From Great Britain and South Africa
To World
In the last year instability, fractional regionalism, ideological and racial violence, and outright war have engulfed South Africa.
Thanks to the diplomatic and political efforts of the people of South Africa, Roedesia, KwaZulu, Swaziland, and Great Britain, as well as the military investment of South Africa, Australia and Great Britain, we are happy to announce the end of hostilities, the return of peace, and the reunion of the fractured South African states.
Firstly, South Africa is happy to accept the unconditional surrender of Transvaal-Botswana. At the same time, the government of South Africa, under the guidance of Great Britain, officially and formally recognizes that the Transvaal-Botswana rebellion was not without legitimacy. The South African government recognizes the illegality of applying laws meant to curb communism and socialism to disenfranchise the majority Black and Asian population (see update 1). Nearly a year ago Great Britain, in its efforts to mediate between South Africa and the Transvaal-Botswana conceded as much to the military government of Transvaal-Botswana and suggested that some sort of territorial sharing agreement take place between the rebels and South Africa. The rebels refused such an agreement, believing they could win by military power the entirety of South Africa. Diplomacy having failed, Great Britain and Australia intervened militarily, after outlining a number of conditions to be placed upon the South African parliament to prevent such a disaster from reoccurring, and were ultimately able to squash the rebellion. Now South Africa is in the process of rebuilding itself, of developing better, more responsible government where the failures of the past will not reoccur. It is a process Great Britain has committed itself to assist in, and indeed, Great Britain will be directly involved in providing the methods and tools requisite to prevent a disaster such as the one we are now recovering from.
Rhodesia has also been liberated from the military threat of Transvaal-Botswana. The executive of Prime-Minister Godfrey Huggins as well as his cabinet have outlined to Great Britain a desire to gain a degree of autonomy from the Dominion of South Africa while retaining its traditional ties, politically, economically, and strategically with Great Britain. Under the provisional government of Prime-Minister Huggins, the people of Rhodesia will soon be going to the polls to determine if they wish to reunite with South Africa or if they wish to undergo a period of protected self-rule within the empire of Great Britain lasting five years. During this time they would be provided with the methods and tools for proper independent rule. After the five-year period the people would then hold a referendum for complete independence.
Finally the governments of KwaZulu and Swaziland have agreed to reunify with South Africa. These agreements are dependent upon a number of concessions from South Africa which effectively place the affairs of infrastructure, health, and education under the control of the regional government while all other affairs will remain centralized within the South African dominion government.
May peace and prosperity return to South Africa and may we put this dark chapter in our history behind us forever.
