Nonambar News: Protests rock Nonambar as people demand peace

==Protests rock Nonambar as people demand peace.==
The Hastigan State Capital, Nonambar, has been subject to protests across the week as people refuse to work, instead they’ve been taking the streets to urge an end to the war with the Red Federation. What appears to be thousands of people have marched down the city’s main streets waving banners and Hastigan flags calling for the end of bloodshed. The Hastigan State Chancellor, Mark Carney, has stated that he believes it is unlikely that these protests will turn violent, but has issued extra policing for the meantime to ensure protests remain civil. 
In the last war Hastiga was invaded by forces of Shiha whilst also being bombarded by the Straitain Navy. Many have told Nonambar News that they do not wish their homeland to be subject to such violence again, and think now is the time to end the fighting before the Red Federation’s “horror weapons” are deployed against them. Others have suggested that they simply wish the war to end so that talks of independence can begin again.

“We’ve been more than civil with the Falleen Federal Government. The Referendum for us to leave Falleentium succeeded but we’ve been more than cooperative in the war effort to ensure that all of the Empire remains safe. It’s just starting to feel like it’s being dragged out to stop us from leaving.”
Whilst feelings may be mixed about the referendum and the war, it does remain that Hastigans have planned to strike for at least three days in an attempt to make the Imperial Government listen. Nonambar News would note that the Democratic Labour Party enjoys the most support in Hastiga and these strikes could affect that.
