The F.U.N minister of foreign affairs rebuttals the news about possible legal actions coming from SA on late-night talk-show "Pauw". Popular opinion and media in the F.U.N have been broadly condemning the SA war.

"If South-Africa chooses to start suing, we can put a stack of breached contracts for agricultural improvements, dredging projects and local investments right back at them. The illegitimate war SA started against their neighbour Zimbabwe, directly endangering our interests and stability in the region, was a valid reason to nullify the order. Remember they did not notify/warn us in any way when they put our SA based investments/assets at risk. We do not wish to be involved or accused of backing destabilisers in the region, we can not afford to risk our good standing on the global theatre"

On the question of sorrows over lost investments or missed future orders the minister answered.

"With operations around the world, global licenses, recently increasing orders coming in from Venezuela and our economical focus shifting towards South-America we do not fear loss of business in South-Africa. Doing business in this beautiful country has proven to be a risky undertaking. On the grand scale, our business there is marginal compared to our global endeavours."

Pauw moved on to the subject of the Egyptian war after that and the program continued.
