Cyfarrchio and welcome to TawTV news, on tonight’s programme:
- Following a year of infighting over the Paradis conflict, the Vongolé administration crumbles.
- The ministry of defence issues a warning to those living along the Paradis strait
- Waifus, what are they, and why is the government using them for propaganda?
Firstly, the new President of Tawuse.
Yesterday, a vote of no confidence within the Laborers of Tawuse led to the ousting of reigning president Vongolé. The position of party chair has been assumed by rising star, Hefin Rrhys, representing the Altomaré canal district.
Mr Rrhys built his campaign around diversifying the economy to include defensive contracts with other Arcturian nations and strengthening the defence of Centro airspace, having criticised the previous president in his “soft” approach on dealing with the PILF, claiming to bring an end to the war that has wrecked the lives of thousands of lupine that call the island home.
“Tawusians, good evening. I wish you all well on this lovely Winter evening. Winter is here, and in the cold brings unity. I look forward to serving you”
Mr Rrhys’ ascension comes after a leak from inside President Vongolé’s office revealed that his administration knew of the heightened threat of the subway bombings that caused the war, but had failed to act in a timely manor.
Do you know your assigned shelter?
The Rrhys administration has since confirmed plans to increase funding to build rocket defence systems around the capital, aiming to intercept PILF attacks launched from across the strait. The PILF launched a home made rocket attack against the capital, a mere 100km away, last month, with rockets landing within the strait between the mainland and Paradis. Of course, no one was injured but the ministry of defence has warned those living within 25km of the coast to know of their local shelters, and to keep mobile phones on to receive emergency alerts.
In retaliation of these attacks, the ministry of defence now under the directions of a new chair, have launched air raids on PILF territory. The counterattack utilised new mappings of the island, targeting the subterranean guerrilla hideouts used by the PILF which levelled 17 acres of boreal forest, angering the spiritual green representatives in congress.
The government has released a statement, admitting regret for the loss of ancient forest. However, the spokesperson also relayed that although this loss was unfortunate, it was a necessity in the extermination of extremism on the island.
Waifus. What are they and why are they everywhere at the moment?
We bet you’ve seen them. We have!
The ministry of defense is calling on Lupines from Paradis to come forward and join the Paradisian guard. Why you ask? The government believes that staffing military patrols with indigenous peoples will help ease tensions in areas almost exclusively lupine. So far, the campaign has recruited 200 guardsmen, all were fans of the posters.
“Unity! Lupines make Tawuse stronger” - In Tawusian, the poster has been criticized by some for infantilizing the conflict. What do you think?
That’s all from us this evening in Altomaré. Stay safe, and remember, report any suspicious activity to your local authorities.
