Thousands of people have been massacred in Hisrea province several months into the Zalluabedi government's operation to rid the countryside of rebels. Cell phone footage has revealed dozens of massacres over the past several weeks.

"Zalluabed has committed gross human rights abuses in the past several months," Vallotis said. "Zamastan stands committed to holding them accountable for their actions, and we encourage the international community to do the same. President Zayyaan al-Akhtar and King Farik al-Jamura, in addition to Foreign Minister Nashat el-Yusuf and Defense Minister Jirhanu Bjyala, all four officials and heads of the Zalluabedi government are responsible and complicit in these horrendous crimes."

Zalluabed is the subject of intensive Zamastanian sanctions, with nearly all trade having been halted since November of 2020.

Reports from Hisrea are horrifying. The Tofino Times has compiled one such story: Mawaya was watching television at a relative's one-room apartment in Bilana, a historic city in Zalluabed's war-torn, western Hisrea region, in early March when a news bulletin flashed up on the screen. Graphic, unverified footage had surfaced of a mass killing near Mawaya's hometown of Hemibera Dego, in a mountainous area of central Hisrea. In the shaky video Zalluabedi soldiers appeared to round up a group of young, unarmed men on a wind-swept, dusty ledge before shooting them at point-blank range -- picking them up by an arm or a leg and flinging or kicking their bodies off a rocky hillside like ragdolls.

The soldiers can be heard in the footage urging one another not to waste bullets, to use the minimum amount needed to kill and to make sure none of the group were left alive. They also appear to cheer each other on, praising the killings as heroic and hurling insults at the men in their captivity. Mawaya said he believes one of the men killed in the video was his younger brother, Chajahid.

The mass killing near Hemibera Dego is one of several to have been reported over the course of Zalluabed's seven-month-old conflict during which thousands of civilians are believed to have been killed, raped and abused. But with independent access to journalists severely restricted until recently and telephone and internet services often blocked, it has been challenging to verify accounts of atrocities in Hisrea. Amid the effective communications blackout, few videos have emerged from the fighting and those that have are difficult to authenticate.

Through a forensic frame-by-frame investigation of the video footage -- corroborated by analysis from the CCA Human Right Watch's digital verification and modeling experts -- as well as interviews with 10 family members and local residents, the Tofino Times has established that men wearing Zalluabed army uniforms executed a group of at least 11 unarmed men before disposing of their bodies near Hemibera Dego.

Zalluabed is facing a raft of intense scrutiny over human rights violations that may amount to war crimes in its Hisrea region. Thousands of civilians are believed to have been killed since November, when Zalluabed President Zayyaan al-Akhtar launched a major military operation against Hisrea's ruling party, the Hisrea People's Liberation Front (HPLF), sending in national troops and militia fighters from across Zalluabed.

In the phone call, Moreau said that Armitage, the Conservative Party nominee for President in 2020 and Moreau's main opponent, was a "scummy person" and that she "only got far in the party because of her looks." Moreau has not responded to the leaked comments, and the Zian Presidential Mansion has declined to make statements as of the publishing of this report.

In the audio, Moreau is heard saying "Sabine doesn't have skill regarding politics, she's just snarky. She'll go behind your back if you disagree with her and try to trash your career. I never liked her, there are no dignified qualities. She's a scummy person. Sakzi didn't like her either, that should tell you something about how scummy she is. She only got far in the party because of her looks."

Congresswoman Armitage's office released a brief statement, calling the President's remarks "insulting and demeaning". Armitage has recently expressed interest in running for President a second time in 2022, although she has made no definitive decisions.

Osipovgrad- April 18 2021 marks the 68th anniversary of the death of Nikifor Osipov, the first Vozhd of the Slavic Union and a man who is universally regarded throughout the nation as a hero. Flags have been lowered to half mast throughout the nation and memorials have been dedicated to him.

The state department also released a transcript from a 1953 interview with Adrian Kollerov, host of the Slavic Unions first ever talk show, ‘The Adrian Kollerov Show’. The interview was taken mere hours before Osipovs death at the age of 75. The transcript can be found below.

The following is a transcript from a 1953 episode of ‘The Adrian Kollerov Show’, where Kollerov interviewed then Vozhd Nikifor Osipov
Date: 04/18/53

Kollerov: My next guess needs no introduction, but he sure deserves one, I’d like to welcome the savior of the Slavic Union, the Great Bear, Nikifor Osipov!

Osipov walks onstage while the audience claps, Osipov has a very noticeable limp and breaks into a coughing fit once he sits down

Osipov: My apologies Kollerov, I think I might’ve caught something recently

Kollerov: No need to apologize your excellency, you’re a Slavic Hero

Osipov: Maybe so, but past conduct is not an excuse for weakness. Let’s get on with the interview shall we?

Kollerov: Certainly, now for my first question I’d like to ask if you are worried that the civil conflicts in Gladysynthia could result in border skirmishes, especially as more and more soldiers return home following their recent withdrawal from the World War?

Osipov scoffs

Osipov: You have the audacity to think I fear some two-bit nation that we already beat back 1400 years ago?

Kollerov: No of course not, it’s just-

Osipov: No, no, I’m sorry, my temper has been short lately. It’s a good question. It’s certainly a possibility, but the Slavic military is prepared, as it always is, to deal with any foreign threat. If our borders are breached by any foreign nation there will be grave consequences.

Kollerov: Now I’d like to ask for your general thoughts on the World War

Osipov: It’s a silly conflict, one which the Union is better off being out of, we have made great profits from selling equipment to both sides though. So I guess their foolishness is to our benefit.

Kollerov: It certainly seems to be sir, now what do you say to those calling for a Slavic intervention in the Gladsynthian Civil War

Osipov: Slavic blood is not to be spilled in foreign conflicts, there is little benefit to interference. We will not send troops or aid to any side in the war, Gladsynthia has always been a weak nation that thought itself far too highly, this ought to knock them down a peg.

Kollerov: Now-

Osipov breaks down into a coughing fit[

Osipov: I’m sorry, I think we’ll have to cut this short, I need to get some work done tonight. I need a glass of water, or a cigar.

Osipov gets up and leaves before Kollerov can say anything else
