The People and Nation of the Maghreb: An Introduction

January, 2026

___________

”The Maghreb- The western part of North Africa and the Arab World. The region includes Mauritania, Libya, and the former states of Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria. Through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, English sources often referred to the region as the Barbary Coast or the Barbary States, a term derived from the demonym of the Berbers. The dominant social, political, and economic force in the area is the Republic of Maghreb.”

- Wikipedia definition of The Maghreb

___________

Casablanca, 1990. A simple table sat on the beach. Across the water on one side, a city of two million people. On the other side, the Barbary Coast. Further, the deep blue reaches of the Atlantic Ocean. Around the table were three men: King Hassan II of Morocco, President Chandli Benjedid of Algeria, and President Ben Ali of Tunisia. Olive-clad men milled around them, their rifles glistening against the evening sun. While only Hassan styled himself as such, all three men were Kings in their own rights. Each was a brutal despot, married to power, a crop that can only be cultivated in the barrel of a gun. But in the roiling conflict of the Cold War, even the threat of violence could only do so much. Time only served to liberalize their citizens as technology acquainted them with freer ways of life. With the writing on the wall, they gathered to contemplate their options. They saw that they could be greater than the sum of their parts and that in that way, each man could cling to their positions. Born that day was the Republic of Maghreb.

Maghreb was founded as and remains to this day, a constitutional monarchy. Hassan was inaugurated and given the title King of The Berbers. Governmental power rested in the National Assembly and the Council of Ministers. The Assembly was split into two houses: The House of Councillors and the House of Representatives. The HoR was popularly elected but held only limited power to pass laws. The HoC on the other hand, was appointed by the King and had the sole legislative power to appoint Ministers, rule on matters of defense and foreign affairs, and adopt annual budgets. The Premier was simply an extension of the King and for the first decade, Benjedid ruled as both Chairman and Defense Minister. So repressive and violent was the reign of King Hassan that Moroccan history remembers his 30-year reign as the Years of Lead. Under his bloody tutelage, Maghreb maintained its relative neutrality in the Cold War. While Morocco had always leaned towards the US and Algeria had always leaned towards Russia, no explicit sides had ever been taken, nor had Tunisia. Its place as an undecided yet powerful third-world nation stopped the international community from ever expressing too much concern over the abuses of the Hassan period.

But in 1999, HassanÂ’s lead was melted. The tyrant was felled by Pneumonia and replaced by his son, Muhammad VI. The next year, Muhammad conducted the Revolution of 2000. Utilizing the monarchyÂ’s power over the military and security forces, Muhammad initiated a campaign of arrests, starting with several top government ministers and Premier Benjedid. An interim government was appointed and anti-corruption campaigns continued for the next several years. In 2002, Maghreb experienced its first legitimate democratic elections. In 2003, Black November plunged the country into further turmoil as a military conspiracy attempted to overthrow King Muhummad. Loyalist military forces battled for control of Casablanca for three weeks before the coup was put down. Finally, at peace, Muhummad set about his policies. Over the course of the 2000s, he handed increasing degrees of power to the Parliament and Chairman, which was renamed to Prime Minister in 2007. By 2011 the office of King was effectively a figurehead. By most of the populace, MuhummadÂ’s democratic reforms were viewed positively and he is seen as having used his power to strengthen MaghrebÂ’s institutions. More controversial has been his social liberalism, backing laws that have advanced womenÂ’s social and legal equality. Also controversial have been MuhummadÂ’s backing of continued semi-isolationist policies. Critics allege that successive Prime MinisterÂ’s choosing not to engage with the international community has held back MaghrebÂ’s development.

An undeniable success of the last 40 years of Maghrebi unity has been the cultivation of a distinct Maghrebi national identity based on the Arab-Berber population. Arab-Berbers form 99% of the Maghrebi people, who speak variously Maghrebi Arabic, French, and a handful of Berber languages. These languages have been promoted in schools and general society, leading to a resurgence of new Berber speakers. Additionally, a new generation of working adults now occupies the Maghreb that does not know life without the Republic. Maghrebi culture idolizes the ancient Kingdom of Numidia as well as the Muslim Caliphates. There is a highly nostalgic and romantic view of the Barbary Pirates, not dissimilar from Paramerican conceptions of cowboys. Sunni Islam is equally homogenous, with negligible minorities of Jews, ShiÂ’ites, and Christians. This homogeneity in both identity and religion has created relative social unity in the Maghrebi population, with cleavages remaining in regional culture and politics. Into the late 20s, the people have come to see themselves as the dominant force in North Africa and to an extent West Africa. Since 2003, Maghreb has experienced stable economic growth and legitimate democratic governance. To the South, the Sahelia Emirate and its isolationism are viewed with a kind of cautious curiosity. Sudan is seen as an equal and possible partner. Though scarred by colonialism, public opinion on Europe is softening, particularly on France and Spain. The nation remains split on the topic of relations with the East or West. Motivated by all of this, there is a rising public consensus that the Republic of Maghreb should be taking a more active role in regional and global politics.

In internal politics, three parties lead: The Justice and Development Party, the Democratic National Rally, and the National Liberation Front. The JDP is right-wing, being socially conservative and economically liberal, favoring closer relations with the United States. The DNR is center-right, being more populist while supporting economic liberalism. It does not favor anywhere on the global scene and advocates moderate Islam. The NLF is left-wing and economically leftist, favoring Russia and generally taking an anti-imperialist stance. Other relevant parties are the PeopleÂ’s Socialist Front, the Renaissance Party, the National Unity Party, and Democratic Current. The PSP is left-wing, advocating socialism and an anti-west stance. The Renaissance is populist and Islamist. The NUP is Abdulrahmanist, wanting to draw the nation closer to the USAN. The Democratic Current is centrist and democratic, working with sides of the aisle. The current coalition is between the JDP, DNR, and NUP, with Ahmed Ouyahia as Prime Minister. Ouyahia has served as Prime Minister before in the 2010ss, popular for supporting democratic reforms and economic progress. Responding to popular discontent over the isolationist stance, Ouyahia has agreed to become Prime Minister again, seeking to forge new foreign relations with both West and East.

The Republic of Maghreb has a population of 95 million and a GDP of 382 billion. The capital, Casablanca, has a metro population of 4.2 million and is the largest port in North Africa and is considered the financial center of Africa. Now, the people of Maghreb set their sights on the world.

THE PRIME MINISTER SUGA WILL MAKE FIRST STATE VISIT TO ISRAEL (Israelli)

[sup]TOKYO METROPOLIS, THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN[/sup]

| Jerusalem becomes the next country to strengthen relations with Tokyo. At a press conference held at the Foreign Ministry, Mr. Toshimitsu Motegi officially announced that the Empire of Japan now intends to focus again on the Middle East, but now specifically on the State of Israel. We must recognize that the Empire of Japan did not come as close as it should have to Jerusalem, but relations between the two countries have been good since 1952, when Japan recognized Israel and that is when relations between the two nations began to form. Both in the Empire of Japan and in the State of Israel, in both countries there is a legation (In Tokyo there is the Israel Legation and in Israel there is the Japan Legation). In relation to the Muslim states of the Middle East, the relations of these Arab nations with the Empire of Japan are considered “weak” due to the problems that arose in North Borneo and that a Police State had to be imposed in the region, causing many nations Muslims opposed to the Empire of Japan, including, of course, the USAN, a country vital to Japan's oil supply. |

| With Prime Minister Suga's visit to Abu Dhabi, this opposition by Muslim nations to the Empire of Japan appears to have ended, as Suga publicly announced in Tokyo that the reason for imposing a Police State in North Borneo would be to arrest Muslim terrorists who use Islam to impose terror. In a note officially published by Kantei, the Empire of Japan will seek greater ties with Israel in research, economy and culture, it is also clear that Tokyo will show a broad interest in technology start-ups — Also discussed will be the current situation of the Turkish Armed Forces' attacks on Lebanon, which is in fact an extreme concern for violating international law and that neither the Empire of Japan nor even the US and other countries will not stand by and just watch Ankara violate international law. Tokyo will be on the side of Washington D.C. as always. Prime Minister Suga confirmed that the state trip to Israel will be a 4-day trip, which is considered enough time to strengthen relations with Jerusalem. |

Shortly after being informed of an imminent attack from Turkey, Khaled Al-Asad gathers his advisors and bodyguards to Beirut Square for a speech to directly brief the people of Lebanon of the situation on live television. A crowd also begins forming close by the Square.

