Nicholas Karlen celebrates after his winning goal in the quarter-final matchup against Zamastan in Dabatta

A dramatic ending to the quarter-finals matchup between Shoassau and Zamastan solidified Shoassau's advance to the semi-finals, a matchup which will see them up against Alecburghish newcomers to the round. Despite a solid 2-0 lead early on in the game and a sturdy Zamastanian defense, star player Nicholas Karlen was able to break past the strong defense in a surprise rush to take back-to-back goals into overtime shootouts, paving the way for star penalty kicker Beat Hochmuth to shine and solidify a Shoassauan victory.

In the 15th minute, after latching on to Cayson Roman's knockdown in the box, Roch Asselin headed the ball over Gust Engbers's crossbar. Five minutes before the break, Isaiah Ross's inswinging free kick from the right was met by David McDaniels, who headed the ball into the bottom left corner. Four minutes later, Andries Hemstede' header was saved by Louw te Hennepe low to his right and Remko Kampman shot the rebound over. In the 61st minute, Ross' left footed shot from outside the penalty area slipped through Engbers's hands and into the net as Zamastan doubled their lead. Asselin went down softly under a challenge from Joep Roddeman, prompting angry confrontations involving three Shoassauan players, all of whom were ejected.

In the 73rd minute, Nicolas Karlen's shot curled over, while Ross also flashed a late free-kick over the top. As the game winded down, it appeared that all Zamastan had to do was keep their defense to establish victory. In the 86th minute, however, Nicolas Karlen broke through Zamastanian defense and placed a goal through the hands of Zamastanian goaltender Lewis Collins. As Zamastan scrambled with barely a minute left, Karlen once again found momentum as star striker Isaiah Ross stumbled and let an opening wide for Karlen to take another shot, heading the ball into the bottom right corner out of Collins' reach, tying the game.

Down to overtime penalty kicks, Shoassau set up Beat Hochmuth, the team's lead scorer thus far in the World Cup, to take a shot. With a break curve to the right towards the center, Collins once again failed to stop the ball and Shoassau took a lead. Ross was unable to match, with the Shoassauan goalie Gust Engbers ending the hopes for a Zamastanian progression.

Shoassau's sweeping two-game victory over Constantio in the World Cup qualification tournaments in Dabatta, Kossmil solidified the team in a first-place seed with hopes running high for an intense showing. Two victories against North Timeria and the Slavic Union moved them into the quarter-finals. Shoassau's hopes rest on a stellar offense and a sturdy defensive line heading into Group A. With the best players ranked up within the Shoassau Football Association (SFA) and Shoassauan players from the Euronia Football Confederation (EFC) stacked in the Shoassauan national team, the crew is led by Head Coach Federico Scherrer, Captain Gian Steudler, and lead scorer Beat Hochmuth. Veteran player Nicolas Karlen, who normally plays in the Zamastanian Soccer League within Alanis United, is hyping up the team on social media.

How the rising cost of living crisis is impacting Shoassau
Rising cost of living is causing concern for average Shoassauans, who are feeling the increased prices of food, gas, and other goods nationwide.

The Shoassauan Premiererau is vital to the national economy and sees the majority of shipping come through the landlocked nation via road.

"We are struggling to manage our expenses, as [the] cost of essentials is going up," says Veerle Bloemhoff, a vegetable seller in Hestded, Shoassau. It is a familiar story in many parts of the world at the moment - ordinary people struggling to cope with the soaring cost of living. Every day, Ms Bloemhoff, a 37-year-old mother-of-two, lugs around a heavy basket of greens, selling them to her customers. Her load can easily weigh over 30kg. She lives in the rural Honfleur district nearby Alsace with her family. Her day starts at 03:00 when she goes out to buy salad greens and vegetables from nearby village farms, bringing them by public transport in to the city to sell. Ms Bloemhoff earns about Z$20 (I£15.30) a day.

"My husband doesn't work. So, my family depends on my earnings and I have to pay for the school expenses of my two sons as well. Prices of basic items and transport are going up and life is increasingly getting tough," Ms Bloemhoff says.

Shoassau, with a population of around 2 million, is a nation landlocked between Avergnon, Chaesia, and Blaoria. It relies heavily on its neighbors for imports of almost all of its essential supplies, including fuel. And what's really worrying Shoassauans, like Ms Bloemhoff, is how fast food prices have risen over the past two years, with no end in sight. For example, the price of a litre of sunflower oil, used for cooking, has gone up from Z$1.32 (I£1.00) per litre before the pandemic to Z$2.39 (I£1.83). Consumer organisations say prices for some basic food items have risen by at least 20% in the country.

The Euronian nation's foreign exchange reserves dropped more than 16% to Z$9.59 billion (I£7.36 billion) in the seven months to the middle of February because of the surging cost of imports - the supplies it ships-in from other countries. The government must hang on to enough dollar reserves at the bank to import essential commodities, like food and fuel. In response, the government has just taken a radical step - to restrict imports of non-essential goods, including cars, cosmetics and gold.

Shoassau is not alone, countries across the region, such as Paraboca and East Chanchajilla, are also struggling with soaring inflation. And the trade shortages globally have recently added further pressure, pushing oil prices higher. Shoassau's state-run oil corporation has already increased its fuel prices four times since the beginning of the year, to offset its losses. However, at the vegetable and general markets of Alsace business remains brisk. Traders are still selling their vegetables, meat and fish and other food items. Although many shop owners complain that customers are now buying in more limited quantities and also bargaining very hard to reduce prices.

One shop owner adds that increasing fuel prices mean they are being asked to pay more for the trucks and vans transporting vegetables and other goods. With hundreds of new vehicles being added to the country's roads every year the government is trying to reduce the increasing demand for fuel.

"We are now considering declaring a two-day weekend, instead of a Saturday-only weekend, as part of its measures to reduce the consumption of petroleum products," Cor Schuttelaar, the communication and information technology minister, tells L'Humanité.

The Shoassauan authorities may also introduce restrictions on private vehicles in cities - only allowing even and odd number plates access on alternate days, to reduce vehicles and save fuel. With prices rising, and incomes stagnant, many in Shoassau find themselves in a precarious situation. Sole breadwinners, like Ms Bloemhoff, say they now have no option but to find more work to support their families.

ALECBURGH DEALS BLOW TO EC IN WORLD CUP QUARTERFINALS
An early 1-0 lead by Alecburgh and a defense-driven stalemate for the remainder of the game led to East Chanchajilla's knockout in the Kossmil World Cup.

DABATTA - East Chanchajilla's national football team fell in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Kossmil to the underdog Alecburgh team, who solidified a 1-0 lead early in the game and maintained a stiff defense that E.C. was unable to break. With the loss, East Chanchajillans went home from their packed bars and restaurants in droves, a sign of the dissapointment in failure to reach their first semifinals round since 2001, which was the same year they won the championship last.

Alecburgh took lead by breaking from a EC corner in the 31st minute, with one player arrowing a right foot drive across Damián Pozo and into the left corner of the net from the edge of the penalty area after Ismael Gilabert collected the ball, turned and embarked on a 40-yard run with a pass at the end to free Alecburgh. EC's third change nearly yielded a goal three minutes and 14 seconds after introduction, with forward Diego Campos gliding between two Alecburghian defenders to nod a flicked header past a second defender but catching the cross, denying a goal. The game remained scoreless for the rest of the game.

The loss came as a heartbreak to legendary EC player Óscar Pinto, who was a member of the World Cup-winning 1987 team watching from his home in Vilanja.

"I'm proud of our boys," he said, "but all is fair and we will be back, I am sure of it."

East Chanchajilla made it into the World Cup qualifiers two months ago where they beat out Austrolis in a 3-1 early match and a tied second game, leading to their advance. The knockout stage yielded a Group of 32 victory over the favored New Elkland and a Group of 16 match against Tine. East Chanchajilla's offense was sturdy in both games, and narrow victories by the Alecburghish teams led many to believe a EC-Alecburgh game would be an easy route.

However, the Alecburghish defense proved too formidable for the East Chanchajillans, whose speed on the field became their undoing as the players were chopped into sections across the court by the defense. Additionally, the EC defense did not recover until the second half of the match, which allowed an early breakaway by Alecburgh to take the lead, and a stalemate to follow.

"We'll be back next year," head coach Ezequiel López said. "We know what the problems were now that we've seen it, and we'll recover from it."

ILHAVEIA TRIBUNE
--------------------------------------------------
LUTHARIA MAKES SEMIFINALS
A 4-0 sweep over Kaoro in the quarterfinals advances them into the semifinals, where they are to play the host nation Kossmil.

Lutharians took to the streets on Thursday night to celebrate a sweeping quarterfinals victory over Kaoro in the World Cup, rousing the expectation that Lutharia could advance beyond the semifinals and into the championship for the first time since 2016. In a stunning showing, a continuation of what has been Lutharia's highest scoring World Cup tournament ever, Lutharia's expert crew including captain Issaac Dijkkamp led the team to a 4-0 trounce, advancing into a high-stakes semifinal competition with the host nation, Kossmil, who beat their opponents 3-2.

