In other news, the triumphant counter attack by Abyssia continues. It seems that the Abyssian Wars are entering a new phase. As the shattered armies of Pythium withdraw through the mountains they are being chased hard by the rampant Abyssians.

Asked if the Pythium retreat would continue, General Voldan explained, "We are not retreating. We are simply advancing in different direction."

In the Pythium capital, the Central Committee are meeting in closed session to discuss the disaster that has befallen the 1st and 5th armies. There are rumours of a power struggle behind the scenes and at least one member of the Central Committee has questioned the competance of the General Secretary, Vsevolod. Whether or not he can hold onto the reins of power remains to be seen.

Open criticism of the General Secretary is bound to undermine his position and it is interesting to note that the front page of Advarp, Pythium's national newspaper, features a prominent piece praising the recent work of Paghat, the current Chairman of the Intelligence Directorate.

The Democratic and Peace-Loving Peoples of Pythium await further news.
