SOUTHERN DOVANI TIMES
CEASEFIRE SIGNED - UTEMBO TO BE PARTITIONED

The 3-year long Utemban War was effectively concluded today, July 27 5317, with no definite victor. The Metzist-Leonidist 'Popular Front' government in the north and the new Daenist theocratic 'Serene Phodang of Utembo' in the south have finally ceased hostilities and agreed to de facto allow the other party to govern their respective side of the demarcation line. Readers can see the partition plan in the image below:



Readers will recall that hostilities first broke out on February 10th, 5314, following the Ljongs Massacre. When the former State of Utembo was dissolved and transformed into the Serene Phodang of Utembo through the controversial and contested election of radical Daenist nationalist, Rangjung Gyatso, many autonomous Cantons of Utembo disapproved. Dissenting cantons declared their allegiance to the Communist Party of Utembo's (CPU) broader 'Popular Front', and effectively captured the northern city of Karosawa. To mitigate internal collapse, Gyatso agreed along with the chairman of the CPU, Ngawang Wangyal, to seek peaceful solutions in the "Left-Right Conference for National Unity".

However, Ljongs, a pro-communist city in the Phodang-controlled south, was fired on in the midst of negotiations on February 10th, 5314. The city did not make any open declarations against the Phodang and had sent delegates to the national Left-Right Conference in an act of peace and neutrality. Phodang Daenist forces, loyal to and under direct orders from Rangjung Gyatso, quickly moved into Ljongs unprovoked and began to indiscriminately maim, harass, rape, and murder innocent civilians. When Phodang forces were finished with the massacre, an estimated 1,538 were dead; 756 of those found being women and children. The Popular Front promptly pulled out of negotiations and declared a "People's War" on the Phodang's capital of Bajoum.

From there hostilities escalated; it is estimated that as of now 10% of the entire Utemban population has perished from bombing and guerilla campaigns. 90% of infrastructure in the north and 65% of infrastructure in the sotuh has been destroyed. Now that peace has at last been made, both Utembos will, from this point on, have a tragic and consuming reconstruction campaign ahead of them.

Comrades of the Communist Party of Utembo, chaired and presided over by comrade General Secretary Ngawang Wangyal, have officially concluded the 5317 extraordinary session of the All-Utemban Popular Front Consultative Democratic Congress with the adoption of a new constitution for the Proletarian state under construction in Utembo. Today, November 7th, 5317, marks the official inception of the Utemban Democratic Republic, a new order for the workers that have arisen in the nation. To celebrate, the capital of Karosawa has been formally renamed Metz-Leonid in honor of the two men that contributed to the immortal science upon which all true socialist republics are being built anew.

On the agenda, it was officially declared that the Utemban Democratic Republic strives for immediate reunification of the south, still under the shackles of feudal reactionism, through spontaneous mass action and revolution. The Democratic Republic's main initiatives per the newly adopted constitution are to:

I. Further the international realization of world communism through the mass organization of the Utemban proletarian democracy
II. Ensure the reconstruction of the Utemban state and society as to benefit wholly the proletarian and little peasant masses
III. Carry out the proletarian revolution all across Utembo, including the liberation of the still-occupied south
IV. Smash the old, reactionary state machinery through mass education and liberation
V. Achieve a new, prosperous socialist lifestyle for all Utembans free of want and scarcity

All political parties participating separately in the Popular Front were unanimously merged into and made subordinate to the Communist Party, the new vanguard of the Utemban section of the world revolution. 'The Internationale' was officially adopted as the state anthem. The red Yung Drung flag was officially adopted as the state flag, with the Yung Drung also affixed to the new state emblem.

Long live the Utemban Democratic Republic! Long live the Communist Party of Utembo! Long live the fraternal brotherhood of the workers of the world! Long live the immortal science of Metzism-Leonidism! Long live the international proletarian revolution!

Foreigners to be expelled from Serene Phodang

The Government of the Serene Phodang has officially declared the expulsion of all non-citizen foreigners from the borders of the Serene Phodang within a 3-month period. Citizens of proven Lourennais descent have also been stripped of their citizenship and will be treated the same. Failure to comply with Phodang measures is punishable by up to one year's imprisonment and hard labor, followed by deportation to the foreigner's country of nationality.

In addition, Xsampan has been made the sole legal language to speak in the Phodang. Citizens found speaking any languages other than Xsampan, including but not limited to Canrillaise, Luthorian, or Yingdalan, risk also being imprisoned for potential harboring of foreign threats. The Serene Phodang advises all citizens to continue to follow the glorious traditions of our honored Xsampan ancestors by only practicing Daenism, speaking Xsampan, and living an earnest and just life as a patriotic citizen of a great country.

The esteemed Ribo Lama, his holiness Rangjung Gyatso, said that the measure was to strengthen the national integrity and resolve of the Utemban people against foreign threats. His holiness made the following comments:

Our nation is under constant attack by foreign threats who desire to destroy the great Xsampan culture and tradition. As a precursor, we have declared our full intention to expel all foreigners from our nation's borders as a most necessary precaution to ensure the future survival of our country. The integrity and survival of the Utemban nation was at risk, and the government knows and acts aware that the only option for sustenance is the complete expulsion of those who would destroy our culture.

Many have spoken out against the supposed "disenfranchisement" of Lourennais colonizers that have remained in Utembo. I must protest highly that any disenfranchisement could have ever occured, for it implies that there was ever a legitimate "franchise" to begin with. The Lourennais plundered, stole, and destroyed countless priceless treasures of the great Xsampan civilization. They divided the country, spilled it's blood in their imperial conquests, and left nothing but destruction in their wake. We are thus practicing the foremost type of justice when we expel the bloodsucking vermin from our nation's borders, ensuring the continued existence and purity of Utembo.