Lutharia beat Kaoro 4–0 at the Abramov Stadium. It was the third time in the tournament that Lutharia had scored four or more goals in a match. Lutharia's first goal was scored by Dijkkampin the third minute of the match, with a header from a free kick taken. Early in the second half, Kaoro pressed Lutharia and came close to scoring on a number of occasions, but Lutharia hit back on a counter-attack in the 67th minute, when Dirk Herink scored into an empty goal from a pass by Stans Zigmeijers. Lutharia's third came as Issaac Dijkkamp slid it inside by a pass from Herink seven minutes later, before another repeat took the score to 4–0, volleying the ball into the net off a cross.

Issaac Dijkkamp celebrated with his team following the victory, spraying coach Quinten Tielbeeke with energy drinks from the sidelines. Lutharians who had purchased tickets for the tournament and were celebrating alongside them from the stands in the audience were ecstatic, breaking into the team's song and the Lutharian national anthem.

"Greatest fans in the world," Dijkkamp said, out of breath, speaking to the Tribune. "This is a triumph. I want to extend my congratulations to the Kaoroans, who were tough opponents, and everyone else along the way. We're headed into a tough matchup tomorrow, but if we keep this same momentum then we'll make it into the finals without a doubt in my mind."

A loss for the team did occur though, and a vital one, when key defender in the Lutharian backfield, Mannes Hegeman, suffered a torn ACL during a crash with a Kaoroan player, which will leave him out of the rest of the tournament. Hegeman has been credited with the most saves in the backfield for a Lutharian defender in the last several outings, so his loss is sure to be a setback for the otherwise generally inexperienced replacements that will fill his spot.

Lutharia's arrival to the World Cup came through a demolishing showcase of Lutharia's offensive and defensive matchup. A 6-0 and 4-2 respective qualification matchup against Emmiria catapulted the statistics for Lutharia's victories which lay ahead, as a 1-0 victory over Ossinia in the Group of 32, 1-0 victory over Artaska in the Group of 16, and the 4-0 victory today puts an important push ahead for Lutharia into the semifinals.

Breaking News: Timeria and Somodi Building Forces on Azilian Border

^{SHARE THIS:}

Timothy Barns (@TBarns)
^{April 14th, 2022 | Infinity, Timeria}

Timerian and Somodian forces have moved to Somyost Island just outside of Azil’s capital. This comes after an increase in military activity by both nations and many believe this is a sign that an intervention could be only days away. While both governments have been quiet about their plans signs have shown that the nations plan to intervene in Azil and topple the current regime. Timerian government officials have been adamant about not allowing Azil to destabilize and threaten the security of Timeria. Azil has been a harbor for terrorist organizations and many fear what a civil war would bring to Timeria’s border. A majority Timerians support intervening in Azil and believe that Azil has been a threat to Timerian security and overall stability in Adula. Despite the support, many fear what a failed intervention could bring.

With forces in position experts are analyzing what a war in Azil would look like. Azil being such a small country and surrounded by both Timeria and Somodi most have come to the conclusion that forces will attack from many directions. Near Timeria’s border with Azil forces have been moving into firing positions along with a visible increase in aircraft on the tarmac ready to launch. Across the border Somodian forces have been organizing on the border of Azil preparing for an incursion into the north of Azil. On Somyost Island most people can see that forces will attempt to capture the capital of Tomarka in the opening days of the war. Somodian and Timerian special forces have been working together to operate from the Island. It’s unclear when operations will begin but the signs are clear.

It’s still unclear what if any resistance Azil will put up but many are focused on reducing the number of civilian casualties. Although underdeveloped Azil has a number of high-density population centers surrounding Tomarka. While most of the population is focused in this area it is believed that most of the ground combat will occur in this area. Timeria and Somodi are focused on taking down the current regime; taking Tomarka will be necessary if they plan on accomplishing their mission. While the joint forces are up to the task they will be handicapped as they try to avoid civilian casualties. The urban environment will make it difficult for heavy fire support and airstrikes to weaken the enemy. Generals are also concerned that Azilian forces may use civilians as human shields.

SHOASSAU WINS WORLD CUP
In their narrowest game yet, Shoassau and Kossmil went into overtime and scored to win.

The National Team celebrates after winning the 2022 World Cup in Dabatta

Shoassau kicked off the match at 4 pm local time in temperatures of 23 °C (73 °F) with 65% humidity, in front of a crowd of 67,738 and an estimated global television audience of 1.013 billion. The weather at Dabatta International Airport, 6.5 kilometres (4 mi) from the stadium, was recorded as fair at the time of kick-off, becoming partly cloudy later in the evening. Shoassau won a free kick 3 minutes into the game, when Kossmil fouled them around 25 yards (23 m) from the Kossmilian goal. The free kick was hit straight at the wall, and Kossmil launched a counterattack from the rebound. From that point on, the game became a tense stalemate, which lasted until a brutal clashing in the overtime matching, which ultimately brought Shoassau their second ever World Cup title.

Kossmil ran with the ball down the right before passing on the edge of the penalty area. They took a shot from a narrow angle, but the ball went wide of the left-hand goalpost. On 9 minutes, Kossmil outpaced players on the right and ran into the penalty area. They attempted to find from the byline but Shoassau reached it first and cleared. Shoassau had considerably more of the early possession, but a Shoassau defensive error on 20 minutes gave Kossmil "the best opportunity for either side" thus far. Shoassau miscued a header, which left Kossmil one-on-one, but the latter's shot from the edge of the penalty area went wide of the goal. On 23 minutes, Shoassau had a chance to score when the ball reached them following a cross, but Kossmil dispossessed them before they could shoot.

In the 30th minute, space was found for Kossmil on the right and crossed into the penalty area. Kossmil collected the ball and slotted it past Shoassau into the goal. There were celebrations for several seconds, but the strike was disallowed as it had been in an offside position. Shoassau made a substitution shortly afterwards, taking off a player as a result of a head injury he had sustained 14 minutes previously. Another Shoassauan received a yellow card on 33 minutes for a tackle which connected with a Kossmilian player's shins, before Kossmil had a 20-yard (18 m) shot blocked. A minute later, Shoassau launched an attack down the left, hit a shot towards the top left of the goal, but Kossmil's goalie did a full-stretch dive to save it, despite having his eyeline blocked. Kossmil then had another opportunity, running with the ball into the Shoassau penalty area and kicking the ball towards goal. Shoassau prevented Kossmil taking the lead with a goal-line clearance. Shortly before half time, Shoassau received a corner in the penalty area, in what reporters called the "best chance of the half", but the headed shot struck the goalpost and it remained 0–0 at half time.

Kossmil began the second half with a shot in the first minute after running down the right wing, but it went wide of Shoassau's goal. Kossmil then had another opportunity to score when they were one-on-one with the goalkeeper a minute later, but the low shot on goal also went wide. Kossmil had more possession than Shoassau in the opening 10 minutes of the half, and they had another chance on 50 minutes when the ball was received just inside the penalty area; they missed the ball with an attempted shot. Shoassau had a chance on 71 minutes, with players all getting involved in a build-up described as "tiki-taka", but when Shoassau eventually reached the penalty area with only one Kossmilian defender to beat, they failed to control the ball properly and the goalkeeper claimed it. Kossmil had a shot on 75 minutes, following a run across the edge of the Shoassauan penalty area, which attempted to curl into the top left-hand corner of the goal; it missed the target.

Shoassau appealed for a penalty with 10 minutes remaining, after a tussle close to the Kossmilian goalpost following a cross, but the referee awarded a goal kick to Kossmil. Shoassau then had a chance following a lay-off pass, but again missed the target. Both sides made substitutions in the final 5 minutes. The final remained goalless after 90 minutes, and extra time was played.

Early in the first half of extra time, Shoassau received a pass in front of goal, but the close-range shot was stopped by Kossmil. This was followed by a break upfield by Kossmil with only two defenders covering, but Shoassau was able to intercept and clear the danger. Five minutes later, a lob by Kossmil went just wide after the forward jumped on a mistake by Shoassau in the penalty area. In the second half of extra time, Shoassau broke the deadlock when Nicholas Karlen scored in the 113th minute. Karlen raced past two defenders on the left before crossing into the penalty area, where he controlled the ball on his chest and then volleyed left-footed into the net. Karlen had a chance to double Shoassau's lead shortly afterward when he dribbled past two defenders, but his shot across the net was too wide. Late in extra time, Kossmil also had an opportunity to equalise from a free kick within goal-scoring distance, but the attempt flew high over the crossbar. That proved to be the last action of the game as the final whistle was blown, confirming Shoassau's 1–0 victory.

The Shoassauan fans, both in Dabatta and at home, erupted in celebrations as a result of the victory, Shoassau's second ever World Cup title. Prime Minister Gabriel Leitner, who had flown into Dabatta to watch the final, greeted the players on the field as they celebrated and also met with the Kossmilian players and Prime Minister Cherdenko. The Shoassauan star, Nicholas Karlen, was granted "player of the game" and gave the victory speech for the team.

"We did it! We finally did it, 32 years later. I am so proud of my teammates, my coaches, my countrymen and women, and every fan of ours. The Kossmilians are gracious hosts and the toughest opponents we've had this entire tournament. I honestly didn't think we could make it past their incredible teamwork, defense, offense... the Kossmilians deserve the praise of the entire sports world. I am so blessed to have played them, I am so blessed to have played for this incredible team, and I am honored to stand here with my teammates to accept this victory."

