Pro-Pony riots in Greater Mackonia

[Greater Mackonia]

Today after years of silence the Pony movement in Mackonia is making a defiant stand aginst the government as ponies mainly in the Northern Tasnori peninsular which the ponies claim to be their homeland.

The riots are believed to have started when a small peaceful march for pony rights in the suburb of Atalinski was harassed by a large group of Macks.The Crowd taunted the ponies by hurling terms of

abuse,Throwing stones and other missiles and burning pictures of Luna and celestia.Then one of the Macks is believed to have pulled out a pistol and shot one of the ponies who just happened to be a ponyist religious leader

who had conducted underground spiritual meetings and was much respected in the pony community.It was then to the stunned shock of the crowd the ponies suddenly charged the attackers chasing them down several streets

When a group of peacekeepers attempted to disperse the crowd they were met with a hail of stones, bricks and even Molotov cocktails .The act of defiance set the pony community ablaze with hundreds of ponies protesting

against years of oppression.The ponies attacked peacekeepers,Looted stores and in some areas stormed police stations the Mackonian government is stunned by this "Pony rebellion" that is sweeping the country could this be the day ponies are finally free in greater mackonia? or will it simply strengthen the mack fear of ponies and ponyism

Sikasith Mahkiro,

We of Crystal Spires hope that the country of Greater Mackonia doesn't further destabilize, and we wish our condolences for the loss of life and injuries done to your people. This makes for a rather nasty precedent. It is my thought that perhaps if you promoted equal protection under the law and didn't have open discrimination against the ponies this would never have happened. Perhaps now the lesson is learned. Feel free to contact us if you need help with peacekeeping, and if the situation deteriorates outside of your control we can help you stabilize it, unless you wish for the more Imperialistic Ponyist nations to help "stabilize" your nation by colonizing it. Perish the thought.

Warm Regards,

PS. We're still watching you. Don't hurt anymore ponies, I don't want to have to call the UEF.

From: President Alex Sampson

It is indeed unfortunate to hear of unrest in your nation, but perhaps, given the ignorant and foolish state of your government, this is a good thing. Maybe, just maybe, these events will make you wake up and realize that Ponies are not the horrible menace you claim them to be.

And if you don't, well, some of my Generals are... interested in your nation, to say the least.

[Alkinor]

The Dominion of Alkinor condemns ponyism in all shapes an forms. The events in Greater Mackonia are only the most recent in a string of pony related incidents. In light of the increased threat of pony related violence the Dominion has decided to close its borders to all ponies.

[New Nassrau]

It is one of those interesting moments in your country if the situation is right, or wrong. Should we support a legitimate government, or a rebellion that will lead to goodness. It is quite the tough decision. Of course, looking at Mackonia's past events makes me want to go with the ponies. The backlash at us from your allies will make me want to side with you. Then again, I am a member of the CoPs. Tis' quite difficult. Now, you understand that your ignorant people started this entire ordeal, but I don't think you care. Maybe this will be good for your backwards nation, maybe, it might change you... for the better.

President Vitaliya Aleksandra

[Soviet Klaec]

Greetings and Condolences to you and your people, ruler of Greater Mackonia,

As Ambassador of the Liberated Peoples of the United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec, on behalf of our people's benevolent father and leader, Micheal Turpentine, I would like to offer Klaec's assistance in this matter, should the Nation of Greater Mackonia welcome it. We have a contingent of 500 men, mainly fresh recruits who, upon your acceptance, could be shipped out with in the hour, and at your nations border with in 72 hours, ready to defend our fellow communists should the ponies turn hostile. These insurrectionists can not be allowed to over throw your government, lest the situation worsen for all of us.

Regards,
Vladimir Helmar,
Ambassador of Klaec

Official Communique from the Dominion of the Lubyak
Encryption: None
Sent To: General Public

The Dominion of the Lubyak believes that the Pony rebellion in Greater Mackonia is a sure sign that the current government is doing an improper job in garunteeing the equality of its citizens.

As it stands, the Dominion would like to call upon nations to condemn the Greater Mackonian state for their actions in this situation.

The ponies of Greater Mackonia deserve to be able to live in a state that does not disciminate against them by the fact that they were born of a different species. We hereby call upon Greater Mackonia to begin negotiations with Pony leadership to ensure equality in the future.

Sincerely,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Twilight Novax

[Crystal Spires]

We of Crystal Spires officially Condemn Greater Mackonia because they do not guarantee that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in their Constitution, which claims all Mackonians are equal when they clearly are not. We call for equal protections under the law without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, blood type, or any other status including species.