May Bidar bless our Serene Phodang now and forever.

The Serene Phodang clarified that the restrictions do not apply to foreign diplomats currently residing in the nation.

Democratic Republic Announces Amnesty for Utembans of Lourennais Descent, Condemns Reactionaries in Bajoum
February 11, 5318

The Party officially condemned the fascist and barbaric conduct of the reactionary occupiers in Bajoum, who yesterday revealed that they would expel all foreign residents, and additionally stripped Utembans of Lourennais descent of their citizenship. The Democratic Republic has, in response, announced amnesty and citizenship for all foreigners and Utembans of Lourennais descent that are fleeing from the southern regime. For those who this concerns, the Democratic Republic promises complete and prompt legal integration, which may be pursued at the nearest local office of the worker's council.

Comrade General Secretary Ngawang Wangyal released the following statement.

My heart grieves for all comrade foreign residents and comrade Utembans of Lourennais descent, who have been lied to, deceived, and cheated by the deplorable reactionary Daenist cabal oppressing the southern half of our nation. We hear your pleas for liberation, and in response welcome you with open arms into the new proletarian brotherhood of man under construction in the Democratic Republic.

The resolute justice of the Democratic Republic's response to this reactionary barbarism demonstrates the clear infallibility and superiority of the immortal science of Metzism-Leonidism, which fails to see national quarrels and instead righteously advances the international proletarian line of liberation. Glory to those who struggle against the reactionary occupier regime in Bajoum, glory to the party!

People's Utembo to Adopt Canrillaise as Co-Official Language
January 21, 5320

The Central Committee of the glorious Communist Communist Party of Utembo has unanimously approved and called into effect new legislation that would officially adopt Canrillaise as a co-official language of the Democratic Republic alongside Xsampan. Citing the need to unite with proletarians around the world and catch up to the west, as well as to honor the recent significant influx of Lourennais-Utembans fleeing the occupying southern regime, the party has deemed it beneficial to create a prosperous bilingual society that equally honors Xsampan and Canrillaise. The party reminds loyal citizens that their duty lies towards the guidance of the immortal science of Metzism-Leonidism, and that the revolutionary forces for the construction of communism in Utembo know no ethnic allegiance but towards all humanity.

Outside observers have noted that the promotion of Canrillaise in Democratic Utembo will likely lead to an increase in foreign engagement and presence on the international stage. The party's official stance, however, remains ambivalent towards such apparent aims.

'Women Hold Up Half the Sky!' - Utembo Celebrates International Women's Day
March 8, 5322

Under the theme 'Let us Uphold the Righteous and Revolutionary Proletarian Cause of Gender Equality and Female Liberation Against the Reactionary Line of Patriarchal Oppression', the Communist Party of Utembo officially commemorated International Women's Day on March 8 through public festivities and statements. Remembering the righteous and honorable Yingdalan Metzist-Leonidist hero Ruan Zhi's wise words, 'Women Hold up Half the Sky', the Supreme Council of the UDR planned to achieve at least 50% female representation by the year 5350. Current composition reveals only 41% female representation on the nation's supreme legislature, but this is still substantially better than many other Dovanian nations.

The Democratic Republic is proud of the advances it has sought to achieve in women's liberation, which have rapidly improved since the overthrow of both semi-feudalism and capitalism. Before the founding of the Democratic Republic, in certain areas of Utembo women were not allowed to vote, own property, or make legal cases. Since the bringing of proletarian liberation, women have achieved complete legal equality with men, receive equal state wages, and are eligible for paid government-sponsored maternal leave and other work benefits.

We wish to educate and all peoples of the world in a dynamic learning environment for the bettering of both the sciences and our society. This new program will work to ensure that such aims are further met". MLSU is known for having unorthodox and unique, detailed outlooks on such topics and courses as the History of Dovanian Colonialism, Daenist Ethics, Orthodox Metzism-Leonidism, and Chhaang (Xsampan wine)-Tasting. The MLSU Applied Physics Program has also been praised by western academics as one of the best and most affordable in the region. As the government continues to lead the enthusiastic and universal effort of the construction of communism in free Utembo, quality education is seen as paramount for the development and wellbeing of the Democratic Republic.

57-Million Strong Xsampan Nation Mourns His Holiness Rangjung Gyatso, 5th Ribo Lama
June 12. 5331. (MON)

THE FIFTY-SEVEN MILLION STRONG Serene Phodang mourns the loss of our dear and beloved Ribo Lama, Rangjung Gyatso, who passed away today in the Gser Palace in Bajoum, at the age of 73. The late 5th Ribo Lama was instrumental in the construction of the Serene Phodang, having mobilized the righteous against the corrupt atheistic bureaucracy of the old State of Utembo, as well as the red hordes of the illegitimate north. He kept our citizenry safe from foreign aggression, mockery, slander, and imperialism. But most importantly of all; his message and mission, for the establishment of a free and ethical state across all of Utembo, shall endure forevermore. We will proudly fly high the Gangs Seng Ge banner and march as one, invigorated by His Holiness' instruction, to carry on the mission of national reunification and reconstruction with our starving and oppressed brothers in the north. The 5th Ribo Lama shall be dearly missed, but we take strength and resolve in the preservation of his beautiful legacy.