Al-Asad: "Good morning, People of Lebanon. Today I must bring you critical news of what I can only call a a cowardly action committed by a most vile and disgusting so called "leader" Erdogan. He has decided to wage a war against us, He thinks we are an easy picking and we will back down with no fight.... I do not think he knows the fervor that our great arab people hold. He does not understand the unity we have. He underestimates our resolve. We will not compromise or kneel in the face of injustice. We will not let evil triumph over virtue.

I call upon you, Everyone able-bodied to pick up a weapon to defend their country, Honor, Dignity and their way of life. Do not show them mercy. Do not hesitate to defend your land. Close your heart to their desperation. Close your heart to their suffering. Do not feel for your enemy, For they will not feel for you. We will shortly begin to use every drop of blood and sweat of our brave soldiers to fight off this pest."

Loud cheering from the Lebanese people is heard as they all begin to receive weaponry from crates handed by soldiers.

RESONSE TO : DEFENSE OF TRIPOLI

With Turkish Bayraktar Akıncı UCAVs flying at an average altitude of 10,000m (capability to fly at 12,192 m) they are entirely immune to the ground-based anti-aircraft capabilities that the Lebanese have at their disposal (stated AA weaponry at the very least due to the ground-launched MICA Missile having a vertical altitude of 0-9km aka 1km short. The air-launched variants being utilized by the Lebanese Mig-21 & Su-25 Aircraft would however be more of a danger as its range is vastly increased compared to the ground-launched versions as vertical altitude is less of an issue. Turkey, however, with its large-scale deployment of not only the F-16C/Ds but also the Akıncı no doubt results in greater radar and therefore tracking ability, especially due to the capability of said aircraft to link systems at will, something most older Aircraft like the Mig-21 & Su-25 lack (and i assume lack given no mention of variants). With half of the Akıncı UCAVs armed with the Gökdoğan AAM they are given the ability to assist in shooting down these inferior aircraft with the use of the Gökdoğan BVRAAM Missile, capable of all aspect attack (all aspect means it can track and pursue targets heading in any direction relative to the missile, some [such as the MICA] can only track ones flying away from it).

Chances of Turkish losses are minute at best given the capabilities afforded to the enemy, and compared to the superior capabilities of weapons manned by Turkish Aircraft, the loss of one or two Aircraft is conceivable, however. With the use of AGM-88 HARM Missiles in direct opposition to the short-ranged ground-based MICA however, it is safe to say that Turkish F-16C/Ds will annihilate the Radar based defenses of the enemy on a local and overall level.

RESPONSE TO : TRIPOLI PERIMITER DEFENSE

ISSUE: No previous mention of Bunkers was made, nor was implied so i am just going to pretend like it was not mentioned as Bunkers cannot be constructed overnight. Mines are easier to expect as they take less time, i would certainly argue however that due to the short term nature of this invasion not many have been planted.

The Turkish Fleet makes definite contact with the Lebanese Navy, after all no Civilian movement of ships would be feasible or advisable towards a large-scale military target in general. Firing from the longest range afforded them, they demonstrate the highly dangerous nature of the G-class frigate, being is an upgraded Oliver Hazard Perry-class (itself intensely capable) it is armed with a vast array of both anti-ship and anti-air missiles. Given the suicidal intentions of many Lebanese Aircraft coming closer to the Fleet they are authorized to utilize their CIWS in a non-missile function, that being to rapidly rip to shreds any aircraft approaching the Ship on a direct and fast heading.

Engaging with their Harpoon Missile complement along with their high caliber Artillery when in range the futile nature of the Lebanese counter-move is apparent, as they would have been much better utilized in harassing attacks against the Turkish Fleet throughout the course of the war, rather than a head-on suicide mission. The Turkish attackers are afforded no explanation as to why they would sacrifice themselves in such a manner however, being only forced to carry out their duty in defending not only the Fleet but the men being carried on it.

When they do approach the Coastline however they will certainly disappoint the Lebanese Defenders however as a two-hour barrage is planned onto the coastlines where they are to land, which would shake up defenders, destroy minefields and clear a way for a large scale landing. The Air Force would be directed to assist said barrage, carrying out attacks on Lebanese positions behind the coastline itself where Artillery would traditionally be stationed for fire support. For such a task they would employ Bayraktar Akıncı UCAVs equipped with SOM ALCM Cruise Missiles, the low observable, high precision cruise missile would prove to no doubt be a formidable weapon for the role it will be assigned.

* No response needed to General Defence as its not locational and is general and the response to which is the General offensive.

[pre]

The Empire of Japan recognizes that, in recent years, relations

between Tokyo and Seoul have really gone through serious turmoil,

with the old wounds reappearing that placed the Empire of Japan

and the Kingdom of Korea against each other, and finally now it feels

like Tokyo and Seoul are at peace, but it will take a while for the old

scars to be forgotten. One thing is certain, Suga Administration will

always be ready for the surprises that come out of the “Korean Box”.

The term "Korean Box" was coined by Former Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe himself, to say that anything that comes out of Korea

can surprise everyone in the International Community.

With the first visit of a Japanese leader to Korean territory by

Prime Minister Suga in Seoul in July 2025, in Korea. Tokyo

it really showed that it was willing to redirect Japanese-Korean

relations towards a path of cooperation and friendship between

the two nations. Plans revealed by Kantei, says that a second

official visit will be made to Seoul next year, precisely to ensure that

relations between the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Korea

remain strong.[/pre][/list][/list]

| [sub]The Royal Korean Household has announced that the Crown Prince and his wife Princess Kako are expecting their third child in the new year. Their child with be King Ahnjong's fifth grandchild, with Second Prince Yi Jin and his wife having had twin girls earlier in the year. The third child of Crown Prince Yi Ki-jung will be unlikely to ever inherit the throne, however the expansion of the House of Yi is most welcome having fallen in numbers dramatically after the Japanese occupation, the Korean War, and the abolition period. King Ahnjong inherited the throne in February 1996 from his father, however before then it had been passed between brothers and nephews due to the dwindling numbers. The numbers weren't helped by Yi Jung-hee's decision to step down from his royal titles and move into politics, a move that eventually paid off with him becoming Prime Minister in the 2024 election.[/sub] |

| [sub]Princess Yi Ji-ae is the next to likely be married following her graduation from university, her choice of studies intitially caused a bit of a fuss in Korea's upper class, having chosen to study Civil Engineering. It had been noted for some time that Yi Ji-ae wasn't what most people would call a typical princess, she had taken a keen interest in academia from a young age moving out to the United Kingdom to take the course in Cambridge. Princess Yi Ji-ae's children are the least likely to ever see the throne due to the rules of skipping females. Her youngest brothers children would see the throne before hers would.[/sub] |

| [sub]The youngest child of the King, Third Prince Yi Dong-hyuk, was a surprise edition to the family having been born in 2011. The now just turned fifteen year old is just starting his studies at high school, where he will be for the next three years. Not much is known about the Prince as the family tend to keep him out of the spotlight until he turns eighteen when he can decide for himself if he wants to appear in public.[/sub] |

[B]Maghreb Mobilizes To Confront Refugee Crisis

[I]Casablanca, Republic of Maghreb[/I]

December, 2025

___________

[list]With refugees bleeding from the open wound of Lebanon, Prime Minister Oiyahu faces the first major crisis of his tenure, but also the first major opportunity. Elected on a promise of a more active geo-political role for Maghreb, the Turkish Intervention in Lebanon is a chance to take that role.

