It appears as if the tired old rabble-rousers in Denzistan have once again begun the old rhetoric of "democratic reforms". It is hardly worthwhile for me to bother to point out that no democratic reforms are taking place in Syawla, and that in fact a new dictator is arising and seeks to persecute Catholics as a Protestant, instead of vice versa. Their predjudice and extremeist anti-catholocism blinds them to the truth. To Denzistan, anything not Catholic is "Secular" and "the only way everyone can co-exist". This is hypocratic and heartless deceit. Catholics are at the gallows in Syawla, and the "peacemaking" Denzitanis praise the actions of a persecuter because he will make Syawla less Catholic. It is truly a shame that Emperor Jean died when he did, for although he betrayed the Church, he was outspokenly against the evil of Denzitan and their CENTO henchmen. CENTO, a great travesty to be numbered among all the evils to smite Africa, which speaks out against God and praises the murder of Catholics under the guise of peace. If the "Chancellor" accomplish any good in his "reign", let it be the continued rejection of the evil that Emperor Jean so knightlyly championed. --Emperor Galerius I Quintilianus |

Dr Camizu concurs with Emperor Jacob, in the hope that Africa will settle its disputes. However, he also points out that as long as the thing that has been causing all the disputes for so long continues to remain in Africa, nothing will change. |

There does seem to be an appearant pattern, in regards to CENTO; we are grateful to the Syawlan initiatives. We hope that reason will continue to prevail. We wish to invite the Imperial Chancellor to a retreat in Addis Ababa, in an effort to reconcile any differences between Syawlan politics and Catholicism. |

Excerpts from "Interview with Cardinal John Solomonides, the Crown Prince of South Africa" appearing in "The Sentinel" newspaper in Italy. .... Reporter: As the heir to the SOuth African imperial throne, what are your thoughts regarding the future of our Church in your native continent? Cardinal Crown Prince: Clearly the Church's progress in Africa has been quite amazing in the past generation, and we have seen, and we will contineu to see, millions of souls embrace the Catholic faith. But obviously the spread of truth and righteousness always provokes resistance from the treacherous and petty-minded. Denizistan's plots against the legitimate Catholic governments of southern Africa are in line with their militant secularist and imperialist nature, and we as faithful Catholics definitely need to be vigilant about the Denizistani threat. Syawla's apostasy is truly a sad event for Catholics everywhere but I am confident that their heresy can be extinguished. In the end the unwavering inspiration of our Lord will reverse these recent setbacks and the Church will inevitably triumph over Africa's enemies. Reporter: What is your advice to the faithful in Africa? Cardinal Crown Prince: In these difficult times, you may feel doubt about your faith but that is perfectly alright. Doubt is a process towards an even more enriching faith, and our Lord's grace is irresistable to all Catholics, even those of you who may sometimes feel unsure. In the end we all return to our Church and our Lord. The days of the schismatic governments - including the South African Empire run by my father - are numbered. We have already celebrated virtue's triumph over evil in Neo-Macedonia, and the Church Militant will soon spread to every corner of Africa. Keep your doctrines and your traditions pure, keep your faith and your love, and you will be well equipped for all challenges. .... |

If Denizistan and it's puppet organization CENTO truely wish to avoid conflict in Africa then they will not publicly proclaim against Catholics in Syawla and would condemn the actions of the Imperial Chancellor. Catholic Cardinals were illegally arrested, the Emperor Jean II was taken from his and his families faith and custody was refused to the Emperor's only surviving blood relative, Queen Chloe of Neo-Macedonia. How it can excuse any of these actions and claim that they work in the interests of peace is beyond me. But, once again, we hear the same old drivel from Uygar about the intentions of the government being to spread peace and democracy and all these other nonsense things, masking their true intentions.

The Imperial Chancellor is grateful for South African support on this issue. It is his humble opinion that the Catholic Church and its meddling is indeed responsible for many of the catastrophes that have blighted this continent. Thankfully, due to the reforms that our government has recently instigated, such problems may be avoided in the future of Syawlan affairs. A failure on the part of the Pope to accept this, will result in serious repercussions for the Catholic Church within Syawla. However, as a gesture of goodwill, I have offered a pardon to the Cardinals implicated in the recent terrorist scares, on condition that they swear an oath to the Imperial Crown. The legislation suspending the Catholic faith, has now been cancelled. The suspension on the Christian Coalition however, will not be lifted while this party continues to make statements inciting religious hatred. In other news, the Imperial Chancellor has suspended the Syawlan Social Democrat Party's political activities while it goes under investigation. This follows allegations that the party was receiving illegal financial support from the Denizistani government. As a result, the Imperial Council and Senate comes under the complete control of the Imperial Chancellor's party (Christian Democrats Party for Prudential Government); granting unto him virtual complete governmental authority. --- The Imperial Funeral is set to take place on the morrow, hence the Chancellor's attention shall be devoted to my sombre duties at this event. I herein refresh my invitation to my regional partners to take part in the ceremony. A Catholic Cardinal, who has shown great loyalty to the regime, will preside over the ceremony on behalf of the late Emperor and Empress. |

