Conflict Flares in Caucasus: Georgia Invades Breakaway Provinces
By Don Richardson
Georgian soldiers in the town of Kvaisi, South Ossetia
Following a short and relatively normal speech by Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili promising to “end the illegal occupation of Georgian land by foreign powers” delivered in April of 2026 not many expected conflict to once again arise in the region. However this idea of peace was swept aside yesterday as rapidly mobilized Georgian soldiers crossed the ceasefire line into South Ossetia and Abkhazia with the stated goal of ending the existence of the 2 breakaway republics. In total 55,000 Georgian troops have been mobilized with another 30,000 conscripts being prepared for further mobilization. The Georgian air force and navy have so far been relatively calm with the exception of the sinking of a small Abkhazian patrol craft. Currently it is thought that the reasoning behind the attack is the belief that Russia would not interfere due to it’s invasion of neighboring Kazakhstan. This theory was basically confirmed as the Georgian government made a statement just 15 minutes after troops first crossed the ceasefire line requesting that Moscow remove troops from the contested land immediately.
Georgia has occupied much of Western South Ossetia and is within 15 km of the capital, Tskhinvali. No invasion forces have yet to enter Abkhazia
Kazakhstan Parliament Condemns Russian Invasion
By Joseph Dellaware
Russian and Kazakh forces have engaged in violent clashes in the northern regions of the country.
A tumultuous session of Kazakhstan’s parliament played out earlier today as members of the opposition joined with elements of the ruling party to pass a scathing condemnation of Russian actions in the north of the country. Leading a vocal, passionate speech in defense of the bill, the Chairman of the Senate called for the President to invoke the CSTO’s mutual defence clause as the death toll from the conflict continues to climb. However, few analysts believe that the President will sign the bill into law and fewer still believe that the CSTO would respond to a request for military support given Russia’s influence within the organisation. Tek Qazaqstan has seen their approval rating skyrocket following the invasion, and elements of the military have been seen fighting alongside armed militias aligned with the group. Stunningly, the President of the country has remained silent on whether or not he considers the Russian action as a declaration of war, potentially opening up a power vacuum as local military commanders increasingly seem to be acting independently. Although Russian forces have made impressive territorial gains within Russian-majority regions of the country, it remains to be seen whether President Putin will need to commit additional forces to the conflict in light of the stiffer-than-expected resistance.
Turkish Kurdistan Makes Gains in Turkey, Announces Plans to Unite With Republic of Kurdistan
By Yanik Kaya
Current territories held by the factions in conflict of the Turkish Civil War.
Green: Pro-Government/Pro-Erdogan
Purple: Free Turkish Army/Istanbul Government
Orange: Kurdish Separatists
With the situation in Turkey still changing with sides losing and gaining ground, an obvious change has been with the Kurdish success against the Turkish Government in the majority Kurdish areas, managing to land a seriously needed victory over the slowly exhausting Turkish Armed Forces. With these recent gains, Kurdish extremists in more isolated majority areas have organized militias that have risen and begun to expel Turkish people and acquire arms in local police armories.
But a political change has been made as well: the Kurdish PKK led Government has announced their intentions to join Republic of Kurdistan, which could cause a significant threat to the balance of middle eastern politics, with increasing tensions from Iran and the already fragile BTO. Regarding the PKK announcement, one commenter has said, “The Kurdish are making a way to create their history, but to destroy others while doing so.” The current Government of the Republic of Kurdistan hasn’t made any comment on the current situation, but many have already announce that they will welcome their brothers in open arms.
As for the FTA and Pro-Erdogan forces, the Turkish Armed Forces will expect breathing room as several FTA units are being pulled from the front to face the Pro-Government uprising in thrace that threatens the city of Istanbul, an important political factor the FTA holds. But with the conflict, it also brings the ever increasing refugee crisis that is now starting to see in effect. With Turkish refugees being seen fleeing to Northern Cyprus, Europe, and even those who are ambitious to reach Morocco to use the migration hotspots to make their way to France.
