March 11, 4250
Alemayehu Abraha a member of the Abraha mining dynasty which owns Kobra Corp, has founded a new political party "United Cobura". Abraha said that he had become motivated to enter politics following the urging of several notables opposed to the communist government. He said United Cobura was to be a centrist party chiefly concerned with the continuity and safety of Cobura as a nation state rather than alien ideologies. The party's set to contest next year's elections and Abraha said he was feeling very confident about the results.
Alemayehu Abraha
Unlike his family's previous party Semayawi, the new one is decidedly less ideological and confrontational. Abraha has delivered his attacks on the Government in a very general manner, simply decrying corruption, inefficiency and the hopelessness of communism. Interestingly he has refused to comment on the Majatran Revolutionary Socialist Federation which Cobura joined a decade ago, pledging only to review the Treaty before making any final decisions if he gets in power.
