Sultan Confirms 'There Is No More Homosexuality' In Kafuristan

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - Our most enlightened Sultan (salaa allah ealayh wasalam) has today announced that the government has successfully eradicated the plague of homosexuality from Kafurstian. After an in-depth research team investigated the matter, it seems that the polices of the royal government have made men in Kafuristan up to 73% more masculine, with testosterone being emitted at nearly 1.5 times the normal rate in most of the test subjects. This means it is impossible for homosexuality to occur, as such an affliction requires a low testosterone level and a tendency to pray to evil spirits - a practice that is also down in Kafuristan to a record 0%.

Though there is still debate in the scientific community as to how this was achieved, it is the view of the government that the Sultan (salaa allah ealayh wasalam) being a completely masculine role model has helped many of the otherwise potentially homosexual men of the nation to start working out obsessively, dressing themselves in a less fashionable manner and enjoying loud, obnoxious, bass-heavy music.

BREAKING NEWS: Reports of coup at Sultan's Palace
January 4773

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - What was believed to be fireworks in celebration of the New Year turned out to be the sound of small arms and armored vehicle fire. According to reports around the Sultan's Palace, the Ba'athist Republican Guard have launched a coup de'tat against the government. The revolt is being lead by recently elected National Secretary-General of the Majatran Socialist Ba'ath Party Abyad bin Qadir al-Sadhi, a member of the prestigious and powerful al-Sadhi clan that has held political and economic influence in Kafuristan for several decades, most notably at the helm of the Ba'athist. While the Ba'athist have not been in power for several years the powerful Republican Guard has done its best to maintain a hold on power within the southern mountain border regions with al-Sahil (Solentia); something that has been the bane of the government's existence since the collapse of the Ba'athist several decades ago. While reports are scarce that the militia's loyal to the Ba'athist have risen up across the country, it cannot be denied that the Republican Guard have at least seized parts of the capital and are now targeting the Sultan's Palace.

In his election speech at the National Command, the new Secretary-General noted that the overthrow of the Sultan was instrumental for the future success of the Kafuri regime. He blamed the monarchist and loyalist of the Sultan's of stealing Kafuristans oil wealth and allowing a corrupt, ineffective nation such as Vascania to rise to near the top in oil and gas production. It was unsure what was meant by his veiled threats of "...we'll see Vascanians being reincarnated under water." and he promised that "...oil spills will be nothing like the ocean of Vascanian that will litter the seas." It is assumed that the Secretary-General and likely leader of Kafuristan has a bone to pick with Vascanian's cutting into the nominally al-Sadhi controlled oil and gas companies in Kafuristan. The reports of "fireworks" were later dismissed and the reports of a coup were also denied by the Sultan's own media and press services however the reports quickly became real when the TV stations around al-Kasraj and other parts of Kafuristan were interrupted with a patriotic image and patriotic music of Secretary-General al-Sadhi resplendent in his military uniform.

According to current reports, the music and image are all that remain across every TV station in Kafuristan.

BREAKING NEWS: Sultan's Palace occupied, Sultan's whereabouts unknown
Early February 4773

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - Personally leading the Republican Guard forces in the overtaking of the Sultan's Palace was Field Marshal, 1st Class Abyad bin Qadir al-Sadhi, the new interim President of the Majatran Republic of Kafuristan and the National Secretary-General of the Majatran Socialist Ba'ath Party. Despite foreign portrayals of the new President, he is a capable commanding officer and has taken command in the field several times as the Sultan's forces once tried to dislodge the Republican Guard forces in the mountains. The occupation of the Sultan's Palace caused a jubilee across the nation as forces loyal to the Ba'athist occupied hundreds of towns, villages and cities across the nation. According to the press report released by the interim Office of the President and the Presidential Council the plan is to hold elections in late February 4773, a feat that Kafuristan has not accomplished in several years. Sources within the Republican Guard and the Republican Guard Security Directorate note that the Sultan's forces have largely folded in many parts of the country but will likely continue to resist, if not for a few years while the new Kafuri Majatran Armed Forces seek them out and kill the traitors. According to Republican Guard Security Directorate reports a number of the Sultan's military have defected to the new state, including key officials within the Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Defense.

In his address to the nation the new President declared that the Kafuri Majatran Armed Forces would be reformed and underneath his wing the Kafuri government would become a "regional power" within a matter of years. Reports have placed elements of the Kafuri Marines and the Republican Guard at a number of sites including one of the nations largest oil refineries at Jablemmanet, the site of famed battle between Kafuri forces and Israist militias. Interim Foreign Minister Madjer Basher welcomed Malivian recognition of the new Kafuri government and stated that the President would be signing a decree formalizing the appointment of Misfar el-Ebrahim as the Ambassador to Malivia, the first appointment for the President. The President noted that the recognition presented further legitimacy to the regime and that the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Oil would be reaching out the Malivian government to discuss increased trade, notably in the field of oil and gas.

