The Republic of Union of Zuid Afrika Bite Size History: The Narrow escape from 'Apartheid' A policy known as 'Apartheid' (from the Afrikaans word for 'separate') was popular amongst the Boer specifically in the 1940's and 50's and championed by the largely Boer 'National Party'. Under this policy there was to be a total and complete separation between Europeans and African populations. Not just schools and neighbourhoods, the proposal was to go far beyond this and include beaches, bars, restaurants and even public toilets. Employment opportunities, housing and education were all to be served in two separate parallel systems. When questioned on detail proponents included such racist ideas of a 'pencil test' whereby a pencil would be inserted into the hair to see if it would fall out when the head was shaken, and tests of the jaw and buttocks. Further tests were proposed to determine various sub-racial groups of 'coloureds' as, for example, Indians were generally considered racially 'superior' to Africans. A narrow escape Instead of outright Apartheid, S Africa, S Rhodesia and SW Africa (Namibia), enacted a range of policies and more subtle laws that limited the economic and political power of black Africans' including limiting suffrage, but without formal social and economic separation. Racist policies and causes of the civil war This was the spark for the civil war of the 1960s which saw similar uprisings in Namibia, and a de-facto independence declaration of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. In the next bite-size we will consider the civil war and the emergence of 'Unitism' as an ideology. More history as www.gov.za/history |

The Seventh Federative Republic of Flourishing Southlands
Desde 1891 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The greens, comprised of the Partido Verde (PV) and Rede Sustentabilidade (REDE), have announced the formation of a party federation ('federação partidária'), allowing them to temporarily unite and campaign as one entity for a period of 4 years. Party leaders have reportedly been negotiating for months to bring the federation, named 'Verde', into existence. "The federation will not eclipse the individual interests of our party," said a REDE leader. "We reserve the right to break the federation apart should it neglect our needs and values. The same is true, of course, for our friends in PV." Verde's manifesto was released earlier this week, setting out its legislative priorities for its time in the People's Congress. One of its proposals is to convert Brazil into a nuclear-free zone. This would be done by enforcing a moratorium on all uranium and plutonium mining and processing activity within Brazil, turning away nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels from Brazilian territory, preventing the placement of nuclear weapons on Brazilian soil, and forbidding the armed forces from ever researching nuclear weapons. This would also include the decommissioning of the Angra-I nuclear reactor, as well as the cancellation of the Angra-IV, Natal-I, and Parnamirim-I reactor construction projects. Unused funds would be diverted to help develop renewables infrastructure, such as solar, tidal, or wind power plants. Another key priority is to implement green tax shift by taxing polluting activities while cutting income taxes. The road use tax, currently levied at $120 reals per vehicle per year, would be bumped up to $300 reals for each vehicle which emits carbon dioxide, and to $200 reals for hybrid cars with an internal combustion engine. Outbound flights to international destinations, or domestic flights with a total flight time of over 4 hours, would be subject to a levy of $30 and $15 reals respectively. The tax would be reflected in ticket pricing and operate as a poll tax. The federation additionally plans to extend the country's pre-existing cap-and-trade carbon market to agricultural producers as well, who are responsible for almost a quarter of carbon emissions across the country and were formerly excluded due to lobbying.1 The least controversial of Verde's policies is its plan to crack down on illegal mining in the Amazon2, which has been used by organized criminal units to finance their operations, and routinely causes friction between artisanal miners and local indigenous groups. 1 https://www.ft.com/content/0a7b017a-c54e-48e8-8c86-0654ed63979b |

