South Africa annexes Swaziland and Lesotho
Today at 19:35, the South African Army had officialy marched into Swaziland and Lesotho, two minor nations that it borders. The South African government has said that this was an attempt to "liberate these two nations from the tyrants governing them ever since the fall of the British Empire". The prime minister of Lesotho announced the capitulation of his country a few hours after the fall of Leribe and upon the entry of the SAA into Maseru. While the king of Swaziland, Mswatti III, had sent the USDF to try a desperate attempt to protect the kingdom, but the Defence Forces were quickly wiped out by the South African Military and it marched into Mbabane and captured the monarch, it is unknown as of yet, what shall be done with him.
Fall of Ghouta
The Syrian Government has succesfully taken the southern territory of East Ghouta, which had previously been held by the rebel forces. This land had been controlled by the SFA from the earlier stages of the war and had been under the attack of the Syrian Army since April 2013 and has finaly fallen after the taking of Erbin and Douma and the air strikes preformed on the other cities. The government now plans to continue the offensive against the Kurds the opposition in the North.

The German Government announces, close to the new elections, that it will not stand for the way the american president treats members of the Nato pact and that they will divert more funds to their own military and pull off their assets in the regions of Afghanistan and Syria within the comming weeks.The german-turkish Arms deal has been halted due to the invasion of turkish forces into north syria, while german troops also prepare to move out of Turkey back to Germany which can be seen as a all-time-low of the german-turkish-relations.
The leader of the right-wing party,that gained alot of popularity due to the migrant crisis,told the 'Deutscher Beobachter'(german newspaper) that the elections to come will be a "slap across the faces of all globalists" and will be a "new era" for the german state.
During the week the german army helt multiple manuevers alongside the german-polish border near Zwickau, featuring more than 12.000 men and 400 vehicles and tanks.

OOC: Can I propose that we change the newspaper name - if it will be the standard one for all events set by HoR’s - to Londinium Interregional News.Net? I think it makes it seem more modern.

Chancellor Vernius Asriel has announced that Bymaria is to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
Discontent with the actions of the United States and their control of this alliance, the nation has withdrawn from the NATO integrated military structure and our troops shall no longer be involved in its operations around the world, withdrawing all commitments to the organisation. We shall cease all financial contributions to the organisation’s budget, as we begin the process of leaving, united with other members expected to do the same soon. The decision has been approved by the National Assembly and Board of Executives.
The Chancellor wants to assure the nations of the world that Bymaria is perfectly capable of functioning without this alliance that has proved obsolete since the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and that serves to promote American imperialism while doing nothing to deescalate global tensions. We sincerely hope that this does not damage relations with our fellow european countries and will answer any questions they may have.
Money diverted from Nato will go towards the League of Peace and its aid operations around the world.

Prime Minister Verkain has announced several plans in her speech the past day. This including her plans to increase the contribution of Cochardia in the NATO budget by 4%. This comes out as the Chancellor of Bymaria sets forth to leave the pact that is set up to protect smaller countries like that of Cochardia. She has also told of an EU Summit to be commenced in the next few days in Brussels, to discuss that of reformations and the likes of immigration and debt. This is to be a likely such event as the German people turn towards a right-wing view of things. As well as the EU Summit, the Prime Minister has also called an emergency LoP meeting in the General Assembly in New York City to discuss the recent illegal annexations of Lesotho and Swaziland by the country of South Africa.
On lighter news, the Prime Minister and Grand Duke have planned to host US President Donald Trump in Luxembourg City to discuss the Cochardian-US relations and the furthering of such. This is to come to light as the Cochardian people have set forth the plan to raise their pay to NATO by 4% in the coming months/years.

