Kal Sabo, a member of the Revolutionary Action Committee of Kashtan's ruling Democratic Party, one of the party's most important organs, seems to have disappeared from Kashtanese records, according to the Eiffeland-based NGO Kashtan Civil Action's Propontis office.
According to KCA, new editions of history and political textbooks as well as recreational and other literature have had mentions of Sabo removed in newer print runs and Kashtanese censors have been busy removing any pictures of the former minister from official records in what appears to be a fall from grace for the former member of the Kashtanese elite.
Kal Sabo, who had been a member of the Revolutionary Action Committee of the DP for at least the last 12 years and who has been reported to have served in several ministerial functions, including as Minister of Autarky, Minister for Tribal Relations and Ethnic Peace and most recently Minister of Revolutionary Propaganda, in the last position from 2012-2016, had been one of the few public faces of the Kashtanese regime that had been known to the outside world aside from the enigmatic President, and he prominently was one of the few representatives of the Kashtanese government that was known to attend international functions abroad in countries on good terms with Shigö. Diplomatic circles described him as friendly, if tight-lipped.
What might have sparked this recent purge remains unknown, but analysts of the Basin's political landscape suggest that Sabo's damnatio memoriae might point towards an internal leadership struggle within the regime, the details of which are difficult to assess from an outside perspective. KCA said that it was unclear whether Sabo was still alive or what his current status was, but that the public suppression of the former minister's name and image was hardly a good sign in the context of Shigö's past track record.
The Kashtanese embassy in Propontis had removed Sabo from a leaflet available to visitors in the lobby as of Thursday morning.
