Terrorists Forced Into Negotiations With The Republic
3rd April 4224
Following almost a decade of violence across the Republic of Suyu Llaqta, the legitimate government established under the stewardship of Chairman of the State Affairs Commission Sumailli Paucar has forced the Republican Liberation League, who have occupied the northern regions of the country, into beginning to negotiate a surrender. Since they began their insurrection in the late 4210s, the RLL have been steadily pushed back by the armed forces. Coordinated by the War and International Relations Commissioner and aided by the Kazulian Armed Forces, the terrorists have now been given no choice but to discuss a political solution to the crisis.
Chairman Paucar announces that the Republican Liberation League have agreed to negotiate
At a conference in neighbouring Istapali, Chairman Paucar will meet with the leadership of the communist rebels as well as a number of foreign governments. Representatives of the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation, the Istalian Republic and the Kingdom of Kazulia will all be in attendance as the two sides attempt to return the Republic to peace. Although the precise extent of the RLL's demands is not yet known, it is expected they will request a special level of autonomy for the regions which they control in addition to a lifting of the ban on communist political parties. Paucar has suggested that he would be steadfast in his commitment to opposing extremism and not legitimise the views of the terrorists.
While the confirmation that the conference would go ahead was significant, it is not entirely unexpected. Since the government secured the support of foreign allies, they have been on the front foot. Over the past few months, conflict has been limited and sporadic with both sides almost ceasing in their attempts to progress beyond their current frontiers. Additionally, the government has been pro-active in trying to reach across the divide by commuting the sentence of former President Coatl Lulling, convicted of treason. Furthermore, in the upcoming elections for the Legislative Council, the State Affairs Commission announced that ballot papers would still be sent to rebel-held areas. The LPBC team hope that we will see peace in our time very soon.