As refugees bleeding from the open wound of Beirut, they fled to several predictable locations. Those who could afford it fled directly to Europe, or into Maghreb with connecting flights into Spain or France. Many others couldnÂ’t afford connecting flights or tickets on expensive European airlines, and now find themselves stranded in the airports of Tunis or Algiers, with little money and no place to go. But Lebanon is not a rich country. Only a select few had the money and time to escape by air. Maghrebi officials suspect the vast majority of refugees will flee by boat into the violent churn of the Medditeranean. This saddles them with three likely destinations: Greece, Italy, and Maghreb. PM Oiyahu has mobilized both the government and military to prepare for the anticipated influx. The National Assembly approved a 25 Million Dollar appropriations bill to provide for refugees. This includes temporary billeting at hotels and apartments, medical care, and financial assistance in reaching Europe. Additionally, King Muhammad VI announced he would be donating 50 Million to the Red Crescent as well as Doctors Without Borders

The Navy has organized the Refugee Interception Task Force. Recognizing the likelihood that refugees will not be fleeing in safe numbers or on safe vessels, the task force will seek to locate and intercept refugee ships, delivering them to Maghreb or a closer port safely and aboard Maghrebi vessels. Leading this effort will be the NavyÂ’s two modified San Giorgio-Class amphibious transport docks, the Kalaat Beni Hammed and the Kalaat Beni Abbes. Unencumbered with armored vehicles, each ship has a capacity of roughly 700 people as well as 60-bed hospitals and several surgical operating rooms. The ships will dispatch helicopters on patrol to identify refugee ships, which will then be intercepted and rescued by the AbbesÂ’ and HammadÂ’s landing ships. Accompanying the transports will be 4 Diebel Chenoua-Class corvettes and 2 Adhafer-Class Frigates which will assist in finding refugees. The task force will be deployed in the area from the coast of Maghreb as far east as Crete.

Military officials are optimistic but have acknowledged the gravity of the task. On the matter, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Saïd Chengriha said: “We recognize the gravity of our operation. Thousands of lives are at stake and we do not have unlimited resources. Patrolling the Mediterranean is like skimming a pool with a ladle. But I trust in the capability of our proud Navy. We shall do everything we can.” Accordingly, the Maghreb Foreign Ministry has called on New Provenance, Metropolitan Francais, and Pontianus, to raise their efforts to protect refugees.

TURKISH EMBASSY, TOKYO METROPOLIS, Philanialle — MORNING

| With Turkey's recent military attack on Lebanon, protests have broken out in front of the Turkish Embassy in Tokyo, many accusing the Turks of violating international law and that this will definitely not be tolerated by the international community. Kantei itself only issued one condemnation, stating, “The Empire of Japan condemns the Turkish army's attacks on Lebanon, we must oppose countries that do not comply with international law,” says Katsunobu Katō, Chief Cabinet Secretary — The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department was called in to contain the protesters protesting against Turkey and at the same time the protesters asked the Empire of Japan to expel the Turkish legation from Japan, but that was totally out of the question because Turkey is a NATO member. Prime Minister Suga, in response to these "Anti-Turkey" protests, declared, |

[list]| [sub]YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister[/sub] | “The recently issued statement of condemnation is more than enough to show Turkey that the Empire of Japan is against such acts against international law.”[/list]

| But even with Prime Minister Suga's statement, protests continued in front of the Turkish embassy over attacks on Lebanon, triggering a refugee crisis. All the protesters pointed to large posters that said “The Empire of Japan will not accept doing business with Turkey!”, other posters also said “Get out of our country!” — Kantei reaffirms that the Prime Minister will not cut diplomatic ties with Turkey, only the condemnation imposed on Ankara will be valid. With the protests underway, the Suga Administration has found a solution to end them, which will be to evacuate the area where the Turkish Embassy is located, mobilizing armed Japanese police to repel the protesters — This really worked, but one protester threw a stone at one of the windows of the Turkish Embassy, and quickly that same protester was detained by the police. According to the police report, this protester was a 23-year-old university student who was studying engineering at the University of Tokyo. |

Cultures, Factories, and Statements

Mayor Roman Szełemej, of Wałbrzych had gotten together with local Silesian leaders at his home regarding their cultural heritage. They had discussed a couple options including: a national week in the Silesian region honouring their culture, going to Warsaw to ask them to make a National Day of Silesian Culture, or to raise funds for a museum to their culture. The leaders and he would eventually settle on building a museum that would act as an extension of the Książ Castle. The castle is third largest in Poland and the largest in the southwest. Mayor Szełemej would visit the castle itself and discuss further options with the CEO of the castle, Krzystof Urbański. Urbański offered to host a permanent section of the castle to the Silesian people's to avoid having to build any additions on to the museum and would allow the museum to bring in more revenue by charging an additional fee which would be defined as 62zł or 16 USD. Said fees would had 60% of them go back into the Silesian community while the city of Wałbrzych would take 20% and the Castle itself would take the other 20%. Mayor Szełemej would attend the opening of it whenever.

With the city of Chorzów facing a higher unemployment rate than the national level by a couple points, Mayor Andzrej Kotala would be looking to allow, with regulations, the formerly shut down industrial plants to reopen and to train, on site, the new employees. Mayor Kotala would also request to the EU some investments upon asking Warsaw for permission. Mayor Kotala also would attempt to further increase the campus of the Silesian University by allowing more departments to open up and placing Chorzów on the Silesian map competing with Gliwice. Another project that the Mayor was focusing on would be doing an annual inspection of each of the various Parks, museums and other educational and leisure sites to see if they needed to be refurbished or to grant additional funding for them to add on to their locations in an attempt to draw in more visitors. Most decided that they'd like to have onsite cafés so the mayor had them all submit their budget proposals, and the total would be 1M USD. The city would cover 40% of the costs or 400K USD of it with the newly earned taxes from the new industrial plants. Mayor Kotala would be hopeful the city could be placed back on the map.

Nationally Poland would be watching the news and keeping up with current events, PM Mateusz Moraweicki would have been informed of the events in Lebanon in which Turkey would be invading them. PM Moraweicki would begin to draft his response to that invasion. The PM would be condemning said invasion calling out the Turks for attacking such a small nation for no reason other than expansion and would bring up Polands own history regarding the events of WWI and WWII in which much larger nations quickly invaded and occupied Poland. The PM would stop short of any actions on the Turks due to the nature of the Lebanese coup condemning that too and mentioning the need for self determination via elections not tanks. President(?) Al-Asad was therefore not recognised by the Polish Republic as the head of state of Lebanon and Poland would recognise either the former head of state or the future democratically elected leader. Poland also would not be tacking on economic buffers with Turkey seeing how it is a fellow ally of Ukraine and a fellow NATO member but would still stress the condemnation of the invasion. However Poland would also be willing to accept 10K Lebanese MARONITE Catholic refugees.

DECEMBER 2025

MOSCOW - RUSSIAN FEDERATION[/B]

[B]IVCHENKO - GORBACHEV MEETING (SUMMARY)[/B]

Viktor Ivchenko, President of the Russian Federation met with Mikhail Gorbachev, former President of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in Moscow, and discussed a variety of ‘important’ issues. The pair also discussed the state of the Russian Federation, with President Gorbachev giving advice to first term President Ivchenko. President Gorbachev, upon meeting with President Ivchenko congratulated him on his successful victory in the Russian elections, and for demonstrating that Russia too can aspire to a peoples democracy. Gorbachev further commended Ivchenko on “restoring the old value system” although reportedly critical on Ivchenko returning the VKP to the central leading role within the state.

President Ivchenko and President Gorbachev, despite the criticism, were able to agree on several topics, particularly surrounding the legacy of successive leaders Anatoly Petrov, Dmitry Medvedev and Vladimir Putin. The two were in agreement of the controversial historical legacy of the three leaders, and jointly condemned their betrayal of common values historically held by the Russian people. However, of their legacy, both Ivchenko and Gorbachev agreed that the actions taken in defence of Russia and RussiaÂ’s near abroad, and the protection of Russian speaking populations seen under the Putin administration were wholly necessary. Although the manner in which that defence took place was of disagreement.

