CHANCELLOR EMPHASIZES SEEKING PEACE AND HARMONY

(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Chancellor’s Office, September 27, 5712:  The Monsoon asked Chancellor Ivrahim al-Marwan if his party, Israi Values, considered itself an enemy of the Dufazi, the party supporting Abadi cleric Moqtada al-Dufaz, and he responded:
 

Not an enemy.  Currently we are two of the factions or parties in a fragile governing coalition.  There are two Abadi parties – the Dufazi and the Forgotten Abadi Majatrans.  The latter has a very similar program to ours; protect freedom of religion so that we can practice our Ahmadi religion and live in peace with our neighbors foreign and domestic.
 
The Dufazi want more control of the lives of others.  We are not unaware Jumhuriat al-Badara was invaded  by angry foreign Israi , and it took several nations helping us out to end that invasion.  So we are not holding out the proposition that Israi are necessarily better or more peaceful than Abadi.
 
So the Dufazi are not an enemy but are a very different party from Israi Values.  In all honesty the coalition can weather our differences better than the differences of the Metzists of Majatra (MM) and the Working Institutional Group (WIG). 
 
Be that as it may, we are trying to hold together a governing coalition and feel like we may.

 
Asked by the Monsoon if he felt the Majatra - Artania Treaty Organization (MATO) put Jumhuriat al-Badara on a collision course with some other  nations, the Chancellor repolied:
 

Obviously it could or you would not be asking. But historically, we have generally had  a mutual defense arrangement with many of our neighbors that has helped to protect us and allow us to prosper. That is where we think we are.
