20. News Item: The war of words continues Dateline: 30th of July, 2445; Arusha, EurAfrica, Earth

The bitter rancor continues to escalate between Daniel Kufuzu, the Exalted Warlord of EurAfrica and his much younger half-brother, Dimitri Verhovnyi, the Supreme Imperial Warlord of the Outer Reaches.

The current war of words was set off many years ago when Verhovnyi claimed that Kufuzu had attempted to clandestinely derail the construction of his immense Kuiper Belt Gas Refinement Facility. The Free City Inquisitor’s Office has since determined that, in fact, Kufuzu had secretly meddled with the establishment of the facility because it would eventually out produce the Xenon gas monopoly of the EurAfrican Exotic Gas Consortium of which he is the primary stakeholder.

In the current wave of acrimony, Kufuzu accused Verhovnyi of complicity in the assassination of his third wife, Sophia, as she attended trade talks in New Rome. The still unexplained murder in late May has continued to baffle New Roman investigators.

Speaking from the capital city of Arusha yesterday, the EurAfrican Warlord promised brutal retaliation against his brother if he is implicated in the crime.

Verhovnyi for his part accused Kufuzu of using the assassination of his wife to fan the growing anti Outer Reaches sentiment on Earth. The Warlord of the Outer Reaches even went so far as to imply that his brother may have had a hand in the woman’s murder.

Dimitri Verhovnyi luridly proclaimed in a press release from the Outer Reaches that “death would soon rain down upon Kufuzu for his treacherous misdeeds.”