The pair would continue their conversations, discussing the government's current focus on economic and social development in Russia’s Far East. In a final bid, Gorbachev advised President Ivchenko to “embrace and deepen relations with eastern partners”. With Russia currently negotiating a FTA with Korea and Japan, and pushing for China’s addition to the agreement, Gorbachev's advice acts as confirmation that Russia is on the correct developmental path.

The Backstory of Emir UsmanÂ… part 1

[pre]2018[/pre]

Agadez District, Niger State, Sahelia Emirate

“Ya! Ya! Ya!”

[list]Shouted Usman as his majestic white horse galloped down a sand dune and onto hard dry soil. Riding just in front of him and also on horseback was Soundiata, his younger brother and the two looked at each other with sheepish and competitive grins as they raced each other in the middle of the Northern deserts of Niger StateÂ…[/list]

Soundiata: By Allah, if you beat me I will personally lick your shoe!

Usman: You cocky idiot, see you not the horse I ride on?

[list]Usman & SoundiataÂ’s horses galloped fiercely under the scorching sun until finally, UsmanÂ’s horse inched past SoundiataÂ’s at the last minute.

Soundiata jumped off his horse and threw his turban to the ground in frustration. Usman got off his horse and laughed heartily.[/list]

Usman: So how about licking my shoe?

Soundiata: Show mercy on your dear brother, Usman! Haha, show mercy!

Usman walked up to Soundiata and punched him on the arm with a chuckle.

[list]Â…Suddenly, a brown vehicle came riding down a paved-road that was near them leading to the nearest town. The vehicle had the flag of the Sahelia Emirate on its hood & was driven by a man in a white suit, white gloves and sunglasses. He wore a gold pin signifying he was a representative of the Emir himselfÂ… It was 2018 & Suleiman Muhammad was the Emir of Sahelia.[/list]

Soundiata: Hey Usman! ItÂ’s someone from the capital!

[list]Usman frowned slightly and walked his horse towards the vehicle thag had just stopped in front of them. The man stepped out.[/list]

Malik: Young princes, this is Malik a secretary of His Excellency, Emir Suleiman. I have been given an order to bring Usman Muhammad to the capital of Bamako to assume the position of Minister of the Interior.

UsmanÂ’s eyes widened. He then jumped up for joy and hugged Soundiata.

Usman: Yes! Yes! My application went through it went through!

Soundiata: Praise be to Allah! My dear brotherÂ’s shall be among the big names of this country haha! YouÂ’ll make father so proud & our dear departed grandfather Tally Muhammad proud too!

Usman: Indeed! I shall be among those who have brought honour to the Muhammad clan.

Malik: Come now men, IÂ’ll drive you to the nearest town where you can take a plane to Bamako.

Usman: No need. We shall ride on horseback to the nearest town. Drive, we shall follow behind you.

[list]Malik nodded, got in his car and began driving. Usman and Soundiata got on their horses and rode behind him. Usman then took out an iphone 7, turned on a VPN & accessed Youtube. Soundiata gasped.[/list]

Soundiata: Hey! You know weÂ’re not allowed to access Youtube!? DonÂ’t play that stuff with this guy around.

[list]Usman: Oh whatever, you worry too much I shall just watch a basketball game. That is all. These Paramericans Paramountica are unusual folk, millions of them gather in stadiums to watch men bounce balls around a hall.

Soundiata: Perhaps it is their sport, like how we fly falcons here or race horses.[/list]

Usman: Indeed! One dayÂ… we too shall play these sportsÂ

DECLARATION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Object : Actions of Turkey against Lebanon

The Council, holding its emergency meeting of the Heads of State, has taken notice of the actions by Turkey against Lebanon.

While evidence suggests Lebanon represented a potential danger to security in the area, the Union firmly condemns such unilateral actions which only worsens the situation.

By letter, the Government of Lebanon has proposed to allow EU inspectors and conform to future requirements of compliance to its international obligations. Yet, it has come to the attention of this Council, that the action taken by Turkey does not constitute an intervention but a direct open invasion, independent of what Lebanon has to done or will do in the future.

In these conditions, the Union stands with the respect of sovereignty and the obligations to not use force and condemns Turkey. Other specific measures will be discussed at a later meeting.

Outside the zone set up by the police around th embassy, a crowd had gathered to watch the drama unfold with many Asking for justice and the arrest of Hemeti immideatly. In the public eyes, Hemeti was still inside the Embassy surrounded by the Khartoum Metropolitan Police awaiting his surrender.

Back in the Presidential Palace, Prime Minister Binallah was ready to call Abu Dhabi for an approval to apprehend Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo who he thinks is inside the Embassy of USAN.

Secretary Nardar :| "we do not have an authority to stop or search any staff members that work at the USAN Embassy wether that be the Ambassador or his bodyguards.

The car comes back as a rental from El-Fashir. We have two of our best agents on the case sir."

Secretary Nardar :| "to be fair sir... this is the country that was home to the known terrorist Osama Bin Laden who had orchestrated the East Africa U.S. embassy bombings in the former Kenya and Tanzania and the USS Cole bombing in Yemen back in the 80s and 90s.

Amid releasing Somaliland and bringing all personnel, weaponry, businesses, and investments back into the USAN whilst achieving a mutual partnership with the EU and preliminary discussions of a Free Trade Agreement with Israel, the Grand Emir appeared to be satisfied. After a few moments, the private line to his office would ring. Letting it ring three times, the Grand Emir would pick up the phone and speak:

Angola Condemns Turkish invasion of Lebanon

Following news of the assault by Turkish forces on Lebanon, the Angolan Ministry of External Relations has quickly issued a statement condemning the invasion and called for international action to protect LebanonÂ’s sovereignty. Having previously opposed the Gallan incursion into Somaliland, the Angolan government similarly announces opposition to the actions of Turkey. Subsequently, the government has offered to provide supplies and aid workers to any nation facing struggles from the Lebanese refugee crisis.

THE PRIME MINISTER SUGA STARTS TAKING THE FIRST STEPS TO INVEST EVEN MORE ON A LARGE SCALE IN THE KINGDOM OF KOREA (Rutannia)

[sup]TOKYO METROPOLIS, THE EMPIRE OF JAPAN[/sup]

| Diplomatic relations between the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Korea finally became strong and stable. That done, Prime Minister Suga will now implement a large-scale investment plan in the Kingdom of Korea, aiming to make the Empire of Japan its main ally, partner and investor for Seoul — This increase in Japanese investments in “Joseon”, commonly called by high-ranking members of Government of Japan, will be in the research and culture sectors and mainly in the economic sector, as well as in technology start-ups. According to Kantei, investments in the Kingdom of Korea will soon add up to US $ 4.7 Billion. In addition, the Suga Administration will be responsible for building a high-security nuclear power plant located in Hamhung, North Korea, with the aim of increasing Korea's national power capacity. One sector that will benefit greatly from Prime Minister Suga's plan will be the Korean banking sector, with the arrival of more Japanese banks in the Kingdom of Korea. |

| Of course, serious doubts began to arise that investing in Korea would be a good alternative? Because, as everyone knows, the Kingdom of Korea has been an unstable country and this can make "massive" Japanese investments in the Kingdom of Korea difficult — but the Suga Administration has shown all Japanese investors to increase their investments in Korea. “If Joseon were in political and economic chaos, of course the Empire of Japan would close the 'money faucet', but as Joseon is not in an economic chaos that could harm our investments, I'm sure we can entrust our investments to Seoul”, said Prime Minister Suga. Another thing that was also added was the interest of the Empire of Japan in building a high-speed railway linking Pyongyang to Seoul, the construction of this railway would be coordinated by the Central Japan Railway Company. |

| Some professors specializing in international relations from Japanese universities point out that this "investment plan" by Prime Minister Suga would actually be a way to increase the influence of the Japanese Empire under the Kingdom of Korea, to keep Korea as an ally and partner of Tokyo and prevent the new generation of Korean leaders from being anti-Japanese in the future. Which is perfectly understandable, as Tokyo has had a lot of headaches with Seoul in recent years, and now the Empire of Japan and the Kingdom of Korea have an excellent diplomatic relationship and the Empire of Japan will use this to its advantage to increase influence Japanese in Seoul. |

Stepping into the World of Politics: Backstory of Emir Usman, part 2

Usman was the grandson of Tally Muhammad, the founding father & national hero of the Sahelia Emirate.

