A GLIMPSE OF HOPE ABROAD

_{An armored vehicle that belonged to the Danasred.}

December 8, 2014 at 7:00 PM (Monday). Not long after the Battle of Yeliyavyrd which took place in October 22, the Pejitean Military Forces initiated Operation Mukslerev, a major military campaign that aimed to force the Danasred out of Pejite. This operation lasted for the whole month of November, and continued until today. The campaign was administered by the Pejitean Government, and by the Pejitean General Alkerev Evarv who commanded four army divisions against the Pejitean rebels. The campaign was also sanctioned by the Republic of Tolmakia, with the Tolmakian Military Forces joining in offensive operations as authorized by the Pejitean Government in the last Pejitean-Tolmakian summit.

Roughly 40,000 Pejitean soldiers and policemen, and 500 Tolmakians were engaged with an unknown number of rebels, with witnesses estimating 1,000 to 10,000+ rebels. The resulting campaign took the lives of 1,000 Pejiteans, 12 Tolmakians, and possibly 2,500 to 5,000 rebels. 500 Pejitean soldiers also defected, but were either killed or captured. Most of the fighting occurred in the northwestern parts of Pejite, out in the barren highlands. Despite the losses, rebel activity has dwindled, and there are no more reports of the Danasred, or their activities in Western Pejite. The Pejitean armed forces are also opting to cooperate with the Iraqi border guards and local police to cleanse any remaining rebels near the Iraqi-Pejitean border.

"This has given our country a glimpse of hope," Dylan Hammondt, the Pejitean Ambassador to the Tolmakian Republic remarked. "We are really grateful that the Danasred have finally stopped their attacks, and thankful too for our ally's support." He added that the Pejitean Military Forces will remain on high alert, and will continue pursuing their "prey."

After the Second Pejite War which just ended this year, many resisting Pejiteans formed numerous rebel organizing. Later, these all were incorporated into the Danasred, which was structured out of the Pejitean Freedom Fighters. The group is led by Ramay Liam, and has harassed peacekeepers, threatening the peace and stability of the kingdom, and its allies within the Pejitean borders.

Questions have been raised in Parliament regarding the increase in worldwide complaints about the activities of Raiding Force. Defense Minister Harmony Chang is expected to meet with the Council of Generals to discuss the issue and report to Parliament within the week.

Raiding Force is a semi-autonomous commando unit which operates internationally in hostage-rescue situations, etc. Although it has no official authorization to operate outside of Fatatatutti, both Parliament and the Council have been content to turn a blind eye toward its extra-legal activities. However, there have recently been complaints from several nations about Raiding Force activities on their soil, some of which have been characterized as "acts of war".

The situation came to a head last week when a Raiding Force aircraft returning from a mission, low on fuel and with wounded on board, disrupted air traffic at Fat City International Airport for more than an hour. Reports that several international airlines plan to pull their flights from Fatatatutti have not been confirmed.

The commander of Raiding Force, Major John "Scottie" Wilson, could not be reached for comment. General Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina, considered by many to be "the face of the Army", smiled when confronted by reporters and said only that, "Raiding Force's policy is to support the cause of freedom, anywhere, any time."

Recent developments in Parliament are fuelling rumours of an imminent cabinet shuffle. Clashes in debate between the Alphonsist wing and the Fishist wing of the Socialist Party have prompted some commentators to predict that the Socialists will lose up to three seats in upcoming by-elections and that, as a result, Prime Minister Schuyler Marmish will be replaced by Harmony Chang of the Communist Party.

Prominent Alphonsists and Fishists are downplaying the division. However, with support for the Alphonsists coming from the Alphonsist wing of the Castro-Stalina Party, there is also speculation about the possible formation of a new independent Alphonsist Party. Fishists in the Socialist Party and the Castro-Stalina Party have categorically denied any plans for an independent Fishist Party but the Castro-Stalinist wing of the Socialist Party has not ruled out the possibility of uniting with Fishists in the Communist Party, the Social-Democratic Party and the Fluffyist Party.

(Note: the Fluffyist Party should not be confused with The Fluffiest Hobo, which is a TV show about a duck who wanders from town to town having various adventures.)

The Prime Minister commented only that she will accept the will of the people and of Parliament and if she is replaced she will give the new Prime Minister her full support. Representatives of Alphonse pointed out that Alphonse is not affiliated with the Alphonsist wings of any party and that he will be too busy pursuing his career of grape-licking and sleeping to put much effort into politics. President Fish said only, "Bloop!" which some have interpreted as support for a united Fishist Party.

ΒΑΣΤΑΡΝΟΣΚΑ ΚΑΝΣΕΛΛΕΡΙ ΡΕΔΕΘ υφαρ σου ΑΛΦΑΒΕΤΑ

Following a recent government-funded study into the rampant problem of illiteracy among Bastarneian citizens, it was discovered that the general population's literacy is not as low as what is widely believed, but rather, the population is simply accustomed to a different alphabet than the one used in official contexts by the Bastarneian monarchy and chancellery.

Since the restoration of Bastarneia's independence in 1991, the Greek Alphabet has been used in all official contexts in the public sector, with the intent of removing Soviet influence from the lives of the newly independent Bastarneian people. The change was immediately met with severe consequences, with adult literacy rates dropping from 99.7% in 1991, to just 12.2% in 1994. What was not measured, however, was competency in reading or writing in alphabets other than Bastarneian Greek.

Adult literacy when using Bastarneian Greek has stabilized at around 70% in the past four years — a welcome change since 1994 — but the root of the problem has not been properly addressed: Bastarneians are simply using the Cyrillic alphabet in their day-to-day life instead of Greek.

Due to the disparity between familiarity with the Greek and Cyrillic variants of the Bastarneian alphabet, members of the Chancellery have proposed a new standard for writing Bastarneian in the Cyrillic alphabet, which will be co-official with Bastarneian Greek should the legislation come to pass.
