| Message | A ceasefire? I immediately reject this, as there has been hardly any fighting, for our ministers seem to be unable to fight. But we will not compromise with terrorists. We shall carry this war through until every member of the insurgency is iradicated! |

| Message | But there are no articles relating to fighting the insurgency. We happen to agree with the Aotearoan Resistance League on all the above issues. We do not agree with their militant tactics however. |