Musa Muhammad (UsmanÂ’s father) father was born out of one of TallyÂ’s many polygamous political marriages to consolidate his power & legitimacy. UsmanÂ’s grandmother was therefore the Afro-Sahelian of a powerful chief in the Niger region. Musa Muhammad married an Arab woman & thus Usman was born.

[list]Born in 1988, all his life Usman had been an adventurous young man, constantly seeking thrill & this never left him. This often got him in trouble.

For example, when mobile phones came out & the internet became restricted, he used VPNs to access foreign content despite how illegal it was. As a teenager he started an illegal business smuggling non-government approved books from abroad, only the status of his father saved him from prison sentence. In school he got punished often by his teachers for constantly questioning them on hard topics about the ‘Outside World’.[/list]

Nevertheless, after graduating university he showed great potential in his volunteering activities, constantly trying to help his local community in Niamey & travelling all across the Niger region to help people in remote areas in need. He also became a student of various famous Sufi imams in his 20s and his connection with them put him in high esteem among the extremely powerful religious elite of the Emirate.

When he applied to become Minister of the Interior when the vacancy opened up, his reputation & direct relation to Tally Muhammad making him the cousin of the Emir at the time, Suleiman Muhammad, caused his application to be fast-tracked and approved.

[list]Now he was Minister of the Interior, it would be his duty to handle various internal affairs in the country. Whether it be conflicts or conspiracies with the Consultative Council (legislative body of the Emirate), corruption, business interests, tribal feuds or national religious debates between the traditional Islamic scholars and the Sufi imams, he would be frontline.[/list]

Emir Suleiman trusted that UsmanÂ’s benevolent nature, coupled with his unorthodox manner of thinking compared to the majority of the Sahelian elite would make him a beacon of hope for the future of the Emirate.

And so begun his political careerÂ…

LEBANON'S DARKEST HOUR

Shortly after the brutal Turkish bombardment on the city of Tripoli, Several news stations begin covering the casualties as one reporter has stated:

"Reporting live from the perimeter of Tripoli, Hundreds and hundreds of civilians are being transported away from the city through military vans and ambulances.Trucks carrying dozens of corpses, Many of them children as young as 5 have disfigured and mutilated due to their homes collapsing from the aerial bombings. *A civilian, Bloodied and covered in dirt and dust, approaches the reporter* "We were just having a family dinner. Me, my wife and my little girl. It all happened so fast. We heard a loud noise and the roof began to collapse as we tried to get away... Our house has completely collapsed... And then I saw my wife and my little girl laying below the rubble...Aya..My little girl's head had been crushed by the falling ceiling...Where is the humanity!? What have we done to deserve this!? SAVE US FROM THESE SAVAGES!"

_________________________________________________

Khaled Al-Asad from presidential palace: "These past few days have been the darkest days for the Lebanese people. Erdogan has shown that he has no spine nor does he have any honor. His greed for wealth, Power and Land is never satiated. He will do everything in his power for these things....But I do not think the Turks understand what they have just unleashed upon themselves. They have cursed themselves by harming our people and stepping on our sovereign soil. He is hoping that with all the chaos that is happening a civil war would be unchained. My brothers and sisters... Muslims and the Christians alike, We may have different beliefs or different religions... But what unites us both is God. And as it is mentioned in both holy books that we must stand up against bullies. We must stand up against oppressors of the people. For we will be tasked to give them agonizing punishment.... the Locusts in our gardenÂ… You see theyÂ’ve come for us... TheyÂ’ve come to destroy all that weÂ’ve built! We knew this moment would come. We have prepared for it...They want to take our pride, Take our freedom. Take our faith. We will not let them. We will not let their greed, or their immorality, or their depravity hurt us anymore!

Hours and hours of exchanging fire and artillery on the coast have passed as the Turkish finally manage to slowly push through the defenses and began deploying onto the beaches while the Lebanese forces begin to fall back south west towards Tripoli.

Khaled Al-Asad meets with his advisors inside the war room and devises a plan to anticipate the Turkish advancement.

[spoiler=Soldiers used across the map]

250,000 Soldiers (Including paramilitary and special operations)

[/spoiler]

Eastern borders of Tripoli begin fortifications by the Lebanese army.

Several machine gun nests setup far apart with barbed wire in-between. Dozens and dozens of towed artillery is stationed behind the main line to bombard enemies if they get too close. each gun is separated from the other by at least 1 KM to avoid collateral damage by aerial bombing. The first line of defense alongside the artillery line stretches far south. Further than Majdalyah. Tanks and several APCs are to slightly further than the soldiers. They are to be camouflaged if possible with trees and bushes and await as the enemy gets closer to open fire.

Technical and Humvee squads are to be deployed from Tripoli when the Turks pass through Deir Aamar to begin hit and runs from north east.

several Sections from the retreating coastal Lebanese forces begin dispersing onto the hills and mountains and inbetween vegetation, Mainly by south and east of Deir Aamar village to begin an ambush on the passing Turks alongside civilian mobs armed with molotovs and AK-47s. Some new army recruits found there were given sniper rifles to pick off approaching soldiers.

Miniyeh and Mazeerat, However, Civilians have cooperated with the army to begin placing booby traps in the streets by string covering the roads that triggers buried IEDs. Some homes filled with artillery shells and grenades, Activated by opening the front doors. Even drawers and closets. Rugs hiding holes filled with a spiked pallet. Civilians owning the booby trapped homes are to be either escorted away or hide in basement or the local mosque.

The first houses are to begin taking potshots at the Turks to agitate them and force them to begin clearing houses.

En Nabi Rihaniyye: Each with 3 companies of paramilitaries armed with recoilless rifles and motorized by up-armored humvees. Orchestrated attack to begin as civilians distract oncoming enemy forces with a protest mob.

Central villages/Towns (Bousit, Terbol and Markabta): As important strategic positions due to its highly elevated terrain, Several AA guns will be deployed accompanied by Machine guns nests. Covered by 2 Battalions in each village. Squads of snipers will be stationed on the highest points to put pressure on soldiers that may march into the villages.

Recoilless rifle squads will also be spread across the villages.

Markabta's main road to the east will be designated hot zone for landmines.

To the west of Bousit, Artillery batteries are readied to begin firing if the village is penetrated.

each of the central villages has companies of Al-Muhlikun special forces hidden in the mountains tasked to flank the enemy after entering the villages.

Hilane Aazqey and beit dawuod: A regiment of special operations will begin reinforcing the central villages from Hilane. Aazqey is lined up with a few dozen artillery. Palace of dreams is to be secured and used as a supply point and to be used as a reinforcement center, Holding Several brigades and vehicles.

Beit Dawuod sees companies marching forward to assist Hilane special forces.

If the Lebanese forces are to retreat from the central villages, Booby traps will have been set up.

Safinet Al Qaytaa/Saysouq: towed artillery and mortar units on top of the elevated terrain followed up by 2 Divisions, Splitting up when the artillery begins firing to start hammering pressure from the west and the east. Saysouq is to have only some squads of mobile artillery, With only some squads of paramilitaries as well. Villagers will be using homemade molotovs and IEDs for mass attacks on the Turks, Tribes formed and were authorized to use RPGs and grenades as they use their Toyotas for guerilla tactics. (Roads leading up to these areas will be layered in IEDs/Landmines)

Civilian cars left on isolated roads leading up to villages with crates of munitions and MREs in the trunks or the seats to attract unsuspecting enemy soldiers and explode when the items are moved.

