Although I assume it is supposed to be a joke, this is not an April 1st draft.

I think it is an extremely bad idea to use, as an example, a real
geographic region where people are dying due to conflict and to use an
organization name which sounds like it could plausibly exist in that
area. I do not consider the deaths in this region to be funny. See RFC
3797 for two examples of more clearly fictitious nation state names.

Thanks,
Donald
