Foreign Minister Dagher to receive Lourenne delegation
February, 4525

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - The delegation from Lourenne, lead by Foreign Affairs Minister Louis Fernand was met by Foreign Minister Kaphiri Dagher and other high-ranking Kafuri delegates to meet. The procession and welcoming ceremony at al-Kasraj International Airport was joined by the Republican Guard, the Kafuri Marines and the Kafuri Strategic Forces; both a show of the protective power of the Kafuri military and a show of force to remind enemies and allies that this was a new Kafuristan. The delegation arrived at the Presidential Palace in al-Kasraj and met with President Sahl bin Qadir al-Sadhi, members of the al-Sadhi family and Prime Minister Haazim Nassif. The first high-level meetings between Lourenne and Kafuristan was eagerly awaited as Kafuristan looks to attract foreign investment back in Kafuristan after centuries of chasing it away.

The Kafuri and Lourenne delegation will likely discuss a wide variety of topics, mostly focused around renewable energy that will not interfere with the Kafuri's dominance in the oil, gas and petroleum sector, shipbuilding industries in O'mer, Nekkah and Jerze'har and more importantly military and defense cooperation through the Majatran Organization for Industrialization. Kafuristan is likely to look to equip its air force with foreign aircraft outside of Dorvish and Trigunian designs that are produced locally through the MOI or purchased from the Artanian Defense Group.

One notable topic on the table is the creation of a large-scale solar farm in the Salimr Desert, one of the largest deserts in the world and located in central Pabeus. The project, which has been touted by President al-Sadhi, is looking for foreign companies to invest money into the solar farm as a means to create investment in the area and build Kafuri jobs. While the solar farm would be a massive boost the region, it would also allow Kafuristan to shift its own dependence on oil and further expand its sales and marketing outward, something it looks to do.

al-Khalid MBT to enter full production
March, 4525

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - The State Armaments and Production Committee agreed to order 450 al-Khalid ("Eternal") Main Battle Tanks, known as the al-Khalid II variant, into full production. The design, locally produced and sourced with outside nations help, has been developed over the course of the past 10 years and is looking to compliment the large fleet of Lion of the Heart T-72 tanks and the T-72B3M tanks. The al-Khalid will be the first locally sourced and produced main battle tank in Kafuri history and will serve as the centerpiece to the Kafuri armored and mechanized brigades. President al-Sadhi has called the tank "...a masterpiece of Kafuri engineering and a reminder that despite years of instability and financial decline, Kafuristan is now getting back on his feet. We thank Akim for his blessings and we ask that he continue to guide us in our holy quest."

The tanks are expected to be delivered into batches of 50 over the next 5 years and will be sent to the Republican Guard, the Kafuri Strategic Forces and finally the Kafuri Majatran Army last. It is likely that more orders will be placed, the State Armaments and Production Committee has also procured a new MLRS known as the "Jobaria" or monster in Luthorian, one of the largest multiple launch rocket systems in the world. These new armaments will be sent to the Republican Guard first and will serve as the test-bed for the platforms. While land systems are a strong component for the MOI, the development of the Joint Fighter-17 program which was developed in conjunction with several countries, including Vanuku, the fighter will enter production after numerous prototype variants were designed.

The JF-17 is expected to enter service by 4530 with an initial order of 200 fighters. The MOI subsidiary known as "Majatran Organization for Industrialization Munitions" which produces all sorts of small arms, ammunition and other rockets, missiles, has announced the development of a new locally produced short-range ballistic missile originally designed by the al-Sadhi Design and Development Bureau (SDDB), which was originally founded by Baqir al-Sadhi in the 39th century. The SDDB has also put into production a wide variety of small arms, such as the MOIM 814, 816 and 817 to replace the aging Trigunian-based fire arms; also the Standard Majatran Battle Pistol developed by MOIM. The State Armaments and Production Committee, which oversees all production, research and development is directly underneath the President but has ties to the Ministry of Defense, Armed Forces, Republican Guard and the Ministry of the Interior.