Despite the obvious un-democratic tendancies of the Imperial Chancellor, Denizistan still has yet to condemn him. Why? I shall tell you why. It is because they are anti-Catholic, that is quite plain for all to see now. Pope John XXV |

The Imperial Chancellery will not take long to respond to these ridiculous allegations, seeing as it is busy preparing a much important state funeral. Imperial Chancellor Dupers is committed to democratic principles and practices. His recent activities in suspending certain political parties have been provoked by serious misdemeanours by opponent parties (i.e. funding from foreign governments which is illegal in Syawla) and due to one promoting religious violence. The Imperial Chancellor himself denies all claims that he is anti-Catholic, for if he were, would he be permitting his godchild Emperor Jean II to be christened in the Roman faith or attending a funeral with Catholic rites for the late Emperor Jean I on the morrow. --- The Imperial Chancellor, feeling threatened by growing regional hostility to his reforms, has formally appealed to CENTO for protection. Despite demanding an apology from the Denizistani government for its violation of Syawlan constitutional law (by donating to a political party), the Chancellor is confident that Denizistan, as leader of CENTO, will side with him. |

And my own government is stunned by Denizistan's complete lack of understanding. And hear, it is NEVER ENOUGH! I have no intention of visiting bigotous Denizistan and watching its government run peons. I also pay no heed to Denizistan's self-righteous and substanceless "Constitution". My only concern is for Catholics and Africa, and Denizistan hates both. They bluster on about what great reformers they are, how they have saved Africa and brought Democracy, yet they are the first to complain about Africa's woes. Where does the back-patting end? Denizistan hasn't brought about ANY democratic reform or ANY betterment of Africa. They simply applaud the actions of anyone who hates Catholics and steal land from still functioning governments. The Denizistan leadership is made of liars and thieves. They go on about CENTO, of the half-dead UN, neither of which have any power nor have brought about a possitive influence in Africa. They simply spout out the same rhetoric again and again trusting that if we hear it enough, we will believe it. Where is the proof? Where is the improvement. Denizistan has brought less good to the whole of Africa than the Catholic faith. Catholocism ended the South African Civil War, which Denizistan was too cowardly to enter, ended the Neo-Macedonian Civil War, saved flood victims in CNNP, and crushed a dictator in Ghana. Denizistan has accomplished nothing. They "try" to help Africa, by stealing land and being self-righteous. "The African Union" proposed by Denizistan would be another vehicle of CENTO, which has done nothing but sit and squander funds since its conception. The Asian Union could be looked up to as a model of success, but Denizistan never would, for they are too self-righteous. They will never learn. --Emperor Galerius I Quintilianus |

The Holy Father would never demean himself by entering that den of iniquity, Denizistan. Again the claim to be helping Africa and needlessly pat themselves on the back. Sickening. Denizistan and CENTO are one of the major forces hindering African togetherness. And while I can't answer myself for the Pope, Denizistan's questions seem trivial as they follow neither of those doctrines. Their only movements regarding religion have been to smother it and push for secularity. And it is only obvious that Denizistan would "cast some doubt" on the Pope's words. That is all they do. They have no spine, and rely on name-calling to push a nonexistant political agenda. I will NEVER show Denizistan a positive attitude until they end the CENTO nightmare and stop being so didactic and preachy while they sit on their ends and do nothing for Africa.

