Our reporter, Mr. Mozaha (M) interviewed the President of Namibia, Mr. Lucas (L). Here is the interesting interview:
M: Hello Mr. president.
L: Hello.
M: My first question is what your foreign policy is?
L: We want to create a United Federal Africa. That is our main. However, now, in order to be able to ''complete'' this goal, we must focus on recovering our industry from the war period. At the same time, we must create a strong military and make strong alliances, mainly with the American states. So joining PATO is one of our main goals.
The second main goal of our foreign policy is to protect our allies. Mozambique is an ally of Namibia, so we have to protect them from threats, as they would protect Namibia from threats.
Mozambique right now is in a state of civil war, as some corrupt politicians tried to gain power by using the force of arms. They failed, however, thanks to our secret services that helped Mr. Lucifer to make a counter-coup against the Rebels.
Now, as allies of Mozambique, we shall help them end the civil war as soon as posible.
M: Some analysts think that this could lead into a Guinea - Namibian war. What do you think about it?
L: Well, I do not really think that right now there could be a war between Namibia and Guinea. The worst situation would be if Guinea send finacial help to the Rebels. But I do not think that they would risk a war over helping an illegal rebelion.
Also, Guinea and Namibia share better relations now than in the era of Romney. The days when Guinese and Namibians fought in the Romnopolis are over. Now our two nations share good relations.
We do not want to be aggressive against Guinea. We do not want a cold war between our two states. We want Guinea as a friend or even as an ally. We have no interest into having an anti-Guinea foreign policy.
However, we believe that Guinea should also take steps towards a better relationship between our two nations, and do not support rebels who fight against our allies. Alone, we cannot build friendly relations with Guinea. Guinea must also be willing to have good relations with Namibia.
M: If that fails, however, and there is a second war between Namibia and Guinea, what will you do?
L: I would defend the motherland.
M: Do you think that the operations against the Rebels would cost a lot of lives?
L: No. Certainly not. Well, of course, as in every war, there would be casualities. But we are going to try to limit those casualities as much as we can and also make sure that there will be as few as possible civilian casualities.
M: Do you think that, only after three years since the Namibian War, it is wise for Namibia to go again to war?
L: If we were attacked, we would expect help from our allies. But, at the same time, our allies expect that if they are attacked, we shall help them. So we are doing nothing more than keeping our agreements with our allies. We also want to tell to the world that Namibia will not accept any invasion or foreign backed revolution in it's allies!!
M: Now, let's talk about your economic policy. Recently, with the free market reforms, the economy of Namibia has grown a lot, but it is still relative weak. What do you think about this and what is your policy about the economy?
L: Well, the free market reforms have boosted our economy. Our industry continues to grow. We are doing very well. If you see the rise of industry the past three years, they have risen to almost 100% and this year may even rise to almost 150%.
Our economy is a bit weak mainly because our economy was destroyed by the Namibian war. The other states were able to focus their money on developing their industry, while we used our money to struggle to survive against the barbaric Vampiric hordes.
So, of course our economy is a bit weak compared to the other economies of the world. Our economy, however, now is on it's rise. We just need more time.
M: In the past twelve years, Namibia has gone from being a Tribal Communist dictatorship into a modern and developed democratic country with a strong sense of national unity, forged during the bloody Namibian war. What is your opinion about this ''leap'' of Namibia into the modern world?
L: I am very proud of being a Namibian. The Namibian nationality was in fact forged during the Namibian war. Before the war, Namibia was a collection of Tribes held together by a strong personality. After the war, there was a sense of national unity forged by the hardships of the war and the brutal occupation of Namibia.
I ma very proud that Namibia has now become a modern and democratic nation. I believe in a free and strong Namibia.
M: I thank you for answering my questions.
L: I thank you for inviting me here.
