Sword's Edge: Sierra Leone-Kelvenya Missile Crisis

Location: The bustling capital city of Freetown, Sierra Leone.

Time: Present day, amidst rising tensions between Sierra Leone and its neighbor, Kelvenya.

Characters:

President Kadiatu Kamara: The composed and pragmatic leader of Sierra Leone, dedicated to protecting her nation's sovereignty.

General Malik Kamara: The stern and decisive military leader, entrusted with the defense of Sierra Leone's borders.

Prime Minister Kwame Osei: The diplomatic voice, advocating for peaceful resolutions in times of conflict.

President Malaika Nzimande: The enigmatic and ambitious leader of Kelvenya, seeking to expand her nation's influence at any cost.

Colonel Amara Bangura: The cunning and resourceful military strategist, serving as General Malik's right-hand man.

Act 1: Rising Tensions

Tensions between Sierra Leone and Kelvenya have reached a boiling point over disputed territory along their shared border. President Kamara addresses the nation, emphasizing the importance of defending Sierra Leone's sovereignty while still advocating for diplomatic solutions.

Act 2: The Missile Crisis Unfolds

Intelligence reports indicate suspicious activity on Kelvenya's side of the border, suggesting the deployment of missile systems capable of reaching Sierra Leonean territory. In a late-night emergency meeting, President Kamara and her advisors weigh their options.

President Nzimande of Kelvenya denies any aggressive intentions, but Sierra Leone remains vigilant. Prime Minister Osei reaches out to international mediators, seeking to de-escalate the situation.

Act 3: Diplomacy and Deterrence

As tensions escalate, Sierra Leone deploys additional troops to its borders as a show of strength. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes, with neighboring countries and international organizations urging both sides to exercise restraint.

In a bold move, Colonel Bangura leads a reconnaissance mission to gather evidence of Kelvenya's military buildup. Their findings confirm the presence of advanced missile systems, heightening fears of an imminent attack.

Act 4: The Brink of Conflict

With diplomatic efforts faltering, President Kamara addresses the nation once again, reassuring her people that Sierra Leone is prepared to defend itself against any aggression. However, she emphasizes the importance of exhausting all peaceful options before resorting to military action.

In a last-ditch effort to avoid war, Prime Minister Osei proposes a summit between President Kamara and President Nzimande, mediated by neutral parties. Both leaders cautiously agree, recognizing the catastrophic consequences of a full-scale conflict.

Act 5: A Fragile Peace

The summit takes place in a neutral location, with international observers present to ensure fairness. After intense negotiations, a breakthrough is achieved as both leaders agree to a temporary ceasefire and the withdrawal of missile systems from the disputed border region.

While tensions remain high, the threat of all-out war has been averted, at least for the time being. Sierra Leone and Kelvenya commit to ongoing dialogue and diplomatic engagement to address their underlying grievances and prevent future crises.

The Sword's Edge crisis serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between diplomacy and deterrence in the face of regional conflicts, showcasing the importance of leadership, strategic thinking, and international cooperation in maintaining peace and stability.

Ekon Hamidi Captured

Following the intense battle at Van Zylrus, most objectives were achieved. However, the failure to capture Ekon Hamidi dealt a significant blow to the Federal Intelligence Service (FIS). In response to his escape, the FIS launched a comprehensive search across the Northern Cape to apprehend him before he could find refuge. Recognizing the urgency of the mission, the Red Star Unit (RSE) was swiftly deployed to key areas where Hamidi might attempt to hide.

During a village search, RSE operatives observed suspicious activity by a masked individual entering a house. With two soldiers stationed outside and two knocking on the door, they forced entry upon receiving no response. Inside, they encountered a man and his two daughters, visibly distressed by the intrusion, the man had exclaimed that they dont have the right to barge into his house nor the legal documents for it and that any law enforcement needs a warrant, but, undeterred the soldiers simply said that they are an exception.

Then the soldiers explained their presence, citing suspicious activity in the vicinity. After a tense exchange, the man reluctantly agreed to cooperate, hastily hugging and instructing his daughters to leave. As the interrogation progressed, it became evident that Hamidi and two RANF soldiers were concealed in the basement.

An RSE soldier abruptly confronted the man: "I heard movement below us. Why?"

The man's response was evasive: "I'm not sure. Why do you ask?"

Undeterred, the soldier pressed on: "Why did you send your daughters away so quickly?"

