that treating its majority population with greater equality would lead to a brighter future for the nation" The Transvaal ambassadorial staff in the Temporary foreign district in Iwo Jima has not been ordered to clear house, for reasons of "continued diplomacy with Transvaal. As far as the Empire is concerned, all that is happening is black south africans creating their own nation, which is not our major concern". Imperial Guard Infantry have been placed on the building for the Transvaaler's security, though no major riots or acts of violence are expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) He walked down the stairs on the outside of his craft and spotted a Transvaler officer waiting. "Greetings" he said in Afrikaans, "I am Colonel van Haesten, I hear you have transportation waiting for us?" “Colonel van Haesten, good to meet you under the circumstances.” The Transvaler officer, in the uniform of the Interior ministry, saluted and spoke in English: “I am Lieutenant Robbins. I have transport here for your men to Pretoria. My orders to pass on to you are that 300 are to be stationed in the government quarter of the city, specifically in the immediate vicinity of Government House and the Interior Ministry across the street. The remaining 20 will be split into two detachment of 10 men each; one group flown to Windhoek in Namibia to the emergency bunker where Staatspresident Botha has been taken for his safety. They will provide his bodyguard until it is absolutely safe for him to return to Pretoria. The other 10 will be deployed at the hospital in Pretoria and guard Prime Minister Strijdom. We want your best, crack 20 men for these two detachments.” Lieutenant Robbins took van Haestan to where the convoy of troop carriers were waiting. “Sir, once we arrive in Pretoria, you will be taken to the Interior Ministry to meet with Colonel van Zyl, the deputy minister of Interior. He has a special request to ask of you.” Colonel van Zyl Edited January 22, 2009 by Botha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The Transvaal ambassadorial staff in the Temporary foreign district in Iwo Jima has not been ordered to clear house, for reasons of "continued diplomacy with Transvaal. A few hours before as Foreign Minister Stellenbosch met with Ayuu Tora, the Neo Japanese ambassador: “Acknowledged, despite the recognition your government has given to the terrorists, the Federal Government at this point does not wish to suspend diplomatic relations. It is possible – and this is only my own personal view here - that Neo Japan might prove most useful if either side wishes to start some form of negotiations or discussion. While others in the Federal Government may wish to cut relations, I am going to try to convice my colleagues in the Executive Cabinet to maintain them as long as I can for this reason. Of course I must do this subtly as no one else in the government, at least as far as I can tell, is tolerating any thought of talking with the ARM.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does no good to deny the natural evolution of South Africa" She gets up to leave "I must go now, the plane out of here will be leaving soon. No doubt my Emperor will want to recall the entire team" she said.

Botha Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 May I ask, did any of the assailants ever say who they were working for? As we have had an attack from a terror group a few days ago, and we are currently setting up an investigation. The terror attacks were all co-ordinated by the Azarian Resistance Movement. As far as our intelligence knows, ARM has no foreign backing or support except verbal recognition from one government. The military forces of ARM are mutinous soldiers from our own army. In the interests of bettering relations, and maintaining a stable environment within the continent, I offer to place the 32nd Infantry division in your service. If you require further assistance do not hesitate. When things settle down we would like to exchange embassies with Transvaal and open formal relations. Agreed, formal diplomatic relations will be established at your convenience. As for your offer of the 32nd Division, this would be helpful for the immediate moment. We would like to station this at our naval facilities and shipyards in Cape Town to protect our fleet at anchor. The Philippines will not recognize the Azarian state, however the Freestate urges the Transvaal government to begin talks with the resistance to avoid further armed conflict and we further urge Transvaal to contemplate gradual reforms of its policy regarding minority rule. The Philippine tourist board also stressed its hope that it would be business as usual for the Philippines, as Transvaal citizens make up the majority of tourists to the Philippines many beach resorts. The opinions and concerns of the Philippines are duly noted. As for tourism business, we are actually anticipating a small boom for the Phillipines economy as many Transvalers - certainly those of white ethnicity from Johannesburg - have been renewing their visas and booking extended hotel stays in lieu of returning home to the conflict. = = = The Federal Government of Transvaal thanks all those who have given us their moral, verbal, and - in some cases - military suport.

Manetheren Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Upon recieving the orders from Lieutenant Robbins, Colonel van Haesten turned two his three subordinates, Captains Murphy and Cowen (commanders of A and B companies of 23 Batallion, respectively) and Lieutenant Douglas (commander of the Ranger detachment). In Irish, he quickly issued his orders. A and B companies would board the Transvaler troop carriers bound for Pretoria while the Ranger special forces would deploy to protect the Staatspresident and Prime Minister. Lieutenant Douglas and the 12 men of 1st Squad would be protecting the Staatspresident while Second Lieutenant McTavish and the 11 men of 2nd Squad would protect the Prime Minister. Originally the Army Ranger Special Forces were planned to be a rapid response team in Pretoria, but they would be more than adequate to protect the Transvaler VIP's, after all, they were the best trained troops in Tahoe. van Haesten turned back to Robbins, "I hope you don't mind that 25 men will be part of the detachments protecting the Staatspresident and Prime Minister, they are the best Tahoe has to offer, I assure you." He signaled to his troops, who immediately grabbed their gear -which had been unloaded by the flight crews- and rushed to their transports. The 13 special forces troops who would fly to Windhoek stood off to the side, faces impassive, waiting to board an aircraft to take them there. The other special forces joined the rest of the SS troopers in boarding the transports bound for Pretoria. Colonel van Haesten stood with Robbins, waiting for his lead.

Botha Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Colonel van Haesten stood with Robbins, waiting for his lead. The main convoy made its way along the Kaiser Martens Highway which linked Johannesburg to Pretoria. The highway was earily silent as there was no traffic except for the troop carriers and scattered military vehicles and some Krygsmagtetanks. Looking to the west of Johannesburg, van Haesten could see distant, dark clouds of smoke rising in the sky. Lieytenant Robbins noticed van Haesten observing the smoke. Over the noise of the carrier engines, "Soweto" grunted Robbins and nodded in the direction of the smoke. "The airforce sent its strategic bombers in this morning, completely leveled the place considering most of it is tin shacks." = = = The countryside view from the back of the carrier was one of desolation. A little while later, van Haesten's attention was taken by some corpses littered on the side of the highway, judging from the tattered uniforms and the colour of the men's skin, most likely some isolated rebels cut down by the Krygsmagte. The convoy reached Pretoria and slowly made its way through the abandoned streets. The city felt like a ghost town as fearful civilians not caught up in the rioting stayed indoors. Garbage littered some streets, a broken barricade here and there... a child's doll, laying in the gutter... blood stains on the ground... = = = Colonel van Zyl The troops carriers pulled to a stop in front of Government House. Lieutenant Robbins jumped down from the carrier. "Sir, if you please, follow me..." Robbins lead the Tahoan colonel across the street to the non descript headquarters of the Ministry of Interior & State Security. "Minister Boersma is up north in Rhodesia with Marshal Cruywagen, his assistant Colonel van Zyl is heading operations in the Witswaterand region surrounding Pretoria and Johannesburg." Van Haesten was ushered into Van Zyl's office. Sitting at the desk was a uniformed man in his early fifies, with a strange cropped haircut and wearing cokebottle glasses. He spoke with a lisp in in an almost creepy, reptilian manner: "Greetingss, I am Van Zyl. Thank you for meeting me on short notice. I have a mosst urgent matter that needss attending and I have no one here who can perform it. Everything must be kept disscrete, if word leakss out who ordered thiss, I shall have you meet an untimely accident - sso, can I rely on you to carry out thiss matter?"
