Zōilos Angietis dead at 91, Nen-Snēou to dissolve
3 January 5422
Former Commander-in-Chief of Cobura Zōilos Angietis has died at the age of 91, reportedly of lung cancer. The news comes shortly before Cobura is expected to head to the polls in a multi-party election. Angietis was a controversial figure, who had been investigated for war crimes during his leadership of Nen-Snēou's armed wing in the Coburan Civil War. An ardent Irkawan nationalist, his death is sure to sharply divide public opinion in the country.
The leadership of Nen-Snēou subsequently announced its decision to dissolve. The party has already had issues with internal discontent, and party members were absent from the Federal Congress for a period of months due to disputes between factions as Angietis' health failed. The decision to disband the party can be interpreted as a way for Angietis' closest supporters to avoid the political spotlight in anticipation of a difficult legal period, as the former Commander-in-Chief's position under the post-civil-war peace treaty allowed him to protect some of his followers from criminal prosecution. Nen-Snēou will remain on the ballot, as the campaign has already begun, but is unlikely to attract many votes.
