| Message | The Marxist incursions were tragedies, but those of the foreigners who have learned our ways and fought on our side should be once again welcome in our military. Let us not forget that it was Ezintsundo and Artanian together who drove out the Marxists. Ibutho will always be an Ibutho nation, yet is it not the privilege of the strong to give hospitality to those weaker? We need not fear extending that hospitality to any races in our military. |
