| Message | The international sanctions were imposed over slavery not our political system. anything else is a lie! The Security Council does not pick which political systems to support or not. We were assured by many international actors in our time in office that sanctions would be lifted once slavery was abolished. That has happened. Dr. Pieter Strijdom Leader of the AHU |

| Message | What Dr. Pieter Strijdom doesn't realise however is that the Security Council is proposing to lift them gradually. Therefore it's of grave importance that these laws are lifted to make sure that the sanctions are lifted immediately. I've already stated that we would no longer comply as easily as we're now if they are lifted gradually (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6914&start=60). Moreover these laws are abhorrent and have also been discussed in the Security Council, thank to our neighbours as Vanuku we aren't feeling the pain the security council wanted to make us feel when they discussed it. So don't sugarcoat it, if we don't scratch these laws, we will still feel the pain of them. Johannes Henricus Brand, Leier LP |

| Message | http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7048#p107925 As the Hon. Mr Brand can see, the Security Council resolutions mention nothing other than slavery and the slave trade. Not once was democracy mentioned or even recommended in any of those resolutions. Talmoria's proposal to tie the lifting of sanctions to "democracy" is thus illegitimate and a strong government would demand that sanctions be lifted with immediate effect as they were imposed only based on slavery and slave trade. There are several nations that are not democratic in nature and do not have any sanctions on them. The abhorrence or lack of of these laws has nothing to do with the sanctions as you appear to recognise. Dr. Pieter Strijdom Leader of the AHU |

| Message | I'm not only talking about the sanctions. Look at resolution 5, I'm also talking about the foreign vessels in our waters. It's time we need to act and be a sovereign nation again. If we make sure not only the sanctions are lifted but also that the foreign vessels will go away from our shores than we will be free from the oppressing Security Council |

| Message | I also say explicitly that this is a path towards lifting them. I didn't say this did the trick. Also note that they only started trying to lift the sanction once I got in power. Brand, Minister-President van die koninkryk van Seridjan |

| Message | That last part is not entirely true through no fault of your own. My government did receive offers to end sanctions shortly after abolishing slavery. Slavery is all this about. We set a dangerous precedent if we accept foreign intervention into the nature of our political system. It seems Kalsitan has also changed its stance and is now trying to bully us into changing our political system. Are we to adopt a republic in order to please the Labour Party of Kalistan. No! Dr. Pieter Strijdom Leader of the AHU . |

| Message | We condemn the Republicans for destroying the foundation of our nation. You undermine our security and destroy our God given freedoms to dominate our land, the land our forefathers won for us. |
