The Peace Process

In a broadcast speech:

"I, President Devin Wire of The Incorporated States of Zeelar, representative of nearly six hundred million free souls, wish now to speak of the growing state of affairs in continental Africa. After an assassination and subsequent explosion into a state of warfare, with the loss of many lives, it is now our wish to handle such with the blows of diplomacy.

This should not be taken as a maneuver that represents an unwillingness to continue or any cue that our surrender is close. It should certainly not be seen as an act of weakness. However we invite all warring nations to be represented at a peace conference to be held at a secure and undisclosed location so that we might at least begin talks of such.

A great man once said ballots naturally replace bullets."

FROM THE DESK OF THE PRIME MINISTER

"We applaud the initiative taken by President Devin Wire of Zeelar and wish to act as a sponsor for this peace process. We would be more than honored to host such a conference within a safe and secure compound.

Indeed, it is a sad day for Africa when her neighbors fight amongst themselves; but we understand that these unfortunate this are but the folly of men. So, if it is the will of all the warring parties involved; the United States of Morrocon will host the event.

The Defense Ministry will contact each representative via a secure transmission line as the when and where specifics."

Sutekh-Te-Ankh shall send its delegate to your conference. Your war against my people has become a wasteful behemoth of death. Anubis has reaped many souls since it began.

You may come as part of your delegation. It is safe, we did this as a courtesy and security protocol. We wanted to insure that each of the participants were placed in secure settings.

This way we would be able to investigate any sort of breach or infraction that might occur quickly and swiftly. It was also done in mind that you both are technically in a state of war and we wanted to insure that assassination attempts by either party would be practically impossible.

Any attempt by either side in light of these security measures to assassinate the other will be viewed as an act of war against the United States of Morrocon and responded to in kind.

Again, these were done in the interests of peace. This inconvience will not last long, besides in your statement you stated that you wanted a place that "secure and undisclosed". We are simply meeting the criteria you set forth.

Again, as so many times before, would the airship greet the skies, addressing the land below. However this time there was no fanfare. Even the words "IZS Khartoum" were fading and faltering a bit on the side. Furthermore, the motors were greatly cut down on to eliminate sight. It was running as silent as...well, a balloon.

Creeping, mooring in the evening the vessel slowly came to touch down - the security contingent stepping out only consisted of two guards now considering the necessity of this being a mission for peace.

And with that four shadows disappeared into the murkiness of the night.

On his way back from the peace talks in the Azores with Hispania, Surak Girazed's jet was diverted to Morrocon for yet another peace talk. Much pride was being held within the Sutekhite government right now as their enemies seeked to give up the pointlessness of this war. This would go down in their history books as a great victory against the outside world.

The jet made a peaceful landing in Morrocon, its side bearing a glyph that resembled Sutekh himself, seated. The side hatch opened and a staircase pushed into position against it allowed Surak to meet Morroconian soil.

Both President Devin Wire and Surak Girazed were both received in a prompt fashion. No sooner had they exited from their arrival craft, they were taken into luxurious limos. Armored cars and military jeeps paved the way for them as they left for the secretly designated location of the peace talks.

The destination was Hudat, Morrocon; a bustling town of 76,023 people. The locals there were projected to top over 100 thousand by year's end. Yet, the routes that were taken led them on a country tour. Everywhere they saw "For Sale" and "Sold" property signs on underdeveloped land.

Then the convoys made a turn that if you weren't looking closely enough you would miss the turn. The road was leveled but was shielded by heavy undergrowth. They arrived at an old palace, that had an old iron gate with several new security cameras. After only a few moments of security verification, the two vehicles containing the president and envoy from Sutekh-Te-Ankh entered the secured perimeter and several well-dressed individuals and armed guards escorted the two gentlemen out of the cars.

The Ministry had sent Ato Bereket Simeon, Minister of Information, and Ato Egziabher Tamrat, one of the Directorates in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, to come and formally greet each of them.

Gentlemen, on behalf of the United States of Morrocon, the Ministry, and Africa, allow me to congratulate each of you on your choice to pursue peace. I am sure that you both are hungry, thirsty, and tired.

The palace has all of today's accommodations, I expect us all to be ready to hear each other out much better with a full stomach, quenched thirst, and rested body. You will each be given a staff compliments of Morrocon to aid you in your day-to-day affairs and to show you to your rooms and prepare meals and drink as you so desire.

President Wire, as was to be expected, was disgusted by the proposed development and the elaborate limousine, though he did not let it show and no one seemed privy to that fact. He was not one who was to question the hospitality being afforded to him. He would not in times of plenty, let alone now.

Having been lead to his room, he ate and drank a good bit out of nervousness before rushing to the bathing area to wash himself. After much deliberation, he decided to appear in his customary clothing rather than anything more formal, due to the conditions. And with this he set forth.

Ato Egziabher Tamrat:

Good morning gentlemen, I have one crucial update which needs. Ato Bereket Simeon has been recalled earlier this morning by the Ministry. Again, we apologise for this minor change in plans but assure both of you that the delegated purpose of this conference will not be changed.

Now, we have some trivialities to cover; focusing on media coverage. As of press time, Morrocon has not informed anyone outside of the Ministry of this event and we have no preference one way or the other on the matter. Any such press conferences or press releases will be at the discretion of you the participants since peace is the primary objective and public relations are secondary.

After you gentlemen have decided on handling the media, we can proceed. Here is the proposed schedule of how things should go.


Mr. Tamrat opened a leather binder and pulled out a piece of parchment paper and begin to lay it out to the delegates:

PEACE ACCORDS BETWEEN Zeelar AND Sutekh-Te-Ankh

1. MEDIA COVERAGE PROTOCOLS

2. PEACE INITIATIVE, President Devin Wire

3. PEACE INITIATIVE, Surak Girazed

4. RECONCILIATIONS OF PEACE DRAFTS PRESENTED

5. APPROVAL OF FINAL PEACE DRAFT

6. PEACE TREATY

Surak Girazed arrived to the meeting in an expensive black suit, contrasting with the dressed down president of Zeelar. He took his seat and began looking over the documents that Ato Egziabher Tamrat handed out. He was silent as he viewed over everything.

The Qosh-Mahdi of al Umma is greatly disapointed that their battle-comrades would abbandon field when the fight has just begun. He urgently requests the his allies in the Sutekh war not to give up hope. To retreat now would dishonor the blood of those who arleady gave their lives to annihilate the Sutekh pagans. These peacetalks are shamefull. We shall fight!

OOC: The Qosh-Mahdist forces will of course retreat themselves very shortly. The Islamic regime won't hold negotians with pagans

The President, wearily, looks up to him, "I think it best to eliminate the media at this time. It will only politicize the matter. Coming from an anarchist, I hope you realize the urgency of that statement."