Welcome to the Big Show Kafuristan!
October, 4526

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - President al-Sadhi and other notables from the Majatran Socialist Ba'ath Party celebrated at the Presidential Palace in al-Kasraj as it was announced that Kafuristan had taken Seat B in the World Congress Security Council. President al-Sadhi gave an address to the nation alongside Foreign Minister Kaphiri Dagher regarding the rise to power of the Majatran majority nation. "We have shown the world that we are a force to be reckoned with, we are a force for people to understand. Majatrans will finally have a TRUE voice in the World Congress and we will act for the better of ethnic Majatrans, work for the betterment of all members of the Majatran community and more importantly be pragmatic about our approach to international affairs." President al-Sadhi had named long time Ba'athist National Consultative Council member Jaarallah al-Tahir as the Permanent Representative to the World Congress and the Security Council, while some foreign experts see the pick as odd, al-Tahir is a noted foreign policy expert within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has served in a number of diplomatic posts, he is also considered to be the mastermind behind the framework for the Majatran League, a proposed idea of President al-Sadhi.

The election of Kafuristan comes at a time when Kafuristan has returned to production values of 90% of their capacity of oil, gas and petroleum production, sending them to the top of the charts in oil, gas and petroleum production. The top five reserves of oil, gas and petroleum, according to the International Development and Stability Bank, sometimes known as the "Terran Bank", are Kafuristan, Badara, Aldegar, Jakania and the Vascanian Empire ranking, respectively, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. While Kafuristan possess the largest reserve of oil and the other countries named, they are by far not the top producers. Kafuristan has chiefly returned to number 1 on the production lists while Kazulia, Valruzia and several others compete for the top spots alongside countries such as Trigunia, Statrica, Talmoria, Lodamun, Baltusia, Ostland, New Alduria, Dorvik and others. The IDSB is expected to release the first ever "Oil, Gas and Petroleum Economic Report" within the coming weeks which will provide the first comprehensive report on reserve and productions ranks, it is expected that the specific numbers are unlikely to be presented due to the seemingly, almost fictional game-like resources on Terra.

Kafuristan has also begun to receive shipments of weapons, arms and armor from the Majatran Organization for Industrialization as the factories around Kafuristan are finally returning to full operational order. While military equipment has been top priority to the Kafuri economic planners, the government has also invested into several other sectors such as automobile manufacturing, increased agricultural subsidies to increase farming output for the ever growing population of Kafuristan and industrial subsidies and the formation of Governorate Reconstruction Teams which are made up of various Ba'athist, government and business officials to tackle macroeconomic policies within each Governorate. The first major infrastructure project of President al-Sadhi's "Project for a New Kafuri Century" has been completed with the completion of "Highway 1" which connects al-Kasraj to a number of other important cities on the west coast of Abi'nadi and Nekkah. The project was started under previous Ba'athist governments but neglected by successor governments due to its comprehensive and costly numbers.

Kafuri Armed Forces takes delivery of a bevy of new equipment
October, 4527

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - A military parade in al-Kasraj, presided over by President al-Sadhi and other high ranking government and military officials displayed a wide array of new equipment that has been delivered to the Armed Forces of Kafuristan. The Republican Guard rode forward in their brand new al-Khalid Main Battle Tanks, painted in a desert tan, the al-Khalid is one of the newest main battle tanks to be produced and serves as a testament to the might and industrial prowess of the Majatran people, especially since it was designed and developed by the Majatran Organization for Industrialization. The MOI's primary design bureau was responsible with input from numerous foreign advisors that had been hired over the course of a decade to advise on the tank. The al-Khalid promises to be one of the most premier main battle tanks to date, despite its non-existent combat experience. Another notable presence was the "Jobaria" MLRS which is, according to Gath Defense Collective, the largest MLRS system to date. The Jobaria is reported to have been used earlier in the month by the Republican Guard against Ahmadi State in Kafuristan locations in central Pabeus, but limited information has been reported on the conflict with ASIK in the previous few months.