The man's demeanor faltered: "I... I thought they might distract us during our conversation.."

With mounting suspicion, the soldier leaned in: "You're harboring enemies of the State, aren't you?"

The man's admission was hesitant: "Yes."

The soldier's accusation was direct: "They're under your floorboards, aren't they?"

The man, overcome with emotion, confessed: "Yes."

Before the RSE soldier could further ask questions the man quickly pulled a pistol from under his table but before he could shoot the soldier disarmed him and shot him, after that chaos ensued with Ekon Hamidi and his men, sensing they've been found began shooting through the floor boards and fled through a hole they found and a chase between the RSE and Ekon Hamidi began, relentlessly the RSE soldiers tracked the Hamidi and his men until after 2 hours of chasing they finally got caught with his men being executed and Ekon Hamidi being badly beaten until unconscious.

Now Transvaall has one of Dikembe Nkrumah Abara's right hand men in their hands and is a great victory in the fight against the RANF in Transvaall, whilst the entire event of him being captured is classified, Transvaall simply states that their forces was able to capture him when he was trying to escape to Zamorika.

The RSE is a special task force so classified that even Transvaalls closest allies no nothing about them due to them being a force that do not follow any laws and are free to do Anything in order to accomplish a task whether it be in Transvaall or another country, they are permitted and allowed to commit any crime, attack or action in order to complete the mission and the only men they follow and take orders from are a select few in the Government, The force was initially created by President Johannes Louie Benedict and has since been of absolute classified nature, everything from their identities, appearances, names, and government documents are closely classified and secret, they are men completely dedicated to Transvaall and have been trained to never fail in a task their Fatherland gives them, dressed in all black and often in coats and masks they will continue to defend the grand United Socialist States of Transvaall. For the People, and our social democratic values.

Topic: RANF Advances and Battle of Abaji
Concerned Authorities: Zamorika, Indian Armed Forces, Ministry of Defense
Date: 11 May 2024

With order back in the lines, Indian Armed Forces Europe and Africa Command can confirm that during the RANF's Operation Rise, Indian Army suffered 92 Killed in Action and 272 Wounded in Action along with 182 Missing in Action. 125 OBF Aditya MRAPs were destroyed/damaged beyond repair. 21 had to be abandoned and were later destroyed by Airstrikes to avoid capture.

To make matters worse, Scouts have reported that RANF have launched advances against Abuja.

4,000 RANF Fighters along with support from 20 Technicals (Toyota Hilux) and 12 PT-76 Light Tanks attacked the first city on their way to Abuja, Abaji.

Abaji was held by the Zulu Brigade of the Divisional Tactical Group Abuja under the Command of Brigadier Z.W Khan, who took over the Brigade after the reorganization. The Brigade consists of 33rd, 39th and 53rd Rashtriya Rifles Battalions (859 Personnels, 83 MRAPs, 40 Ashok Leyland Stallion Trucks, 26 Mahendra Armado Infantry Mobile Vehicles each).

The 33rd RR was deployed for the defense of Abaji, 53rd RR for the defense of Akori and 39th RR for the defense of Kwana and Date.

At 6:37AM, 11 May, Local time, RANF started its attack, 2,000 Fighters with 10 Technicals and 6 PT-76 attacked Abaji. First skirmishes were fought at the LEA Board Building.

RANF fighters pressed their advance, the southern part of the town was defended by the Alpha and Delta Companies of the 33rd Rashtriya Rifles Battalion. They defeated the first attack by 7:21AM, but they were again attacked at 7:55AM. A PT-76 was destroyed by a MILAN ATGM, 500m north of the Abuja Area Council Secretariat. RANF continued its attack but withdrew its PT-76s after another one was hit by the side of LEA Primary School, Naharati Tsoho by a Section Carl Gustav, disabling it and leading to its abandonment at 9:12AM.

By 10:28AM, Alpha and Delta Companies, which were slowly being pushed back by RANF fighters using RPGs to blow up walls and compromising the buildings, withdrew to the treeline dividing the city from its southern part. A OBF Aditya MRAP was struck by an RPG on its wheel while evacuating the withdrawing forces but was able to make it back, but soon withdrawn as damage requiries factory rebuild as the tire was obliterated and the engines badly damaged. RANF did not continue its assault and instead consolidated its gains.

