In Addis Ababa, a large union of corporate representatives, Muslim leaders, and regional elders who composed the Islamic Security Council, announced that the Wadiyan territories of Ethiopia and Eritrea are now to be independent of the Republic of Wadiya and are named the "Islamic Republic of Whaditrea." Further south in Nairobi, the militia-based Revolutionary Council announced that all of Kenya and most of Somalia, excepting the Wadiyan Proper, are now united to form the new "Eastern African Republic."

"Today, the people of the Wadiyan territories of Eritrea and Ethiopia have finally thrown off the yoke of oppression that we have long bore from the totalitarian leadership of Aladeen. Our families, our country, and our nation has suffered under his corrosive leadership. We have fought the long fight against Aladeen's tyranny and we hoped to reform the government but Aladeen remains to strong as his corrupt practices are rooted in foul tradition that stem from his evil father, Omar Aladeen. Thus, we have officially announced the creation of a new state that will protect the interests of all Muslims and Christians in our borders as well as ensuring a strong state that will prosper and protect its people." ~Statement made by President Tamir Salif to the NSNBCSid Barre meanwhile also gave us a written statement from his office.
"We are free, at last we are free from that piece of imperial camel shit. I wish to thank my many western allies for helping us overthrow this oppressive regime. But I encourage you all to continue to aid us in our fight against Wadiyan tyranny. Aladeen has not yet finished tormenting our people and we must ensure that our democracy remains. Government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people, as Abraham Lincoln, a American President once said." Statement made by President Sid Barre to the NSNBCPresident and Prime Minister Aladeen was unavailable to comment due to some alleged lovemaking but his Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Bashar al-Oman, did announce that the government of Wadiya refuses to recognize any succession attempts and that all zones that claim independence are still rightful property of Wadiya.
Meanwhile, Eternal Emperor Andrew Hall, leader of the Socialist Republic of Andrew and a close ally of Aladeen's, gave a statement to NSNBC that the situation was indeed bad in Wadiya but that the SRA was going to stand by its ally and use forceful means if necessary to quell the rebel violence. Another one of Wadiya's allies, the Gulf Empire, was contacted but Secretary Mohammed Kolla of the Department of State announced that the Gulf Empire will decline to comment on the current situation in Wadiya, due to apparent indecision in the high command. The State Department and Presidential Administration of the Conch Republic of Timmy City meanwhile issued a joint statement that they "will continue to monitor" the situation and are prepared to provide all sides with humanitarian aid. They also made the statement about reserving the right to send peacekeeping forces into Wadiya.
NSNBC failed to contact representatives from Texas, Rizealand, or the Congress of Nations but many speculate that this succession will offset the world balance. The reactions of other world leaders have not yet been accounted for but stay tuned for more.