Hole of Death: Wife of David Miscavige found in Ciudad Juarez notorious Clandestine Graves, among others
By Ben Henderson
Shelly Miscavige, wife of the current head of Scientology David Miscavige, has been missing since 2007, never seen since that date. That is, until today, when excavations in Ciudad Juarez uncovered Shelly Miscavige's body, along with 58 others, most of them women. Since the late 90s, hundreds of bodies have been found in the area irregularly as time goes on, most of them, including the most recent discovery, have been filled with women. During the late 90s, Mexico’s then attorney general worked with the FBI to uncover the truth of these pits, and one prominent theory that was agreed upon by the investigation was that organizations on the American side with connections to the US government is transporting and burying the bodies along Mexican northern border states, bribing local officials to look the other way.
As the discoveries of bodies continued, interest and general seriousness in regards to the Ciudad Juarez mass grave and femicide investigations dissipated. However with the recent discovery of Shelly Miscavige's corpse, interest has been sparked in the mysterious graves. High densities of corpses don't seem to be unique to just Ciudad Juarez, however. Bodies throughout the Caribbean and the Gulf of California are being discovered, with the highest body count for bodies underwater being 42, most of them children. Many of these bodies have been found near poets where ships belonging to an organization called Sea Org, which is connected to the Church of Scientology, have recently docked at.
No popular theory has yet to be produced to provide explanation for the mass grave in Ciudad Juarez, nor for the bodies found in the Caribbean and in the Gulf of California. The Church of Scientology gave one comment which was as follows:
“The accusations thrown at us are only the latest attempts to persecute our church. It is unfortunate that the late, beloved, and highly valued wife of Mr. Miscavige has been made subject to these hateful remarks. Bigotry of all forms shall not stand,and we hope that the federal government acknowledges our religious rights and stand against these bigoted lies thrown at us. We will fight these accusations in court, and the bigotry the media and anti Scientologist message Hollywood perpetuates of us in court as well”
One Million Crowd The Streets of Beijing in Largest Protest Since 1989
By Andrew Clark
Protesters in Beijing ignoring the smog to stand up for more rights
Historic reforms had been passed in Beijing which many believe will begin to usher in a new age in the People’s Republic, a country which had for years had gained a reputation for maintaining Orwellian policies. The reforms include expansion of the legislature into a bicameral institution and easing restrictions against religion. The policies have spurred protests in Beijing, with many youth movements calling on for larger representation in the newly created lower house in the National People’s Congress, end the “Great Firewall” and similar censorship acts, allow for private individuals to exercise greater control over the economy with less government oversight, more anti-corruption reforms, and freedom to exercise speech better. With rumors of bubbles and debt filling the exchange centers of China, and with tensions in Southeast Asia rising and India becoming more wary of their northern neighbors, it can be hard to guess if the reforms can do more good than bad to the nation.

”I love democracy” Maduro states as PSUV maintains strength in National Assembly, passes reforms
By Juan Robelesl
Maduro has a laugh
Following a meeting with American President Stewart, Maduro held parliamentary elections which saw the PSUV maintain its strength in the National Assembly. The parliamentary elections have been heavily criticized by NGOs, who claim that they were restricted in where they can go. Human Rights Watch criticized President Stewart of being “too easy” on Maduro, and have accused the NGOs responsible for monitoring the elections of incompetence. Meanwhile multiple electoral commissions also raised alarms to the suspicious death of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, who according to government officials, committed suicide by “shooting himself in the head with an Uzi”. How Lopez acquired the submachine gun to commit suicide is unknown seeing that he has been closely monitored by the government.
