GOVT LAUGHS AT IBUTHO

Ruined old house to be new Shah Palace
March 2nd, 3605

In response to the ridiculous claim to the Aldegarian Throne has belittled the King ruled by his Mother. Aldegarian leaders heckled the claims and bought, for 5 LOD a run down old hut on the outskirts of Karvan to be the new Palace of the Shah. President Amnam repeatedly bashed the "crazy niggers in Ibutho" who think they have a Chief that can run a nation when he cant even control his mother! In the streets of Karvan in front of the old vacated Ibutho Chancery (abandoned after the failed Naval Expedition) flags were burned and beads where tossed into the flames in a sign of disrespect of the culture. Towards the end of the rally several effigies of the mother of the Chief were burned as she is the real power in the country.
However in the evening time all television channels switched to an "Emergency State Broadcast" which showed 20 men tied up to polls with blindfolds over their eyes. President Amnam strode forward and began speaking, saying that "This black filth will no longer pollute the shores and land of Aldegar. Tonight i have ordered the public execution of these foreign savages to teach their supposed Chief and black magic conjuring mother of his who the real masters of Aldegar are. The people of Ibutho should realize that it is black magic, oozing from that horror of a mother that is leading the nation to destruction! I would be no less shocked if these subversive forces were in league with the Terra wide Cranillaise Conspiracy!"
And with that he departed and the rifles fired and shot the 20 men down.

UAP RIOTERS BURN OLD SHAH PALACE

In the nationalist republican fervor whipped in the past few days by government propaganda, in the old capital city pro-UAP rioters who were attacking Cranillaise property turned their attention to the old Palace and looted and burned it to the ground given a slow police response. Several populist speakers called the burning of the palace a symbol of "domestic repression and foreign occupation" and said its continued existence only served to remind the former backwardness of the country.

Controversial Govt Contracts Given
March 5, 3605
With the increased dependence of foreign assistance from Saridan and Dundorf, a swath of new government contracts have been issued to Saridan and Dundorf companies. New government contracts award greater arms assistance with Dundorf combined increased technical and research assistance. Meanwhile Saridan was given increased funds to repair the Aldegar National Canal and several security contracts were renewed.

AMNAM CONDEMNS RIOTS AGAINST PALACE

Security forces regaining control of Pāytakht-e Aldegār
July 10th, 3605

Months after the riots in Pāytakht-e Aldegār brought down the old Royal Palace and sent the city in chaos for weeks, President Amnam has pledged to restored order. While he commended the republican spirit of the protests he had sharp criticism for the rioters and those who led the crowds to the old Palace. He said such behavior would not be tolerated in the future and that it was the goal of the Cranillaise Conspiracy to turn us into a nation which cannibalizes its history. He pledged more security forces to the Old Capital as it is now called and declared the government was now commencing a search for stolen and missing artifacts. Remorseful citizens have already turned in hundreds of stolen artifacts from the Palace while government teams search for more. However action is limited with funds constantly short given the huge repairs being tended to by the national authorities.
President Amnam finished his address by saying the artifacts would go into a secure storage facility in Somasi and that when funds could be raised, a new Aldegar National History Museum would be planned and built. Already the President has sent out word asking for international donors to help protect the nations cultural heritage by contributing funds to the Museum.

FRESH ROUND OF CRACKDOWNS

Police storming a meeting of political Yazdean groups
July 14th, 3605

In an effort to shore up internal political stability in the nation thousands of police and assorted security forces have embarked on a multi-day crack down of "subversive opposition groups likely connected to the Cranillaise Conspiracy." Police stormed the meetings of "radical" Yazdean political groups, so called international watch dog groups and other assorted groups. So far the Interior Ministry has announced that some 1400 persons are now in police custody on charges of subverting the state, treason, terrorism, espionage and a litany of other crimes.
However in a shocking move several hundred international citizens were detained in the crackdowns. Most of whom were at the meeting places when the raids took place but a few even were arrested. In all some 230 international citizens were arrested mainly from the nations of Dorvik (60), Luthori (40), Tukarali (50) and foreign Cranillaise persons numbering 50, while the remaining have yet to have their citizenship confirmed. All embassies have been notified of their arrest and a special legal team run jointly by the Foreign and Justice ministries is taking care of their needs. A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry stated that visits by proper diplomatic personal would be arranged shortly.
Despite the high number of foreign citizen arrests, domestic targets were far bigger in scope. Some 400 various Yazdean religious leaders were arrested and charged with a host of crimes while various opposition group leaders and members were also arrested and charged with treason.The Justice Ministry said it was thoroughly reviewing the cases pending and that "no criminal, whether foreign or domestic can escape the full might of the law."

