FROM THE OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF THE SOCIALIST PARTY OF MORA TAU, DIRECT ACTION;

NINARA DECLARES WAR ON MORA TAU.
Comrade Lora Campbell

Following a tirade of anti-Mora Tau propaganda, including the suggestion that the General-Secretary of our nation, Comrade Christina Janke, should be assassinated, the Democratic Republic of Ninara has declared a state of war against the People's Republic of Mora Tau with the backing of the Eicia-Iycerian SSR and Grodhuite SSR.
The announcement was followed by the mobilisation of at least a hundred tank and infantry divisions as well as the heavy bombing of Mora Tauan cities and industrial centres with aircraft and long-range missiles launched from Ninaran naval vessels.
Mora Tau's response has so far been slow. Mora Tauan anti-aircraft batteries have succeeded in downing an estimated 150 Ninaran aircraft and Mora Tauan naval vessels have engaged Ninaran naval forces. Leninaville has been captured. The main Ninaran land advance has been halted at the Mora Tauan city of Union. Ninaran forces have dug themselves in 17 km from the city and are bombarding it heavily. Mora Tauan forces have succeeded in stopping other smaller advances all over the country, although many Ninaran paratrooper divisions have succeeded in causing major damage to several power stations and two dams have been reported to have been destroyed.
A nuclear bomb has been used according to reports from the Western Mora Tauan province of Tara Ma to destroy a large military storage depot. An estimated 2000 personnel have been killed with an additional 7000 wounded. Fortunately, however, it is apparent that no civilians were killed, as the depot was located in the Hai Desert.
The response from the Soviet Union to this cowardly attack on the People's Republic of Mora Tau has been negative and many soviet leaders, including Comrade Bannon, have condemned the actions.
It is widely believed that Ninara's motivations are purely nationalistic. Forced to concede the empire abroad, the Ninaran state has been preoccupied with keeping the Ninaran populace under control and this invasion appears to be an attempt to boost morale at home, rebuild Ninaran international prestige and rebuild the fragmented economy. The Chairperson of the National Front of Ninara (NFN), Nina Janke, has expressed her plans to take power in the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union but has been prevented from doing so by the strong Mora Tauan presence in the Supreme Soviet.
The President of the People's Republic of Emerigo delivered the following statement at an emergency session of the Soviet Ministry of the Interior;
"Comrades; the Soviet Union exists for a reason, and that is to ensure that its member republics are safe from attack and united against the imperialists of the world. We must take a firm stand and intervene in this civil war. Ninara's attack has been completely unjustified. In order to maintain the internal security of the Soviet nation, we must intervene on Mora Tau's behalf."
The People's Republic of Emerigo and the Community of Malibar are both sending military units to defend Mora Tau. Soviet leader Bannon has also declared his support of Christina Janke and the People's Republic of Mora Tau.
The government of Mora Tau has stated that Ninara's membership to the Soviet Union shall not be revoked as Ninara shall soon be in the hands of a more sane government, if all goes well.

Mora Tau is calling for international assistance.
