Thibaw
In an update to The Patriot’s comprehensive June issue where allegations of bribery of the Tanyan people by Wordsworth Energy were mentioned, we have spoken with the Tanyan people who deny any such bribery. The Tanyans claim that all support from Wordsworth is through designated programs for helping nurses, teachers, etc. When asked for a comment from Wordsworth, they were not able to elaborate on how their money is being spent to help the Tanyan community.
In other energy news in Thibaw, negotiations between Shiloh and the Thibaw government have reopened.
Events Elsewhere
On July 2, there was a failed coup attempt in Lingama, the capital city of the SE African state of Hortensia. The country has been racked by civil war for years and only recently gained uneasy stability under President Winston Orgusa. The coup targeted the President’s residence, the main TV station, and the National Guard headquarters before some 150 insurgents were taken prisoner by government forces.
Sources say that the insurgents snuck in from the neighboring country of Abasaula during the night. Some of those captured are former British and Belgian military officers with a history of organizing military rebellions. One is the brother of Jonathan Carruthers (also a former officer), the managing director of British security consultants Beowulf Integrity Limited. While there is no immediate evidence that Beowulf was involved in the coup attempt, the brothers are known to be close. Of further concern is the fact that Beowulf has been undertaking work for Wordsworth Energy in Thibaw. When approached for comment, Wordsworth immediately shut down and refused to comment on the uprisings in Hortensia. The Patriot will continue to pursue more information about how Wordsworth feels about doing business with a company that may be linked to ruthless military activity in developing countries.
