CERFBEER RECALLS AMBASSADOR, ISSUES WARNING OVER NORTH ICADANIA
The embassy in Marsari will remain open despite the chaos



Image

Chancellor Matthias Cerfbeer is following suit with multiple international governments as the civil unrest in North Icadania escalates. The ambassador to the nation has been recalled, although the Jyau embassy in Marsari remains open. The embassy's staff of 72 people has been set on high alert and the facility's security of 6 is posed to protect the occupants in case of a severe escalation. The temperament of the Jyau Foreign Ministry is that Chancellor Rousillis is holding onto power through his implementation of the martial law, which has led to widespread protests in the country.

Demonstrations and the clashes that followed yesterday left over 50 people dead in the North Icadanian capital of Marsari. The decision to leave the embassy open in Marsari despite the violence is being met with mixed reactions by Jyau politicians and the public alike.

Jyau's Foreign Ministry has ordered that all physical diplomatic contact with Chancellor Rousillis and North Icadanian government officials should be halted for the time being, while it is imperative to keep channels of discussion open. The crisis, according to a memo from the foreign ministry, is particularly concerning as the tensions in that particular region of Nortua is unstable. The ceasefire in place surrounding the conflict in bordering Syraranto has held firm, albeit with inconsistent clashes. The worry is that the current set of violence in North Icadania will spike into a full blown conflict if it does not subside.

The focus of his Besmenia visit, which lasts until Tuesday, is the signing of the new joint free trade agreement ''Besmenian-Emmirian Free Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement'' (BEFTEPA), visits by Sulaiman to some Besmenian cities and sights and a visit to celebrate the Liberation Day on June 7th at the West Besmenian Memorial in Melmingia.

After Sulaiman arrived at Heinz Dimmler International Airport in Laitstadt on late Friday morning with the Emmirian presidential plane, he was greeted by Prime Minster Richard Benkel and Foreign Minister Johanna Mehrmann.

The joint Besmenian-Emmirian free trade agreement was negotiated during a total of nine rounds of negotiations between February 2019 and the December 2020. The free trade agreement is primarily intended to strengthen relations between the two countries. ''BEFTEPA'' is expected to come into effect on August 1, 2021 after being signed. After the signing, a joint dinner with Besmenian and Emmirian specialties took place.

On Saturday and Sunday, Sulaiman and President Vincent von Schilling were traveling through various cities and places in Besmenia. For example, von Schilling and Sulaiman visited the Martin Beiter Tower and the Federal Chamber in Laitstadt. They also visited the Heudeberg Memorial Labor Camp in North Heraldsteinland and the Summingian Forest.

A visit to the West Besmenian Memorial in Melmingen is planned for Monday and Sulaiman's last day of stay in Besmenia on the occasion of the celebration of Liberation Day and the 55th anniversary of the end of the West Besmenian Revolution.

Trade with Xenick and Yuan commences, materials used to supply HHH
Image

Without external heavy metal and supply, the HHH and economy would never get off the ground according to economists worldwide. Yuan, a nation rich in gas and minerals, both of which Southern Xenick had no large abundance of. President Bobbo said "Imports from nations will be able to provide us the materials and gas we need." in a press conference surrounding the insecurities of the HHH, much to the annoyance of isolationist groups, not eager to enter Yuan-Belereskov tension issues. The president assured the populace that Xenick, again, had no intention of embedding themselves in wider and dangerous geopolitics, but skeptics pointed out that an economic deal as large as Bobbo was planning could bring unwanted attention for the fact that the shipments would be noticed, and possibly addressed as to commit a form of political and economic murder against a nations foes. The orders placed would be primarily oil, steel, cloth, and chromium as well as other minerals for the nation, but the government has said that if the shipments are not sufficient due to growing demand for materials to feed the economy, Xenick may consider multi-faction trade, appearing as a neutral economically interested nation. This pleased the war fearing populace, and police reported that isolationist protest were smaller and less frequent following the move. President Bobbo stated that he is ready to pursue freindly relations with Yuan, and Xenick still remains open to trade on an international scale, inviting other nations to deal with Xenickese. Additionally, the move has angered civil rights movements in Xenick, calling attention to Yuans various human and civil rights abuses, and calling to an end to trade with them in large protests. The police responded in kind, and the weeks news was pockmarked with clashes between politically actiivist and law enforcment factions, leaving 3 dead after police opened fire on the activists in a freedom loving north. Xenickese flags were held at half staff following the shooting, and police began withdrawing from the protests. But according to economist Danny DeVito, trade with Yuan had to continue, or a more strict in laws and rights Zamastan would have to fill a void, but mo agrrement or contact with Zamastan had been established, which made the second option far too long and difficult. The government has urged the protesters to go home, to avoid violence in the streets. The trade however, still continues, and the HHH initiative has picked up the pace with the new income, and poverty continues to fall, leading thousands to join high paying jobs and to accumulate wealth.

June 7

Ledyanaya-
Several Ledyanayan tribal leaders have been arrested in connection to the attacks on military outposts in the region that have occured recently, Pashka Sokolov, Director of the DOB, has stated that the DOB simply wishes to question these leaders on the attacks, and that them actually being convicted is “Very unlikely, and a worst case scenario”, despite this there has still been a massive backlash by citizens in the Ledyanayan region, with Slavic troops sent to keep the region under control being harassed, being called names and having rocks thrown at them among other things.

MOREAU TRAVELS TO QOLAYSIA, MEETS WITH KENNARD


Image
President Abiel Kennard of Qolaysia (left) and President Atticus Moreau of Zamastan (right) meet in Leonrau, Qolaysia

LEONRAU - President Atticus Moreau started off his state-visit to Qolaysia by meeting with President Abiel Kennard in the Golden Residence in the Qolaysian capital of Leonrau. The two heads of state, in their first one-on-one meeting since Moreau took office, discussed the ongoing tensions in Southern Adula, military buildup from multiple states, and further prospects of economic cooperation.