[Saurisisia]

Official Statement from the Saurisian Government

We of the United Dinosaur States of Saurisia hereby condemns Greater Mackonia for their hostile attitudes towards Ponies and Ponyism. These riots have clearly demonstrated the oppression and discrimination Ponies who live in this backwards state face from both the government and the clearly-ignorant Mackonian people.

Official Communique of the Greater Pony Herd

The Greater Pony Herd hereby condemns the United Socialist States of Greater Mackonia for its acts of blatant speciesism and overall failure to protect the civil rights of their citizens regardless of their creed or species.

We also wish to point out that the recent unrest is nothing but a sign of the Mackonian state's utter failure and we will watch with amusement as the corrupt, speciesist regime of Mackonia will be shattered to pieces by the very people it pledges to protect but ultimately fails to do so.

To the leadership of the United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec, any attempts to cull the pony uprisings with violence will be met by force. Reconsider your actions while your state still enjoys its sovereignity.

[Soviet Klaec]

Salutations to the people of The Greater Pony Herd,

On behalf of our leader, I would like to stress the fact that his offer of military assistance is not to the disdain of the ponies. If they believe they're being mistreated and abused, the people and leadership of The United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec respect their right to separate. However, this does not justify violence to be returned against the people of Greater Mackonia, unless the ponies can prove that some extremity has been enacted against them by the people of Greater Mackonia. Until such time, my offer of assistance to the people of Greater Mackonia for defense should the ponies turn hostile shall remain. Should the people of Greater Mackonia accept our offer, and launch an attack against the revolutionary ponies, our forces will not assist them, and would immediately pull out of Greater Mackonia. I am sure this is a reasonable and fair offer from the people of The United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec for all parties involved.

Regards,
Vladimir Helmar,
Ambassador of Klaec

To: The United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec


I completely understand your sentiments, but in our situation the violence on the pony part is entirely justified. Greater Mackonia has a long and rich history of discrimination, speciesism and violence targeted at the benign equus sapiens, but even the ponies' benignity has limits. Should the ponies topple Mackonia's corrupt government, that'd be entirely justified since for a long time has it ignored rampant speciesism among its people and in fact fueled and encouraged it.

We apologize for our rather harsh reply but we still advise you to back off on this one.

Comrade Vladimir Helmar,

We of Crystal Spires would like to clarify the situation for you should this not be entirely clear. The Nation of Greater Mackonia has been forewarned of this impending disaster many, many, times during our meetings in LUNA and other Socialist organizations, he was denied entry in the Union of Equality and Freedom for his blatant violation of civil rights and protected rights of their pony citizens and now this is ultimately the result of closing their eyes and ignoring the endemic problems that come with keeping a state of inequality on the sole basis of species. We Condemn Greater Mackonia for their sheer disregard for the lives of their citizen and blatant failure of their duties to their people. This is a crime for sure, a crime of corruption of the Mackonian administration and a complete bastardization of their core ideals. Make no mistake, if you help them in any other way than stabilizing the situation, you would be helping potential international criminals.

Warm Regards,

[Soviet Klaec]

In lieu of the recent facts presented, The United Socialist States of Soviet Klaec withdraw there offer of support to the states of Greater Mackonia. However, our offer to the people of Greater Mackonia remains open. Should open conflict arise, our forces stand ready to deploy to Greater Mackonia to set up a refugee camp for any innocent victims of the conflict, ponies and humans alike. Due to such a circumstance, should such an unfortunate event take place, we would increase our offered assistance from 500 bodies to 3500, enough to encompass a well sized refugee camp, and hopefully to defend and police it adequately until such time as the conflict is resolved.

Regards,
Vladimir Helmar,
Ambassador of Klaec

[Undead Gypsies]

Troubled by the unrest in Greater Mackonia, a large influx of Undead Gypsy caravans have picked up shop and begun to move on. Worried about the supply of spirits and hallucinogens in Mackonia, they seek better homes in neighbouring nations where tensions are perhaps not so high.

"Fi, what'd we do without our bourbon, girl?", bowler-hatted skeleton Earl Scorndime asked a local reporter, "we'd do nothing, that's what we'd do. Nothing! And nothing is not acceptable, we've gotta' move, gotta' make tracks, gotta' make history! You tell me one man, livin' or otherwise who did sommin' noteworthy without the alcohol. Look atcha', ya' can't do it. Simply can-not, no ma'am."

