Touzen Government announces death of Lord Protector Kaneko
STN Siyang
The Touzen government has announced the death of Lord Protector Kaneko Haru in hospital. Kaneko, who had been hospitalized and in a stable coma since the 1st of December 1952 Taketoriite bombing of the All Citizens Congress building with over a hundred casualties, passed away shortly after midnight on Sunday. He is survived by his wife.
The National Emergency Council, the de facto ruling body of the Constitutional State, released a short statement in which it expressed its "deep sadness about the death of a Touzen patriot."
"The death of the Lord Protector painfully reminds us of the struggle of brother against brother that has taken far too many lives in the last two years. The entire political life of Kaneko Haru was devoted to advancing the cause of freedom and championing the interests of the Citizenry of the Constitutional State. His death at the hands of the Taketoriite counter-revolutionaries and enemies of democracy is tragic and a dreadful reminder of the lack of human dignity and heinous nature of the Taketoriite reaction. The Lord Protector has now offered himself as a sacrifice on the altar of the revolutionary nation, following thousands of sons and daughters of the Revolution that have already given their lives in the defense of everything this country stands for. In their name we must conquer and advance our flag into the last bastions of rebellion, wherever insurgency may raise its ugly head to challenge our resolve. With the men now carrying forth the banner of the Constitutional States march the hopes of millions both within Touzen and abroad whose hearts burn with the righteous fire for justice. The spirit of the Lord Protector now will walk amongst their ranks to guide them to victory."
Even though only recaptured by government forces last December, the Constitutional State's government has announced it would seek to provide for a burial with full honors in the war-torn capital. The flag of the Constitutional State which has been flying over the ruins of the All Citizens' Congress since its capture by government forces will be lowered to half-mast. Touzen embassies abroad have been ordered to follow suit. It had not been immediately made clear whether the National Emergency Council would seek to convene the remnants of the Members of Congress to choose a new Lord Protector. Many areas of the Constitutional State are currently without official representation due to the death or the defection of their representatives.
Following the publication of the death of the Touzen head of government, hundreds of citizens have laid down wreaths and flowers in front of the Congress building and the remains of the Ivernian embassy, which has become synonymous with the Nokanawa Massacre that saw the deaths of hundreds of foreign officials amidst fighting between rebel and government forces. Both sides blame the killings on the other.