Moreau's meeting with Kennard has been met with much skeptism and controversy surrounding multiple aspects, including Moreau's past condemnations of Kennard. Kennard has been embattled with legal battles and civil discourse for the past several months following an attempted coup in November of 2020 which instated a period of demonstrations against his administration, some of which turned deadly. After Kennard endorsed a constitutional amendment which abolished the influence of the military in government affairs (which occured after the military-backed coup attempt), massive protests erupted across the country, and authorities responded with force in multiple cases, leading to dozens of deaths.

Kennard has also been criticized in recent months as the peace talks with long-term adversary Togaria stunted in Buena Vera, Artegana. Qolaysian and Togarian forces had been in a state of low-level conflict for over a decade with disputes around economic zones in the hotly tested Togana Island. Thousands of people, both soldiers and civilian, have been killed in the conflict. International intervention and economic investment by nations like Drambenburg and Zalluabed helped shift the conflict in Qolaysia's favor, instituting Kennard's authority over the peace talks which recently concluded with massive Togarian concessions.

Kennard has also been embroiled in a corruption scandal, as an investment fund traced nearly Z$700 million of deposits into what they believe are the personal bank accounts of President Abiel Kennard, according to documents from a Qolaysian government probe. The investigation documents mark the first time Mr. Kennard has been directly connected to the probes into state investment fund 1Qolaysia Development Bhd., or 1QDB. Mr. Kennard, who founded 1QDB and heads its board of advisors, has been under growing political pressure over the fund, which amassed Z$11 billion in debt it is struggling to repay. The government probe documents what investigators believe to be the movement of cash among government agencies, banks and companies linked to 1QDB before it ended up in Mr. Kennard's personal accounts. Documents reviewed by The Leonrau Sun include bank transfer forms and flow charts put together by government investigators that reflect their understanding of the path of the cash.

Despite these controversies, Kennard has held onto his office and has continued to be more of a mediating force in the turbulant South Adulan region. Even as the Qolaysian government bends to greater cooperation with Drambenburg and De Yuan, Kennard continues to emphasize work with the Zamastanian government. President Moreau, who has been an advocate for greater international cooperation as the Zamastanian military prepares to cut down on troop deployments, has insentivised cooperation with Qolaysia. Qolaysia regularly tops GDP statistics in Southern Adula, and Zamastanian companies generally hold the highest returns of investment in the nation's booming manufacturing and electronics industries.

"President Kennard believes, as do I," said President Moreau in the conference, "that the cooperation and benefit of our two nation's mutual work will lead to better prosperity on the global level."

REFUGEE FROM JAGINISTAN KILLED IN 'PREMEDITATED' ATTACK


Image
Anchorhead, Alenchon Police: "We believe this man was targeted because of their Islamic faith"

Anchorhead - The murder of a man who was shot in broad daylight in an Anchorhead, Alenchon suburb is being labeled as a 'premeditated' and 'Islamaphobic attack' by police, drawing in public cries for more protections for refugee populations from Muslim-majority countries in Zamastan.

Abu Iqbal, a 27-year old refugee from the central Ausianan nation of Jaginistan, was killed in a vicious attack by a man who was arrested shortly after. The attacker, whose name is being withheld due to safety concerns, reportedly committed the attack after days of stalking Iqbal and his family, leading police to call the act a premeditated hate crime. According to authorities, it is believed that the suspect "has direct ties to domestic hate groups due to social media post history."

Iqbal was shopping with his two sons, who were unharmed in the shooting. Bystanders who witnessed the shooting reported dozens of shots and chased off the attacker before police arrived at the scene and arrested him without incident. Iqbal's children are at a police safehouse with his widow and brother.

"It is believed that this victim and his family were targeted because they were Muslim," Detective Superintendent Tom Waight of the Anchorhead police told a news conference on Monday.

Abu Iqbal, his wife, brother, and two sons arrived on refugee status in Zamastan in late 2020 from Jaginistan, which has seen a long history of civil strife and violence from terrorist groups and militias vying for power. Iqbal and his family settled in the Anchorhead suburb of Dalni, roughly 20 miles south of the city center.

KENNARD WELCOMES MOREAU FOR STATE VISIT


Image

LEONRAU - President Abiel Kennard welcomed President Atticus Moreau of Zamastan in an historic state-visit of the man generally regarded as the "most powerful man in the Coalition of Crown Albatross". The two heads of state met at the Golden Residence in the capital of Leonrau to much fanfare, as Moreau pulled up with crowds roaring his welcome. After a lunch, private interaction and conversation, the two held a public conference seated for press.

Among the topics of discussion, Presidents Kennard and Moreau explored greater economic cooperation including allowing Zamastanian oil companies to invest in off-shore oil drilling programs. This raised public outcry from environmental activists who have pointed to the controversial and often ecologically-damaging policies endorsed by both Kennard and Moreau.

Meanwhile, other conversations included greater concern for military buildup in the South Adula region, including greater WEDA intervention through deployments in Saint Croix and Bens and Drambenburgian bases in Qolaysia and Zalluabed. The tensions in the region over lingering effects of the October 2020 Tarijar Strait Crisis and the attempted coup in Qolaysia, as well as the current tensions with Alecburgh, have concerned Qolaysian experts who believe Zamastanian intervention may be needed.

"President Kennard believes, as do I," said President Moreau in the conference, "that the cooperation and benefit of our two nation's mutual work will lead to better prosperity on the global level."

"I am pleased to be here with President Moreau," Kennard stated. "The partnership between Qolaysia and Zamastan is one of the strongest economic alliances and cultural interaction abilities the world knows, and our greater cooperation for future endeavors is an exciting prospect to ponder and press toward."

Yuan imposes tit-for-tat sanctions on Albarineans

Shanghan says entry bans on nine Albarineans are ‘reprisal measures’ for sanctions slapped on Yuaneze officials in March.

