President Fred's Funeral - part 3 - enter the hippo (again)

Back to Darkest Africa now.  Above can be seen the funeral cortege underway, accompanied by armed retainers from several factions.
The only ones to bring an AFV to the fiuneral were (of course!) L.A.D.A, whose BTR-152 can be seen bringing up the rear.
Meanwhile by means a matrix argument and clever use of a cue card, Roger Mellie was being mobbed by locals (or are they leftist revolutionaries?) desperate to be on TV.
The cue card in question.  Oh and there's that hippo again...
Not to be outdone, Captain D'eath had some of his men in attendance.
Some?  Well quite a few actually - many hiding in buildings!
The hippo was attracted by the noise of motor vehicles (you may remember it's fondness for such things from before).  Firing soon began - started by the UN(!), with Capt. D'eath soon joining in.  They all missed though and the unfortunate beastie was finished off by the P.O.O.F.S.  And all on live TV....
By now mourners were gathering from all around and the cortege had swollen to epic proportions!  So now that the sound of gunfire has at last been heard, what next?

Part the last coming soon...

Aww...

"Now I've completely gone off the POOFS. Good guys is as good guys does - and the People's Own Organisation For "Socialist" (yeah, right) Terrorist Action (POOFTA) has shown, by shooting the poor innocent hippo, that they are just another bunch of opportunistic political gangsters."
Jno. Pliger UPA.

Great story unfolding!

I expect that everyone will blame everyone else for the hippo slaying.

I'm still surprised that Fred lasted as long as he did!

You'll need a reinforced table for the buffet...