Press release from the Government of Canada | Communiqué de presse du gouvernement du Canada
The government of Canada condemns the Republic of South Africa for its actions regarding the annexations of Swaziland and Lesotho. Therefore we will withdraw all ambassadors from South Africa and cease all diplomatic relations. We hope that the South African government sees the right path in relinquishing control of these territories.
The government of Canada calls for the cessation of all airstrikes and bombings in Syria to establish a safe airspace so that food, water and medical supplies may be brought in to relieve the people of Syria. The civil war in Syria has gone on too long and diplomatic talks are a must if the world wants to see peace. If the fighting does not stop, the humanitarian situation will only continue to worsen.
The government of Canada asks that the president of the United States please reconsider his standings on the matter of NATO. We hope that he realizes how important this defense pact is to world peace and how dissolving it would provide the necessary scenario for another cold war. Countries who do not spend the required percentage of their GDP on defense must not be punished, but encouraged to do better. All countries in NATO look up to the United States for support, and abolishing it would let them all down.
Le gouvernement du Canada condamne la République d'Afrique du Sud pour ses actions concernant les annexions de Swaziland et Lesotho. Par conséquent, nous retirerons tous nos ambassadeurs et de plus nous cessons tous nos relations diplomatiques avec l'Afrique du Sud. Nous souhaitons que le gouvernement Sud africain voit le bon chemin en abandonnant tout contrôle de ces territoires.
Le gouvernement du Canada exige la cessation de toutes les frappes aériennes et bombardements en Syrie pour établir un espace aérien sauf pour que la nourriture, l'eau et de fournitures médicales puissent être emportés pour soulager la souffrance de la peuple Syrien. La guerre civile a durée trop longtemps et des discours diplomatiques sont nécessaires pour la paix. Si le combat continue, la situation humanitaire continuera à s'empirer.
Le gouvernement du Canada demande que le président des États-Unis reconsidère sa position à propos du sujet de l'OTAN. Nous souhaitons qu'il réalise l'importance de ce pacte à la paix globale et que sa dissolution fournit le scénario nécessaire pour une autre guerre froide. Les pays qui ne dépensent pas le pourcentage réquis de leur PIB ne devront pas être punis, mais encouragé pour faire plus. Tous les pays dans l'OTAN admirent les États-Unis pour leur support, et l'abolition de l'OTAN les decevront tous.

An Announcement from the Cochardian Prime Minister Aleta Verkain
"The denial of freedom has been shown by the government of South Africa, and such denial will not go unnoticed. The United Duchies of West Cochardia, as well as other countries, have pledged to sever all diplomatic ties to the Republic of South Africa. Our General has dispersed troops to our South Africa Embassy in the city of Brussels, where they will be removed from their offices and put on a plane back to their country. We have decided to only speak with the government as long as the states of Lesotho and Swaziland are given the rights of freedom back. This illegal annexation will not go unheard by the people of Cochardia, and such diplomatic ties will now cease and all conversations will be handled by the Republic of Spania who will then address Cochardia. May the light of liberty shine once again in the hearts of Lesotho and Swaziland, God Save Cochardia."

May the light of liberty shine once again in the hearts of Lesotho and Swaziland OOC: This statement is somewhat misleading and misses some crucial details, reflecting far too well on these countries compared with the reality. The situation and standards in Swaziland in particular is no way as good as what was suggested and its leader undeserving of any apraisal. Taken from wikipedia: Oh, and he also leads a very lavish lifestyle while his citizens starve.

An address to the international community:
To preserve and protect Spania's interests and people, to aid in international affairs, and in hope of a brighter future, Spania will claim complete and total neutrality on the world stage. As such, effective immediately, Spania (Spain) will no longer remain a member of the EU or NATO. The money that will be saved as a result of this will be invested into Spania's job sector, as well as the Spanish economy. Along with leaving the EU and the NATO pact, Spain will not take part in or recognize alliances outside of the relm of politics. This is due to this nation's commitment to neutrality and peace.
-From the office of Prime Minister Ferdinand Lopez

OOC:
Umm Mariano Rajoy is a Spanish nationalist and conservative, who I doubt would make such a radical change and make his country neutral so suddenly. I do realise I left NATO, but my character is made up and France itself has a history of disinvolving itself with NATO.
So. Many. Repercussions. From. Leaving. The. EU. Aaaaaahh.
That being said, it’s roleplay and anything can happen.