President al-Sadhi addresses the nation

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - President Abyad bin Qadir al-Sadhi addressed the nation in one of his many media blitzes, the interim elections held for the People's Council concluded with 75 seats being occupied by the Ba'athist, the legislators officially voted and passed the Constitution of the Majatran Republic of Kafuristan, it will take time for the new government to formalize its structure, change over flags and a number of other titles. According the Ministry of Foreign and Majatran Affairs the recognition of the new government has been "...pouring in." The leadership of the Republican Guard Bureau and the Republican Guard Command have noted that they have completed secured the capital and surrounding areas around the capital, a restoration of basic services was conducted in late February immediately before elections as the interim Mayor of al-Kasraj, Abdul Maalik al-Dajani who serves as the Sub-Branch Secretary for the Ba'athist in al-Kasraj and is widely seen as a close ally of the al-Sadhi clan. Political commentators site this as a reason for the popularity of the Ba'athist, who earned 99.3% of the vote, the other votes were invalidated due to errors in a number of ways.

As the Ba'athist continue to capture swathes of territory, the President issued a number of decrees including the formalization of the Armed Forces of Kafuristan with himself as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and a number of other authorities that grant him broad executive authority that are enshrined in the new constitution. According to another decree he increased pay 25% across the board for all members of the Central Security Directorate and the Public Security Directorate and ordered them en masse to begin a crackdown on rioting and looting across Kafuri cities. The Republican Guard was also ordered to guard all oil refineries and shipments to ports across Kafuristan. Minister of Trade, Industry and Oil Dhaakir al-Sadhi, the brother of the President, has announced the intention of Kafuristan to re-capture the top spot in oil and gas production by the end of the year, a goal that he is working towards "furiously" according to President al-Sadhi.

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - President Abyad bin Qadir al-Sadhi spent a portion of the day in meetings with officials from the Ministry of Defense, the Kafuri Armed Forces and representatives of the Majatran Organization for Industrialization, the largest defense manufacturer in Kafuristan. The President met to discuss the future of the armed forces and rebuilding the "...lost prestige..." that had been robbed of them. Kafuristan according to the Zardic Institute of International Studies, ranks as a "Middle Power" and an "Average" economic power, the President dismissed these claims and stated that the abilities of Kafuristan far surpassed the descriptions of the imperialist ZIIS, but commended them for their "...in-depth analysis of issues facing Kafuristan." Minister of Defense General Abdul Wadood al-Tabatabai has been a close ally of the President and has, according to sources within the Ministry of Defense, worked day and night with members of the General Staff to "correct" the massive issues within Kafuristan. Members of the Military Technical Directorate have worked closely with the MOI to repair a number of facilities to be able to increase motor pool resources for the Kafuri Majatran Army and the MOI has sent dozens of teams to repair airfields and facilities throughout Kafuristan for the Kafuri Majatran Air Force and the Kafuri Majatran Air Defense Force.

The President is also set to meet with a number of religious leaders from Kafuristan, notably influential Abadi clerics, such as Ayatollah Bandar el-Masri and Imam Abdul Jabbaar al-Zia who have provided support to the nominally secular Ba'athist. The presence of el-Masri present a particularly interesting development as it was believed that the Ayatollah was a support of the Sultan but it appears that the Ayatollah might have feigned loyalty in order to survive any sort of purge that tyrannical Sultan may have desired to carry out on his enemies.

al-Kasraj, Abi'nadi - Ministry of Trade, Industry and Oil officials have confirmed that production of oil has increased to near pre-collapse levels, reaching an estimated 10 million barrels per year. While some sources within the Kafuri MTIO cite this as "excessive" the Kafuri oil production underneath the former government continued and was relatively well protected. President al-Sadhi has provided a number of efforts to protecting and expanding the Kafuri oil production over the past several months, including a number of Kafuri Border Force escorts and Republican Guard protective details. President al-Sadhi announced that 25% of all oil and gas profits will be distributed by the Ministry of Health and Social Services on a monthly basis to the people of Kafuristan as means to improve "quality of life" across the board. The decision, when announced by the President at the Presidential Palace, was met with rapturous applause. In his speech he condemned the Vascanian aggression for attempting to undermine the Kafuri economy. Kafuristan relies heavily on its oil and gas production to ensure a steady economy, as the world continues to move away from oil and gas and increasingly to renewable technologies, the Kafuri have not forgotten this and have worked to rebuild and repair the massive solar facilities built by Lourenne some decades prior. According to the Ministry of the Environment and Tourism, nearly 20% of all energy generated in Kafuristan is from renewable sources and the MET wants to increase that.

The expanded production out of Majatran Organization for Industrialization factories has begun to make its way across the armed forces, the most notable deployments have been to Republican Guard forces, the elite of the Kafuri Majatran Army and the Kafuri Strategic Forces. Sources within the MOI announced that the JF-17 fighter jets that were produced with technical assistance from Yingdala are among the most advanced in the region, notably for a Majatran majority nation. The Kafuri Air Defense Forces, equipped with MiG-21-97's which are considered to be a modernized version of the Trigunian-built MiG-21, has been restored to near 100% capacity and has worked to rebuild the "Kafuri Shield" air and missile defense network that has been developed over several years to maintain the sovereignty of Kafuristan.