Dismissing criticism regarding the validity of the parliamentary elections, Maduro and the National Assembly passed a series of reforms which ended the government’s total control over food distribution, allow the United Nations to help the Bolivarian government construct hospitals and produce pharmaceutical supplies, and more noticeably, has announced that it will begin using the yuan and the euro in official currency and international exchange transactions. Maduro in fact has announced that Venezuela will inject around 2 billion euros into the economy, as well as allow the banking sector to participate in currency auctions around 4 times a week. The most notable of the reforms include Venezuela floating the Bolivar, and has asked for investments from the Chinese. Furthermore, Maduro has announced that he seeks to meet with the Chinese to discuss a possibility of joint economic cooperation in order to alleviate the conditions of many Venezuelans and improve access to much needed goods. Currently, Cuba has been the major supplier of food and pharmaceutical aid to Venezuela, and is helping Venezuela develop its agricultural sector. Further reforms have been passed that will ease price controls as well.
In unrelated news, the Defense Minister has issued a statement accusing the government of Guyana being complicit in smuggling drugs into Venezuela. The Venezuelan military is increasing its presence along the internationally recognized border between the two nations to combat the alleged smugglers.
Reformation of NATO brings sparks of protests
By Jeramy Hudsenl
People march in protest against NATO
After the announcement to reform the North Atlantic Treaty Organization many expected it would bring an era of rise for the awakening American Superpower, but many do not see it in the same light. Many anti-globalist and several other groups joined in protest against NATO’s reformation, calling it “pointless”, “unnecessary”, and “Against the will of the American people”. Many call for its immediate end, not wishing to pay for a foreign nation’s defense or for sending our boys abroad.
An organizer of the protest, a supporter of former President Dean Hampton, calls “For the American people to rise up against Steward for his globalist policies, endangerment of our young boys, and his wasteful spending.” Many see this as another obstacle to the Stewart Administration, that they must overcome.
But it isn’t only America that these protests are spread in, across Europe many citizens of their respective countries are taking to the streets. Many signs reading, “NATO was the knife in our backs, and it will be a bullet this time” to show their disapproval. In Estonia, the people chant “Remember Virumaa! Remember Virumaa!” Which has quickly been picked up by Anti-American, Pan-European Nationalist groups which cry out for the European Union’s independence and restoration of CESDOT. All of which has been brought together into an Estonian base organization known as, “Euroopa tugev, edasi-tagasi üksi” or “Europe Strong, Forward Alone” organizing mass protests across the EU and even been talks of becoming a major political party on the European Parliament. This could be a beginning, of a major rise of nationalism in Europe.
Commercial Space Sector Calls for Government Support
By Jeramy Hudsenl
An Electron rocket from Rocket Labs readies for launch in New Zealand
Major international launch providers have penned a joint letter to the global community for more government support in the final frontier. Companies and industry organisations ranging from the Commercial Space Federation to China’s Line Space have all felt their profit margins stretched to the breaking point as governments increasingly focus their attention beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Many industry analysts offer a grim analysis of the sector where many different providers are maintained by individual nations due to their strategic value, saturating the commercial launch sector. The global boom in Space startups including Blue Origin, Rocket Labs and SpaceX in the 2010s has been highlighted as the primary cause for this oversaturation. An unnamed industry source explained that there are simply not enough large commercial launches to support the entire industry, and that as both America and Europe have focused on missions to the Moon and Mars, private companies have found themselves rapidly losing business. However, critics of this view have pointed to the success of small satellite launch vehicles such as the Electron rocket from New Zealand-American company Rocket Labs, which has seen a steady increase in launch reservations thanks to the popularity of cubesats and smaller missions organised by universities and non-major space faring countries.
Regardless, investors have begun to show their skittishness with the industry as major launch provider stocks struggle to keep up with indexed growth. Many point to the rapidly approaching decommissioning of the ISS as the hit that will sink many industry giants, with fear over the loss of the bulk of government contracts causing some to call for an extension of its mission.
