General Strike brings Noumonde to standstill
Alliance supporters protesting in central Nouville
Millions of Noumon workers have defied the King by participating in a General Strike in protest at the King's suspension of parliamentary democracy and imposition of emergency rule.
Industrial action is rare in Noumonde, where going on strike is technically a criminal offence. This is the largest mass walk-out in living memory, and is causing unprecedented interruption to economic and social life in the country.
Land seizures break out across countryside
Reports are coming in of large tracts of Canrillaise (OOC: French)-owned farms being vandalised, invaded and seized by Malgy (OOC: Madagascan) agricultural labours resentful of the phenomenal differences in living standards between themselves and the landowners. As well as demanding the restoration of democracy, they are also calling for a radical land redistribution program.