At 11:23AM, they attacked Akori which was defended by 53rd Rashtriya Rifles's Bravo and Delta Companies. Ebagi Village was captured by RANF without resistance but its 200 strong force failed to capture Akori as they walked right into a Company level ambush inside the village, forcing them to withdraw by 12:09PM.

RANF attacked Kwana and Date with 400 Fighters and 10 Technicals at 14:41 PM. The 39th Rashtriya Rifles's Alpha and Bravo Companies defended Kwana and Date respectively. RANF focused on capturing Date, leading 300 fighters and all its Technicals into the village. Bravo Company, which had already taken losses during Operation Rise which included its Company Commander (WIA and airlifted to Abuja for treatment) struggled against the volume of fire by RANF and withdrew from the village into the forest in the north and western parts of the village by 16:17PM.

Thankfully Indian Air Force's Jaguars came to the rescue, providing critical close air support via its guns to rip through the RANF assault, finally forcing it to call off the further assault towards Kwana by 17:52 PM.

Overall Indian Forces prevented a major breakthrough attempt by RANF, but Brigadier Z.W Khan thinks that they will attempt again with a greater force. Indian Forces suffered 6 Soldiers Killed in Action and 22 Soldiers Wounded in Action (20 requiring field medical attention), 1 MRAP was mission killed and forced to be withdrawn from the field for factory rebuild.

Brigadier Z.W Khan also complained to his Officers about their lack of use of their Armored Vehicles, going as far to smash his plastic table into two by throwing a powerful fist to show his anger. Division might have been formed but in reality, the Division lacks most of the things that makes it an actual Division as units and equipment are still being airlifted. Brigadier Z.W Khan said, “We were just lucky that RANF is stupid and willing to throw men at us like garbage in a bin. Remember gentlemen, we lose this town, we lose Abuja and then all of Zamorika. I want better performance tomorrow or we all would be laying dead.”

Diplomatic Relations, 11th May, 2024

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

"The Republic's expanded diplomatic core forms an important part of the countries foreign policy focus. Continued global volatility could be solved with diplomatic solutions over armed ones and the Republic continues to operate an expansive diplomatic network with countries on the African continent and across the world in the hopes of strengthening peace over conflict.

The Republic would like to formerly recognise the territorial integrity of the West African republic of Kelvenya, the Kingdom of NewStettin, the Commonwealth of Witstrand, the Republic of Independent Zimbabwe, the Republic of African Lossolia, and the Independent Kingdom of Sudoeste.

We hope that recognition is mutual and represents an important part of international diplomacy between our states. The Ministry has also begun appointing ambassadors and assigning diplomatic teams should the following states agree to exchange embassies, with the diplomatic teams briefed on the their assigned countries political situation and the Republic's own positions on matters in regard to the assigned nation. All members of the Diplomatic Corp are vetted by the Ministry, and should a nation take issue with an appointed individual or team, the Ministry will accommodate their request where possible. The Republic assigns a single Ambassador, First Counsellor, and several secretaries of varying rank, as well as embassy support staff, but should relations with a state grow the Nubian embassy in that state will receive additional members. The Republic will also begin preparations should the accepting nations reciprocate with their own embassy teams, whereby the Republic will allocate space along St Mark's Road. The appointed ambassadors are as follows:

The appointed Ambassadors are as follows:

Independent Kingdom of Sudoeste: Khairy Erian (f)
West African republic of Kelvenya: Younsi Onan (m)
Kingdom of NewStettin: Adam Sawiris (m)
the Commonwealth of Witstrand: Ester Habib (f)
Republic of Independent Zimbabwe: Adel Azer (m)
Republic of African Lossolia: Adam Onan (m)

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is also moving the following ambassadors from other states to the following new ones:

Gran Federation of Akzvoria: Gawdat Serapion (m)
Arab Socialist Jamahiriya of Cobra Sahara: Azer Beshara (m)
Republic of Independent Zimbabwe: Nassaf Bassily (m)
Sultanate of Kamcundo: Nabih Habib (m)"

"As a way of strengthening ties between our nations, we are able to recognize the ambassador appointed to occupy the Embassy of Lower Nubia.
We will be appointing ambassadors who will stay at the embassies, but due to the crisis currently experienced in the Sudoeste, it will take a few days to appoint the ambassadors.
We will be collaborating with the government and will respect the sovereignty of the embassy."