Algeria Mobilises, Demands Ceasefire Between Morocco and the Polisario
By Frank Ernest
Algerian Soldiers on High Alert at The Border
With the Second Saharan War raging on between the Moroccan Military and Polisario Front, one of the most important international observers has been the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, the main ally of the Polisario Front and Morocco's regional counterweight. Algeria was the first to condemn the Moroccan actions when the war first started and has served as the main recipient of SADR refugees. However, after nearly a year and a half of continual calls for ceasefire between the two sides, they finally decided to increase their pressure on Morocco with threats of intervention. On Saturday, the Algerian President Ouyahia Ahmed announced that unless Morocco pulls it’s forces back to the former ceasefire line, they would begin to support their allies with direct military assistance.
The Moroccan fighter pilot was detained by Algerian soldiers and was moved to the Algiers General Hospital after a medical exam in Tindouf found that his legs and two ribs had been broken in the crash, all under heavy guard. Algeria says the pilot will be released if Morocco adheres to their demands.
U.N. investigation into Sino-Indian naval “Gulf of Aden battle” finds that Chinese naval officer ordered attack
By Eric Lee Jones
Following a violent confrontation between the Chinese and Indian navies at the Gulf of Aden which resulted in the deaths of 10 UN peacekeepers and 23 Indian and Chinese sailors, the United Nations had opened an investigation into the violent confrontation. The three month long investigation concluded with a statement condemning Captain Yuhan Jang for his reckless action leading to 33 people killed in the brief “battle”. News of the battle back in both China and India has flared up the rivalry between the two regional powers of Asia as well as irredentist claims. In India, many opposition factions have criticized Prime Minister Gulati’s previous deals with China, such as accepting aid for infrastructure projects, and have called for a show of force near Aksai Chin, disputed territory between the two nations but controlled by China. In China, the battle has gotten many in the party demanding that the PLA must reinforce their claims over Arunachal Pradesh, specifically in their territory they consider as “South Tibet”.
A new force in American politics?
By Amanda Jonson
As polls closed across the nation, the bipartisan Hampton Caucus has risen as a vocal critic to the administration’s foreign policy.
As the Democrats applaud themselves for seeing off a Red Wave in this year’s midterms, many of Stewart’s supporters are beginning to sound the alarm as Hampton Caucus candidates claim numerous seats across the country. Announced in the build-up to the election, the Hampton Caucus stunned both GOP and DNC leadership as sitting representatives in both parties sought to distance themselves from Stewart’s policies of globalisation and intervention. Made up of members who often vehemently disagree of domestic issues, the Hampton Caucus nevertheless threatens to present a united voting bloc on issues related to foreign policy and already proved to be a force during the election. Campaign ads bankrolled by the Caucus and supportive PACs tapped into anger at the reformation of NATO as well as fears about the recent signature of free-trade agreements with both the EU and China.
Highlighting concerns that the new trade deals will see an exodus of American jobs, Hampton Caucus candidates saw successful support from blue collar Americans throughout the midwest, as well from liberal voters worried about being dragged into a conflict in Europe. However, the White House must draw some comfort from the high turnout from the Democratic base, which ensured that they retained control of the House for the next two years. But some political analysts, caution against unbridled optimism for the party. Emboldened by the turnout, the Democratic base are growing increasingly impatient for results from their party’s secure majority. Many new democratic congressmen were elected on platforms for social change, with competitive primaries threatening to pull the party further to the left. It remains to be seen how this new wave of progressive American politicians interact with President Stewart and his Blue Dog style of policy-making, with some commentators warning of possible infighting within the DNC.