Mar Touma and Aarqa: Aarqa brigades will secure it's position with a handful of T-54 tanks and Bradleys to reinforce and protect Mar Touma as artillery will attempt to ravage incoming enemy forces to buy more time for Special operations from Halba to move up south west to attack from another angle to force the enemy to engage 3 fronts. After that all units will begin to push back the Turks to the coast, Supported by mobile artillery and sniper fire.

Danbo: Regiments of spec ops will leave platoons inside Halba and Danbo, Rest of the Danbo spec ops will try to engage in Safinet Al Qaytaa and Saysouq for flanking.

Khaled Al-Asad records a video to be broadcasted by the coastal towns and villages on TVs and radios for the Turkish soldiers: "Our quarrel is not with you. Our quarrel is with Erdogan. The man that has sent you to your death just to satisfy his hunger for expansion. We do not wish harm upon you but if we must to defend our land, We will not hesitate by a second. I advise that you think thoroughly before deciding to aim your gun at a Lebanese. We will strike back harder than you ever will."

Khaled also notifies the military of instructions on the handling of any POWs: "I hope each and every one of you remembers the examples of mercy from the prophets Isa ibn mariam and Mohammed Peace be upon him. If an enemy is to be captured, Treat him with dignity. Provide them food, water and medical aid as necessary. Torture will NOT be tolerated for as long as they are willing to cooperate for their eventual freedom. I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking. I also call on you not to hate the people of Turkey. You should know that among the aggressors, there are people who support your struggle against the invaders."

Private Office of the Grand Emir

Sitting at his desk but looking outside the window facing the Arabian Gulf, the Grand Emir Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I seemed rather content with recent developments within the USAN. Amid releasing Somaliland and bringing all personnel, weaponry, businesses, and investments back into the USAN whilst achieving a mutual partnership with the EU and preliminary discussions of a Free Trade Agreement with Israel, the Grand Emir appeared to be satisfied. After a few moments, the private line to his office would ring. Letting it ring three times, the Grand Emir would pick up the phone and speak:

[sub]Statement by Kantei on Lebanese Refugees.[/sub]

[pre]Given the current situation with Turkey's attacks on Lebanon, this has triggered a refugee crisis, with several Lebanese citizens having to leave their homeland because of the Turkish army. The Empire of Japan announces that it will send a humanitarian aid team through the Japanese Red Cross, with a clear objective, which will be to provide food and medical assistance to the Lebanese citizens who ended up harming themselves with the Turkish attack. The Japanese Red Cross will also provide temporary shelters in Lebanon for homeless citizens.

トルコによるレバノンへの攻撃の現状を考えると、これは難民危機を引き起こし、トルコ軍のために数人のレバノン市民が故郷を離れなければなりませんでした。 大日本帝国は、トルコの攻撃で自分たちを傷つけたレバノン市民に食糧と医療援助を提供するという明確な目的を持って、日本赤十字を通じて人道援助チームを派遣すると発表しました。 日本赤十字社はまた、ホームレス市民のためにレバノンに一時的な避難所を提供します

نظرًا للوضع الحالي مع الهجمات التركية على لبنان ، فقد تسبب ذلك في أزمة لاجئين ، حيث اضطر العديد من المواطنين اللبنانيين إلى مغادرة وطنهم بسبب الجيش التركي. أعلنت إمبراطورية اليابان أنها سترسل فريق مساعدات إنسانية عبر الصليب الأحمر الياباني ، بهدف واضح يتمثل في تقديم المساعدات الغذائية والطبية للمواطنين اللبنانيين الذين انتهى بهم الأمر بإيذاء أنفسهم بالهجوم التركي. كما سيوفر الصليب الأحمر الياباني ملاجئ مؤقتة في لبنان للمواطنين المشردين[/pre]

Shortly after the brutal Turkish bombardment on the city of Tripoli, Several news stations begin covering the casualties as one reporter has stated:

"Reporting live from the perimeter of Tripoli, Hundreds and hundreds of civilians are being transported away from the city through military vans and ambulances.Trucks carrying dozens of corpses, Many of them children as young as 5 have disfigured and mutilated due to their homes collapsing from the aerial bombings. *A civilian, Bloodied and covered in dirt and dust, approaches the reporter* "We were just having a family dinner. Me, my wife and my little girl. It all happened so fast. We heard a loud noise and the roof began to collapse as we tried to get away... Our house has completely collapsed... And then I saw my wife and my little girl laying below the rubble...Aya..My little girl's head had been crushed by the falling ceiling...Where is the humanity!? What have we done to deserve this!? SAVE US FROM THESE SAVAGES!"

_________________________________________________

Khaled Al-Asad from presidential palace: "These past few days have been the darkest days for the Lebanese people. Erdogan has shown that he has no spine nor does he have any honor. His greed for wealth, Power and Land is never satiated. He will do everything in his power for these things....But I do not think the Turks understand what they have just unleashed upon themselves. They have cursed themselves by harming our people and stepping on our sovereign soil. He is hoping that with all the chaos that is happening a civil war would be unchained. My brothers and sisters... Muslims and the Christians alike, We may have different beliefs or different religions... But what unites us both is God. And as it is mentioned in both holy books that we must stand up against bullies. We must stand up against oppressors of the people. For we will be tasked to give them agonizing punishment.... the Locusts in our gardenÂ… You see theyÂ’ve come for us... TheyÂ’ve come to destroy all that weÂ’ve built! We knew this moment would come. We have prepared for it...They want to take our pride, Take our freedom. Take our faith. We will not let them. We will not let their greed, or their immorality, or their depravity hurt us anymore! There will be no more suffering!".

THE TRIAL BEGINS

https://youtu.be/76hlxowjkr0

MAP DETAILING CHANGES : https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1Y8Yb1rmt7nD9tLHuIRhr3YAnlaQU_gw5&usp=sharing

Retreating southwards, the Lebanese Armed Forces has given the Turkish Assault the ground it requires to set up its next phase of the Offensive, which would make use of an alternate shock and awe type strategy developed for utilization with the Turkish Armies extremely long Ranged (Artillery+Missile) Arsenal. The Forces of the General Offensive would provide the Artillery for said attack, having been issued a truly huge number of Artillery pieces along with the large-scale MLRS forces available to Turkey. Lebanon, opting for a pre-century approach on defense, that being static bunkers/pillboxes rather than a fluid and actively attacking frontline has made itself the prime and ideal target for this Turkish strategy. Even believing themselves able to adopt a guerilla type of warfare was laughable to the Turkish High Command which already had received word of the eagre nature of the Lebanese People. This strategy would not discriminate, however. The safest way to advance is to do so behind a constantly shifting wall of fire which will sweep southwards and cover all of Lebanon through time. One massive creeping barrage slowly clearing the land of mines, defenders and hopefully anything in the open which may be able to cause damage.

Now on the Beaches, however, and with the Turkish Navy shelling anything even resembling a defendable position, it is up to the Turkish Marines and the continuously flowing Army to move inland and seize more land on which an area of control can be created.

Raining Steel and Shrapnell

With the Lebanese Air Force mostly knocked out, and a shield of anti-radiation missiles laid down over the northern half of Lebanon, the Turkish Air Force shall get to work bombing and strafing Targets of both military and infrastructural natures in order to slowly but surely sap away at the will of the Lebanese to fight or at the very least kill them in the process. Turkeys three UCAV classes (Bayraktar TB2 & TAI Aksungur & Bayraktar Akıncı) will form a formidable team, dropping ordinance deep behind enemy lines without risk of losing pilots, and most importantly being able to do so more accurately than ever before thanks to the ability of the Bayraktar Akıncı to launch precision Cruise missiles.

