Ponsonby Press: Ceasefire!

==Sources Within Government Confirm Ceasefire in Effect==
Falleen Foreign Secretary Jimmy Carter and Chancellor Brandt have signed off on a ceasefire with the Red Federation which the rest of the Nilira Alliance has also approved of, sources within the federal government tell the Ponsonby Press. This development apparently marks the final end of open hostilities between the armies of the Nilira Alliance and the Red Federation's Red Armies after roughly four years of continuous conflict - although a state of war will continue to exist on paper until a formal peace document is signed by all parties.
Sources claim that the Red Federation's remaining forces in Jaharnum will be laying down their weapons and will be leaving Suttacasia - effectively pre-emptively surrendering control of Jaharnum to allied forces in order to begin the ceasefire and peace process earlier than some observers may have expected. No explicit outline for what the government intends to achieve in the peace accords has been made public thus far, aside from general statements made by some key officials previously.
This comes as a massive relief to people all over the world. In places like Shiha and the Free United CIties - both active war zones for much of the war - a large toll has been taken on infrastructure and economic prospects on top of human lives. Soldiers from Falleentium, Arum, the Straits, and Verzarent have been deployed for extended periods of time far away from home. Recent polls have found that public opinion is now decidedly in favor of ending the war.
