PM WARREN IN US CUSTODY!
Author - Francis Jacque
On the brink of yesterday morning, US armed forces were seen entering the offices of PM Warren and surrounding the building. Moments later, they left with Warren being handcuffed.
Corruption in the highest places
An investigation team comprised of CI Dax, numerous redacted Tanoan detectives, and US armed forces have discovered direct incriminating evidence of cooperation among key government figures and pirate groups.
Yesterday morning US soldiers stormed the offices of PM Warren and arrested PM Warren. Shortly after, Dax called a press conference where he stated: "Our police force and our US partners are slowly managing to root out all corruption infested areas of our country. I can promise
you we have more leads to go on and every
single man linked to those monsters will be brought before court!"
Deputy PM Jackson in control
Governing coalition parties have entered into emergency meetings as Tanoa delves into chaos. Deputy PM Jackson, the opposition leader, managed to contain the situation in parliament. He tweeted: "We will enter into negotiations with the US regarding safe return of PM Warren as soon as we can.
Maintaining safety is our primary concern right now." His press secretary later revealed that the government has decided to condemn the actions of US Forces stating that this matter was supposed to be left to Tanoan jurisdiction.
What are the US intentions?
A storm of criticism aimed at US involvement came from patriots and nationals. Outraged, they claim that a sovereign state that the Tanoan Republic is has its own police force and judiciary system to carry out arrests lawfully. The Patriotic Tanoan Movement has swiftly reached out to the UN and International Court of Justice.
Is tanoa really safe?
Prior to the events of the arrest of PM Warren, Tanoan Police Force reported mass execution at the town of Vagalala. A pirate cell came during the night burning the town down and murdering all its residents. Our editorial house also received reports of armed men recklessly driving and intimidating bypassers with heavy weaponry. Is the Tanoan Police Force really in control?