The Kafuri Majatran Air Force and the Kafuri Majatran Air Defense Forces provided flyovers, notably by the new JF-17 fighter jet which was likewise developed by the MOI's aerial design bureau. While the full delivery of JF-17 fighters will not start until 2530, a squadron has been equipped out of al-Kasraj and will serve as an additional offensive layer against ASIK and the MMIK. They have scored several air-to-ground victories on ASIK and MMIK targets, concluding that they are indeed a solid fighter. The Kafuri Armed Forces as a whole have been delivered with new small arms, almost all soldiers are equipped with personal protective equipment such as a ballistics vest (including an external carrier), ballistics helmet, ballistics glasses, gas masks, basic first aid supplies and some units have been outfitted with night vision and radios. One crowning achievement of the KAF is the equipping of all units with radios, at a squad leader level and above, this will enable higher levels of communication with platoon, company, brigade and above leadership.

The Kafuri Armed Forces, alongside increased leadership communication, is developing a unified command and control center in al-Kasraj, which is a major goal of the Ministry of Defense and notably Chief of Staff General (Army) Haafil el-Obei and shared with President al-Sadhi.

KAF continue hammering ASIK and MMIK in Pabeus

Kafuri Strategic Forces missile brigades launch salvos of Scud tactical ballistic missiles

Pabeus Governorate - The Ahmadi State in Kafuristan and Majatran Muhajadeen in Kafuristan have lost all their holdings throughout Kafuristan over the past several years. The Ba'athist underneath President and National Secretary-General Sahl bin Qadir al-Sadhi have continued their domestic crackdown on illegal political parties, having crushed a majority of the former Kafuri political parties that had operated prior to the reformation of the Majatran Republic of Kafuristan. Between the forces of the Interior Ministry, the General Intelligence Directorate, the Republican Guard and notably the Republican Guard Security Directorate, the opposition parties in Kafuristan have been destroyed and with consent of the People's Council, officially outlawed outside of a handful of political parties that are sponsored directly by the Majatran Socialist Ba'ath Party.

While domestically Kafuristan has never been more stable, a thorn remains promptly in the side of Kafuristan. That thorn is the Ahmadi State in Kafuristan and the Majatran Muhajadeen in Kafuristan, both of which have lost nearly all of their once former vast holdings in Kafuristan. While they have lost a majority of their holdings, they have not entirely been defeated and are largely centered in Pabeus within the few scattered cities deep within the Salimr desert. The Kafuri Strategic Forces and the Republican Guard have waged a several month campaign against the two, new found allies and their stronghold in Pabeus is expected to fall. The KSF and the RG are boosted by the Kafuri Border Force, a mixture of tribal allies in irregular formations that work mostly under local Sheikhs that are loyal to the Ba'athist and are used as both a reliable regime security force and an ideological militia to boost protections at the border.

KSF missile units have launched large salvos of Scud missiles at positions, devastating large swathes of ASIK and MMIK fighters and positions. In central Pabeus the chance of civilian casualties is limited due to the lack of civilians traditionally living in cities, a vast majority of civilians in Pabeus are located on the outer region of Pabeus or are located close to the Abqahat River.

Ba'athist ramp up election campaigns
August 4529

Kafuristan - Majatran Socialist Ba'ath Party officials were out in full force, campaigning around Kafuristan for the coming elections. While the Ba'athist are the only legally permitted political party, they have the "National Liberation Front" with the Kafuri Communist Party, the Majatran Socialist Movement and the Kafuri Social Nationalist Party as other "official" political parties. Foreign political experts believe that the National Liberation Front is an organized loyalist political front to shore up support for the Ba'athist party. The Government of Kafuristan and the Ba'athist party have denied this, there are reports of coordinated campaigning. General-Secretary of the Kafuri Social Nationalist Party Ihaab el-Nasir has appeared at several campaign events with President al-Sadhi and widely considered to be a favorite for a post within the government following the elections; similar to General-Secretary el-Nasir, the Secretary of the Kafuri Communist Party Mundhir el-Yousef has also been seen cozying up President al-Sadhi.