[list][list][pre]| The Paramerican Intervention - التدخل الأمريكي |[/pre][/list][/list]

| October 2024 saw the strikes on Cairo by USP forces light up the sky and the minds of the Egyptian people on what the ideologies of Socialism and Secularism has brought onto their people. The Socialists and secularists have brought Egypt to its knees as the world condemned and watched on as the Ancient Cities of Egypt were blasted by western missiles. The Socialist insurgents left over after the Paramerican occupation force arrived and most of the armed forces reliquensed control over to their Paramericans as a hatred for the el-Azad regime had been brewing under the nose of the now deposed General. Socialists fought in the streets for many months against Western forces in Cairo and Alexandria but quickly dissolved as they lost the will of the people. The Paramericans quickly brought back the old government of Egypt, one still filled with Secularism and corruption. Sisi came back not too open arms and chants but to apathy and discontent. |

[list][list][pre]| Secularism = Socialism the death of both - العلمانية = الاشتراكية موت كليهما |[/pre][/list][/list]

| As Sisi came back into power and the old corruption returned, the religious sect of society reacted radically with the Islamists having heavy protests across the nation from Cairo to Aswan. At the start they only campaigned for new elections to be held and for the Socialists to be barred from participating. Sisi quickly saw the rising tide of Islamist thought and the use of peaceful force by the Islamists as during these protests and what some would call riots the Islamists would force their ways into government buildings and police stations. This culminated in the January 20th Cairo Riot where tens of thousands of Islamists took control of government offices in a show of force to the Sisi government. During these riots thousands of weapons were reported as stolen from the Egyptian security forces. This resulted in a promise by Sisi that any attempt of insurrection by Islamist factions will be met by the fullest force by Egyptian Security Forces and in the arrest of 15 leaders of the Riots all sentenced to life sentences for Treason. |

[list][list][pre]| Rise of Ahmed El-Tayeb - سباق احمد الطيب |[/pre][/list][/list]

| The Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmed El-Tayeb watched as Socialism-Secularism ravaged the once strong nation of Misr/Egypt, He personally watched as the rockets smashed into Cairo from the Al-Azhar Mosque and he sheltered victims in his home and mosque while doing so preaching to them the true cause of this destruction “Secularism”. During the Paramerican Occupation he was at the forefront of the Opposition to Sisi putting him in very hot water with the current government with near constant surveillance of El-Tayeb and raids of his home in search of weapons. After the arrest of many Islamists revolutionaries after the Cairo Riots pushed Ahmed to the forefront of the Religious struggle in Egypt. Ahmed then created the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party {A party following Islamist and Pharaonism ideaologies} and began what he called “Alnidal al'akhlaqiu” The Moral Struggle. Ahmed campaigned heavily for the release of the Revolutionaries and exposing the torture on the Revolutionaries by the Secularists.|

[list][list][pre]| The Suez Canal University Massacre - مذبحة جامعة قناة السويس |

| Ahmed El-Tayeb held a rally called “The Rally of the Young Revolutionaries of the Suez” in which 25,000 Students and youth Revolutionaries from the cities of Port Said, Ismailia, and Suez. They held speeches, burned the Egyptian flag and called for the release of 100 Revolutionaries from the Egyptian prison system. Egyptian National Police quickly surrounded the rally to prevent it from growing larger with reports you could hear the chanting across Ismailia. Multiple Humvees armed with M2 Brownings under the command of the Central Security Forces. A group of Revolutionaries would begin to harass these Humvees and too the shock of the nation the Humvee gunners would open fire on the rally erupting Chaos as the unarmed revolutionaries fled for their lives. Ahmed El-Tayeb was wounded in this attack while fleeing as a Egyptian cop shot him in the back of the leg with a small caliber handgun, but Ahmeb El-Tayeb was able to narrowly escape the attack with his life and he was taken and treated by local doctors loyal to the Revolutionaries. |

| After the tragedy of Ismailia which left 289 Egyptian youth lying in a pool of blood on the lawn and streets of the Suez Canal University and no arrests or firing of anyone who fired a shot on the unarmed Revolutionaires. On November first a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party called for:

-Instant release of the 100 Egyptian Revolutionaries tried for treason

-Resignation of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from presidency

-The creation of a new Egyptian Constitution to prevent Socialism from ever taken hold of the nation

-The trail of those responsible for the Suez Canal University Massacre

The Forces of the Revolution began to arm themselves to enforce the demands of the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party. Armed with Rifles stolen from the military and the police they would begin to march through Cairo spouting their demands and calling for the Police and Military to aid the people in the Holy revolution to save Egypt and bring a new era of prosperity. Similar revolts were started across major cities in Egypt and multiple military Generals on television announced their support for the revolutionaries and for Ahmed El-Tayeb to write the new constitution of Egypt. The Southern Military region, Western Military region, Third Field army, and the Second Third army all announced their support for Ahmed El-Tayeb. The march would convene onto the Heliopolis Palace, the residence of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. As they marched through the metropolis of Cairo crowds cheered as the armed men and women convinced the police and military troops to join the march while Ahmed El-Tayeb stood at the front setting the pace with his injured leg and walking with a cane. They called for the end of Secularism which has done nothing but brought the Egyptian people farther from Allah. As they reached the palace the Presidential Guard readied themselves to hold their ground and protect the President. Soon the buildings around the palace were occupied by the armed revolutionaries with all their guns aimed at the palace windows. Close to the palace a massive prison break occurred in the Al-Aqrab Prison home to the 100 who soon came to the aid of the revolution with Mohammed Badie the former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood which has no disolved and fell into the arms of the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party. Ahmed El-Tayeb and Mohammed Badie stood outside the Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz Mosque warning the news network that if the demands are not met that civil war is inevitable and the strong pious Muslims will win in this future war. As they chanted and surrounded the President's palace the guards were told by the Military command still loyal to Sisi not to fire as it would spark a civil war most definitely. 12 hours passed until President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi made a televised announcement of his official resignation from the presidency. After this announcement Revolutionaries stormed the grounds and quickly broke into the palace and captured the former President and his family without firing a single shot throughout the Holy Nufambir Revolution. |

The Socialist insurgents left over after the Paramerican occupation force arrived and most of the armed forces reliquensed control over to their Paramericans as a hatred for the el-Azad regime had been brewing under the nose of the now deposed General. Socialists fought in the streets for many months against Western forces in Cairo and Alexandria but quickly dissolved as they lost the will of the people.

| As Sisi came back into power and the old corruption returned, the religious sect of society reacted radically with the Islamists having heavy protests across the nation from Cairo to Aswan. At the start they only campaigned for new elections to be held and for the Socialists to be barred from participating. Sisi quickly saw the rising tide of Islamist thought and the use of peaceful force by the Islamists as during these protests and what some would call riots the Islamists would force their ways into government buildings and police stations. This culminated in the January 20th Cairo Riot where tens of thousands of Islamists took control of government offices in a show of force to the Sisi government. During these riots thousands of weapons were reported as stolen from the Egyptian security forces. This resulted in a promise by Sisi that any attempt of insurrection by Islamist factions will be met by the fullest force by Egyptian Security Forces and in the arrest of 15 leaders of the Riots all sentenced to life sentences for Treason. |[/sub]

The Southern Military region, Western Military region, Third Field army, and the Second Third army all announced their support for Ahmed El-Tayeb.