SAINT RANEAU - De Yuan has announced tit-for-tat sanctions against nine senior Albarinean officials, including the justice minister, following similar measures from Albarine over the treatment of communist-party critic Xuai Hanyan. The De Yuan foreign ministry said in a statement on Monday that the nine Albarineans had been banned from entering Yuan “for an undetermined period”.

The banned Albarineans include the Justice Minister, top prisons chief, and the commander of the Albarinean Forces Intelligence Command. Deputy Defence Minister Jody Tummuson was also targeted along with the head of the Albarinean National Police and her deputy. A senior army official, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, and a senior official in the office of Chancellor Melhaven, are also on the list.

Shanghan said the entry bans were “reprisal measures” for sanctions slapped on nine Albarinean officials on March 24. Albarine said at the time that its sanctions were a response to “gross” rights violations and the silencing of Xuai Hanyan, President Xi Jingyi and the Communist Party’s most outspoken domestic critic. They were also created over the treatment of Pangchu Muslims by Yuan's government.

Xuai is currently serving a two-and-a-half-year jail sentence for “parole violations”.

The Albarinean sanctions – which targeted Yuaneze officials including the head of the powerful national police – included an asset freeze.

Chancellor Melhaven has taken a hardline stance against Yuan over its human rights abuses, and while much of the international community has done the same, Albarine's government has been pointed out as sanctioning further than most which has been called a "risky move" due to Albarine's high dependency on international trade.
OYE! I'm Albarine :)

THE ACADRE TRIBUNE
TROOPS WITHDRAW FROM WEST CHANCHAJILLA

Parabocan forces at Omi Central Base celebrate the announcement of the end of their deployment


Nearly two months after the fall of Ivora and the conclusion of combat operations in West Chanchajilla, Parabocan forces are withdrawing from the country.

President Garr'n Cardoza announced on Monday that Parabocan troops would withdraw from West Chanchajilla by the end of June, sooner than expected as the East Chanchajillan-led coalition occupation and reconstruction mission has been proceeding more effectively than experts predicted.

Insurgencies are basically non-existent according to military sources, with only minor flareups of pro-regime demonstrations having occured since the fall of the capital, but without casualties of any sort. The allowance of free speech and demonstrations in the coalition occupation has largely resulted in quelled tensions, which has also allowed the coalition to detain and prepare prosecution of former regime leaders with ease.

Parabocan forces joined the Eastern troops in the combat operations on March 22nd, 2021, in order to remove Frederick Armbar and his regime out of power and instill a democratic process in the suffering central Euronian nation. After the death of Frederick Armbar in April, the fall of regime forces was seen as an inevitability, and occurred less than a week later as Ivora fell to the coalition. During the course of the fighting, 436 Parabocan troops were killed, the largest loss of life in Parabocan military deployment since federalization in 1910.

Despite the large loss of life to the Parabocan deployment, which largely occurred in the fight for Ivora (80% of casualties occurred during the battle), public opinion of the intervention was highly positive, with 73% of those polled stating it was necessary and moral to topple the Armbar regime.

Troop withdrawal will be finished by the end of June, according to military officials. During the remainder of the time in West Chanchajilla, Parabocan troops will continue to participate in peacekeeping, rebuilding, and humanitarian aid distribution.

THE KOSSMIL PAPER


CHANCELLOR MATTHIAS CERFBEER OF JYAU VISITED KOSSMIL


Date- 8 June 2021

DABATTA- Chancellor Matthias Cerfbeer of Jyau has visited Kossmil today to meet up with President Nikolai Cherdenko after agreeing a couple of trade deals between both nations and also agreeing on infrastructure investment on improving Kossmil roads especially on the main motorways. The trade deals will contain the trading and selling of agriculture products, coal, fish, lumber products and meats. There was also agreement on cooperation between the Kossmil Navy and the Jyau Navy with teaching exercises and patrols on both Kossmil waters and Jyau waters.

When both leaders met for the first time it was a very positive and friendly experience with both leaders shaking hands while smiling, Chancellor Cerfbeer pulled a quick joke about the Kossmil national football team being knocked out of the world cup in Sufia by the Jyau national football team. They also visit the memorial for the victims of the metro bombing attacks to show respect for the falling, President Cherdenko and Chancellor Cerfbeer later on today start talking about the trade deals and they talk about the situation in North Icadania which shows no sign of ending soon. Kossmil has not currently opened diplomatic relations with North Icadania but they won’t give their opinion on the situation.

A statement was released by President Cherdenko today which he praised outcome of the visit and he also praised Chancellor Cerfbeer on wanting to work with Kossmil, “I’m very happy that I and Chancellor Cerfbeer are still working together to continue the great relationship between Jyau and Kossmil, this friendship will last for ages. I respect Cerfbeer a lot on working with us and this will benefits both nations very well.” Chancellor Cerfbeer also released his statement in which he says "I'm very pleased to be here today with President Cherdenko, and I know that the continued relationship between Kossmil and Jyau governments will continue to be prosperous."

CERFBEER MEETS WITH PRESIDENT CHERDENKO IN KOSSMIL
Cherdenko, who took office after the assassination of President Kuznetsov, welcomed the Jyau Chancellor to Dabatta

Chancellor Cerfbeer speaks to reporters during his visit to Dabatta, Kossmil

Chancellor Matthias Cerfbeer visited the neighboring nation of Kossmil on Tuesday to meet with President Nikolai Cherdenko, the freshly minted politician who took office after the tragic assassination of President Mikhail Kuznetsov. The two heads of state, in their first ever meeting, discussed the new round of trade agreements between the two nations and searched for greater cooperation on infrastructure projects. Increased economic deals include the import-export arrangements of agricultural products, mineral resources, and forestry sector industry goods.

