Difficult reforms in SouthAfrica The new theocratic Emperor of South Africa, an ordained Cardinal in the Catholic hierarchy, John I, has unveiled an ambitious program of religious, social, and political renewal. A primary goal of the new regime is religious purity, more specifically, remaking the religious landscape of South Africa to resemble orthodox Latin Catholicism that the Emperor was familiar with during his childhood in Catholic Europe. To this end the Greco-Arabic Patriarch of the African Catholic Church, Ilyas I, was forced to abdicate and retire to a monastery; in his place the new Emperor nominated himself to the patriarchate to furhter unify the temporal and religious domains of government and to promote Latin Catholicsm. By patriarchal decree Cardinal Emperor John has imposed the Latin rite on 99.3% of the nation's parishes, and only 0.7% of the parishes, mainly retirement communities, are allowed to persist in the Greek tradition. The Inquisition has been reformed with Latin influences and more militancy; tens of thousands of Catholic European "advisors" had moved to South Africa recently to be administrators of the new theocratic government. These include hardline veteran inquisitors, bishops, preachers, and administrators, many old friends of the Cardinal Emperor. South Africa's existing Inquisition, frequently lax on enforcing religious laws, has been wholly suplanted by this new, more militant organization, and suspected heretics are being uncovered and punished at an efficient rate. Socially and politically, Greco-Africans, secularists, and liberals have been deprived of their offices and jobs, their families hounded, in order to promote religious theocracy. Upheavals in the buracracy and social order are surprisingly small, as most people have willingly cooperated with the new religious reforms. There has been some resistance from liberals and religious dissentors who had fluorished under Jacob I's reign. The government and Inquisition has been swift to deal with any riots or opposition movements. |

Our government is worried by the latest developments in South Africa. We seek urgent talks with the South African government to explain and hopefully rectify our fears and concerns. |

As always, the government of Syawla worries to much. All reforms start out shaky. Simple persistence and a degree of restraint on the part of foreign powers will lead to a better South Africa with minimal loss of life and property. Remember, the democratic reforms in America you hold so sacred involved two wars, and a certain amount of persecution of British Loyalists thereafter. Yet you would argue that no violence of any sort can reform. This is the discrepancy that is weaking the modern day UN and loosing support for CENTO. |

OOC No worries, It is only religious purification. Greco-Africans, whether Black or White or Asian, practiced the Greek rite and they are being compelled to switch to militant Latin doctrines. IC The South African government cannot negotiate with Syawla at the moment, due to the excommunication placed upon that country. -The Imperial Court |

The South African government has mobilized 15 regiments of infantry in preparation for an assault against the Marxist East London Commune. The Imperial force is in possession of 750 T-84 Russian Federation era tanks, in addition to thousands of light vehicles and light helicotpers. Air squadrons of MiGs and Sukhoi fighters have also been activated. The assembled forces have spent the month taking up positions around the south cape hill country, building offensive fortifications and making other preparations for the inevtiable campaign. |

Any troops or resources you are willing to lend us will be appreciated. --- South Africa condemns Syawla's lawless statements.

Encrypted Transmission To: Emperor John I From: Queen Chloe Most humble Emperor John I, I have heard of your efforts to finally rid your nation of the East London Commune which if I remember correctly is in the control of that barbaric and heretically Kurtz of Le Congo Leapold (OOC: If that's not right just skip the part where I mention that and carry on). As a show of good faith from a Catholic Sister to her Catholic Brother I will be sending weapons and other supplies to your battle front. I know it is God's will for you to rid South Africa of the London Commune and I await to see the results. End of Transmission |

Again, the paranoid Denizi task masters that own the UN and CENTO patter on about "unlawful" annexations. The East London Commune is in a state of active rebellion against theSouth African Government that rightfully owns the land. The East London Commune is also Communist, giving it a significant hatred of the administration. If the Denizis could drag out their dusty old rule book and show me where ending a rebellion and fighting enemies of the state is illegal, maybe I wouldn't talk so much. --Governor Werner VonEpstein |

Our government issues a final demand to the South African government to refrain from violence against the East London Commune. Such an act is against the maintenance of stability in the region and is completely unjustified. If this ultimatum is ignored, our countries shall once again find themselves at war. |

OOC Not right, but no biggie. Kurtz controls some in S. Africa land too, but it is separate from the EL Commune. IC The Imperial Government rejects all the lies and threats spoutedd by Syawla and Denizistan. Their dangerous provocations threaten the hard-won peace of this continent and brazenly challenge the fundamental, rights of sovereign nations everywhere. Syawla's and Denizistan's support of the East London Commune ammounts to a blatant declaration of war against the independent nation of South Africa; Imperial military units have been called for mobilization and duty for the inevitable tensions; defensive positions have been activatd in the northeastern border with Syawla. All South African diplomatic personnel have been recalled from Syawla and Denizistan, and all personnel from those nations have been expelled from South Africa. The campaign against the East London Commune will proceed on schedule and will commence as scheduled by the Imperial High Command. (OOC, when I feel less lazy :lol: ) Finally, South Africa is eternally thankful for the support of its fellow Catholic Nations - Neo-Macedonia and New Medea. At every opprutnity, The brotherhood of Christianity is the unbreakable unity that turns back those petty minded despots and greedy opportunists who proliferate in this world. -The Imperial Court |

OOC: Shit not another war already? Hows you Victor? Not seen you on MSN recently? IC: The Imperial Chancellor, despite the distraction of the recent kidnapping of the Emperor Jean II, has officially made a declaration of War against South Africa in the Imperial Senate. Alongside this, he gained passage of a bill promising massive funding to the military for these operations. Syawlan units have been diverted to the south in order to take up initially defensive positions against the South African threat. The Imperial Chancellor called upon the United Nations to aid Syawla in this time of peril. |

In light of the act of war that the imposter government that has seized Syawla has commited against our ally, South Africa, the Norightsian Empire, and all of its affiliate colonies, protectorates, interests, and provisionaries are notoffcially at war. All Syawlan Air Traffic over our airspace will be shot down, civilian or otherwise. All Syawlan shipping is forbidden in our waters, we will sink violaters. All Syawlan citizens on our land will be considered spies and shot on sight. All Syawlan interests in Norightsia and its affiliates have been seized and liquidated.(OOC: salutes Egyrian flag) All Syawlan citizens, ships, and aircraft have twenty-four hours to leave Norightsian soil, waters, and airspace, or they will be held as prisoners of war. That is all. --Emperor Galerius I Quintilianus Private Telegram to: Cardinal Minieres from: Director, GRM (OOC: Norightsian Assassins) The time has come to strike. Furnish my agent with a room when he arrives, and you will be greatly rewarded. Down with the Chancellor. |

Vice-Presidente Silvio Berlusconi: We must maintain our allegiance with the South African imperial government. They have been at our side and we must ask the government of Great Denizistan to cease this power play here on the African continent. This was designated as an internal affair and state of insurgency...we will aid the South African government in any way they see fit. However, we hope a more peaceful solution can be found. OOC: Sorry for the late reply, preoccupied...Invaders Empire :blink: |