Prime Minister Gabriel Leitner announced that he would welcome the World Cup team to his residence for a celebration, and the Parliament of Shoassau declared that every member of the team including coaches would be given Medals of Merit, the highest civilian honor that can be bestowed in Shoassau.

SENBODIA ROUTE
SUSPECTED AZIL DRONE ATTACK ON POWER FACILITIES LEAVES SOMODI IN THE DARK

Saturday, 16 April 2022

The capital of Senbodia and many other major cities in the north of Somodi were plunged into darkness during the power outage

By: Fyrwa Sydaman
Senbodia - President Komansa S'deri confirmed reports that the power outage which impacted most of northern Somodi was caused by a drone attack against a power facility in Senbodia. According to authorities, at least a dozen small commercial drones laced with EMP devices made their way across the border with Azil and flew directly into Ustabe Natural Gas Facility, one of the largest energy facilities in Adula, and struck multiple conductors. The resulting power outage left the north half of the country in darkness for nearly 16 hours, constituting about 68% of the country's population. Emergency generators came online about 5 hours after the initial outage, but power was not restored regionally until the next day.

President S'deri stated that the drones likely came from the Azilian regime rather than an independent insurgent group, stating "the recent actions that the Somodi and Timerian governments have taken to respond to the authoritarian and brutal tyranny of the Azil regime motivated them into an unwarranted and escalatory attack on our nation's infrastructure. Thankfully the attack was purely disruptive and our engineers are capable of combatting such acts, but it shows the capability of the Azil regime to carry out sophisticated attacks in the future which could prove to be far more damaging."

Beyond the inconvenience to regular civilian operations like lighting, heating, and electricity, the power outage also impacted transportation networks, including a case of a commuter train which derailed outside of Senbodia, injuring at least 30 people though none seriously. Traffic lights across cities in the northern half of Somodi went out of function, leaving commuters in confusion trying to navigate too and from their destinations. Water supplies were also temporarily shut off to prevent damage or contamination as the filtration systems at some water facilities went offline for a temporary period.

The attack came as Somodi and Timerian forces continue to buildup military strength on the border in response to the dangerously escalating situation in Azil, which has seen the regime targeting civilian demonstrators in deadly encounters. Officials say hundreds of protestors have been killed by the regime's security forces and more than ten thousand have been imprisoned. While both governments have been quiet about their plans, signs have shown that the nations plan to intervene in Azil and topple the current regime. Both Somodi and Timerian government officials have been adamant about not allowing Azil to destabilize and threaten the security of their nations. Azil has been a harbor for terrorist organizations and many fear what a civil war would bring to the border.

"I cannot comment on whether or not we will be intervening militarily," President S'deri stated, "but we stand undivided and in complete solidarity with the people of Azil who are expressing their desire to be free from the tyranny of their regime."

BUSHORE SUSPENDS FLIGHTS TO AGMERIA AS CONFLICT BREAKS OUT
Published at 2022-04-17 12:12
Reported by Ellian Smith
Tagged as topic1, topic2
Prime Minister Lynne Bushore

As the opening stage of a civil war breaks out in the southeastern Euronian nation of Agmeria show no signs of ceasing, Prime Minister Lynne Bushore announced that the government of Saint Offeat would be suspending all flights to the country and that embassy staff would be recalled as soon as possible.

Forces with allegiance to Agmeria's Gregorian Cabal, a paramilitary group that has had effective control over half of the country for decades, launched a series of deadly and damaging missile strikes against Agmerian telecommunications facilities and military sites, and Cabal forces encroached into government held areas and clashed with federal forces. This was preceded by several weeks of buildup along the defacto border which separates Cabal control from federal control.

Saint Offeat's embassy in the Agmerian capital Revera has been ordered to be evacuated, with the last Offeat Airlines flights out of the country reserved for Saint Offeat nationals and diplomats wishing to leave the country. Ambassador to Agmeria, Hannah Huifeldt, stated that her "thoughts and prayers [are] with the people of Agmeria, who are being besieged in an attempt to upend freedom and democratic values."

Saint Offeat and Agmeria do not have incredibly in-depth diplomatic ties, but Prime Minister Bushore has announced that her government will help support the Agmerian government in whatever ways they and the Offeatean parliament see fit.

The Gregorian Cabal last month demanded complete independence from Agmeria in a letter addressed to President Harule Fernandez, which followed an attack on an Agmerian military convoy in Puesla. Leopard III, Archbishop of the Gregorian Republic, has repeatedly called the actions of the Cabal justified in their interpretation of religious pursuit, claiming that the federal government of Agmeria must pay if they do not "cease [their] imperialist governance and allow god's true children to inherit the Earth."

"The people of Saint Offeat understand the chaos and horrific terror that religiously-prompted conflict causes," Prime Minister Bushore said. "We experienced it in the troubles, and we are about to see the horrors of it unleashed on the people of Agmeria. I pray that the Archbishop makes the right decision and pulls back his forces and his missiles and lets the Agmerian people live in peace, without fear of destruction."

THE KOSSMIL PAPER

"We proud of you, sons of Kossmil"
Kossmil lose in heartbreak fashion

Roman Soloviev after the final whistle was called

Dabatta- Kossmil lost to Shoassau in their first ever World Cup final in front of a crowd of 67,738 in the Republic Stadium and a television viewership of 1 billion. The match was very tightly competitive with both sides putting up their best with some close chances being with Artem Semak shot hitting the post of the Shoassau goal or worse there was a goal that was disallowed because of Kodiak Vasiliev strike being on an offside position while on the Shoassau side there was headed shot which hit Kossmil goal post, that was dramacly was in the first half. In the second half, it remain the same with both side either putting up very good attack or having very good defences but one of the big highlights for both halves being goalkeeper and captain, Roman Soloviev with some amazing shot stopping, one of best being at the 34 minute when he save from shot going into top left of the net with crowd going berserk by it. The second half still ended 0-0 with either not managing to break the deadlock.

During the match, President Nikoai Cherdenko and Shoassau Prime Minister, Gabriel Leitner watched the match both gripping their seats while both sides were firing close shots. When extra time begin, it was still same as both with as the sides fight like warriors on the battlefield but in the second half of extra time, at the 113th minute in which Nicholas Karlen of ZPL side Alanis United and the star of the tournament bust through the defence he volleyed shot into top left in the net, after shot went past goalkeeper Roman Soloviev, the Shoassau fan who travelled to Kossmil started celebrating while the Kossmilian fans look defeated with some on brink of tears, there is no denying that it was an excellent goal but sadly it come at cost of losing in World Cup at home. When the refancer whistled the end of the match, the Shoassau team respectfully shook hands with the Kossmilian before celebrating their second World Cup title.

Nikoai Cherdenko and Gabriel Leitner both walk onto the field to greet the players of both sides and congrationed them for their performance in the final. Nicholas Karlen was awarded man of the match while being awarded player of the tournament, Nicholas Karlen gave a speech which in summary applauded the Shoassau team but gave respect to the Kossmil team for their performance in the final and thanked the Kossmilians for hosting the World Cup. When he done with his speech, Roman Soloviev gave his speech to the teams and to the crowd.

“I'm never good at this speaking but I would like to congratulate the Shoassau team for their performance, showing why they are world champions. I like to thank the Kossmil team for our teamwork and camaraderie during the tournament we wouldn't get this, even if we didn't win it at the end we can keep heads up high because our performance to get here to think in our second ever World Cup appearance we made to the final which is very special, and hoping we can return to it next year. Finally I would like to thank every Kossmilian backing us, because they are also part of the team and they are the 12 player of the team.”

The review came out of the world cup in which critics praised Kossmil hosting of the World Cup and believes it helped to reinvigorate the image of the nation following the end of the Kossmilian civil wars (1960-2020). President Cherdenko released a statement praising the national team's performance in the World Cup but also congratulated the Shoassau national team and thanked prime Minister Gabriel Leitner of Shoassau for coming to watch the final. There are rumours that top scouts from the world's top teams across the world are now keeping a shortlist of the Kossmilian players for the upcoming transfer window coming around June-July.

MINORITY WHIP WEAVER KILLED IN COASTAL VALLEY HIGHWAY CRASH

A car occupied by Minority Whip Clayton Weaver crashed through a guard rail. The bodies of Congressman Weaver and his driver were later recovered.

POLITICAL CORRESPONDANT: Travis Canterbury (@TCanterburyOfficial)
TIRZAH - Minority Leader Clayton Weaver (BCP) was killed in an automobile crash on the renowned Coastal Valley Highway north of Tofino on Monday. Weaver, who was spending the weekend at a resort north of Tofino with his family, was headed back to Tofino to attend a session of Congress. The car containing Congressman Weaver reportedly collided with a car trying to pass in the opposite lane, at which point it swerved into the guardrail and off the rocky shoreline ledge into the water below. The bodies of Weaver and his driver were recovered by authorities.