Nubian-Iranian Strategic Agreement (NISA), 12th May, 2024

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

“The Republic is presenting a strategic partnership to the Kingdom of Indopersia to strengthen bi-lateral ties before the Kingdom’s ascension to The Co-Economic Defense Organization (CEDO). The Republic wants to maintain additional means of cooperation outside of the CEDO framework which would allow our two countries to work on other strategic areas of foreign policy, defence, and commerce. This position was also echoed by the Indopersian Ambassador to the Republic, George Sabra.

Iran and Nubia represent ancient cultures and traditions stretching back thousands of years in the region; a historical connection that has persevered against many threats and won more triumphs. A strategic partnership between our countries would help secure the region and minimise risks and maximise rewards.

As such the government has called for a 6 point cooperation plan for any strategic partnership as follows:

A - Meeting of head of states, or appointed authorities, to meet in the capital of Indopersia, Nisa, to discuss and evaluate cooperation in the areas of Middle Eastern Politics, military training, and growth and investment initiatives between the two countries and how best to deepen that cooperation for mutual benefit in the future.

B - Military attaches and training operations between each nation’s forces across different branches of their respective armed forces, including war games and exercises appropriate to the current geopolitical climate.

C - Encourage regulatory standardisation and commerce friendly regulation environments that increase Iranian and Nubian businesses to operate and invest between the two countries, this includes increasing investment in infrastructure in either state to facilitate trade and decarbonisation of economic activity.

D - Support regulatory and economic positions for either nation’s people moving and working in the other’s country to become naturalised or receive benefit or education in the other to foster unity between our two ancient peoples.

E - Cooperation of strategic goods production and export on the international market to reduce trade friction and maximise revenues on either countries produce, this will limit volatility in prices that could present risk in strategic planning and investment.

F - Declaration of permanent non-aggression, mutual security guarantees, and Iranian-Nubian friendship, in geopolitical exchanges between the countries; to cement peace and strengthen the positions of the Iranian and Nubian people and their respective governments. This would represent support for either state in their geopolitical affairs and establish recognition of the other’s aims and goals in their individual partners or neighbours.

Such a treaty would necessitate an expansion of the diplomatic corp of the Republic in Indopersia to facilitate both the CEDO ascension process and this possible bi-lateral treaty.”

- Maged Sidhom, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in a document released to the Nubian Ambassador, Onsi Ebeid, in Nisa and Indopersian Ambassador in Napata, George Sabra.

Topic: Battle of Abaji and Counter Attacks towards Makurdi
Concerned Authorities: Zamorika, Indian Armed Forces, Ministry of Defense
Date: 12 May 2024

With defenses tested on 11 May, RANF launched another assault, this time on FCT University of Science and Technology, where Zulu Brigade HQ is located. At 3:26 AM 12 May, local time, a 300 Strong RANF force left the Nawaranti village and began a 3.5 Km walk to the university. They finally reached undetected at 5:17 AM and launched their assault.

The University was been defended by Charlie Company of 53rd Rashtriya Rifles Battalion and other elements of the Brigade Headquarters. First shots were fired in the form of a RPG which missed its intended target, soon RANF fighters rushed in. Charlie Company and Brigade HQ troops began to open up every single weapon they had in their arsenal, Even the Brigade Commander, Brigadier Z.W Khan pulled out its Pistol to fight off the RANF. The local RANF commander, realizing that the Brigade HQ must be forced to withdraw, continued the attack despite heavy losses from Indian mortars and machine guns.

The Brigade HQ was finally withdrew at 7:17 AM and in a rather spectacular fashion as the Subedar Major of the Brigade pulled Brigadier Z.W Khan to an MRAP who was still yelling and waving his pistol around, saying that they all must stand till last man last bullet. Apparently the Brigade's Second-in-Command, a Colonel, decided that preservation of forces is a far more important thing then making a last stand which wouldn't have stopped the RANF advances anyways.

33rd Rashtriya Rifles Battalion which was fighting for Abaji had to withdraw at 9:51 AM after the situation in the west, as it opened a flank on their side. The Bravo Company of the Battalions fought rearguard actions with air support to allow the evacuation of the Battalion. The defense moved up north, with the most foward location been the Nestle Water Factory which is now been held by the Delta Company while the Bravo Company Company setted up defenses on the hills just a little south of the factory. Brigade Headquarters was moved to Wako.

