Congo backs down and agrees to Become an Overseas Territory

Our quick reaction to the ongoing situation in the Congo has seemingly calmed the tensions there. Belgian officers acted quickly to pacify known mutinous elements of the Force Publique. With their ongoing loyalty secured, the fire quickly went out of the revolt and the loudest voices were quietened- in most cases by the thick walls of jail. The Colonial Administration has taken the initiative and seized on the opportunity afforded to them, and has extended their own control over all levels of government, and as a result we enjoy a far higher degree of control over the colony than we did previously.
