From our correspondent in Nbutoville.

The government of the Independent Republic of Nbuto has issued a diplomatic communique to the ambassador of Mbote, accusing the Mbote Defence Force of illegal landings by amphibious forces in the Bagombo River delta. The IRN has demanded the withdrawal of all units of the MDF from the territorial waters of Nbuto, including the disputed islands off the mouth of the Bagombo River. As yet, there has been no response from the government of Mbote, although a presidential radio proclamation is imminent, according to reports from the Mbote Broadcasting Corporation.