The United Kingdom of The United British Kingdom 72 hours since the attack in New Delhi Princess Alexandria of the United Kingdom lay in a hospital bed in London, her usually serene face contorted in pain. Tubes and wires snaked around her, tethering her to machines that monitored her every breath. Prince Henry stood beside her, his heart heavy with worry as he watched his beloved wife's condition worsen by the hour. It had been 72 hours since the flour bomb attack during the protest in New Delhi. Initially, Princess Alexandria had seemed fine, albeit shaken. But as time passed, she began to experience complications. What was initially thought to be a minor allergic reaction had escalated into a full-blown medical emergency. Despite the best efforts of the medical staff, Princess Alexandria's condition continued to deteriorate. The once bustling hospital room now felt suffocatingly silent, the weight of impending loss hanging heavy in the air. Prince Henry held onto hope with all his might, but each passing moment seemed to chip away at his resolve. As the hours stretched into days, Princess Alexandria's strength waned, her once vibrant spirit dimming with each labored breath. Prince Henry remained steadfast by her side, his presence a silent beacon of love and support amidst the encroaching darkness. The medical team worked tirelessly to stabilize Princess Alexandria, but their efforts seemed futile in the face of the relentless onslaught of complications. Prince Henry's anguish deepened with each setback, his heart breaking as he watched his beloved wife slip further away from him. In the quiet moments between bouts of agony, Prince Henry whispered words of love and encouragement to Princess Alexandria, willing her to fight, to cling to life with all her might. But even his unwavering devotion couldn't stave off the inevitable. As one more day passed, Princess Alexandria's condition remained critical. Though she fought valiantly, her body weakened by the toll of her illness. Prince Henry remained by her side, his love unwavering, but in his heart, he knew that their time together was running out. In the end, Princess Alexandria's journey was fraught with pain and uncertainty. Though she remained unwell and hospitalized, her spirit remained unbroken. And as she fought bravely against the odds, Prince Henry stood by her side, his love unwavering in the face of adversity, determined to cherish every moment they had together, no matter how fleeting. |

The Sovereign Union of Indhiya Government of India PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release __________________________________________________________ Official Statement Regarding the Incident Involving Princess Alexandria
On the tour of Lutyen's Delhi (a part of New Delhi) during her visit to India, Princess Alexandria was targeted by a protestor who threw a flour bomb at her. The incident occurred when she was coming back from paying her respects at the First World War Memorial (also known as the India Gate), and a small crowd had gathered around her entourage after managing to slip past a few security barriers. The individuals concerned were detained thereafter, although there is a possibility that some escaped during the commotion. A medical team was immediately sent to the Princess once complications arose. Despite the immediate medical attention, her health deteriorated rapidly, and she was subsequently taken back to London for further treatment. India condemns any act of violence and expresses its regret that such an unfortunate incident took place during the Princess's visit. Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom during this difficult time. The Government of India is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all visitors to our country.

The Seventh Federative Republic of Flourishing Southlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Zeleniya The Brazilian Restoration and Salvation Council extends its compliments to the Foreign Office of Zeleniya. The Council assures the Zeleniyan authorities and the family of Mr Vrangel that it is exhausting resources to ensure the missionary's safe return and combat the so-called "Third Republic of Counani". It is working closely with the Polícia Civil do Estado do Amapá and Polícia Militar do Estado do Amapá to initiate a manhunt for the perpetrators, though such efforts may be confounded by the fact that over 70% of the state is uninhabited and undeveloped jungle.

March, 2024
| After the border incident weeks ago, where Israeli [IDF] soldiers clashed with presumed militants associated with [Hamas] at the [Al-Qarara] bridge crossing, [Hamas] officials have denied responsibility. They claim the confrontation involved Gaza residents defending themselves against what they perceive as Israeli oppression. This denial prompted public tweets from [Likud] party members, branding [Hamas] as a violent terrorist organization and urging for another border blockade. Which had not been enforce for years, following cooling tensions. In a public interview on national television, a Knesset member affiliated with the [Likud] party made this statement. |
| Following yesterday's statement in an interview, the Knesset convened for its regular monthly session and, with near supermajority support, voted in favor of reinstating a land blockade over the Gaza Strip. The blockade is set to take full effect within a week. According to the proposed bill, all non-emergency equipment and food items will be permitted to enter the Gaza Strip. Upon hearing news of the passed blockade bill, [Hamas] officials swiftly responded, asserting that the blockade was not only illegal by international standards but also a blatant provocation by the State of Israel. Publicly vowing to take action to ensure the safety of the people of Gaza. | |
