Department of External Affairs (DOEA)

[Hash]

The SOEA would like to at this time ask if any Senators would be interested in drafting a bill for the recognition of the nation of West Africa?

Why? The SADR ain't no Somaliland.

Quite simply the fact that though it has been on the backburner for the past ten years or so, it still creates alot of tension between the Arab and African worlds and hopefully this will remove alot of that tension.

I'm sure our Moroccan allies will be overexcited about this.

[Хahar 🤔]

Tomorrow I the SOEA will be travelling to Columbia to meet with President Uribe, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bermudez, and Minister of National Defense Lujan.  I will be releasing a statement in regards during my trip.

I protest the absence of the accentuation on the names of the honorable ministers Bermúdez and Luján.

I've never known how to insert those. You better teach me before I write a story on it.

I was kidding. I don't know how to write them on your keyboards. I only know for ''Canadian multilingual'' keyboards (for French-speakers, in short)

I feel like I would fail terribly if confronted with a multilingual keyboard. I've invested so much time memorizing my single language one.

Use US-International. It's excellent.

Communique:

The DOEA would like to congratulate the Afghani people for bravely getting out the vote under heavy threat from the nation's terrorist elements.  Whoever wins this is a victory for democracy in the region.

Communique:

The SOEA will next week begin a GTO Expansion Tour throughout the various nation's that Atlasia is petitioning for admission to the Global Treaty Organization, as well as various members of the GTO who are opposed or on the fence with the petition.  I will begin the tour in Strasbourg to meet with the various EU members, making public speeches both there, in Argentina, in Canada, and finally in Australia.  This will hopefully serve to strengthen our nation's international standing and goodwill and to expand the GTO.

The DOEA would like to advise that all merchant ships travelling around the Horn of Africa and especially in the Gulf of Aden arm themselves for protection againest the Somali pirates.  Also we would like to recommend ongoing patrols at all available times by the Navies of the nations in control of those waters.

I hope that the Russian government under President Medevev and Prime Minister Putin will discontinue their assistance to Venezuela.  I will be making a trip on Thursday to Russia to meet with the two of them on the ongoing instability in the region and hope that all nations involved will be able to avoid a war.

On a side note to this there have been no Atlasian "Atlasian Encroachments in South America" and in this conflict Venezuela is the aggressor so his attempts to say otherwise are just plain false.  The President's of both Atlasia and Colombia are both offended by Chavez's claiming President Uribe is President Lief's puppet, another totally untrue statement.

[HappyWarrior]

Just to inform everyone I will be having a hard time getting on the internet for the next few days due to internet problems in my new college apartment, however once I start at the college I should be back on frequently.  I start monday

Communique:

First off I would like to congratulate the Democratic Party of Japan on their recent electoral victory.  I hope that they will deign to retain the strong Working Relationship between Tokyo and Nyman.

Now on to more pressing matters.  I would like to ask the Senate as well as the president to send aid, whether it be monetary, supplies, or if at all possible Atlasian soldiers to aid in the driving back first of all of the FARC rebels as well as a possible invasion of Colombia in the near future.  I would like to highlight that this action would be in no way aggressive, we would simply be aiding our ally Colombia as I feel the Global Treaty Organization calls for us too.  I hope that the Atlasian Senate will hear me out on this and not simply take a dovish tone based on tradition.

[HappyWarrior]

I will be boarding a plan in about an hour to go to St. Petersburg for a meeting with the President and Prime Minister of Russia to discuss the ongoing situation in Colombia.

Could you please bring back some cheap Russian vodka? Our Senate supplies are running pretty low.

SOEA HappyWarrior, Prime Minister Putin, and President Medevev march out of a side panel to stand in front of a microphone prepared to broadcast around the world.  There had been alot of international pressure placed by the Atlasian government  to ensure that if there were a war between Colombia and Venezuela that it would not grow to become a world war.  The SOEA has come to St. Petersburg and is now standing in it's square with the two Russian leaders to announce the final result of this meeting.

Hello everyone.  I am very happy to be here in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg today and would like to thank my hosts President Medevev and Prime Minister Putin for allowing me here today.  We all think that the time has come for greater cooperation and understanding between our nation.  I also have a very important announcement here today.  The Russian Federation will hereafter not be participating in the very clear problems arising in Venezuela.  The nation's leaders have clearly begun to see that their military aid is only worsening the situation.  In exchange Atlasia has offered to increase trade with Russia in this, a time of great need for this beautiful nation.  The time has come to get over the Cold War and truly embrace a new day for our nations!  Thank you very muich!

I would like to remind the governments of South America of the agression and hatred President Chavez has shown towards almost all non-Socialist nations, particularlly in South America.  The time has come for the world to stand united againest this common foe.  Chavez does not stand for the good in the region but for the despotic.  We are not planning any sort of aggressive actions against Venezuela nor will we.  However we will not hesitate to aid Colombia should Chavez lead an aggresive act againest our friends and allies.  Please end this President Chavez and lay down your aggresive stance, then we can simply stop this ongoing conflict and be at peace.

I will be travelling tomorrow to start my GTO Expansion meetings with various international leaders.  Tomorrow I will be meeting with the various leaders of Europe at the European Commission in Brussels.  Following this meeting we will be holding a public press conference with these leaders.  Then I will be travelling to Norway to have a similar meeting with King Harald, Prime Minister Stoltenburg, and President Jagland.  Following that I will be travelling the next day for a meeting in Australia with Prime Ministers Rudd and Key.  After completing this meeting with them we will hold another public conference. I will then travel that evening to South Korea to meet with President Myung-bak and Prime Minister Seung-soo.  Finally after an evening of rest in Seoul I will travel back to the Americas meeting in the morning with Prime Minister Harper, President Calderon, and President Bachelet here in Nyman after which I will have a final conference for the tour.

