African Network News(A Commonwealth news channel that covers all of the region Africa and can be taken by all Earth nations with the appropriate receivers) broadcast:
In the recent months the(mainly Congolese, although few Angolans and Rwandan residents are represented) population of African Commonwealth is protesting the government's big spending on foreign military aid. Rumor will have it that the govt. burns great funds on supplying the hardline communist state Dra-pol with weapons and other supplies - funds that gives the still opressed Commonwealth citizens nothing back until the conflict is over and Dra-pol can pay back the favor with lucrative trading concessions.
More rabid critics also direct their ire at other government undertakings, such as the recent military expansion in all three national corps', and the fact that while civil rights such as the possibility to buy alcohol, stocks and other things were recently given to Commonwealth inhabitants, they are still not given the right to vote on government decisions or to hold elections that might oust the nation's consensual leader, the dictator Nwabudike James. James is a popular and quite benevolent leader, but is still outlawing all political freedoms. All protestors, critics and demonstrators that did not immediately disperse upon the military's arrival were eventually jailed and interrogated.
General Ndelebe, supreme commander of Commonwealth forces and head of the nations' military council said this in a statement earlier today:
"We understand the public concern over our military expansion and foreign aid, but we do this out of a sense of justice and believe that we must stick it out. Dra-pol will eventually help us recoup our resources, but until then we're seeking other financial opportunities. We are currently contacting old trade partners to see wether they would like to import our various goods, as well as discussing selling some of our surplus crops to the European Union."
Other African countries support the Commonwealth leadership, and are even talking of forming a permanent union with the country. Good evening, I'm Mma Django, AN news.