53rd Rashtriya Rifles Battalion also pulled back from Akori and settle for the defense of Landadzhi and Agena Villages. 53rd Rashtriya Rifles have taken over the defenses west of A2 highway while 33rd Rashtriya Rifles have taken the defense of the areas east of A2.

With the situation around Abaji, 39th Rashtriya Rifles have pulled back to defend Atako and Toto. 29th Rashtriya Rifles Battalion from the Golf Brigade was rushed from Loko to secure Umaish and Ugya to prevent RANF from advancing east towards Loko.

As the situation around Abaji detoriates, Divisional Tactical Group Abuja's Commander, Major General Rana Gupta decided that a counter attack is needed in the area to pull away RANF fighters. Hence Hotel Brigade was ordered to attack the RANF bridgehead around Makurdi.

So at 13:16 PM, 23 Rashtriya Rifles Battalion launched a counter attack in the western parts of Makurdi bridgehead, moving towards Okuma, Chongke, Udei, Yogbo, Nyitar and Atakwa. RANF forces in the area were not prepared and Indian airstrikes forced them to quickly abandon the settlements and instead use the forests to take cover and defend from there. Indian commanders did not press foward to due to poor road infrastructure which has been making logistics a issue.

RANF didn't took any major action today instead of capturing Abaji. It is likely that they didn't expect the attack to work out as successfully as it did. RANF high command also now has to redirect fighters to Makurdi direction after Indian counter attacks, fearing that the loss of Makurdi could open a wide gap in their held territory. Overall good progress made by RANF.

Indian losses today were 12 Soldiers Killed in Action, 24 Wounded in Action and 4 OBF Aditya MRAPs requiring field armour replacements.

THE PATHWAY TO RESTORE DEMOCRACY, A MORE PROPORTIONAL ONE

ATT'N: Bro Kinaba

A lot of people did not believe Admiral Everton when he said the Revolution of 29 April was necessary, and that he would restore democracy once the Radical African National Front (RANF) was gone from Khoikhoia. Well, it's easy to understand why they might have thought that. In the early stages, while he focused fully on ending the RANF's presence in Khoikhoia, perhaps Everton was a little authoritarian. But not any more.

After the elimination of the RANF, it is time for Khoikhoia to go back to what it once was, a peaceful nation favouring strategic neutrality, albeit with some changes. This is why elections have been set for Friday, 14 June. Free and fair elections, with all of Khoikhoia's eight parties allowed to participate. To especially display this fact, a team from Bro Kinaba has been invited to review voting transparency during the election.

However, a few changes will be made, to prevent a RANF-like situation from ever erupting in Khoikhoia again. Firstly, the currently being recruited prospective 13,000 member Domestic Guard. The new national gendarmerie will be a priority, especially in deployment in the north and border regions - actively preventing the spread of terrorism. It will be amended into the Constitution to require every government to increase its size by a minimum of 1,000 personnel every year upon the return of usual National Assembly functions.

Secondly, Khoikhoia will reform into a presidential system. The country's founding fathers could not have predicted the delays of parliamentary democracy, at the time the ideal governing method for the country. However, today, it is necessary to follow the lead of many stable countries and entrust a central leader with the most power, for the sake of maintaining the country running well.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. This is why the country will increase the size of the legislative check on executive power. The unicameral legislature shall be reformed to add the Khoikhois Senate to Parliament, a 60-member upper house of members elected from at-large national voting, with seats allocated per party vote, and distributed to those in the order of the party's list.

The National Assembly will also be increased to 300 seats and made more proportional by election at the Administrative Unit (AU) level, using ranked choice voting for parties, and the subsequent distribution of seats to parties based on the vote, with parties under the threshold for one seat having their votes transferred to their voters' next preferred candidate still in the race, and then given to the party list members based on their priority.

Admiral Everton has expressed gratitude to Khoikhoia for his time as President but clarified he will not run, and that his presidency was only borne out of necessity, and that he will not run in the July 2024 general election. With these reforms, Khoikhoia will be able to return to being a prosperous democracy. Starting tomorrow, local organs will begin work of the 25-working-day period of beginning preparations for Khoikhoia's next elections. Liberty, Equality, Union!

Bro’Kinaban Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Mr. President Cristoph Martins and his cabinet will be permitted to return to Khoikhoia by Bro’Kinaba airlines. If he wishes as he has stated his intention to go on a 2 week tour before coming back. Diplomatic relations will be restored with Khoikhoia after the free and fair elections in the country are completed.