Weaver was a Congressman who has represented Pahl's 64th congressional district since 2008. He quickly rose through the ranks of the Blue Conservative Party, chairing numerous committees including the Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection, the Judicial Administrative Oversight and the Courts, and the Rules and Administration. When the BCP lost its majority in 2020 and Speaker Larious Maxwell was ousted after his misconduct allegations, Senator Kendrick Benton endorsed Weaver to take up the mantle of Minority Whip in the Chamber. He was thusly the fourth-ranking BCP member in Congressional Hall.

Weaver leaves behind a wife and two children.

The BCP's Minority Leader in the Congress Chamber, Anthony Hill, expressed his surprise and sadness in response to the news of Weaver's death, saying "on behalf of every member of the Blue Conservative Party, I would like to express my absolute shock to this tragic, untimely accident that has taken the life of the Minority Whip, Congressman Clayton Bell Weaver. He was a true conservative, standing strong to the ideals of our party and our nation. He was not afraid to take strong stances, but was also willing to work across the aisle. His demeanor and respect towards everyone was admirable, and he will always live on in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife, children, and family who are mourning his loss."

Weaver was born in Alanis, Pahl, one of three children of Joseph Weaver, a real estate broker who died on October 8, 2015, at the age of 77, and the former Carol Schilleci. His siblings are Glenn and Amanda Weaver, both of whom serve as provincial lawmakers in Pahl. Weaver's great-grandparents immigrated to Zamastan from Elbresia in the late 1800s. Weaver earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Bretts University in Dade, Pahl, with a major in computer science and a minor in political science. Weaver was a member of the Acacia Fraternity.

Speaker of the Chamber Natasha Chastain (GLP) delivered a statement expressing her profound shock and condolences in reaction to Weaver's death, saying "despite our political differences and the often intense debates we would find ourselves in, Congressman Weaver always conducted himself with exceptional professionalism and respect towards his peers on either side of the isle. His loss is incredibly saddening, and I extend my thoughts, prayers, and considerations to his family and colleagues.

President Atticus Moreau's office released a brief statement expressing condolences, saying "while the President never met with Congressman Weaver personally, he admired his work and the admiration his colleagues had for him."

MAN ARRESTED AFTER CLIMBING BARRICADE AT PRESIDENTIAL MANSION

President Moreau and his family were not present at the time of the intrusion, but authorities state the breach is a concerning instance of security lapses.

POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVE: Marcos Barry (@MarcosBarryOfficial)
TOFINO - The Presidential Mansion was the site of an attempted breach as a man climbed over the fence of the security perimeter, running across the lawn of the residence until officers were able to detain him. The suspect, identified as Steve Chiplain of Gastown, Zian, had posted threatening messages against President Moreau and members of his cabinet, and authorities have stated that he was on a watchlist. The President and his family were not present at the residence at the time of the suspect's intrusion, as they are spending a weekend at Camp Bratton. The breach at the residence casts a light on an increasingly concerning issue of security lapses in the President's circle, only weeks after a man was able to rush past security and reach Moreau on stage at an event in Kelowna.

According to authorities, the breach happened at about 11.38pm Monday night. Chiplain “scaled the outer perimeter fence by the Residence Entrance off the east end of Gaviria Park”, the Residence Security said in a statement. Chiplain was detained without incident, and no weapons or hazardous materials were found during a search of a backpack he carried, nor on the grounds. The suspect was approached by a security officer on the grounds and asked whether he had permission to be there. He replied: “No, I am a friend of the president. I have an appointment.” The agent then asked how he had entered the restricted area. “I jumped the fence,” the suspect said, according to the report, and security footage corroborated that he had scaled the barrier.

Speaking to reporters at Camp Bratton, Moreau said he had been briefed about the incident. “It was a troubled person,” he said. “It’s very sad, actually. Security did a fantastic job last night."

Two years ago, the Presidential Security’s leadership was overhauled after a series of security breaches, the most serious of which took place in October 2019, when a former army sniper, Samuel Aabee, climbed the fence and sprinted down the length of the residence's walls. Aabee carried a knife, and he had entered farther into the executive mansion than the agency had originally said. President Bishop was not at the residence at the time of the incursion, which followed a series of other embarrassments. Eventually, its chief at the time, Theodore Pierson, resigned.

In 2018, a man wearing a Zamastanian flag jumped the residence's fence late on a Sunday night, carrying a package that was found to be harmless. In April 2020, another fence climber was arrested, and in May of that year a person was shot by the security after he approached the residence security with a gun.

SHOASSAU WINS WORLD CUP

Despite another stacked statistical season, Zamastan failed to overcome Shoassau in the quarterfinals. Shoassau went on to win the tournament over the host nation, Kossmil.

CHIEF SPORTS CORRESPONDANT: Louie Hall (@Louie_Hall)
DABATTA - Despite a stacked series of statistical victories over opponents during the World Cup, Zamastan's national team fell to Shoassau in the quarterfinals in Kossmil. An overtime 2(1)-(0)2 loss to Shoassau meant Zamastan's hopes for another trip to the finals were dashed, but Shoassau went on to beat Alecburgh in the semifinals and the host nation of Kossmil in the final matchup. Isaiah Ross, Zamastan's top scorer, has once again been awarded the team's Player of the Year. Team captain Roch Asselin spoke after watching the final game of the World Cup, calling the tournament "one of the most twisty-turny events I've ever seen. Even though we dropped earlier than we expected to, I'm proud of our boys and awestruck by our opponent's ability to perform."

In the 15th minute, after latching on to Cayson Roman's knockdown in the box, Roch Asselin headed the ball over Gust Engbers's crossbar. Five minutes before the break, Isaiah Ross's inswinging free kick from the right was met by David McDaniels, who headed the ball into the bottom left corner. Four minutes later, Andries Hemstede' header was saved by Louw te Hennepe low to his right and Remko Kampman shot the rebound over. In the 61st minute, Ross' left footed shot from outside the penalty area slipped through Engbers's hands and into the net as Zamastan doubled their lead. Asselin went down softly under a challenge from Joep Roddeman, prompting angry confrontations involving three Shoassauan players, all of whom were ejected.

In the 73rd minute, Nicolas Karlen's shot curled over, while Ross also flashed a late free-kick over the top. As the game winded down, it appeared that all Zamastan had to do was keep their defense to establish victory. In the 86th minute, however, Nicolas Karlen broke through Zamastanian defense and placed a goal through the hands of Zamastanian goaltender Lewis Collins. As Zamastan scrambled with barely a minute left, Karlen once again found momentum as star striker Isaiah Ross stumbled and let an opening wide for Karlen to take another shot, heading the ball into the bottom right corner out of Collins' reach, tying the game.

Down to overtime penalty kicks, Shoassau set up Beat Hochmuth, the team's lead scorer thus far in the World Cup, to take a shot. With a break curve to the right towards the center, Collins once again failed to stop the ball and Shoassau took a lead. Ross was unable to match, with the Shoassauan goalie Gust Engbers ending the hopes for a Zamastanian progression.

LEITNER CONDEMNS ANTI-SHOASSAU VIOLENCE ABROAD
A wave of violence against Shoassauans has occurred in multiple nations following the World Cup.

Leitner speaks to the press in his condemnation of anti-Shoassauan rhetoric

Prime Minister Leitner condemned multiple instances of anti-Shoassauan demonstrations and violence in several nations internationally following the World Cup victory by the Shoassauan national team. In instances of violence against Shoassauan nationals and communities abroad, several people were injured in attacks that Leitner says are "completely unjustified" and "heinous". Attacks by mobs against Shoassauan nationals in Alecburgh, Elbresia, and Kyti have garnered intense criticism, and Leitner and other Shoassauan politicians have called on the leaders of those nations to take action and strictly punish those responsible.

Shoassau won the World Cup three days ago in a historic overtime bout against the host nation, Kossmil. As with most World Cups and the intense fanbase that the tournament holds in most nations involved, there were demonstrations of outrage in the nations who failed to reach the finals. However, the attacks against Shoassauans appears to be a deliberate display of anger towards the winning team rather than the usual avenue of frustration, which can be a mix of referee calls, coaching, and player action.

"I strongly condemn in the harshest and most adamant way possible the violence against Shoassauan nationals in Alecburgh, Elbresia, and Kyti," Prime Minister Leitner said, "and Prime Minister Champlain-Kourtney, President Martin, President Dabaus, and all other leaders of these respective nations to take action and hold these people responsible for the heinous actions."

EASTERN SOLDIERS KILLED IN WEST CHANCHAJILLA IED BLAST
A squadron within the Peacekeeping Corp operating in West Chanchajilla fell victim to a roadside IED, most likely undetected from last year's war.

Remains of a military vehicle are seen after a roadside IED blast north of the West Chanchajillan capital of Ivora.

by Wildar Valerso
IVORA - 4 East Chanchajillan soldiers participating in the CCA-overseen peacekeeping mission in West Chanchajilla were killed and another 5 were injured in an IED blast in a suburb north of the capital of Ivora. Authorities say a military vehicle carrying peacekeepers from a joint East Chanchajilla-Janapa group ran over a mine which was buried under a thin gravel layer on a urban roadway, and was likely left over from last years conflict and was not recently placed. Authorities say there is no immediate threat from any criminal or insurgent element in West Chanchajilla, reiterating that the mine was residue from previously undetected armaments scattered by Armbar's forces in March of 2021.