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ALDEGARIAN CRANILLAISE AND TUKARESE GROWS WORSE
July 17th, 3605

In the wake of large scale security clampdown for public security reasons, reports from groups in Aldegar show that more than Yazdean religious are being targeted. The small Cranillaise minority in the nation has been ruthlessly vilified and despite an official policy of one Aldegar, no discrimination, representatives of the group say they are subject to daily persecution in schools, the work place, and especially from the government and security force. Many are trying to leave the country for Rildanor and Kanjor but with tight border controls and an even more Cranillaise hostile Saridan to the south it seems the plight of these people will not end.
The Tukarese have always been viewed with suspicion despite their small numbers (around only 15,000) but recent internal meddling by the Tukarese government has brought the ire of the Aldegarian government on this small border group. Most Tukarese are now homeless and facing increasing poverty and destitution in Aldegar as the government takes their property and declares them everything but official state enemies. Worse yet these people cannot flee to their homeland because of the border closing and with no flights scheduled to Tukarali. And international flights cost too much for the remaining Tukraese ethnics as the already prosperous Tukarese have already fled the country.

GENERAL MOBILIZATION ORDERED
Image
Troops marching in Karvan
Jan 18th, 3606

With growing threats from Dorvik and Tukarali the Government of Aldegar has moved to declare emergency powers and has taken control of the national security scene. Around major cities air defense units are being set up to secure against airborne incursions while the ANDF and ANA move to begin sweeping patrols of the nation. The canal is of extreme importance and extra security is being placed there with formal Saridani forces drawing back into Saridan to prepare for a campaign against Mordusia.
Diplomatically the Aldegarian Government is taking a firestorm of criticism from Dorvik over the detention of Dorvish nationals in Aldegar though the government retorts that such measures are needed and not unusual for Dorvik to take.
To the south, the Army has been given the go ahead to annex all of Sayoon Province from Mordusia and prepare for a more general campaign against the Mordusians. Many analysts now predict a general South Seleyan war is inevitable.

OOC: I'm sorry...but I don't see how you can say you're annexing a province of Mordusia. Its been quite clear the Mordusians do not consent to this international RP with Aldegar, something strictly required by the game rules (viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5519). You cannot just unilaterally RP an international war.

WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SAFETY
Image
Foreign Minister Ali Mohammed speaking before the member of the FFRC.
August 3rd ,3606.

The Aldegarian Foreign Ministry warned all Foreign embassies in Aldegaria that it cannot guarantee their safety from the threat of conflict after 4th April., and has advised them to consider pulling their staff out of the country temporarily. The message to diplomats came as tensions in the region continued to escalate despite international efforts to defuse the situation. The Foreign Minister is demanding an explanation to the matter.

Zardugal's Foreign Office confirmed that it had received the warning, which it called part of ongoing rhetoric in the nation. The Foreign Minister has advised all Foreign Ambassadors that when the conflict has been resolved to resume all work and production. The Foreign Minister, in his own word, not the words of his advisers has put two (3) Options on the Diplomatic Table when it comes to this conflict.

1. Evacuate all embassy staff from the Nation or the General Area.
OR
2. Stop all operation in the embassies and remain in the Nation.
OR
3. Continue All Operations is usual.


Mr Mohammed is waiting on the Prime Minister's Consent Of the Evacuation of Foreign Embassy staff. The Foreign Minister is still seeking into matter if it will be possible for the Foreign Embassies to be heavily guarded by the Armed Forces. Already the Zardugal Embassy in Aldegar has decided to Evacuate all embassy staff from the Nation and the general area.

BRING IT ON DORVIK

Special Forces protection the Ministry of Justice, where the last Dorvish citizens are being held
August 15th, 3606

After months of legal and diplomatic wrangling the foreign citizens were cleared of charged by the Special Court of Foreign Interests in Karvan and are currently being dispatched back to their home nations. However 10 Dorvish citizens remain locked up in the detention centres of the Ministry of Justice where they are being held on charges of money laundering, sponsoring terrorism, espionage, undermining the state and colluding with radical elements in society. All 10 have been hit with the same charges and are expected to be tried at the same time as there are links that link their activities together.
Prosecutors from the Justice Ministry allege these individuals were running guns and money to the Yazdean Liberation Front during the rebellion and working to secure an underground network of informants to further undermine the state. In a ruling earlier this week a judge denied them bail citing the heightened risk of flight for the 10 citizens and the low chances of extradition. Needless to say, Justice officials have been adamant that the detainees are being well treated and from photos taken at the court hearing that could be holding up but that hasnt constrained the anger of Dorvish officials. Indeed such is the tenacity of their threats that the police have transported the prisoners in heavy convoys and extra security in the already heavily fortified and monitored government district.

LEADRSHIP STRUGGLES IN THE UAP

Rebels fighting the government in Karvan
Jan 3rd, 3607

Given the current international situation the leadership of the Untied Aldegarian Party has become so divided that rival factions have taken to the streets to fight it out. The Nationalist faction, led by General Amnam continues to advocate the continuing of the independent and aggressive foreign policy and strict state secularist policies while the rival Liberal Nationalist faction advocates a reducing of tensions and is led by former Foreign Minister Ali Mobarat. Fighting with small arms has erupted over the past few days and the split is widening among members of the party and the state bureaucracy. As the situation continues to destabilize many worry about the future of the Aldegarian Republic.
