April 5619

The news coming from the Sarrentine Peninsula, both from government sources and from independent and international ones, now confirm the situation of the Istalian War of Liberation, as it has been officially defined for several months now: the fall of the Emirate is now imminent and soon the Imperial State of Istalia will be able to triumphantly announce the victory.

The Istalian Armed Forces are strangling the last remains of Quanzar and are pushing simultaneously toward all the last bastions of the Emirate, the cities of Padura, Burìa and Verunnìa. The latter, almost totally surrounded, should fall in few weeks according to the forecast of the high ransk of the Armed Forces, and it is expected that the local military and civilian authorities will surrender, although it is unpredictable the behavior of the almost 6.000 foreigner foundamentalist militianmen in the city which, according to the news from the Resistance informant into the city, are clashing with the Quanzarian authorities and are perpetrating brutality against the istalian civilians, literally held hostage Under the menace of the weapons for fear of insurgency.

The last two years of conflict have certainly been the most intense from the point of view of the clashes on the field and despite several initial debacles, eventually the resistance of the forces of Quanzar have given in to the numerical superiority but above all to the determination of the Istalian forces in liberating their motherland, unlike the vast majority of the Ahmadi militiamen, mostly coming from foreign countries but who nevertheless, driven by fanaticism, have resorted to suicidal tactics that have caused many losses and to reprisals against the Istalian civilian population.

Unfortunately, the last year has also seen the greatest losses of the entire conflict, with the total number of casualties reaching 442,366 for the Armed Forces, almost 47,000 for the members of the Resistance, which during the war absorbed all the partisans and rebels who did not want to join the official Armed Forces and focused on the coordination beyond enemy lines of the various cells and groups, and therefore the losses among civilians, which has now exceeded the heartbreaking figure of 1 million deaths, which are therefore added to the losses reported during the Istalo-Pontesi-Kafuri war and under the occupation, over 1 milion and 200 thousand casualties among the military and 2 million and 900 thousand civilians.

Throughout the south of the Peninsula and on the Island of Alaria, millions of displaced Istalians have been welcomed into reception centers organized thanks to the help and international support gained by the Government, an unexpected result for a country that had seen most of the countries in the world condemn Nevio Russo's war and cooperate in various ways with Pontesi and Kafuri to defeat the Socialist Republic.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations, Army's Corps General Valerio Salgari, expressed in front of the cameras the Government's deep satisfaction for this result and underlined the country's firm intention to rebuild its network of international relations:

Mending and re-establishing our international relations after the damage caused by the Socialist Republic was an imperative that the Government set itself and it is the firm intention of the new Istalian state to continue to establish new, peaceful and prolific relations.

Despite the infamy that the regime of Nevio Russo has thrown on the country, we have received a more than positive and favorable response for an Istalia finally reunified, stable, democratic and ready to rebuild, leaving behind the hieratic and failed policies of the communist regime that have caused so much suffering and victims.

On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor and the Government of the Imperial State of Istalia, I would like to thank the countries that are supporting our just and sacred cause, assuring them that they have found a friendly, loyal nation that will always remember the support granted.
Furthermore, His Majesty the Emperor and the Government also wish to express their deep gratitude to all those in the world who, as private citizens, as associations, industrial and financial groups, have decided to support the efforts of the Istalians to liberate the country and to help the victims that these very long decades of conflict have caused.
