Chinasa: After the destruction of a significant chunk of the North Dovanian invasion force, heavy airstrikes on North Dovani itself and even civilian casualties pressure on the Ozioma government had been mounting. After the death of two workers from the Ministry of Defense protestors took to the streets to demand an end of the war, a protest attended by over 140.000 people. Within the government itself a struggle was emerging between moderate FPP members and hawkish FPP and UftR members, resulting in open fighting in the media between the different government ministers. This combined with grim news from the front, where at least 9.000 have died, been wounded or missing in a relatively short period and the situation in the country became flamable. Trying to prevent bloodshed and preserve the country President Onyekachukwu has, in a unprecedented move, dissolved the House of Representatives and dismissed the Ozioma government. Instead of appointing a new Premier the President has used one of his most controversial reserve powers, opting to appoint a "war cabinet" and temporarily postpone new elections. The new cabinet will consist of nearly all anti-war politicians from the opposition, with the president mentioning in his declaration that these actions have been taken with a clear goal in mind, ending the war in the Bevan Valley and "avoiding further North Dovanian blood be shed."
It seems that, until the situation has cleared, operations in the Bevan Valley continue. With some local and extremist commanders already announcing to continue the war until "direct orders are received to halt operations." The President has in a TV adress promised the people peace, calling on protestors to return home. Many have not abided by the request, with one protestors noting "we go home, they do as they please. We stay till our demand of peace has been met."