President Gideon Boer expressed his condolences for the victims in the blast, calling them "heroes dedicated to preserving peace, helping usher in the democratic freedoms of our Western brothers and sisters, and the future of the nation. We mourn their loss in this tragic accident, and we are looking into ways to better detect stray munitions that pose threats to our forces."

The incident was the latest in a series of accidental deaths of peacekeeping forces and civilians by munitions which were previously undetected. In the months following the conclusion of the war in Spring of 2021, dozens of civilians were killed by IEDs and other explosives which were left over in the fighting. Two EC soldiers were killed in October, and another was killed in December after encountering unexploded ordinance. A Janapan peacekeeper was killed in February as a result of his vehicle hitting a mine which was also previously undetected.

The issue of unexploded material poses a significant risk to average civilians, but the deaths of soldiers who are constantly equipped with technology meant to protect them from blasts, as well as detect the munitions, is a development which East Chanchajillan authorities are eager to solve the core issue of.

"Our soldiers have been in a peacekeeping and non-combatant role for over a year now," said General Hernando Olar, the commander of East Chanchajillan forces still in West Chanchajilla. "We have not lost a single soldier to enemy fire since we captured the last city of Armbar's resistance in April of last year. We have to solve the issue of continued deaths despite the absence of the enemy."

Frederick Armbar's forces and insurgency left thousands of landmines and other explosives and booby traps along urban center roads during their retreat to Ivora in early 2021 as East Chanchajillan and Parabocan forces drove them out of power. Hundreds of coalition soldiers were killed in the three months of fighting which eventually ousted the dictator from power and later led to the rise of a democratic government, with elections being held nationwide in August of 2021. Incumbant Prime Minister, Juan Diego Barrios, has made it a staple of his administration to unify the country post-war, including to fix infrastructure damaged in the fighting and clean up dangerous material left behind.

Courbagne Sentinel
CONTAINER SHIP WITH HAZARDOUS MATERIAL CATCHES FIRE

Above: The Alellet Ace, a container ship carrying hazardous material, electronics, and oil, caught fire in the north Albarine Sea.

COURBAGNE - President Lionel Pieters confirmed that the Elkland Coast Guard is working to put out a fire aboard an abandoned cargo ship packed with oil, electronics, and hazardous material, currently adrift in the Albarine Sea, after a rapidly-spreading fire on board forced the crew to escape. There are worries of an oil leak from the ship, which if left uncontained could spill poison into the sea and cause an environmental disaster.

The 656 foot-long Alellet Ace roll-on/roll-off oil-carrying ship caught fire in the North Albarine Sea on Thursday as it carried cargo, including material used in chemical refineries, from Altbach, New Elkland, en route to Kuye, Emmiria. At the time of the fire's outbreak, the ship was sailing 90 nautical miles southwest of Courbagne, according to a statement by the Elkland Navy.

After the fire broke out in the cargo hold, it spread and forced all 22 crew members to abandon ship. According to another statement by the Elkland Navy, the crew was safely picked up and taken to a local hotel, with the rescue coordinated by the Courbagne Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Center. There has been no noticeable source of pollution from the fire, according to the statement, although they are closely monitoring the ship.

The ship's owners have arranged for a tow as it continues to burn.

"While it remains too early to confirm what occurred and next steps, we are -- along with our colleagues -- supporting the efforts as best we can to find solutions to prevent the spill of potentially ecologically damaging material," said President Pieters. "We are in contact with the shipping company and the details of the cargo on board is now known."

The Alellet Ace can carry over 17,000 metric tons of cargo, with several examples of liquid hazardous material on board . The Navy said that as of Thursday, the fire is ongoing, and an ocean patrol vessel remains on site to monitor the abandoned ship.

MASS GRAVES UNCOVERED IN TIRIKAN PROVINCE, SBU LABELS GENOCIDE INVESTIGATION IN SYRARANTO

The now-ousted Tasoulas government has been accused of genocide by the member states of the Sotoan Basin Union as graves of the Gurriana ethnic population.

NORASA- The executive assembly of the Sotoan Basin Union on Friday unanimously agreed to label the now-ousted Tasoulas regime's military actions against the Gurriana ethnic population in western Syraranto as a genocide after hundreds of mass graves potentially holding tens of thousands of remains were uncovered in Tirikan province almost two months after the dictator was killed. President Tony Blanian called the discoveries of the grave sites as "a horrific display of crimes against humanity, purposeful attempted eradication of an entire culture and people group, and the exact unfortunate expectation that came to be with the atrocious nature of Tasoulas' barbarity."

As SBU and CCA peacekeeping and humanitarian groups work within Syraranto to help rebuild areas which have been cleared of conflict (clashes still continue in some parts of the country), more than 370 instances of grave sites hastely dug and filled have been discovered in Tirikan province, with the largest consisting of over 1,000 bodies according to a statement from President Blanian's office. Local residents in the region have offered testimony to events which played out during the course of the war and prior to, where hundreds of accounts, photographic and video evidence, and satellite imagery confirm Tasoulas' regime forces systematically rounded up and executed Gurriana peoples.

Captured regime officials, as well as Tasoulas apologists, have rejected charges of genocide, typically arguing either that those Gurriana who died were simply in the way of a war, or that killings were justified by their individual or collective support for the enemies of the regime. General Able Masilla, the second-in-command for Tasoulas' armed forces and the man who surrendered the government to rebel forces during the battle in Covijo, detained by rebels and passed to a CCA detention currently being held in Norasa, denied having any knowledge of the massacres but maintained that Tasoulas emphasized his disdain for Tirikan in strategy meetings. He has stated that he was "unaware of the horrors in Tirikan," and went further to state that "if this was a crime against the Gurriana people, those responsible should pay the dearest price."

The Sotoan Basin Union has formally issued a request to the Coalition of Crown Albatross General Assembly, as well as the Security Council, to have the events being investigated in Tirikan province as a genocide. This is the first instance of the SBU filing declarations of humanitarian crimes in a sweeping resolution to the CCA, as the procedures for the 1995 Chezian massacres came shortly before the founding of the SBU.

In 1997, the Cechena genocide was the first Nortuan crime to be formally classified as genocidal in character, and many key individual participants in it were subsequently charged with war crimes. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Chezian Alliance (ICTCA) was established by the Coalition of Crown Albatross in 1998 to prosecute these crimes. If accepted by the CCA General Assembly, as it is expected to be, the genocides in Tirikan will be investigated and condemned under global resolution. As a member of the Security Council, Constantio is expected to head the filing.

Tirikan, a large western city at the crossroads of the border with Cylata, Constantio, and New Ansion, had a population of 377,000 before the civil war broke out in the spring of 2020. It was the cultural center of the Gurriana people, an ethnic Nortuan people group, and was an early epicenter of demonstrations against the Tasoulas regime which escalated into the civil war which has ravaged the nation for nearly two years.

Kyriakos Tasoulas long labeled Gurriana leaders as "enemies of the people" and throughout the course of the war maintained that rebel groups in opposition to his rule were being led by Gurriana, though groups who were not active in Tirikan province could not be found to have many Gurriana within their ranks. Tasoulas' own hatred towards the Gurriana was evident in his early military campaigns against the city of Tirikan, notably on August 7th 2020 when the Syraranto military began a carpet-bombing campaign largely indiscriminately against the city's inhabitants. Many leading nations in the international community heavily sanctioned the Syraranto government as perceptions of an ethnic cleansing against the Gurriana people in the Western part of the country began to unfold.

A few days later on August 10th, eight defecting Syraranto Armed Forces officers formed the Free Syraranto Army (FSA), originally composed of defected Syraranto military officers and soldiers, aiming "to bring this government (the Tasoulas government) down" with united opposition forces. On August 12th, a nationwide crackdown nicknamed the "Mikrayako Massacre" (named after the Gurriana holy month of Mikrayako) resulted in the death of at least 4,200 people, many of whom were Gurriana.

The Gurriana, with an estimated total population of 2 million throughout all of Syraranto and primarily in the west of the country, largely fled as refugees when the war broke out as Tasoulas' forces began to lay siege to Tirikan. While over 6 million people fled Syraranto during the war, nearly a quarter of them were Gurrians and found refuge in Constantio and Cylata, and many later relocated to Beatavic and Artaska.

As Syraranto is a largely secular nation with main religions split almost evenly between Christianity and Islam, the Gurriana practice their own faith called Gytianism. The Gurriana also speak their own language by the same name, comparable to original Cylatan and Icadanian language groups. They have a history that pre-dates modern Syraranto and the Constantioan empire, and Gurriana literature dates back to 400 AD, when Mesrop Ness first invented their alphabet.

Burout Gesst, a spokesperson for the Gurriana Societal Alliance of Constantio which represents Gurriana culture in Constantio, released a statement upon the discovery of the mass graves saying "my heart and soul are torn and devastated. The evil of the regime took a path of irreversible and distraught human suffering in order to wipe out my people. We will survive this horror, as our people always have amidst persecution."