The Imperial Carriage bearing the royal couple's coffins left the Imperial Palace at around 10am. It was decided that the couple should make this last journey together before both being buried together in the Cathedral. The streets were lined with people and almost all businesses were shut. There was no noise from the crowd as the cortege passed by. Any extreme Catholics who turned up to heckle were soon silenced by the crowd, perfectly still in its observance of the silence. The Imperial flag was everywhere to be seen. Many women cried as the corteges passed by. The procession passed for about a mile, with the Imperial Chancellor as chief mourner. Behind him, a female aide held firm the infant Emperor Jean II, unaware of the eyes watching him in sympathy and expectation. The funeral party entered the Cathedral around an hour later. Crowds outside stretched for a good few miles. The sermon was begun by Catholic Priests who praised the couple's piety and prayed for the souls pf the couple on behalf of the Pope. At this point there was a disturbance as a woman from the back of the church hurled religious damnations and obscenities in the direction of the Imperial Chancellor before being escorted out. The Imperial Chancellor then spoke of how the Emperor's great dream was coming true and that his deathbed wish for a secular democracy was being attained. He praised the Emperor as the greatest ever African and called upon the representatives of the other African nations to embrace what he claimed was Jean I's dream; a united Africa, free of interference from the outside world. With that the Chancellor sat, to a muted applause. The ceremony continued for another hour before the party headed outside, as attendants lowered the couple into the crypt and placed memorial slabs on top of them. Thus ended a controversial but groundbreaking funeral, reign and life. |

In truth, I had hoped that the Denizistan government would respond TO MY ALLEGATIONS, instead of changing the subject and ranting on pointlessly. Africa is volatile because her citizens are POOR, HUNGRY, and EMBATTLED. Denizistan doesn't help in any of these areas. Helping your own subjects is quite different from reaching out, which Denizistan would never think of doing. When Neo-Macedonia fell into Civil War, did Denizistan help? No! Why? Because Neo-Macedonia is Catholic and Denizistan doesn't want the Pope to be too powerful! It was Norightsia who reclaimed the Queen's rightful throne. When a flood ravaged the CNNP, did Denizistan help? No! Why? Who knows!? It was Norightsia who payed for a large percentage of the damage and got companies to reinvest in the country. Denizistan couldn't bother. What has Denizistan done? They cite only their hostile and internationally disputed land grab in Akam De and a single war in which they were part of a coalition. Very helpful. In truth, Denizistan can't be bothered to help Africa. They have gorged themselves on their own Propaganda, which undoubtedly praises themselves greatly. Norightsia has no propaganda about Denizistn. No one cares how a nation DOESN'T help. But I have a colony in Africa, and I see her people. Africa has been abused by Denizistan, who helps once and then assumes that they are untouchable. They weaken their much vaunted UN by undermining the leader Malagassia's authority, which they admit to. They have obviously not helped in any recent catastrophe. They instead spend all their money "reforming" their decrepit government and bribing their people. They are terrible blight on the face of Africa. They promised the CAC help against the tyrannical and racist Russians, but did no such thing. Their CENTO is a machine for liars. It is sad to see Africa fall into a state of petty name-calling and fake reforms like Denizistan tries to do. With such comments as "You read too much propaganda" and "you don't know anything about Africa". They try to bring me into it. I REFUSE! Don't cry for the dead promises of Denizistan! Cry for the Africa they are throwing away and KILLING! I care for Africa! And if unmasking the lies and deceit of Denizistn is the only way to do it, so be it. --Emperor Galerius I Quintilianus |

The Imperial Chancellor in a statement has urged for the present climate of tensions in Africa to cease. This was in response to a question regarding recently escalating wars of words between CENTO and the Catholic Church. The Imperial Chancellor also admitted that he was wrong to show faith in such an organisation as CENTO for not only its incompetence but also its narrow-mindedness which he said was no better than that of the Catholic Church. At the same time he dismissed any talk of Syawla reconciling with the Holy League because of the said organisation's religious intolerance and lack of pluralism. The Imperial Chancellor instead said that he would seek to build a coalition of like-minded states determined, in the event of war between the two sides, to avoid being dragged into it. |

Our government is pleased at the reassurances of the Denizistani government, for we never suggested that such a war was being planned. However it is ridiculous for them to deny that at present relations between Denizistan and Catholic League members are at an all time low. Our government is however disappointed at Denizistani reluctance to recognise CENTO's own failings which forced our recent withdrawal of membership. We suggest that it is in the interest of Denizistan and its membership to rectify these weaknesses before it seeks to tell others how to operate efficiently. |

In a move aimed at enhancing Syawlan prestige and reputations worldwide, the Imperial Chancellor has announced that he has reapplied for membership of the United Nations. He hopes that as a leading power in Africa, Syawla can fulfill its destiny as a force for good in the region. In similar news, the Imperial Chancellor has commented on the nomination of Denizistan as regional delegate:

We will welcome the Syawlan leadership to the UN and still believe that Syawla and the Holy League can come to some reconciliation over the course of past events. Our offer is still open for the Syawlan Imperial Chancellor to come to Addis Ababa for a discussion with President Augusto Pinochet to help ease the tensions between the Great Denizistan, CENTO, and the Holy League. We also pray for the child and heir apparent. May he come to rule his people with benevolence. |