Noting the great deal of cultural and historically shared connection between the nations of Jyau and Kossmil, the two leaders recognized the importance of the relationship and enduring alliance of Kossmil. The two leaders paid tribute to the victims of the Dabatta metro bombing at the newly unveiled memorial at the site of the attacks, which sent shockwaves internationally and especially in the public of the Jyaueze people. In another sense of shared good relations, the two joked about the rival national football teams which went head to head in last month's World Cup in Sulifa, which say Jyau triumphing over the Kossmil national team.

Additionally, the two leaders discussed the growing crisis in North Icadania over the continued tension of intense demonstrations over martial law restrictions. Jyau's policy has been strict, with Cerfbeer having recalled the ambassador to the country out of concern for safety. Kossmil's government has not enacted similar policies but has issued a warning for the safety of citizens and demonstrators.

RHAGA TRIBUNE
EMMIRIA-BESMENIA SUMMIT
The conference, which started on Friday, concluded on Tuesday with major developments

Besmenia PM Richard Benkel and Emmirian President Akram Sulaiman in the Federal House, Laitstadt.

LAITSTADT - President Akram Sulaiman is en-route returning to Rhaga following a four-day summit in Besmenien where he met with many key politicians and government leaders. After multiple meetings with Prime Minister Richard Benkel and President Vincent von Schilling, Sulaiman signed onto new agreements with the Besmenians that will progress the economic cooperation of the two powerhouses. Emmiria, the largest economy in Adula, and Besmenia, which is one of the three largest economies in Nortua, have a history of interaction, but the summit this weekend has drawn the two nations into closer partnership.

The focus of the visit was the signing of the long-anticipated BEFTEPA Treaty; the ''Besmenian-Emmirian Free Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement'', which allows for more intensive import-export opportunities for both nation's industries, as well as new investment opportunities to boost the stock market prospects of Besmenian and Emmirian companies. The agreement, which has been in drafting stages since early 2019, was finally agreed to in a final round of negotiations in December of 2020, and has now been signed as part of the official state visit.

Sulaiman also participated in a state dinner with Besmenian legislators and ministers, participated in June 7th Liberation Day celebrations in Melmingia, and visited multiple sites throughout the country. Among the sites visited were the Martin Beirer Tower, the Federal Chamber, the Heudeberg Memorial Labor Camp, and the Summingian Forest. On his final day in Besmenia, Sulaiman visited the West Besmenian Memorial, where he delivered a speech to commemorate the 55th Liberation Day and the cooperation between Emmiria and Besmenia.

"Besmenia and Emmiria are major powers on the world stage," Sulaiman said in the speech, "in terms of economics, culture, and our armed forces, our cooperation is a prosperous one. Our alliance is a beneficial one. Not just to our people, but to our allies. Besmenia is a land of amazing people who have endured history of hardship as well as history of thriving success. It is an honor to be among you."

He continued to say that the BEFTEPA Treaty and its signing marked a "significant milestone" in the alliance between the two nations, and that future endeavors between the two nations was an exciting thought to prospect.

"Our scientific minds, our economic geniuses, and our great people will continue to show the world that our friendship is among the greatest the world has ever known," Sulaiman closed.

LIVE: ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON PRESIDENT AL-AKHTAR
A group of gunmen shot at President al-Akhtar during a speech in Zakaraban

President Zayyaan al-Akhtar has been hospitalized and is reportedly in stable condition following an assassination attempt which left him injured with multiple gunshot wounds.

During a political rally in downtown Zakaraban, a group of gunmen began opening fire on the President, bodyguards, and people in the crowd. Four people in the crowd were killed, and all three attackers were killed by responding bodyguards. Multiple cabinet ministers were also injured in the attack, as was a bodyguard.

The President was rushed to the closest hospital in Zakaraban, where he underwent emergency surgery. Zayyaan al-Akhtar, who is 75 years old, has had a history of medical complications, but is expected to make a full recovery.

The gunmen, who have been identified by the National Security Bureau of Zalluabed but with their names being withheld due to the ongoing investigation, were reportedly members of a separatist insurgent group in Hisrea Province whom the Zalluabedi army had been fighting for months before they withdrew due to the scrutiny from international observers who labeled the campaign as a "genocide".

JANWARKAN COASTAL
The Janapa Maritime Authority is Making Strides in the Albarine Sea Shipping Market


Image

By investing in quality of service, a critical element to win over the ever demanding Albarine Sea shipping community and led by capable and maritime-savvy professionals like Mr. Dimitri Fiysana of Alcarres, the Janapa Maritime Authority has managed to gain a significant foothold of the ship-owning market. As a result, today, JMA is a member of the top 10 of the biggest ship registries globally, boasting of an excellent track record and a growing customer base.

Today, JMA has offices domestically, as well as abroad in Tregueux, Zamastan, Valengy, Alcarres, Courbagne, New Elkland, and Buena Vera, Artegana. All offices provide 24-hour a day service and are committed to helping the registry’s clients to deal with a growing number of compliance issues, surveys and inspections. According to Mr. Fiysana, Janapa Maritime Authority’s Regional Director Albarine Sea, “even before the pandemic struck, the JMA was looking to adopt new technology and had already started looking for new ways to help our customers, particularly in the areas of electronic certifications and online applications. As was expected, the crisis and tension in the region acted as an accelerator of these processes, as we had to adapt promptly to the new challenges which arose. The main goal was to keep our services uninterrupted throughout the year”, says Mr. Fiysana.

It’s worth noting that the Janapa Maritime Authority (JMA), has developed, already since 10 years ago, a new online system to its Registered Owners and ISM Managers, or their duly authorized Manning Agents, to submit applications for seafarers’ documentation electronically. This environmentally friendly process enabled us to offer our customers online applications for Janapan Flag State Endorsements and Seaman’s Record Book for seafarers of Janapan registered ships and for new applicants about to join a Janapan-flagged vessel.