ARTASKAN PARLIAMENT UNILATERALY RECOGNIZES TIRIKAN MASSACRES AS A GENOCIDE

An ongoing SBU investigation unearthed hundreds of mass graves near Tirikan, Syraranto, where the regime of Kyriakos Tasoulas seiged against the ethnic Gurriana population for nearly two years

SELIKA- President Emin Bisliev joined a unanimous session of Parliament where every MP present voted to recognize the recently discovered grave sites in Tirikan, Syraranto, as a genocide. The Sotoan Basin Union earlier voted to label the discovery of the graves and the massacres which preceded them as a genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Gurriana population of Syraranto's westernmost region. Bisliev called the genocide a "heartbreaking and gut-wrenching show of depravity, and a horrific example of the worst of humanity." Artaska is home to roughly 98,000 Gurriana people, most of whom are refugees from the civil war. They have long been oppressed by the Syrarantoan regime, known for being persecuted by the deeply secular and authoritarian regime for their unique religion, language, custom, and culture.

It is estimated currently that over 40,000 Gurriana were killed in systematic massacres near Tirikan over the course of the civil war in Syraranto, although the continued discovery of graves means the exact toll will likely be increasing over the course of the SBU-sanctioned investigation. And as details and first hand accounts of the massacres unfold, the stories detail a horrific situation for Gurriana peoples who remained in Syraranto despite the war.

President Bisliev met with leaders of the refugee Gurriana community in Artaska following the decision of the parliament, promising to help them recover economically from the war, return home if desired, and reunite them with family members or determine whether their family members were lost in the genocide.

"The Gurriana are resilient people," Bisliev said, "and the Artaskan people stand with you. This horrific act against your people, this attempt to destroy you, will not be the end of you. Your people persevere, and they always will."

Tasoulas' hostility toward the Gurriana people began upon his ascension to power and only amplified during the war. The socialist Kyriakos Tasoulas government came to power in 2015 through a emergency parliamentary election following the resignation of Mirakulo Eradon's government after a corruption scandal. The unrest in Syraranto continued largely with the 2016 Syraranto Revolution protests, which grew out of discontent with the Eradon government's growing suppression of civil liberties such as the right to gather in protest.

Tasoulas' government remained the dominant political authority in what had been a one-party state until the first multi-party election to the People's Council of Syraranto was held in 2017. On 31 January 2017, Tasoulas implemented a new constitution, which led to a national crisis. Unlike previous constitutions, this one did not require that the president of Syraranto be a Syraranto national, leading to fierce demonstrations in Covijo, Tirikan, Uuanain, and Jyiranua organized by the Balgita Nationalist Forces.

In response to these protests, Tasoulas implemented many strict rules against the Gurriana ethnic and religious group, which exists largely in the Western region of Syraranto and is the general makeup of the B.N.F., which Tasoulas declared a terrorist organization. The Gurriana were stripped of their right to work in government positions and their religious gatherings were largely suspended with the reason given being "houses of worship being used as areas to build dissent and anti-government coup planning."

A growing separatist and independence movement began to grow in Syraranto, especially in the West along the border with Cylata and Constantio. While militia groups did form in communities in the west, there were never instances of unprovoked violence between government and militia forces from January 2017 to July 2020. The B.N.F. became a heavily armed group, which restricted Tasoulas' government from operating in large oversight in the west, effectively creating a de-facto government under the B.N.F. and a largely Gurriana council.

ARMS DEAL WITH ZAMASTAN CREATES RIFT WITH TTPA AS AAYID SEEKS TO BREAKAWAY

Bin Aayid's new arms agreement with Zamastan and WEDA has put a strain on the diplomatic ties within the TTPA.

LEONRAU - President Nizaam bin Aayid signed a deal with the Zamastanian government and other WEDA member nations to purchase QA14 billion (Z$8 billion) in military arms, including 2 brand new Zamastanian Percilius-class guided missile destroyers and 10 Z-17 Condor fighter jets. The deal, one of the largest military purchases in Qolaysian history, has created a rift between bin Aayid's administration and the TTPA, which has generally strayed away from allowing its member states to participate in arms deals with WEDA due to their geopolitical rivalries. In particular, the governments of Drambenburg, Zalluabed, and Buckingla have expressed disappointment in bin Aayid's preference to Zamastanian military hardware over their own, which comes as WEDA continues to seek expansion into South Adula with the inclusion of Saint Croix and Bens in recent months.

The deal includes the purchasing of hundreds of pieces of missile defense batteries, firearms, and uniforms for new recruits, and also comes with a training program with the help of Zamastanian, Quetanan, and Emmirian advisors. The deal also comes as Qolaysia's government is seeking to distance itself from the TTPA militarily after years of tension, including the November 2020 coup attempt by army officials angry about the previous Kennard government's closer work with the TTPA. There are some within the Qolaysian government who are clinging to proposals which would permanently remove Qolaysia from the TTPA, with leaders in bin Aayid's cabinet calling for a committee to explore options to apply for WEDA membership.

President Bin Aayid himself has long expressed a desire to abandon the TTPA, and while running for election had pledged that he would bring Qolaysia out of the international organization by the end of his first year in office. This deal seems to be making good on that promise, at least in the opening stages, as neighboring SCB has officially joined WEDA and there are growing calls in the Qolaysian public to leave the TTPA in pursuit of more anonymity from the increasingly militarized organization.

Former-President Abiel Kennard's relationship with the TTPA was a strained and complicated one, as he himself admitted last week in an interview on QolayTV. The former president highlighted the pressure that the organization placed on him and his administration to remove certain elements of military leadership to allow for restructuring more in line with the TTPA's establishment in member nations. Additionally, Kennard had to use executive privilege to invoke a constitutional amendment to remove the separation of powers and authority afforded to the military, partially in response to the attempted November 2020 coup d'etat, but also because of increased pressure from TTPA heads to take a more overarching approach to the governance of their nations.

The Trans-Toyana Prosper Alliance, abbreviated to TTPA, is an international military and economic alliance which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration between its members and other countries. The TTPA was founded in 2002 in Drambenburg as the result of a deal with Beleroskov, which had recently overthrown their communist government. It eventually expanded into South Adula, with Qolaysia becoming the sixth member in 2006.

LE DOCUMENT DE MISAMBA

Pro-democracy demonstrations are held in Sifondo as interim-President Pupina announced elections would be scheduled next month.

ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR MAY, NGOTSHA BARRED FROM RUNNING

The interim government helmed by commander Nenge Pupina, a rebel fighter who fought to reclaim democracy alongside Unified Sera Government forces in the recently concluded military operations, stated that national elections to reinstate a democratic government were scheduled for May 28th. President Mlamuli Ngotsha has returned to Apatonia after nearly three months of self-imposed exile in Qolaysia, following a month since his ouster Prime Minister Michel Lukonde fled the country for Elastan. However, Ngotsha has been barred by the interim government from running.

Interim-President Nenge Pupina, who was thrusted into power after the fall of Sifondo and the surrender of Lukonde's regime last month, has stated firmly that "any Apatonian may seek their desire to reinstate democracy," but instigated a sense of fury from some who seek to restore the office previously held by President Mlamuli, who sought asylum in Qolaysia after a coup by Lukonde's supporters ousted his government.

"The simple reality is that President Mlamuli, while well intentioned, spurred the violence which reaked over our great nation in the past years. It is clear that he does not possess an ability to lead us out of a civil conflict, and our interim government has unilaterally agreed to bar his running for President in these coming elections," interim-President Pupina stated.

Mlamuli, who was not in Apatonia at the time of the coup, never spoke publicly about the Seran invasion which helped rebel forces overthrow Lukonde's tyrannical regime last month. Upon landing in Sifondo, flashing a smile and his famous peace-sign with his hand, Mlamuli was apparently not aware of the decision of the interim government and clung to a belief that he was to be reinstated as President upon arrival. Flanked by bodyguards, Mlamuli spoke to reporters on the runway of Azikiwe International Airport, saying "I have returned to Apatonia, my great country which I love, to take claim back to my elected office."

Those furious with Mlamuli's escape from the conflict's most recent phase, which experts believe killed over 50,000 people since January, have called Mlamuli's comments 'tone deaf' and 'misled', with some believing Mlamuli may not have been aware of the situation while in asylum, or his officers who escaped Lukonde's purge may have been feeding him misinformation. Another opinion, prompted by former-Interior Minister James Etémé who is running for President in the new elections, is that Mlamuli is just like Lukonde.

"Mlamuli and Lukonde are one in the same," James Etémé said. "They both care only about their power. Lukonde massacred those who threatened him, and while Mlamuli may have never killed anyone out of opposition, his comments on the runway are a sheer sign that he does not care for those who sacrificed their lives to reclaim the democracy which he is supposed to uphold."

James Etémé served as the Interior Minister under Mlamuli, and he was able to escape the purge following Lukonde's takeover by joining rebel forces in the holdout city of Wabi. He, alongside with interim-President Pupina, were instrumental in the joining with Seran forces and the recapture of Sifondo. He announced his intention to run for President in the May 28th referendum under the New Democracy Party. Another rebel leader, Kimbu Mejo'o, announced his intention under the Agei Party. Despite ideological disagreements, both men agree that Mlamuli should not run.