Sarawak Independence Movement pushes Southeast Asia to “Edge of Chaos”
By Achmed Bihar
Rebel soldiers somewhere in the jungles of Sarawak
Sarawak, located in East Malaysia, is a resource rich state of Malaysia, notable for its high population of Christians and a vibrant history, had declared independence, with 1500 soldiers stationed in Sarawak defecting to the independence movement, and 5000 militia forced being raised to supplement the rebellion. The declaration had been building up from decades oppression and Malaysia's relative failure in maintaining its promise of autonomy regarding Sarawak. The declaration of independence, many Asian experts agree, can spell bad news for the territorial integrity for other autonomous communities in Malaysia as well as in neighboring Southeast Asian country Indonesia, which has recently undergone massive political and social changes along with having minor secessionist movements which can threaten to snowball into larger rebellions. Western New Guinea alone is facing a rise in Papuan nationalism, with reports of Indonesian Papuans traveling to Papua New Guinea to assist the Papuan government in combating the increasing tribal conflict there (the Papuan government denies these claims).
As Sarawak claws for recognition and support in the international stage, the independence movement found herself lucky in a meeting in Washington D.C. where many global powers, including the United States, China, and Russia expressed interest in supporting the results of a possible referendum which will decide whether an independent Sarawak is born, or if they are to remain a Malaysian subject. The idea of a referendum, largely accepted by many Sarawakians, has been rejected by Malaysia entirely, with the Prime Minister of Malaysia being caught referring to the independence movement as a group of “headhunting terrorists that need the civilizing hand of Malaysia”.
Besides using insults based off of stereotypes of Dayaks (the majority ethnic group in Sarawak), the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (the monarch of Malaysia) along with the declared a state of emergency in East Malaysia, and is desperately mobilizing whatever of the military it can to confront the rebels. As of now, the Malaysian government has stated that they are sending a “fleet of planes” filled with government officials to Kuching International Airport, where the Malaysian government has offered rebel leaders to meet with Malaysian officials to negotiate a peaceful surrender of the rebels with promises of “increased autonomy”.
In regards of foreign support for a referendum in Sarawak, the Malaysian foreign ministry has issued the following statement:
“It is unfortunate, that the many nations which we have long considered as allies seeks to abandon us and leave us to our own mechanics when our people are confronted with the threat of rebellion at the hands of radical terrorists. It should be duly noted that Malaysia has historically stood in cooperation with the West regarding terrorist threats, and has cooperated with Western security forces multiple times in our shared view of a peaceful, tolerant world. It is horrendous that those we consider allies believe it is justifiable to support giving a voice to the rebellious terror movement threatening the economic, territorial, and political integrity of Malaysia. To dignify such a movement with calls for ‘referendum’ is disgusting, and shows the true colors of the West. Malaysia will hereby increase tariffs by 5% on goods coming from the United States, Russia, China, and any other nation which is found in any way supporting a ‘referendum’ or providing other means of support for Sarawakian rebels”
Meanwhile, the announcement of independence in Sarawak has led to increasing police presence and the issuing of a curfew in nearby the nearby state of Sabah, causing tensions to rise there as well. So far 130 pro-Malaysian soldiers have been killed along with 70 Sarawakian secessionists since fighting has begun. Most of the fighting is concentrated in the city of Kuching, with rebels and government forces engaging in a “turf war”. The city of Miri, which borders Brunei, is at the tipping point of the conflict.
120 killed in massive riots in Bahrain which threaten to usurp the Saudi-backed monarchy
By Erica Sins
Protestors marching the streets of Bahrain
The 2011 Bahraini uprising was one of the many Arab Spring uprisings generally agreed upon by many as a failure. After the Saudis provided assistance against the Shia protestors, the Sunni-minority government followed the orders of King Hamad and proceeded to begin the silencing of the Shia majority in the country. This persecution began with the arrests and raids of prominent Shiite clerics, tortured and made prominent opposition leaders “disappear”, and destroyed multiple Shia mosques in the small island country. The Bahraini government has also been accused of “importing” Sunni immigrants and granting them citizenship in an attempt to make the Sunni population larger and to minimize the size of the Shia majority.
Despite all their best efforts, the Shia majority once again took the streets, demanding the end of the persecution and for the implementation of democracy. Protests turned violent in the Pearl Roundabout, where police forces and protestors clashed, leaving around 120 dead in the country’s capital. Protestors have also captured Al-Sakhir Palace, and has become the base for the “Resistance”.
