Tragedy and Hatred law of the land in Suidwes-Afrika
The future of Suidwes-Afrika remained uncertain at the end of an especially violent year for the industrially developed but racially troubled African nation as contemporary prime minister and hardline white supremacist Walbert Braun continued to pursue a tough policy of strict racial segregation. Since coming to power in April, the Braun administration has already distinguished itself by consistently vowing violence to preserve white minority rule. Recent demonstrations by members of black nationalist movements have met opposition from pro-government extremists, and the death toll from police bullets alone has already exceeded into the hundreds. An alternating cycle of strikes and bloody repression entered its sixth month today, ever since security forces clashed with native plantation workers striking for better working conditions on July 1. The regime attempted to draw a veil of secrecy over Suidwes-Afrika, sealing it against outsiders, but this failed to prevent a number of international news sources from reporting first hand about the terror and bloodshed which followed under the state of emergency.
Suidwes-Afrikan soldiers and territorial police crushed protests with great savagery, while self-appointed members of white 'vigilante' groups were implicated in the wanton slaughter of black citizens. For weeks before the initial unrest regional attention was already focused on the plight of the millions of blacks in Suidwes-Afrika. White settler rule was harshly criticised particularly for implementing forced labour laws which many fact-finding missions charged amounted to a system of slavery.

Braun unflinching on apartheid policy
Economic problems continued to prove a thorn in the side of Walbert Braun's racial segregation programmes and increasingly tyrannical domestic policy. Food supplies continued to dwindle, and black refugees have been superseding other "chief exports" to neighboring countries. Foreign investors, too, are fleeing in droves. The once promising nation was losing admirers inside and out, and Suidwes-Afrika has continued to take on the grim character of an apartheid police state.
By year-end more than half of the countries in the surrounding region have severed diplomatic relations with the Braun government. In addition, an interregional foreign ministers' conference has been called to consider the threat posed by Suidwes-Afrika to local stability.
Opposition to white minority rule from within continued to grow in spite of merciless retaliations by the security forces. Neighborhood "law and order" committees were enlisted to report anyone voicing opposition to the regime. Thousands of black persons have been arrested this week alone, and even makeshift jails were said to be overflowing. Braun was also making it difficult for people to leave the country. Although many foreign newsmen have already been expelled, reports of a growing underground movement have leaked out. Although there was some dissent among white professionals and businesspeople, Braun's personal popularity among the settler population has generally been strong. Large bands of 'political subversives' have been defeated or contained by SWAPOL, the territorial police. On over a dozen recent occasions public protests continued to be suppressed by lethal force.