"I don't agree with Mr. James Etémé on many things," Mejo'o said, "but he would be a person I would not be frightened about becoming the leader of Apatonia. I cannot truthfully say the same about Mlamuli."

James Etémé's response regarding Mejo'o were strikingly similar, saying "Commander Mejo'o is a distinctive and brave man despite our disagreements. Apatonians need not be worried should he win the election. Mlamuli's leadership is not wanted nor warranted, nor would or should we allow it to be."

SAINT RANEAU TIMES
ALBARINE DESIGNATES TIRIKAN MASSACRE AS GENOCIDE
Estimates of the death toll are wide ranging, but the Albarinean government believes it is around 60,000 people

Chancellor Melhaven speaks after designating the Tirikan Massacres as a genocide.

SAINT RANEAU - Chancellor Sadie Melhaven signed an executive decision and the National Assembly passed a unanimous bill designating the series of massacres against the Gurriana in the western Syrarantoan city of Tirikan as a genocide, making it the first member state of WEDA to officially do so. Chancellor Melhaven issued a statement on Sunday morning, calling the developments from the ongoing SBU-led investigations into war crimes in the Nortuan nation a "shocking and heartbreaking stain on the cultural history of Nortua." President Phil Alias, speaking after the decision of the National Assembly, called the genocide a "reminder to the world on the importance of standing up to those who seek to demolish and obliterate society."

"The Gurriana people, their history, culture, and identity, were purposefully targeted by the evil regime of Kyriakos Tasoulas and his malicious officers in this genocide," Chancellor Melhaven said on Sunday. The Chancellor also spoke with members of the Albarinean Gurriana community, which numbers around 3,000 individuals but has been an outspoken and vocal advocate for their relatives in Syraranto during the course of the war. "Albarine's Gurriana community, while small in number, feel this pain resonating from far away as we await word on the fates of their families, friends, and others in Tirikan. Across Syraranto, families are coming back from refuge and internal displacement to find their homes destroyed and lives turned upside down. Our government will be here for the Gurriana community and for continued support for Syrarantoan refugees."

Continued investigations led by the Sotoan Basin Union in Western Syraranto uncovered hundreds of mass graves containing tens of thousands of human remains, many of whom have been identified as members of the Gurriana ethnic group. The Gurriana have long been oppressed by Syrarantoan governments, and in particular the Kyriakos Tasoulas regime entered into constitutional law several restrictions against them and created an atmosphere of antagonism against the group. Tasoulas often referred to the ethnicity as "enemies of the state" and early in the civil war intentionally targeted neighborhoods belonging to Gurriana families.

Most of the 3,000 Gurriana individuals living in Albarine entered the country in the last two years as refugees from the conflict, which recently entered a new phase winding down after the fall of Tasoulas' regime. A leading spokesperson of the Gurriana community in Albarine, Dr. Kerekes Gyula, called the government's decision a "good progression towards justice for our people," and affirmed his thanks for Chancellor Melhaven by saying "she has long advocated for human rights and against those who prop up contributors to human suffering, so my thanks and appreciation go out to Ms. Melhaven and her support for us."

Helniemi beat Viitaniemi to win their third straight national title. April 24th, 2022
HELNIEMI 2-0 VIITANIEMI: REDS WIN NATIONAL CUP

Viitaniemi - Helniemi beat struggling Viitaniemi to complete a remarkable, albeit short, return to the top of the Caspiaa League. The Reds trailed Viitaniemi by 14 points on 15 April , but a 10th straight league win in the early kick-off at a raucous Hestedt took them above Kandona FC's side, whom they meet on 30 April. However, Saullaine won 2-0 at struggling Misk later on Sunday to restore their one-point lead with eight games left.

Ketil Waaler's 20th club goal of the season and his third in as many appearances in a Helniemi shirt - 34 seconds after Børge Rye made a huge save to deny Martin Aagard - helped seal a tense win. Forward Waaler jumped between two Viitaniemi defenders to meet a cross and head past Preben Lindahl as Christoffer Tufte marked only his second league start of the season with an assist. Odin Mannes's late penalty - after Jo Tollefsrud's rugby-style challenge on Waaler - secured the points.

Despite sealing a potentially significant win, Helniemi were not at their fluent best. Tormod Homme wasted a glorious chance to equalise in the second half as Viitaniemi remain third from bottom, three points from safety. Helnimi returned to the top of the table - albeit for a couple of hours - for the first time since early October, and at the start of the final push towards what would be a historic quadruple. They face San Beausoliel in the quarter-finals of the Euronia League in Rio Palito on Tuesday before going to Saullaine in what many are billing as the game that could decide the title.

Helniemi, already West Cup winners, started the penultimate month of the campaign - in which they also face Saullaine at Nordrun in the West Cup semi-finals - with a hard-earned win in a game where the result was more important than the performance. Rye had already denied Marcus Laake when he spread himself to block Aagard, before Waaler pounced moments later.

DAKOTA PRESIDENTIAL PALACE STORMED; MUNDEAN GOVERNMENT OVERTHROWN

Regional · April 24, 2022 · Dakota, Munde · Nejo Vergeri

Starting Friday, the protestors in Munde have a push to overthrow the regime of Niĉjo Pagalo through force. Munde cut down communications starting a week after the beginning of the protests on April 1st, which was an attempt to cut down information spread and to end contact with the rest of Kaoro, most of spread anti-Mundean government ideas. This, however, failed, as many protestors had already spread word of the brutality occurring at Dakota's Star Square.

The Mundean police, tired and some not wanting to fight against their own civilians, turned against the Mundean government at Star Square on April 11th. Central Dakota was quickly occupied by protesters, where many found temporary residence in local hotels, which also had turned against the government. More police sieged the central city, in an attempt to surround and stop the protestors from further advancing the city. However, these forces also had a secret distrust towards the government, and they later negotiated with the protest leaders to join the rebellion.

After these failures, the protestors set their next target: The presidential palace of the Mundean leader, the occupation of the home of the dictator himself: Niĉjo Pagalo. By the 19th, protestors were making a move towards west Dakota, where Pagalo's palace was located. The palace also contains the home of his family, and several Mundean government officials who operate inside of the palace.

The next day, Mundeans were camping outside the palace, day and night attempting to create a plan to take the palace. By Saturday, a shocking discovery had made it to the rest of Kaoro from someone who was able to contact family: The guards of the palace who were blocking entry also joined the rebellion. This morning, thousands of protestors stormed, and within hours, fully took the palace. Pagalo, who had yet to find out that his guards had left him, was unable to escape, along with everyone else living in the building. Along with the occupation of the palace, thousands more made the push to occupy other important governmental buildings, including the Mundean parliament. The current government of Munde has collapsed as we know it, with important government buildings under rebel rule.

Pagalo's location is currently unknown, along with everyone else who was living in the presidential palace. Communications have returned to Munde, and Mundean protest leaders have announced plans to go towards the process for an interim government and free elections.

President Furman on Tirikan Massacre: "Shocking, disgusting, and saddening"

International · April 23, 2022 · Kaoro City, Kaoro State · Riefo Kui
Today, President Furman gave remarks on the Tirikan Massacre in western Syraranto. Mass graves were discovered Friday, which could be holding up to tens of thousands of remains of ethnic Gurriana in the country 2 months after the death of Kyriakos Tasoulas, the president of the Syrarantoan regime.

In the remarks, he said the following:
"Today, I'm shocked to hear the massacre of ethnic Gurriana in Syraranto, in Tirikan. This barbaric act further shows the colors of the Syrarantoan regime, led by the now deceased Kyriakos Tasoulas. Those responsible for this shocking, disgusting, and saddening act should pay the price for what they've done, an action that can barely even be called human. Kaoro will be for the Gurriana community, who had to flee their country from conflict and may have to return without a home. We stand with you, your culture will last an eternity, no matter who tries to stop it."

QOLAYSIA LEAVES TTPA, WEDA MEMBERSHIP LIKELY AS AAYID SEEKS INCLUSION

President Nizaam bin Aayid attends a military ceremony hours after announcing the withdrawal of Qolaysia from the TTPA.

LEONRAU - Qolaysia has officially withdrawn from the Trans-Toyana Prosper Alliance as President Nizaam bin Aayid seeks to place his administration in the good graces of the Western Euronia Defense Alliance (WEDA), otherwise known as the Olympic Defense Alliance (ODA). Aayid stated in his speech following the announcement of the dropout that "Qolaysia harbors no ill will towards the member states of the TTPA," and that he hopes to "continue friendly relationships with these nations" despite "severe disagreements which led to the decision to withdraw from the organization."

Bin Aayid's distrust and rifts with the TTPA have been long simmering. As the leader of the PQP, Aayid led opposition to Kennard's alignment with the TTPA. During his governorship of Temebok province, Aayid often lambasted the Kennard administration for the economic reliance on the TTPA, especially after the 2021 earthquake and tsunami. During that disaster, then-governor Aayid sought relief help from Zamastan and other nations instead of TTPA states, and ultimately WEDA member nations provided more than 80% of the humanitarian relief funds.

