Collapse of the JuntaAugust 21 5453 (Backdated)The people of Kirlawa have been freed. Following the
death of Sweeney, the final junta leader Rory Ó hÉideáin has decided to flee the nation along with his entourage of SNF officials, proving that they have seen the writing on the wall. The Junta has begun to crumble as a result of the power vacuum with many middle to higher ranking officers breaking into to open combat with each other as they vie for control of the Junta's remaining forces. This has done no good to keep troops in line however, with massive amounts of troops deserting for fear of repercussions for their actions, particularly amongst the conscripts and the more experienced veterans. Several junior officers have surrendered to oncoming forces with hopes of leniency in their sentences. As a result of the chaos insurgent cells have begun rising up and attacking the remaining Junta forces in order to expedite their collapse.
Killian Treacy, Commander of the insurgents, has called all Kilani to resist the junta in it's waning days, stating that "the junta is a dying creature on it's last breath. Still held together solely by our fear of it, we must resist and bite this beast and show it that we the people of Kirlawa are the ones who are truly the nation, and that the nation is us.". We asked Mr. Treacy for and interview, but he declined on the basis of 'being somewhat up to my neck right now'. Following all this good news, the Kirlawan Times has decide to come out of hiding to bring people the truth once again in a free and prosperous republic that awaits around the corner. All we need is our neighbours to help us build it.