A wave of noise hit Sikasith Mackhiro as he stormed into the Politburo and sat in the Utstoll (High chair) The commissars stopped bickering and listened "Comrades what is the situation on the riots" said sikasith to a Norwegian Forrest cat who was in-fact Talery Mistoffeles commissioner for external socialism ."Things are looking bad the imperialist's are gathering and have condemned us ...your excellency i think it is time we gave the ponies some rights". TREASON!! screeched a black and white lizard who was in-fact the leader of the Patriotic unity party Sashiko "Are you suggesting we should betray the Mack people and their ancient birthright to rule these capitalistic traitors "."But comrade we are facing huge international pressure we are looking like the fascists we despise" said Talery cutting in "It is time w.. " Enough of this arguing shouted sikasith banging his cane against the floor "I have reviewed the international situation and i have deiced as Premeir of Greater Mackonia protector of the cat-people and guardian of the Mack that mackonia shall be under a Strat vo Extavi (State of emergency)" .The politburo fell silent this would give Sikasith Supreme power over with control over the Military and police force "I shall Make a televised address to the people announcing the emergency today "
He then turned to general Mackisto "i want this rebellion crushed by nightfall use anything under level 3 weapons and keep the entire army on alert the ponyist's may make an attack" just before he left the room sikasith turned to Sashiko "You comrade what is your current government position?" asked Sikasith "None comrade premier unless you count leader of the Patriotic unity party" answered Sashiko "Well congratulations you are now commissioner for internal security have a nice day" after sikasith left the room Talery put his hands in his paws and sighed now there were two paranoid anti-pony communists in government

Location:Transdanski
Subject:The Transdanski massacre

Major Tosev watched the large crowd of chanting ponies that had occupied the city square he estimated there were about 200-600 ponies crowded into the square .All of them chanting ponyist slogans such as "Friendship is magic!" or "Equality for all sapient creatures ".All this will end soon thought Tosev this was the largest gathering of pony protesters in Mackonia they had marched all the way from all over Mackonia to rant about equal civil rights but their favorite subject was of corse that the ponies owned Tasnori! the nonsense of it all and they even had the cheek to call it Bastavania or some other pony name."Well" said the major enough vaitaering(Literally waiting foolishly) "time to show those imperialist backed ponyists a lesson on Mackonian attitudes to their viscous cult" he looked up at the apartments surrounding the square the snipers were in position good. MARCH!! shouted Tosev and the column of soldiers clad in navy blue uniforms marched down the road leading to the square. And formed a line in-front of the entrance with Tosev's armored car behind them 2 identical lines of troops were blocking the other 2 exits of the square. "Give them the warning" hissed Tosev to his aid a mack solider with a large megaphone "Yes comrade major" said the mack he drew his breath."To all Protesters occupying Transdanski square you are currently violating several Mackonain laws and the Strat vo Etarraia(State of emergency). Unless you remove your camp and leave this area the assembled soldiers and peacekeepers will be forced to use all means to evict you.A wave of murmuring spread through the pony camp until one young pony shouted through a microphone "Untill the corrupt government of mackonia allows ALL species to prosper under socialism we will not leave this area!!".The ponies clapped in approval some even began singing the anthem of the Greater Pony herd and other pony states the mack looked at Tosev should i give them another warning said the mack as he noticed the soldiers loading there AK-74s .No said Tosev "now they will face the wrath of Mackonia" at that he lifted up his hand and made a strange signal to 6 cats assembled on the apartment balcony's .5 second later gunshots echoed through the square and anxious murmuring turned to screaming as ponies fell to the ground stone dead. The crowd quickly realized that the gunfire was coming from above and dashed towards one of the exits Upon seeing the crowd of ponies rushing towards the exit screaming in terror Tosev smiled FIRE he roared to the troops who then fired a salvo of gunfire into the crowd.The front of the crowd collapsed as fleeing ponies were remorselessly shot a young filly was shot while carrying a child on her back a huge banner of celestia collapsed as one of the ponies carrying it fell to the floor .After salvos of gunfire from all sides of the square Tosev ordered them to halt the square was now a bloody mess covered with dead and injured ponies .ADVANCE shouted Tosev triumphantly as the lines of blue clad soldiers marched in to arrest the survivors

The Transdanski massacre will go down in history of mackonia as the day Mackonia saved itself from pony rebellion or a horrid massacre and a shame on the country even some members of government were shocked at the brutality of the attack either way the 20th of November will be remembered