Domestic media reports cite that the KSNP will capture 15 seats in the People's Council, the KCP will capture 10 and the Majatran Socialist Movement will capture 5, bringing the National Liberation Front up from currently 0 seats to 30 seats or 12% of the People's Council. While the 12% is in theory meaningless, it is widely seen as a sort of functioning democracy within Kafuristan. Of all the movements, the Kafuri Social Nationalist Party is the most organized and has the most support out of all the minor political parties. The KSNP has many allies within the Ba'athist who believe the KSNP is a favored ally. The campaigning has been done through many major cities and the campaign imagery of battles against ASIK and MMIK, imagery capturing Kafuri workers at the oil fields and being hired for jobs. While some of the image is considered propaganda most of it is factual. Kafuristan, underneath the Ba'athist has been relatively prosperous and has risen to the global stage. The images of Kafuri representatives at the Security Council and the World Congress have provoked nationalist to come out in droves, mostly regarding the ethnic nationalism that most Majatrans have no felt in decades.

New Socialist Party Founded in Kafuristan
August 4538

A new political faction has been founded in Kafuristan that promises to raise the nation to glory. The party's platform is based on practical applied socialism seeking to involve the common people in a massive move of national revitalisation rather than a standard centralised socialist command system. It involves targeting those with the most wealth and value in society and having them assist in the provision of those who are less fortunate. The plan is not to forefully reposess the assets of the very wealthy but to actively involve them in the advancement of society and in state projects. The platform does not emphasise a popular rising by the working class but collaboration by people from all walks of life to make Kafuristran a greater society. The party will of course have to bring its policy platform to an election and be judged by the voting populace. Time will tell whether these ideas revitalise Kafuristan as a prosperous nation and player on the world stage or if it is seen as another dishonest gimmick designed to buy power.

Ba'athist return to power after national hiatus
March 4548

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - The Majatran Socialist Ba'athist Party - Kafuristan Region notified the Government of Kafuristan and the Ministry of the Interior of their intention to compete in the coming March, 4548 elections in October, 4547 and in a few short months the election campaigning was in full swing. Lead by brother of the former National Secretary-General and a reserve General of the Republican Guard, Abdur Rahmaan al-Sadhi announced his intention to run for President. He was joined by close Ba'athist ally and former Kafuri Army Colonel Shaheed al-Edris in the campaign. When election results came in, the Ba'athist captured the largest share in the People's Council over their close political ally the Socialist Ahmadi Alliance. Capturing 147 seats and immediately proposing a Council of Ministers comprised of the Ba'athist and the Socialist Ahmadi Alliance, the Prime Minister position was awarded to Awf al-Hamady of the SAA while other important positions went to them as well. The Ba'athist were able to regain their leadership over the Foreign Affairs, Interior, Defense, Infrastructure and Transport, Food and Agriculture and the Trade and Industry ministries, many former staffers of the old Ba'athist regime remained and welcomed back their old allies. While none of the Ba'athist which previously held positions in the current government, several of them were appointed in consultative positions or had moved on to more senior posts within the Regional Command or the National Command of the Ba'athist apparatus.

President al-Sadhi announced that he would seek to deepen ties with a finally stable, Badaran state. Foreign Minister Jaabir al-Majeed echoed the President's desire and pushed for deeper cooperation and development of the Kafuri oil industry which is being lead by now former Chief Oil Officer Kaamil el-Basher as the Minister of Trade, Industry and Oil. Minister al-Majeed stated that he welcomed the creation of a nationalized Badaran oil industry and stated that the Kafuri National Oil Company would be seeking to build closer ties to the Badaran oil industry which ranks second behind Kafuri's own oil industry. Economic experts believe that any formation of a "cartel" between the worlds two largest oil producers and exporters could spell either disaster or benefit the global economy. Little information is known how Badara will structure its national oil company but if it is similar to Sharnaft, they will completely (or near completely) control of all upstream and downstream activities of the oil industry.

More is certainly to come out of Kafuristan.