This new system also allowed for the provision of Confirmation Receipt of Application (CRA) for Flag State Endorsement on a 24-hour basis, 7-days a week. Mr. Fiysana says that “shortly after this new online system for seafarer applications, we further expanded our online system to include other ship registration services and introduced our Janapa Online Registration Information System (JORIS), while last year this was further enhanced, via the inclusion of the ability to complete a registration application, invoice payment and certificate verification, check and reserve a vessel name”.

As a result, users don’t have to enter ship data repeatedly on registration forms. This user-friendly system is widely appreciated by clients globally. This systems is continually being updated and enhanced with new services, while JMA recently announced that its full array of ship certificates and documentation are now available electronically. The ongoing and everchanging military tensions in the region and progressive political shifts accelerated this process and has shown that the use of technology is the way forward for owners and registries alike.

One of the latest initiatives undertaken by the Janapan Maritime Authority (JMA) revolves around seafarers. JMA has announced a new survey, the Seafarer Crisis Welfare Survey, designed to capture and reflect the mental health needs of seafarers around the world during the tense events of sea travel, such as the Tarijar Strait Crisis. This initiative, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Janapa School of Public Health, manifests itself as a short, online survey open to any and every seafarer.

ILHAVEIA TRIBUNE
--------------------------------------------------
Lutharia Marks 70 Years Since the End of Siege of Ilhaveia
The violent siege ultimately was a Zamastanian victory, following months of brutal fighting


Image

President Baldur Hirschl spoke at a memorial for the Siege of Ilhaveia, 70 years marked since its climactic end. During the World War, Drambenburgian forces had initially occupied the city. On April 7th, 1951, they were pushed out by Zamastanian troops, but a counter attack by the Drambenburgians led to an extensive and deadly siege. The siege resulted in the deaths of over 12,000 Zamastanian soldiers, as well as thousands of Lutharian resistance fighters defending the city against the Drambenburgians. Reinforcements pushed Drambenburgians out of the city on June 14th, 1951, but the city lay largely in ruins.

"We remember today the brave sacrifice these men paid in the defense of our beautiful and remarkable country," Hirschl remarked. "Their enduring legacy is a mark of momentous pride we feel as Lutharians. We live in a better world now, where Zamastanians, Drambenburgians, and people of all nations call Ilhaveia their home."

The nation's flags have been lowered to commemorate the day, and the armed forces have been ordered to ceremonial roles for the remainder of the week.

YUAN RELEASES ZAMASTANIAN JOURNALIST AFTER 3 YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT


Image
Zhang Lei, a journalist from the Shanghan Correspondent Free Press (SCFP), had been incarcerated in Yuan since February of 2018.

TOFINO - President Moreau announced that the Zamastanian and De Yuaneze governments had reached an agreement that led to the release of Zhang Lei, a journalist who had been imprisoned in Yuan for over three years. Zhang Lei, a publicist for the Shanghan Correspondent Free Press, had been arrested in February of 2018 in the city of Xiani after Yuaneze authorities accused him of tampering with security cameras, releasing a document of the Communist Party, and espionage. The Yuaneze government, in its bout of secrecy, had never produced evidence to the accusations, but sentenced Lei to 60 years in prison.

Zhang Lei, a Zamastanian citizen with Yuaneze descent, was a publicist for the SCFP, which operates as a "unofficial, freedom-loving" online forum that often critiques the conduct of the Yuaneze government in its articles. The criticism that the publishments send towards the Yuaneze government has caused it to be censored throughout the country, but it still gets wide amounts of interaction internationally with its online reach.

Lei has been released from an institution in Xiani and has been flown back to Zamastan. It is believed that he experienced cases of torture during his imprisonment. Accused of surveilance tampering, as well as releasing a document of the Communist Party to the SCFP (which the Yuaneze government labeled as trading state secrets to foreign factions), he was placed in solitary confinement for the majority of his three years incarcerated.

The release was organized after the Zamastanian and Yuaneze representatives agreed to stave some economic sanctions on steel and aluminum, which have been in place during the tit-for-tat trade war which has existed since 2015. The Yuaneze government also made the stipulation that Zamastan's State Department would lift sanctions on President Xi Jingyi, which was agreed to.

ZIAN AIRWAYS FLIGHT DIVERTED FOLLOWING BOMB THREAT


Image
Flight 6121 was diverted mid-flight from Emerald to Tofino, landing at a small regional airport south of Elkford. After an inspection, the flight continued to Tofino unabrupted.

Elkford - A routine Zian Airways commercial flight from Emerald to Tofino was diverted to a small municipal airport south of Elkford after a bomb threat was made against the flight. With 192 people aboard, the plane landed at Harris-Elkford Regional Airport, about 100 miles southeast of Tofino, and a full search of the plane was conducted. No explosives were found, and the threat was deemed non-credible. Following the inspection, the plane continued to Tofino unabrupted, and a spokesperson of Zian Airways stated that the 192 passengers would be compensated with travel vouchers and a refund for the flight.

Terroristic threats against Zamastanian planes have been made before. A string of multiple threats in the fall of 2019 led to the grounding of hundreds of domestic flights. In September of 2020, a bomb exploded aboard a Air Andaluni flight over the Olympic Ocean en route to Vongane, Quetana, with the flight having originated from Jade Harbor, Zamastan. That attack, claimed by al-Fijar, resulted in the deaths of all aboard the flight and led to a massive rehaul of Zamastan's airport security measures after it was discovered the suicide bomber had gone through checkpoints with the explosive material and was not stopped.

Zian Airways is one of the major airlines of the Zamastan and the second largest airline in the world by scheduled revenue passenger-kilometers flown, and the second-largest in terms of freight tonne kilometers flown. It is headquartered in Jade Harbor, Jade, Zamastan. The airline, along with its subsidiaries and regional affiliates, including Zian Airways Connection, operates over 36,400 flights daily and serves 725 destinations in 85 countries on all continents on Iearth. Zian Airways is a founding member of the CCA Airline Alliance.

