Jophet Diarra winced as the bright light of the afternoon sun assailed his jet-lagged eyes. He stepped out of the heavy UAZ, surveying the Base that had been so quickly assembled in the Ash Sharqi Highlands. Arid dust coated everything, and the smell of petrol mixed with machine oil assailed...
Umbazi has long remained a substantially underdeveloped country, however, with the restoration of income from Taxes on the Private Ownership of Aurum Umbazi Inc, and an increase of interest in Domestic Infrastructure to encourage such investment, we have been authorised by the Estates General...
CRISIS RESOLVED AS ASCALON APOLOGISES FOR ATTACKS!
New fence being constructed
After intense and suprisingly hasty negiotiations, it has been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that we have succeeded in making the Arrogant Ascaloni bow to their mistakes, and an official public...
The Umbazi Delegation was fuming to see that the young, loud Wing-Singers had so arrogantly presumed the right to speak first at the Meeting. Having been friends with the Ketswayoni for decades, the Umbazi felt that it was their right to have pre-eminence at this table. The Umbazi Ambassador...
We extend our support to our brothers in the BDM, and wish them good fortune in overcoming a nakedly Imperialist and racialist political system, as we in Umbazi once had to, 40 years ago. We hope that the BDM will contact us if they feel they need any additional assistance.
-Ministry of...
We would like to extend our commitments to Ketswayo and offer a more solid agreement of Friendship, Support and Free Trade. We highly value Ketswayo's friendship and hope they will not feel intimidated by foreign powers eager to criticise their distinctive and Nethian style of governance and...
Kefane smiled. "I am happy to fulfill that purpose. I can have my government bring me all I need and begin serving as Ambassador for my country full-time by...Saturday." He smiled mischievously. "Naturally we will expect a suitable building prepared for us all."
The fat man smiled and laughed. "Excellent, brother. It begins." The Fat man clapped, and the Convoy roared into life, speeding across the border with a spray of dust, heading deep into the country, baring its wares and gifts to as yet unknown markets, leaving Lucas alone with the Fat man and...
Kefane could tell this Basil was a shrewder operator than the Prime Minister. He reminded himself that the Theocracy in this country was an arrogant, power-hungry clique, and that it was small wonder that the secular government was so ineffectual and easy for him to run rings around in normal...

Kefane allowed himself a moment to gather his thoughts, and took a long sip from a water bottle. It was a hot day, it had been a long trip, and he felt exhaustion beginning to creep into his muscles. Nonetheless, he was determined to...
The fat man simply laughed. "Bold, eh? Perhaps you are already familiar with our wares, no?" The fat man sniffed theatrically. "If you must call me something, call me Boss." the Fat man smiled wolfishly. "And dese- are my crew."
Some men slipped past Voek, and entered his border hut...
The cars arrived at the Navarra tower shortly before the clocks struck four in the afternoon. They were dusty from the long ride from the Border, and the team they disgorged looked somewhat dishevelled and sweaty. However, they adjusted their ties and suits, retrieved their suitcases, and...
AMBASSADORS MEET IN ASHKALON, WILL ATROCITY BE ANSWERED?
Umbazi Ambassador to Ascalon
Despite the mounting international pressure, Ascalon's arrogance has forced Umbazi to meet for the negiotiaitons in their Capital, rather than on Neutral ground. Autopsies have begun on the returned bodies...
The trucks stopped, their engines still running, their heavy headlamps piercing the thick darkness of the Himyari Night. Officer Voek watched in trepidation as the trucks began disgorging large numbers of black figures, in baggy clothing and some in robes. Many carried machetes or AK-47s. Voek...
OOC: Feel free to start the thread anytime if you like.

The Ambassadors will arrive at the border by tomorrow morning. They will be ready to begin negiotiations when you bring them to Ashkalon. 5 Bodyguards will be provided from the elite Presidential Guard. We hope the Ascaloni will...
We had hoped that Ascalon would agree to meet on Neutral Ground in Frescania, and allow us to resolve more long-standing issues. However, we will accept the returned bodies, and we will dispatch emissaries to Ashkalon. We do this to demonstrate to the International Community that we are in good...
After considering carefully the will of the People and the will of the Nations of Himyar, we have decided to accept aid from Oikawa and Talemantros, and also to enter into mediation with Frescania, in order to resolve this dispute peaceably with Ascalon. We ask that Ascalon also agree to...
We are saddened at the response of fellow Himyari nation Fulanistan. We ask that they reconsider their position, considering the Teenagers were neither tried or punished under Ascaloni or Umbazi Law, but instead shot whilst allegedly trying to attack people in Prison. We have seen absolutely no...
BORDERS CLOSED IN FACE OF ASCALONI INSULTS!
New Border Patrols are inspected
The Deadline set by the Umbazi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has passed. Having allowed the death of 3 Umbazi teenagers in their captivity, their refusal to extradite, investigate or provide reparations for the...
