I am so grateful to his Majesty King Ratna for giving me the opportunity to represent my nation once more. I will do my best to make you all proud. I also have some news that might not be to the liking of you. They are that after this FOMAT in Selucia is over, I will no longer go to the competition. I have decided to focus more on my family and, although I will continue to perform here in Utembo, preparing a piece for FOMAT is incredibly time-consuming, and generates massive amounts of stress. This is why I am leaving.
Dear citizens, I come to you here today to answer the accusations made by the government of Liore, and more specifically Minister Obama. They bring an extremely pessimistic rhetoric, where they speak of a "threat to peace in our hemisphere" and of a "direct military threat by Yingdala". They speak of letting an empire into Dovani and say that it is hypocritical of us to do this. Of us? Do I need to remind you of how just 15 years ago they had military exercises with Deltaria, a nation that just 5 years later launched a full-on attack on Vascania and Rapa Pile? We find it baffling that Liore accuses us of letting western imperialists in when they were the ones who opened the door to them.
They speak of how we now oppose Pan-Dovanism, which we don't- Ideally, we would not need Yingdala's aid, but the reality is that Utembo is an economy that is struggling. We can't afford the luxuries of idealism Liore has. We have an unemployment rate of over 25%. 39% of our population does not have access to clean water. Over 40% have not finished high school. We would love to have Liore's idealism, but our current condition does not allow. They are also speaking of this like we are letting Yingdala in forever, which we are not. There are a clear beginning and end to this relationship.
We hope that they see that our relationship with Yingdala does not mean that we oppose them or Pan-Dovanism. We are simply doing what is needed. We also hope that their privileged and idealistic view doesn't mean that our relationship with them is over. We hope that they can expand their views to see a country that struggles and accepted the help of someone who reached out.
Thank you.
Dear citizens, I have come before you today to explain why Mr Tsemo was arrested earlier today. Over the past few months we have been gathering information on him, and we discovered that he accepted large amounts of money from criminals in the Ring Po mountains. As you all well know, the Ring Po mountains are filled by delinquents who act as warlords in the region. It appears as if Mr Tsemo was accepting money from these groups to stall the construction of the North-South Pipeline. We are still looking into specifics and seeing who else was related, but we are certain Mr Tsemo is guilty.