Zian Airways has nine hubs, with Tofino International Airport in Tofino, Zian being its largest in terms of total passengers and number of departures.

TWO WEEKS AFTER COURAGE LAUNCH, ASTRONAUTS SHARE SNIPPETS OF LIFE ABOARD BLUE EAGLE


Image
Walter Cochran (Zamastan) demonstrates one of the science labs aboard the Courage flight. The Blue Eagle rocket, with 16 astronauts aboard, launched from Tregueux International Space Center. It will reach Eirus in January of 2022, effectively making humanity an interplanetary species.

Space - Twelve days after the historic launch of the Blue Eagle rocket, the culmination of decades of gruling work to get humans to Eirus, the 16 astronauts aboard are sharing exclusive footage of life aboard the space craft. The mission, named the Courage program, consistent of 16 astronauts (6 Zamastanian, the remaining 10 from Durnstaal, Vitosium, Caspiaa, Yuan, and Avergnon) will arrive at Eirus in January 2022. In footage from on board the Albatross Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), Commander Joel Simpson (Zamastan) began the broadcast with a tour of the command module.

"It's basically the size of a king-sized bed," Simpson said in the zero gravity exploration of the capsule. "The camera doesn't capture the, you know, the really incredible view of stars we have from here."

Passing the camera on to Sintia Lavaliotti (Vitosium), who showed the intricacies of crew habitability, including the sleeping docks, "toilet" area, and food reserves of the vessel.

"So, if you look at the food we eat in space, you may think it looks strange," Lavaliotti said, demonstrating how the astronauts eat. "However, it is very nutritious and pretty good, believe me. If you want to be an astronaut, just know that Dairy Cat and Pizza Queen is not something that we can get. To ensure that this food doesn't go bad, it is freeze-dried. That means freezing the food, lowering pressure as we are in space, then removing the ice by turning it into a gas. When you turn something solid like ice into a gas, it is called sublimation."

Astronauts Karsten Boyko (Durnstaal) and Ma Jing (Yuan) performed zero-gravity movements in the space of the vessel, flipping upsidedown and performing corkscrews, playing with condensed droplets of water and food floating through the space, and managing floating tools as they opened cabinets and let their contents loose.

"This is part of the fun about space," Jing said.

The video, which was transmitted live, albiet with a two-minute delay, is the farthest ever broadcast transmitted by humans. At this point in the voyage, Courage is more than 3 million miles from Iearth. Eirus is 128 million miles from Iearth, but the distance is not lost on the astronauts.

"I'm so stoked to get there," Gauti Anorsson (Caspiaa) said with excitement, elliciting a chuckle as he, in his own words, 'geeked out' about the history of the flight. "I dreamt my whole life of going to space, and since going to space I dreamt about going further than any human ever had, and now at the front of the module, I really am the farthest from Iearth that anyone has ever been."

SAINT RANEAU TIMES
Zalluabed: The mysterious deaths of the NLD party officials

Albarinean Foreign Ministry believes that the deaths of Zalluabedi NLD leaders were sanctioned by al-Akhtar

Image


Image
Protests in Zakaraban after assassination attempt of President al-Akhtar and the house arrests of multiple opposition party leaders spurred massive demonstrations.



SAINT RANEAU - The violence used by Zalluabed's armed forces against unarmed opponents and protestors over the years is perhaps no longer shocking; hundreds of people have been killed during the course of the past two years, most by military gunfire, and military campaigns against the population of the Western province of Hisrea has elicited much international condemnation. But the deaths in custody of an official from the National League of Democracy - the party led by opposition leader Lahan Majari - have cast an even grimmer light on the military's actions.

Last week, President Zayyan al-Akhtar was the victim of an assassination attempt, and senior leaders of opposition parties were put under house arrest - triggering waves of protest against the military and al-Akhtar's government. For the first couple of days the military had seemed unsure how to respond to the protests. But by the end of the week, they were using increasing levels of lethal force. By the Monday, June 15th, it was clear there would be no restraint.

More than 190 people, largely peaceful demonstrators, have been killed by government forces and the military during protests against al-Akhtar's rule. Despite his hospitalization, al-Akhtar continues to govern with strict, ironclad resolve to hold onto his position. The Albarine Foreign Ministry has likened his behavior to a fear of losing control in a coup, similar to what has occurred internationally in several instances over the past year to authoritarians, as seen in Birat, West Chanchajilla, and Syraranto. This week, activists had built barricades in some streets to keep out the security forces, and there had been several clashes.

Zakaraban, the Zalluabed capital, has a diverse population, with a large number of Muslim residents and more than 100 mosques in the city, but a significant portion of non-Muslim minorities.

In last year's general election, Kripal Keshari, one of only two Buddhist candidates fielded by NLD won the parliamentary seat there. His campaign manager was Bishal Kshetri, a veteran NLD activist who had moved to Zakaraban many years before and lived with the family of a Buddhist lawyer. He co-owned a tour company, had run a video rental shop, and had been active in the NLD since 1988, becoming the chairman of his local branch. He was a well-known and well-liked member of the community.

"He was very religious and prayed many times a day," Janak Thakur told the Saint Raneau Times from where he is now hiding from the military. "But people from all faiths loved him. He did a lot for the community, like making new green spaces for children to play in. He was very important to the NLD."

Kripal Keshari was at home with his adopted family when police and soldiers arrived shortly after 21:00 local time (14:30 GMT). The soldiers were identified by neighbours as members of the 77th Light Infantry Division, a unit notorious for human rights abuses. According to Bhim Bataju, a friend of Kripal Keshari, the soldiers were actually looking for Kapil Goudel, a lawyer who was more senior in the NLD and who had already gone into hiding. Instead, they broke into Kripal Keshari's home, he says, and dragged him out, kicking and hitting him.

