Sargun II Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 "As long as the people of the colony or protectorate are adequately represented there should be absolutely no problem whatsoever." Quote
Fizzydog Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) "We agree with Nod on this issue. A colony in Africa should be generally frowned upon and not accepted into the league." Edited March 9, 2011 by Fizzydog Quote
Mergerberger II Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Posted March 9, 2011 It does not really matter what either of you think, as you are not in the League. Furthermore, the Islamic Union of Maghreb alters its vote regarding the Atlas Empire to 'No' rather than 'Abstain. OOC: I meant to make this closed. Quote

[/quote] Then we we clarify our position with regards to this 'League of Africa'. Should the League be deemed a force that promotes or protects colonization of Africa - the Nation of Nod would be of the first to exact appropriate measures to rectify the situation, in tandem with the sentiments of other like-minded African nations.

Moriarty Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Colonialism, while frowned upon by the Caliphate may certainly be positive force such as in building infrastructure, educating the populace, and raising the standard of living for Africans who currently live under protectorate status. However, should there exist any sacking of African resources, abuse of African citizens' rights, or having any negative presence in African affairs then we must certainly act. The nation of Nod is exaggerating a bit as the League would never promote actions negative to African afairs, so long as we have a say. Obviously we should all act if anyone promote actions that put the well fare of the continent at risk or threaten the well being of its people. We kindly ask that Nod exit the League's forums of communication please unless and untill you submit an application to join. Finally, if the Union of Free Africa may please be changed to the Caliphate of Africa. Quote
Fizzydog Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 "We would like to know why Maghreb is against a pure, growing African nation joining the league. Is it because we were aginst your opinion?" Quote

While our nation might not have fought alongside the valiant United Mechodamian States, Novak and the Rebel Army during their swift and decisive victories over Italian colonials of the past - we dare say many an African would object to your characterization. We would also venture to say that Africa as a continent is not comprised of citizens so underdeveloped, and uneducated that they cannot lift themselves out of their 'plights' without the aid of benevolent imperialists. We do recall these same woeful Africans shedding much blood in ridding themselves of these benefactors! But perhaps such delicate intricacies are lost on us."

[/quote] It is a rare feat in this world that someone seeking admission to a bloc that they would criticize the very treaty they wish to place their signature upon, swearing by all they hold dear to uphold its laws. It is rarer still that someone would be looked upon favorably by the signatory nations after criticizing a treaty which those same nations have sworn to defend with their lives. Quote
