Angolans Bomb Kongo! Crisis in Africa!
3 July 1957

Calamity engulfs much of the African continent today as reports now flood in across the world of the currently erupting conflict between Hauserist Angola and Kongo. Following the spillover of tensions after the dubiously investigated Lucapa bombing, sources on the ground confirmed that Kongolese troops were openly and deliberately attacked by Angolan artillery and infantry completely unprovoked! With footage now emerging of daring Kongolese Air Force fighters strafing advancing enemy lines, international onlookers now seem to accept the dismal reality that what began as an avertable border skirmish has resulted in all-out war between the two nations.

This unfolding "aggressive invasion," as described by Hallita Kekkonen, has already been met with immediate Finnish diplomatic and military reaction. When asked by reporters for the specifics of a Finnish response, Kekkonen elaborated on the activation of all White Air Force detachments stationed in Africa. Furthermore, the Hallita, supplementing a statement made by Kongolese Free State President Johannes Graff hours after initial reports, affirmed boldly that with but a month until the Middle-Globe Compact's second year anniversary, "the MGC's integrity would be defended to the last breath of all its members." Mustering much of the strength of Finland's abroad forces, the government has committed fully without declaring war to stand with its allies in this new struggle. This same move would seem to garner an indifferent response by the Gravonist Unity Party's hardliners.

More concerningly, these developments come mere months after the official confirmation by the Atomic Oversight Registry that the maniacal Volder regime is in possession of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. With news outlets in Kongo expressing great fear for the possibility of these weapons' uses on the battlefield, or worse, against civilian targets, the international communities efforts to dismantle the regime's stockpile have only been emboldened in the mission to prevent such brutality.

Some of these same concerns, however, are feared to have already been realized. Amidst the flow of reports from the new frontlines are images and reels of Angolan soldiers donning gas masks, marching through ominously abandoned former Kongolese positions. More grizzly images would emerge following a brief Angolan retreat from some of these same areas, where reporters captured in full undeniable proof of the Angolan army's employment of chemical weapons that have been banned by the Helsinki Conventions. More worryingly, concurrent reports have come in from Gabon where a surprise Angolan attack has also witnessed the use of nerve gas by these aggressing forces.

With strategic targeting of Angolan military infrastructure already underway, Finland now seeks to move for a wider international response from the helm of the international coalition formed to oppose Abram Volder's despicable rule. Furthermore, Hallita Kekkonen is rumored to be moving to seek for the Finnish delegation to the Congress of Nations to call for a new investigation into Angola's clear committing of crimes against humanity and violating of the Helsinki Conventions.