COMMENCE THE CAMPAIGN, KHOIKHOIA!

Each of Khoikhoia's eight political parties has roared their electoral campaigns into gear, with prospective candidates out on the campaign trail, whether talking to their party machine bosses in their offices or drawing up grassroots support. This election will, by far, be Khoikhoia's largest and most monumental election. Khoikhoia may now be freed from the RANF, but other challenges of who to support internationally now pop up.

Khoikhois polling giant Datas names the following as the five major political issues in the country:

  • Protectionism versus free trade. Trade policy, specifically concerning protectionism and promotion of domestic industry, historically the defining Khoikhois policy, against liberalising trade.

  • Conservatism versus liberalism. Historical social conservatism against social liberalism and progressivism, increasing in popularity in recent years.

  • UAA versus CEDO. Foreign policy, specifically greater support of the UAA group against calls for greater integration and cooperation with CEDO primarily.

  • Spend versus save. Greater public spending against principles of small government, especially in dealing with crime.

  • Militarism versus pacifism. Supporting a larger army against peaceful diplomacy.

Some of these you would expect in any growing country: there will inevitably be a clash of social conservatism and liberalism. Currently, conservatism seems to take the cake. However, most are more unique to Khoikhoia. With the RANF now gone, many turn back to the epidemic haunting them before: crime. Crime, crime, crime. Crime seems to be going up to be the major issue of this campaign.

Crime haunts Khoikhoia everywhere, the average Khoikhois cannot escape it. Daily robberies, murders, and arsons. The country is plagued and wants action done. They want the taps to start flowing, to start coming in and funding the police, preventing crime. Parties campaign with this key backdrop, and risk elimination in the ballot box if they do not offer concrete solutions. Khoikhoia wants an end to this epidemic, as would anyone.

Other issues affecting the campaign are trade and foreign policy. Khoikhoia is growing a gendarmerie, a national guard, to prevent a RANF-like situation from breaking out again. The political establishment and people agree on this. But should the military, the Khoikhois Armed Forces, who showed an extreme veracity to tear down democratic regimes (even though only as an emergency measure) receive greater funding to prevent future threats? The population is divided.

Likewise, an issue affecting the whole of Africa, that of the Co-Economic Defense Organisation (CEDO) against the Union of Afro-Eurasian Alliances (UAA). For a very long time, Khoikhoia has pursued strategic neutrality, scared after it got too involved. But is it time to stop now? Has neutrality reached its due date? The Federation of Arabia has already given Khoikhoia military equipment and is on the path to diplomatic achievements, with others offering to do the same. Surely it is only right for Khoikhoia to work with them?

Across the nation, all of Khoikhoia's eight political parties are hard at work. But this surprise election will be a little different, with the role of the presidency, historically a ceremonial one, will, for the first time in Khoikhois history, be the main event, with the powers of the president expanded to prevent a RANF-like situation form breaking out again - the quick executive decisions preventing national crises and the Armed Forces having to step in again.

Under these circumstances, one man jumps out for the job. It is needed of the country a strong, popular leader, and Cristoph Martins, political veteran yet always a fresh face, and with an approval rating of 59% in April, only expected to have increased, is clearly being considered the only man up for the role. He has returned from Bro Kinaba, where he was briefly held for his safety after the Revolution, but is back, holding no grudge.

Martins hopes to lead a broad, democratic coalition into this election. He is a moderate and pragmatist, meaning he will have to branch out to the ideologues he wants on board. Under these circumstances, it becomes apparent that the true spot in competition from the political mainstream is the vice presidency, a new role. Martins will hope to find someone who will keep his whole coalition on board.

Fearful of a more ideological figure taking the cake, moderates on both sides of the political spectrum have mobilised behind the popular Yousaf Reed for vice president. The 33-year-old moderate is a military veteran and second-generation immigrant, the son of an Arab-Khoikhois immigrant doctor. A moderate on most issues, he gained his popularity from his hard line on crime, advocating for greater police funding and spending on the causes of crime while the Western Province's Minister of Police. He now serves as Minister of Infrastructure in the interim Everton cabinet.