Bhim Bataju believes Kripal Keshari was then taken to the neighborhood's military station. Early the next morning, Kripal Keshari's family received a phone call from police telling them to come and collect his body from a military hospital in northern Zakaraban. They were told there that he had fainted, and that they should inform people he had suffered a heart attack. But the family insists that the 58-year-old was in good health and had no known illnesses. They say his body showed signs of multiple wounds on it, and was covered in a blood-soaked cloth.

The body had been cut open and then sewn up in what may have been an autopsy, but the family has been given no official report on the cause of death. He was buried later that day in a Buddhist ceremony.

The Albarine-based human rights organization Doctors for Human Rights has examined the evidence, including photographs of Kripal Keshari's body. While it is unable to make any definitive judgements, it has concluded that the cause of death given by the military authorities is implausible, and that he is most likely to have died from "homicidal violence" while in custody.

Bhim Bataju believes he was deliberately killed. He was detained less than ten hours before his family was informed of his death; it was not the result of prolonged torture.

"I was once jailed and interrogated, so I know how they get information out of you. Maybe they believed he was connected to the Committee Representing the Tammrakar (CRT) - the rival government supported by the opposition," he said. "Maybe they were trying to get information about what the NLD is planning, or where activists were hiding?"

CANDIDATES IN W.C. REFERENDUM BEGIN THEIR CAMPAIGNS
A nationwide referendum is scheduled for August 4th, 2021

West Chanchajillans attend an election rally for PM candidate Juan Diego Barrios


VILANJA - Multiple candidates have announced their intention to run for the National Assembly referendum set for August 4th in what will be West Chanchajilla's first ever democratic election. Moderated and observed by dozens of nations under the Coalition of Crown Albatross-sanctioned referendum, East Chanchajilla, Paraboca, Zamastan, and Janapa specifically will be in charge of securing free and balanced elections.

The referendum, scheduled for August 4th, will select a new 300-member legislative body in the National Assembly. The N.A. was previously an institution that was run and selected entirely by Frederick Armbar and his officers. There was no democratic process, and West Chanchajillans protesting for democratic rights and freedom of the political process were often imprisoned, tortured, or executed.

In the new referendum process, however, over 800 individuals have announced their candidacies and some have already set their sights on forming political parties. Inevitable, according to experts, is the formation of a coalition government through majority vote. The process will allow for the election of a Prime Minister, who will be the candidate elected to the N.A. with the most total votes. Voting has been established to be proportionate to the population of each West Chanchajillan prefecture.

Currently in the lead for polling in the Prime Minister's race, Juan Diego Barrios, who established the newly formed Popular Democratic Party. At a rally in Ivora on Monday, June 15th, he spoke about uniting the country through the newly freed foundations of democratic processes, saying "West Chanchajilla is a proud nation of proud people, emerging from the long darkness. It is time to pave the path of a new future and establish ourselves as overcomers."

Garment Worker Demonstrations Enter Third Week
Image
Garment workers work in a sewing section of the MG Libb Stitch

Working-class protests and demonstrations have swept through Barangadesh industrial belts hitting the export-oriented garment manufacturers and amid rising concerns over international trade tensions.

Citing data from the government’s Industrial Police, the Financial Express reported over 440 incidents of “labour unrest” in 374 factories during April and 279 incidents in 179 factories in March.

The more than 5,000-strong Industrial Police, which was established by the Barangadesh government in 2010 to suppress workers’ struggles, covers over 7,600 factories. About 4,500 of these are officially-registered garment plants, employing over four million workers.

The global trade decline began impacting on Barangadesh's industrial sector in February resulting in immediate falls in orders and exports earnings. Garment industry owners responded to reduced, or cancelled, orders by giant Zamastanian and Adulan retailers, such as ZeeMart, by cutting jobs and wages or outright closures.

Over 930 factories are reported to have laid off their employees and not paid months of outstanding wages. Workers’ safety was being violated in many plants that had reopened. Workers responded to the refusal of companies to provide a safe working environment with strikes and protests to demand hand sanitisers, face masks and gloves.

Tens of thousands of garment workers, whose monthly wages are about 8,000 takas ($US95), are from villages and went back to their rural homes during the lockdown. When they returned to the industrial zones after May 26 and discovered the plants were still shut, some indefinitely, a wave of angry demonstrations erupted that are still continuing.

“The garment industrial belt at Gazipur and Ashulia turned into a battlefield yesterday, as several thousand apparel workers clashed with police,” the June 12 edition of New Nation reported.

1 person was killed and dozens were injured in the demonstrations.

NORASA SQUAT RIOT LEAVES DOZENS OF POLICE WOUNDED

Image
Protesters set a barricade alight outside 94 Rigaer Far


NORASA, CONSTANTIO- Sixty Constantio police officers have been injured in riots over a building being occupied by squatters in Norasa.

A court has granted officials permission to carry out a fire inspection, but when police attempted to secure the area on Wednesday morning, they were hit by stones.

Occupants of 94 Rigaer Far fear the move could lead to their eviction from one of the city's last remaining squats

Previous attempts to clear the building have failed following violent protests.

In 2016, 123 police officers were wounded in a riot at the site.

The area of Nachshain, where the squat is located, has undergone rapid gentrification in recent years.

The city's police force wrote on social media that officers arriving ahead of Thursday's inspection were "attacked with stones from the street and the roof by around 300 people".

"Material was brought on the street and set on fire," they added, with officers bring water cannons to extinguish the flames.

The police later climbed building to remove the stones placed on the roof.

In recent decades, many students, young people and radical anarchist groups moved to occupy derelict buildings in eastern parts of the city which had been left in decaying states after the Chezia War in the 1990s.

But many owners reclaimed properties as neighbourhoods became trendy and house prices soared over the next two decades.

President Tony Blanian is now pushing for housing reform.

