Systematic Erradication of Kunikata
Horrific scale of treatment of ethnic minorities under Unterberger regime exposed, including nature of so-called "training camps"Friday 30th October, 4495 Shocking new reports have emerged from inside the so-called "training camps" constructed by the Independent Haukist Movement across Utari Mosir. The camps were set up to "find a role in the economy" for citizens who did not belong to one of the country's two major ethnic groups: Hulstrians and Utaris. Under a radical system of societal organisation called "Unterbergerism", the government has been dividing industries based on race, with Utaris designated as agricultural workers and Hulstrians as administrators.

The latest developments, though, have exposed the scale of the crimes being committed by the Unterberger regime. Three camps in particular have begun a programme of state-mandated mass murder according to accounts from escaped inmates. Mühlberg, Shifuralder and Stralkamp are all home primarily to Kunikata people, the country's largest ethnic minority group, and this has led many to refer to the crimes as a genocide.
Regardless of the terminology used, it is clear that the Unterberger government is enacting policies aimed at the systematic erradication of Utari's minority groups. In addition to the killings, which are primarily carried out by firing squads, conditions at the camps fall well short of the minimum standards for human living. Inmates are made to sleep in large warehouse-style buildings without mattresses and are given poor quality meals that, combined with the harsh manual labour that most are subjected to, has resulted in almost as many deaths as have been formally ordered.
No member of the government has admitted to the murders or even to the true nature of the camps. The only official acknowledgement of their existence came in a presidential speech by Unterberger when she described how "our economy will remain dynamic and flexible with the new skills these people will learn at training camps across the nation". Members of the ethnic minority population who have not been interned have already begun flooding out of the country, many heading for Kunikata-majority Ostland.