Aayid openly discussed the possibility of applying for WEDA membership, a prospect which seems likely when considering the recent expansion of the organization into South Adula, particularly in the neighboring nation of Saint Croix and Bens. Already this weekend, President Nizaam bin Aayid signed a deal with the Zamastanian government and other WEDA member nations to purchase QA14 billion (Z$8 billion) in military arms, including 2 brand new Zamastanian Percilius-class guided missile destroyers and 10 Z-17 Condor fighter jets. The deal, one of the largest military purchases in Qolaysian history, created a wider rift between bin Aayid's administration and the TTPA, which has generally strayed away from allowing its member states to participate in arms deals with WEDA due to their geopolitical rivalries.

In particular, the governments of Drambenburg, Zalluabed, and Buckingla have expressed disappointment in bin Aayid's preference to Zamastanian military hardware over their own. The deal includes the purchasing of hundreds of pieces of missile defense batteries, firearms, and uniforms for new recruits, and also comes with a training program with the help of Zamastanian, Quetanan, and Emmirian advisors. The deal also comes as Qolaysia's government is seeking to distance itself from the TTPA militarily after years of tension, including the November 2020 coup attempt by army officials angry about the previous Kennard government's closer work with the TTPA.

President Bin Aayid himself has long expressed a desire to abandon the TTPA, and while running for election had pledged that he would bring Qolaysia out of the international organization by the end of his first year in office. This deal seems to be making good on that promise, at least in the opening stages, as neighboring SCB has officially joined WEDA and there are growing calls in the Qolaysian public to leave the TTPA in pursuit of more anonymity from the increasingly militarized organization.

Former-President Abiel Kennard's relationship with the TTPA was a strained and complicated one, as he himself admitted last week in an interview on QolayTV. The former president highlighted the pressure that the organization placed on him and his administration to remove certain elements of military leadership to allow for restructuring more in line with the TTPA's establishment in member nations. Additionally, Kennard had to use executive privilege to invoke a constitutional amendment to remove the separation of powers and authority afforded to the military, partially in response to the attempted November 2020 coup d'etat, but also because of increased pressure from TTPA heads to take a more overarching approach to the governance of their nations.

The Trans-Toyana Prosper Alliance, abbreviated to TTPA, is an international military and economic alliance which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration between its members and other countries. The TTPA was founded in 2002 in Drambenburg as the result of a deal with Beleroskov, which had recently overthrown their communist government. It eventually expanded into South Adula, with Qolaysia becoming the sixth member in 2006.

TASIASTAN National News

Women celebrate the legalization of 24 week abortions in Tasiastan.

TASIASTAN LEGALIZES ABORTION
Abortions in Tasiastan have been legalized until the 24th week of pregnancy.
Ibrim Akarsja reporting from Jaljur, Tasiastan
25 April, 2022

Tasiastan became the first country in Central Ausiana to legalize abortion in the Constitution, with expanded access to abortion as the nation’s Constitutional Court voted to legalize the procedure until the 24th week of pregnancy. The decision by the tribunal of nine judges fell short of the expectations of pro-choice groups that had been pushing for abortion to be completely decriminalized in Tasiastan. But it was nevertheless described as a historic event by women’s rights groups, which estimate 1,000,000 women get clandestine abortions in the country each year. President Haajid Swati, who while being a member of the progressive New Democracy Party, has never endorsed abortion rights in the largely conservative belief-held nation, but called the developments a "sign of progress for the social and autonomous fabric of individualism and health decisions in Tasiastan."

Before the ruling, Tasiastan allowed abortions only when a woman’s life was in danger, a fetus had malformations or a pregnancy resulted from rape. Now women in Tasiastan will be able to get abortions until the 24th week of their pregnancy without having to provide any justification. After the 24th week of pregnancy, abortion will still face restrictions.

“We were trying to get the complete decriminalization of abortion … but this is still a historic step,” said Asefeh Mighiana, a lawyer for the Jaljur-based Center for Reproductive Rights, an advocacy group that was one of five organizations that filed a lawsuit in 2020 to get the high court to review Tasiastan's abortions laws. The lawsuit argued that restrictions on abortion discriminated against women from low income areas for whom it was harder to get legal abortions, because they had less access to doctors, lawyers or psychologists who could help them to prove that carrying out pregnancies would put their health at risk.

Mighiana said the changes made to Tasiastani law will now make it easier for people of lower income levels to access safe abortions.

“Our challenge now is to ensure that this ruling is implemented” she said.

Elsewhere in Central Ausiana, Elastan also allow abortions without restrictions until certain stages of pregnancy, while in Haduastan a provincial supreme court ruling recently said that women cannot cannot be tried in court for terminating their pregnancies, though it remains illegal throughout the rest of the country. Central Ausiana is also a region where some countries prohibit the termination of pregnancy without exception, like in Jaginistan, Kylastan, and Pekastan.

In Tasiastan, where a majority of the population identifies as Hindi or Muslim, abortion has long been a controversial issue. Judges met several times to review the lawsuit filed by women’s rights groups without voting on it. Meanwhile pro-choice groups waving green flags, faced off against pro-life protesters dressed in blue. Koohyar Ansari, an activist for the pro-life group United for Life, said he was surprised by Monday’s decision. “We don’t understand how this happened” he said. “But we will have to stage protests, and call on members of parliament to regulate abortion.”

A poll conducted last year in Tasiastan said that 25 percent of people considered abortion a crime, while 42 percent disagreed with that statement. In Tasiastan, women who get illegal abortions can face up to ten years in prison.

LUMBELL, PRO-ANS CANDIDATE, WINS ELECTION. BUSHORE CONCEDES
Published at 2022-04-26 12:12
Reported by Ellian Smith
Tagged as Politics, topic2
Prime Minister-elect Robert Lumbell

The winner of last weekend's parliamentary election in Saint Offeat said Tuesday he hopes to have a new government formed by mid-June. Robert Lumbell, the leader of the Freedom Movement party, spoke after meeting with Prime Minister Lynne Bushore, who conceded on Saturday in the election. Lumbell, a former business executive who only entered politics several months ago, is set to become Saint Offeat's next prime minister. Lumbell's Freedom Movement convincingly won the election, defeating the right-wing Offeat Democratic Party of current Prime Minister Lynne Bushore.

Freedom Movement, a liberal-green party, is expected to form a coalition government with two other center-left groups: the Social Democrats and the Left party. Only five parties have made it over the 4% threshold in the election in the small ANS nation of 6.7 million people. Lumbell said he would like to have an “operational” government before the start of summer holiday season. He added he would seek wider support for what he described as “restructuring” in the country for the next decade.

“We have to carry out an internal reform,” Lumbell said. “We will try to reach a national agreement for the new era in Saint Offeat.”

Bushore, the outgoing prime minister, has faced accusations of curbing civic liberties and pushing traditionally moderate Saint Offeat to the right. Her administration also tried to push Saint Offeat out of the Alliance of Nortuan States, something that Lumbell says he will never do.

The election of Lumbell and the Freedom Movement is the latest in a wave of liberal-leaning governments winning elections in Nortua, pushing out more right-wing and anti-Alliance of Nortuan States administrations. Despite being a small member of the ANS, Saint Offeat was an important edition early on when they joined in 1998.

Lumbell also seeks to expand civil rights protections in the constitution, which he says include the right to legalized abortion, same-sex marriage expansions, and marijuana legalization.

Breaking News: Forces Move Into Azil: King Salar Captured on Day 1

^{SHARE THIS:}

Timothy Barns (@TBarns)
^{April 26th, 2022 | Infinity, Timeria}

TImerian and Somodian forces moved into Azil in the early hours Monday morning. Defense officials announced that King Salar was captured and is currently being held at an undisclosed location in Somodi. King Salar was captured after Timerian and Somodian special forces launched an operation into Tomarka during the initial strike on key military infrastructure in the area. The forces were able to reach Salar’s estate by helicopter and secure the location while forces landed from Somyost Island. Special forces were able to locate Salar trying to flee and held the location until being reinforced by Timerian Marines a few hours later. Despite the capture of Salar there is still heavy fighting going on around Tomarka as some forces continue to put up resistance.

Across the rest of Azil the majority of coalition forces have yet to cross the border into Azil. General Martinez has confirmed complete air superiority in Azil but has delayed the movement of troops until recon forces contact their battalion commanders. Despite the lack of ground activity coalition aircraft have been flying constant sorties into Azil, including B-17 supersonic bombers. One of the major issues being discussed now is the failure to capture Wormwood Detention center; where Azil is believed to be holding a majority of its political prisoners. The prison is located deep within Azil and command had determined that resistance was still too high in the area to launch an assault. With the capture of King Salar and the landing in Tomarka going well analysis believes that an operation to liberate the prison could launch at any time.

With the operation going well many are wondering how Azil will recover from a war. Timerian policymakers are working to pass a number of emergency measures to ensure stability and development in Azil. Timeria’s CCA Ambassador is also working closely with the organization to support the nation and incorporate it into the international order. Many within Timeria’s government have also expressed interest in King Salar being judged by the World Court. There is hope that this could continue to boost security across Adula as the continent continues to be engulfed in conflict.

The Department of Defense has also confirmed Timerian and Somodian casualties but have yet to release exact numbers. They were also able to confirm that no aircraft have been lost since the start of operations in Azil.