NATO officials, the BTO, and Middle East experts have expressed fear regarding the protests, citing that vessels from Iran have been seen docking in multiple ports and providing protestors with weapons, though the Iranian government has profusely denied this. Worse still for many, the Hezbollah Al-Hejaz is experiencing a rise in popularity among the opposition, and is being considered by many protestors as “the final hope” against the Sunni monarchy. Just a few days ago, Hezbollah Al-Hejaz led an armed march along the King Fahd Causeway, which connects Saudi Arabia and Bahrain together. As of now, it is impossible for aid from Saudi Arabia to reach Bahrain via the Causeway and via landings at ports, since Hezbollah Al-Hejaz has successfully coordinated protests in major ports in the country. Many in the West also fear that should Hezbollah Al-Hejaz gain power, they will revamp many economic policies including the Bahrain-United States Free Trade Agreement, and become a close ally of Iran. Iran has denied providing direct or indirect support to Hezbollah Al-Hejaz.
Latvian Referendum Successful, KPV-LV gains 55 seats amid anti-ethnic Russian sentiment
By Natalia Propostinka
Banner of the KPV-LV
Following the Russian “intervention” in northern Kazakhstan as well as the announcement of a merger between CSTO and SCO, sentiment against ethnic Russians have been increasing throughout the former Soviet states since intervention in Kazakhstan had begun. Multiple Russian speakers in southern Latvia have seen protests against them in their streets, and an increase in hate crimes since the referendum went through has been reported. Besides Russian actions, the victory has been attributed to infighting in the Social Democratic Party as well as the media’s successful smear campaign mocking President Julija Stepanenko’s attempts at combating corruption.The party ran on a populist message of taking a harsh stance on corruption in Latvia and enforcing a strict Latvian identity, promising to assimilate the ethnic minorities in Latvia and make schools which teach in Russian teach in Latvian instead. It is not certain if the KPV-LV is capable of carrying out all of it’s promises due to only controlling 55 seats in Parliament.
Protests plague Northern Guatemala
By Chloe Dominique
Families carry their slain relatives to be buried
The current President of Guatemala and his cabinet have been known to have a history of genocide against the Ixil community during the Guatemalan Civil War. The tensions between the government and the Ixil community in Northern Guatemala reignited when the President, believing the indigenous community to be involved in drug trafficking, ordered the police to “do whatever is necessary” to quell the supposed smuggling which the President alleges the Ixil people regularly commit.
Already, 70 people have been killed in North Guatemala as the police begin shooting anyone they deemed to be involved in drug smuggling. 35 of those killed were under 18. The government claims that crime is decreasing nationwide, though international organizations claim otherwise.
Sino-Myanmar relations threatened by ethnic Chinese secessionist group
By Ho Dang
Ethnic Chinese minority soldier in Kokang, Myanmar
Since her inception, Myanmar has been plagued with secessionist movements from practically every corner of the country. From Christian secessionists to Muslim ones, Myanmar has them all. In the northern part of the country resides the Kokang people, people who have settled in the region centuries ago, but retained their Chinese heritage. And, since the founding of Myanmar, the ethnic minority has fought vigorously to unite with the Chinese mainland. In 2015, the Tatmadaw (military of Myanmar) led a successful operation against the secessionist movement, but due to rising regionalist and nationalist sentiment rising worldwide, especially in Southeast Asia, the Kokang rebellion has once again reignited, being led by under the command of a former Communist Party Secretary of Xinjiang Chen Quanguo.
The Myanmar government has requested that the PRC prosecute Chen Quanguo and assist in fighting the ethnic Chinese rebels, though many politicians in Myanmar are not certain if China will accept the offer, seeing that the region is populated by 90% ethnic Han Chinese. Currently, the region Kokang acts as a buffer between Yunnan, China, and the Shan States in Myanmar.