LIVE: PRESIDENT AL-AKHTAR RELEASED FROM HOSPITAL
A group of gunmen shot at President al-Akhtar during a speech in Zakaraban last week

President Zayyaan al-Akhtar has been released from the hospital over a week following an attempted assassination attempt. He had been hospitalized and was in stable condition following an assassination attempt which left him injured with multiple gunshot wounds.

The doctors removed two bullets from his person, one from the upper chest, and one from the arm.

Multiple international leaders sent their best wishes to President al-Akhtar, including Drambenburg's Chancellor Herzog and Kossmil's President Cherdenko.

During a political rally in downtown Zakaraban, a group of gunmen began opening fire on the President, bodyguards, and people in the crowd. Four people in the crowd were killed, and all three attackers were killed by responding bodyguards. Multiple cabinet ministers were also injured in the attack, as was a bodyguard.

The President was rushed to the closest hospital in Zakaraban, where he underwent emergency surgery. Zayyaan al-Akhtar, who is 75 years old, has had a history of medical complications, but was expected to make a full recovery.

The gunmen, who have been identified by the National Security Bureau of Zalluabed but with their names being withheld due to the ongoing investigation, were reportedly members of a separatist insurgent group in Hisrea Province whom the Zalluabedi army had been fighting for months before they withdrew due to the scrutiny from international observers who labeled the campaign as a "genocide".

VUSWISTAN BROADCAST SERVICE


NICOLALIS WINS REELECTION

Tyrnatini, Vuswistan – President Panagiotakis Nicolalis (NUP) won reelection to a second term on Friday, beating rival Abattos Tyrtinanda (DSP) with a narrow 52% of the popular vote. Nicolalis, elected to his first term in 2017, is set to form a new coalition majority government with the National Union Party and the National Conservative Front to organize against Tyrtinanda's Democratic Socialists Party, which still managed to gain seats in this recent election.

President Nicolalis said in his victory speech that he was "thrilled to continue the work for the Vuswistan people" and that he hoped that the "future would continue to shine bright."

Major challenges continue to face Nicolalis' presidency, however. Continued struggle with maintaining a ceasefire in Syraranto which has largely fell on Vuswistan's responsibility, an unraveling situation in North Icadania, and a bevy of domestic issues from looming energy crisis with outdated electrical grids and a stagnant economy spurred by regional troubles.

President Nicolalis is expected to meet with his cabinet to address the new coalition government he intends to lead, and will likely begin the process of establishing new positions with members of his ministry that he ousted during the 2020 corruption scandals.

The President is also looking to regional allies to help mitigate the flurry of crisis, including mediating with Chancellor Giannis of North Icadania, by introducing new foreign policy steps like trade deals and the easing of travel restrictions. Nicolalis hopes to further increase cooperation on the Nortuan continent, especially with regional powers like Besmenian, Siniapore, Utobania, and Constantio.

Ministry of Transportation reveals High-Speed Rail Project

Friday, 17 June 2021

West Somodi TR44, one of the several concepts presented during the announcement

By: Fyrwa Sydaman
Senbodia - During the weekly address to the nation, President Komansa S'deri intends to present the Ministry of Transportation’s new High Speed Rail project, a plan that intends to connect all of the United States’ largest urban areas in a single, federal rail system. Although the nation’s primary railway company, the Federal Railway Conglomerate (FRC), already operates high-speed service with the States Service, it announced through the Ministry of Transportation that it will begin preliminary work on a fully-realized High Speed system, with multiple concepts already considered including both on traditional lines (even so far as to retrofit trains onto existing lines) up to building a wholly new system.

Throughout the announcement, which was accompanied by multiple promotional videos of the various concepts the FRC had considered, there were several interludes by both Minister for Transportation Guiela Mana and CEO of the FRC Buua Canaba that explained the process the agencies would go through to explore the project and put it into motion.

At the same time of the announcement, the S'deri government released a white paper on the project, adding in further details about the project such as seeking foreign investment for both financing, construction, and the requisition of the trains proper, the latter of which was noteworthy for bringing up Timerian railway companies as potential partners.

At the moment, the Ministry of Transportation has stated that it is in the “very early preliminary exploration phase” of the project, where it intends to conduct feasibility studies across the nation to determine the best possible routes and whether using existing tracks or building new ones entirely is the preferred option. Spokespeople from the Ministry have emphasized that the project has no definitive timeline, and that the main goal is to initiate construction as soon as 2023.

Logo of the International Motorsport Association (IMA)


Dabatta- Very important announcement coming out of Automobile Racing Union Assembly today as the President of the Regional Automobile Racing Association, Viktor Bunyachenko has announced the reorganisation of the racing organisation and he renamed it into the International Motorsport Association (IMA) to represent the global interest of motorsports. It will become the first governing body for the licensing and sanctioning of Motorsports across the world with membership applications now open for nations to join, it has the current backing of seven recently joined nation members across the world, examples being Emmiria, Quetana and Beatavic.

A statement from President Nikolai Cherdenko of Kossmil was released which states that Bunyachenko has full backing from the Kossmilian government and they are excited for future races to come, they also stated that they would love to host a race in Kossmil in the coming futures.

Viktor Bunyachenko were answering questions from the media, one of the questions is being on what racing series will be organise and sanctioning in the coming months, Bunyachenko replied “I won’t tell much about the races but I’m planning for races to be fast and competitive as we want to entertain the world while spreading the love and passion of racing to whole audience.” Another question was asked on how will you decide on the tracks for racing to be organised on, he replied with “It will be done by three steps, one will be the checking and testing of the track to be up to health & safety standards, second step is on what racing car will it work under and final step will be that the track will be voted by the members in the general assembly to get that final approve.” The most important question added after the previous question was on the IMA approach to countries hosting major international races, especially on nations that have human right violations which Bunyachenko answers with a sample “Well we would rather not make every race about politics, we don’t want every race pretty much becoming a cold war. Our motto states that we are racing as one, we want to show the love of racing. We added rules that race teams should not be owned by a country's government for obvious reasons.”