[HappyWarrior]

Early this morning SOEA HappyWarrior took a plane ride to Brussels, Belgium in order to meet with the various heads of state of the European Union member nations.  All morning following his arrival he has been in a closed door meeting with the leaders.  Now it seems he will be emerging in but a moment with those leaders to hold a public press conference to reveal the final decision of this meeting regarding the Global Treaty Organization expanison.  It appears they are now emerging and the speech is about to begin:

Welcome everyone.  We are here today to discuss the expansion of the European Union further and make all EU member nations members of the Global Treaty Organization. We have come to an understanding that they will in fact join us in this affair, after all is there not more security for all if our naitons work as one?  Obviously their own national legislatures must approve of this as well before the treaty would go into effect for them.  However I do feel that it will be a smooth transition overall.  It is also my hope that they will send aid, whether monetary or military to our ally Colombia if there is any sort of conflict between Colombia and Venezuela.  However I will not be demanding anything of them myself.  This evening I will be having a private meeting with the leaders of Norway on this matter as well.  Now I will yield the floor to the leaders of the European Union members.

[HappyWarrior]

Late last night SOEA HappyWarrior conducted a meeting with the leaders of Norway, following his EU meeting and press conference.  Though he did not make any sort of public address from Norway early reports are that the meeting went quite well.  Now however it should be noted he will be arriving in Melbourne momentarily to meet with Prime Minister's Rudd and Key for the same sort of discussion, followed by a speech with the two leaders.  This should be coming up later today.  Stay tuned.

[HappyWarrior]

The SOEA's meeting with the Prime Ministers last night ran quite long, and because of this no public address could be made.  However word is that the meeting went quite well with the SOEA's push for the aid of both nations in the hoped for expansion of the GTO.  This evening he will be traveling for a meeting with the President and Prime Minister of South Korea, and finally will be returning tomorrow to Nyman for a large American meeting after which he will be making  a final speech on the tour.

[HappyWarrior]

The SOEA has just returned from his trip around the world to meet with the various leaders and encourage membership in the Global Treaty Organization.  Now he is back in Nyman meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, and the Presidents of Mexico, Chile, and also Colombia and Brazil as standing members of the GTO.  Alot of the meeting will also concern the recent FARC strikes and situation in Colombia.  The SOEA and world leaders are now coming out to give their address.

Thank you everyone for coming today, especially the various world leaders.  I am especially saddened that my friend President Uribe had to come while such terrible fighting as what happened yesterday in his home country.  I have and continue to encourage him not to commit to aggressive acts againest Venezuela and maintain the international peace and stability. The time has come for the GTO to expand and I am happy that Senator Hashemite proposed a bill to do so.  I have received assurances from our partners here in America that they will work with myself and the President in this expansion of the GTO.  Now I will turn the press conference to the other leaders.

[HappyWarrior]

The SOEA is expected to shortly make a quick speech on the recent revelation of the involvment of Mr. Chavez in the FARC rebellion in Colombia.

This morning President Uribe spoke via teleconference on the recent situation in his nation and he has given me his express promise that he will not launch any sort of offensive war againest Venezuela unless he is himself attacked and that his military is only being used at this time to combat the FARC rebels and all that they have been doing to challenge his nation's soverignty.  I personally feel the time has come to aid our ally in Colombia and I encourage President Lief and the Senate to commit to military aid againest the FARC and a possible attack by President Chavez.

[HappyWarrior]

The Anti-Imperial Army of America as these terrorists call themselves will not be allowed to attack us unrepentant and without any sort of response.  The recent terrorist attacks on American embassies will not go unpunished.  Our response in Mexico I think shows that such things will no longer be allowed to happen.  I truly hope that the Senate will not simply take it's usual pacifistic approach to these terrorists and will truly oppose them with all the might of Atlasia.

On a side note I would also like to aid that this group wil be added to our international terrorist watchlist at this time.

FTR, as a Senator, I support authorizing the use of the Atlasian armed forces against the AIAA. It's an important problem and a direct threat to Atlasia, unlike sending troops to fight the FARCs in the jungle.

I'd just like to chime in here to concur with Hash. This is a different situation where I will support the use of force. Of course, with some minor reservations.

[Хahar 🤔]

Senatorial oversight must exist. This can't be a blank check.

Communique:

I will within the next couple of days be travelling to Yemen to meet with President Ali Abdullah Saleh and Prime Minister Ali Abdullah Saleh to discuss closer relations between the Americans and Yemenis in the war on terror.  Recently the outer provinces of Yemen have begun increased allegiance to Al Qaeda and various other terrorist organizations.  We are going to explore military, political, and economic solutions to this problem throughout the meeting.  Following this  I will return to Nyman to discuss possible solutions with the President, Cabinet and various Senators.  These areas in Yemen are of vital strategic importance in the war on terror, despite their sparse population and I hope working with the Yemenis and other allies in the region we may be able to find a solution.

[HappyWarrior]

Communique:

First of all I'd simply like to congratulate Chancellor Angela Merkel on her Christian Democratic Union on their recent reelection victory.

Now on to more sobering matters.  Atlasia wishes to officially condemn the recent violence and we will also be officially be putting the government of Captain Moussa Dadis Camara under full economic and political restrictions.  If anyone has suggestions on how to deal with this clear threat I will happily take them.  I will soon be traveling to Midrand, South Africa to meet with the various leaders of the African Union following my meeting in Yemen to figure out a solution throughout Africa.