But despite Martins's popularity, it seems unlikely he will go through unopposed. Specifically, the right ideological front is being considered the main potential threat to his campaign. The Khoikhois political consensus dictates a policy of spending, despite many right-wing moderates like Martins getting elected on a promise of steadying national finances. In a situation like now, spending is needed, but it is not sustainable, and alienates a good part of voters.

One name being thrown around is Sid Bhadjul. Bhadjul was one of the populist Darío Molina's chief spin doctors, and a fervent national-populist - educated by the former prime minister, and was expected to lead his Janaury 2024 campaign. However, after an aide leaked the fabrication of a corruption scandal attempting to draw potential Liberal voters to the Republican party, his reputation was tarnished and Bhadjul was fired in Novemeber. His ardent supporters don't seem to care though.

This little protest could see a challenge to Martins. However, Bhadjul faces a steep uphill, certainly impossible, battle. A recent poll commissioned by Datas after Admiral Everton announced the election sees Bhadjul with 7% support, compared to 73% for others, and 20% undecided. His reputation is also by no means his strength, with Martins being much more solid as a person, and credible as a figure, yet still not tainted with the "establishment" brush.

The political parties of Khoikhoia are at work, yes, but let us not forget the hard work of the countless volunteers organising this election. Their hard work allows Khoikhoia to go ahead with an event like this, preparing all the ballots. They will see a list of candidates submitted on 31 May, Friday, and then, two weeks later, on Friday 14 May, receive millions of voters nationwide in a major, new Khoikhois election. Unlike politicians, they do some good.

But the question now remains: what will be the outcome of this surprise election?

REPEAL OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 364

ATT'N: Bro Kinaba

Executive Order No. 364, also known previously as "Ban Bro'Kinabans", was introduced at a time when the nation faced fundamental differences with the country. However, this is no longer the case, and, as such, the order will be swiftly repealed. Minister of National Security Carlos Abugjiwe stated that the order would no longer be in effect from tomorrow, with flights from Bro Kinaba and including Bro Kinaban nationals allowed to continue. He also stated that the threatened deportations were not carried out and instead scrapped on Sunday, meaning no Bro Kinabans remaining in Khoikhoia were arrested. Minister Abugjiwe also apologises to the ones who left, feeling they needed to leave Khoikhoia, for the government's "shortsightedness and lack of compassion".

Be it known that Wuzurgmihr Hamoudeh Sabagh has received the proposition for a strategic partnership between Persia and Lower Nubia, greatest in Asia and greatest in Africa. He has presented it to Kûruš Shah who has found it to be good, he has marked it with his seal, and he has invited President Bisharin of Lower Nubia, the most worthy and excellent, strong of arm, desert-walker, master of the 3,000 bowmen of Nubia, to Nisa, City of Kings, to further discuss these matters with Kûruš, King of Kings, King of Persia, Lord of the Earth, King of Many Countries, the All-Conquering, the Hassan Jalalian.

Statement by the President’s Office

“President Basil Bisharin has accepted the invitation put forward by most esteemed Kûruš Shah, the King of Persia and of many peoples and nations, and as such has arrived in Nisa, the current capital of Indopersia, to sign and ratify as the Nubian representative the Nubian-Iranian Strategic Agreement (NISA). The agreement, made public on the 13th May, covers several areas of future collaboration between the Republic of Lower Nubia and the Kingdom of Indopersia independent of other treaties and represents one of the most significant bi-lateral by our Republic in 2024. The Kingdom has been working closely with us across many areas, from the Radical African National Front to the Co-Economic Defense Organization, in the hopes of deepening efforts of peace, commerce, and influence, and likewise the Republic has reciprocated in this effort. The President stated:

'The Nubian-Iranian Strategic Agreement represents an important step in bi-lateral relations between our two countries. Given the current issues facing the middle east and across Africa the cooperation between states is crucial for peace and individual prosperity, with the agreements 6 points meaning our two peoples and states coming closer together in an increasingly violent world. Of the 6 points, B represents a uniquely crucial part of solely Nubian-Iranian relations, and will be important for our Republic's defensive position. We believe this deal will grow the prosperity of our two ancient peoples, and I am thankful and honoured for the hospitality of his majesty, Kûruš Shah, King of Persia and many peoples, Hassan Jalalian in his invitation and swiftness in negotiations.'

President Bisharin has confirmed he will remain in Nisa after the signing to discuss and further support Nubian-Iranian relations in the wake of other pressing global issues between the two countries."