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا | All praise is due to Allah, We worship Him, We seek His help and His forgiveness, and we turn to Him in repentance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our ill deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah can not be led astray, and whoever goes astray cannot be guided. Understanding the new events in Egypt and the removal of socialism from Cairo with Islam returning to the center of policy and direction, the Union-State of Arab Nations hereby declare as the first nation to formally recognize the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt and its government. The degeneracy of Socialism has no place in the new Middle East; therefore, it is essential for the USAN and the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt under the governance of Supreme Leader of the Righteous Revolution Ahmed El-Tayeb to seek communication, collaboration, and coordination for the sake of development, prosperity, and productivity. The USAN sees ample opportunities of partnership to preserve the tenets of Islam and proper development of the Arab and Muslim Worlds. It is with this optimism, the USAN opens friendship and support to Cairo as the Egyptian people have begun a new chapter in their historical development as a civilization state. | [/sub]

THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF JAPAN | 外務省

[sub]Official Declaration of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.[/sub]

[pre]Since mid-2024, Egypt has been under the leadership of socialism, being responsible for destabilizing the country by overthrowing Egyptian democracy and the Al-Sisi Administration. After that, the so-called "Socialist Republic of Egypt" was condemned by several countries, including Washington D.C. and Tokyo. The Empire of Japan, since 2024, has kept relations with Cairo under pressure, but now that will change. The establishment of the new Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt will indeed be the key to re-establishing Tokyo's relations with Cairo and ending the tensions that the Empire of Japan imposed when Egypt was under socialism. The Japanese Embassy in Cairo will reopen, the Egyptian Administration may do the same in Tokyo, given the re-establishment of Japan-Egypt relations.

2024年半ば以来、エジプトは社会主義のリーダーシップの下にあり、エジプトの民主主義とアルシシ政権を打倒することによって国を不安定化させる責任があります。 その後、いわゆる「エジプト社会主義共和国」は、ワシントンD.C.や東京を含むいくつかの国から非難されました。 大日本帝国は2024年以来、カイロとの関係を圧迫してきましたが、今はそれが変わるでしょう。 新しいエジプトのアッバシャ共和国の設立は、東京とカイロの関係を再構築し、エジプトが社会主義下にあったときに日本帝国が課した緊張を終わらせるための鍵となるでしょう。 カイロの日本大使館が再開され、日エジプト関係の再構築を考えると、エジプト政府は東京でも同じことをする可能性があります

منذ منتصف عام 2024 ، كانت مصر تحت قيادة الاشتراكية ، فهي مسؤولة عن زعزعة استقرار البلاد من خلال الإطاحة بالديمقراطية المصرية وإدارة السيسي. بعد ذلك ، تم إدانة ما يسمى بـ "جمهورية مصر الاشتراكية" من قبل عدة دول ، بما في ذلك واشنطن العاصمة وطوكيو. أبقت إمبراطورية اليابان ، منذ عام 2024 ، على العلاقات مع القاهرة تحت الضغط ، لكن هذا سيتغير الآن. إن إنشاء جمهورية مصر العباسية الجديدة سيكون بالفعل المفتاح لإعادة علاقات طوكيو مع القاهرة وإنهاء التوترات التي فرضتها إمبراطورية اليابان عندما كانت مصر تحت الاشتراكية. إعادة فتح السفارة اليابانية بالقاهرة ، وقد تفعل الإدارة المصرية الشيء نفسه في طوكيو ، بالنظر إلى إعادة العلاقات اليابانية المصرية.[/pre]

[sub]LESTER B. PEARSON BUILDING - 125 SUSSEX DRIVE[/sub]

| The Turkish attack on the city of Tripoli in Lebanon would cause thousands of casualties and leave thousands more without homes. Canada is extremely disconnected from the region in question. Despite this fact, Canadians, enraged and eager for answers, would pressure officials online and in the streets to take action and offer help to the refugees. The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs Leslyn Lewis would address the issues during a press conference in Ottawa. Her finishing remarks would be taken as vague and unsatisfactory by many nationals. This would only further contribute to the Conservative Party's lowered approval ratings, a larger movement showcasing Canada's deteriorating trust in the Scheer Administration. This conflict would be the final straw in multiple, violent worldwide events moving Canada to DEFCON 4. |

[list]| [sub]Hon. LESLYN LEWIS, Minister of Foreign Affairs[/sub] | “Turkey's shocking attack on Tripoli is a disgrace to the international community. Canada will take proper measures in accordance with our NATO allies to ensure those responsible are brought to justice. As for the oncoming refugee crisis, Canada will still follow the Refugee and Humanitarian Resettlement Program in cooperation with the United Nations' decisions. We will be accepting only UN-selected displaced families and individuals into the country at this time. The number of refugees allowed will be in the hands of the UN Refugee Agency alone, which is out of the control of domestic policymakers.”[/list]

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | As the fiscal year of 2025 comes to a close we reflect on the Vth Republic's current stance on global foreign affairs. The year has brought much to France and it's allies and partners abroad with increased cooperation across the Middle East and Africa. It has also brought much strife with the illegal occupation of Finnmark (Yarosluv) by Finland (Amsterwald) and Turkey's (Ranponian) unproportional and unsanctioned response to Lebanon (Islahh). Both events have been heavily condemned by the European Union and NATO. Paris remains confident that it's allies will act unilaterally on both crisis' while elevating our military response status to DEFCON 2 as we await reports from EU inspectors on the issue of the Lebanon crisis. Meanwhile with the rise of the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt (Osivoii), we can finally hope to restore bountiful relations with the Egyptians once again. France also hopes to expand relations with the growing Emirate of Sahelia (Sahelia Bomoko) in the coming fiscal year of 2026. A growing list of national security threats has seen France deploy a number of strategic assets alongside our allies to locations all over the globe within the last 2 years. An uptick in global crisis' and conflicts is much to blame. Regardless of where the world finds itself, the Vth Republic remains loyal to it's partners and allies while hoping to further investments and assist developing nations to achieve new goals. | [/sub]

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Prime Minister Torres establishes new ministries, new healthcare reform program, to oversee rapid healthcare industry transformation in Equatorial Guinea

| With the goal of turning the area into the 'Singapore of Africa', the Spanish government under the centrist progressive Torres administration (2024-) has set out on what many claim will become its shining achievement: The rapid transformation of Equatorial Guinea's healthcare industry from one of the worst to one of the best in the world. Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres has announced the establishment of over three new government ministries and local government departments under the Equatorial Guinean Ministry of Healthcare, as well as the pouring of billions of dollars into the construction of new thousand-bed hospitals and the upheaval of the current healthcare system in place. Shockingly, the Prime Minister's healthcare reform bill for Equatorial Guinea, a massive thousand-page piece of legislation aimed at modernizing and increasing the efficacy of Equatorial Guinea's healthcare system over the next ten years, has received strong support from the left-wing PSOE party, led by Deputy Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and from the liberal progressive People's Party (PP). |

| The current status of healthcare in Equatorial Guinea is, to put it short, absolutely abysmal. In 2004, there were an estimated 25 physicians, 40 nurses, 1 dentist, 1 pharmacist, and 2 midwives per 100,000 people. The average life expectancy in the country as of 2018 for males was 63.8 years and 66.2 years for females, for a total life expectancy of 65 years. In a country of over a million people, only 47 medical facilities, including seven regional hospitals, eleven district hospitals, and 29 health centers exist. The most major health problems in the country are preventable diseases, such as malaria, parasitic diseases, upper respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, and complications of pregnancy. In the continental zone, or the Rio Muni region of the country - which is situated on the African mainland, sickle cell anaemia is common. From 1991 to 1994, only approximately 61 percent of the country's children were immunized against measles. |

| The Equatorial Guinean Healthcare Reform Act of 2025, proposed by Prime Minister Augustina Torres in conjunction with the Spanish Ministry of Health, bases its thousand-page report on the state of Equatorial Guinean healthcare and the administration's proposed method of increasing its efficacy on the current healthcare system of Singapore. Among the major points of the proposed legislation is the establishment of a mixed financing system that includes nationalized life insurance schemes and deductions from the compulsory savings plan, the establishment of a Central Committee for Healthcare Reform, the National Healthcare Service of Equatorial Guinea, and the Central Insurance Fund of Equatorial Guinea. These three new ministries and committees will serve as the indestructible backbone of the EG Healthcare Reform Act of 2025. |

| The Central Committee for Healthcare Reform is the main governing body of the ten-year healthcare reform program that will be introduced by the Spanish government in Madrid to the Spanish Autonomous Department of Equatorial Guinea. The Central Committee will compose of government officials from the mainland, healthcare and finance experts who are the best in their field, and representatives from Equatorial Guinea's autonomous local government. Acting mainly as temporary oversight committee to ensure that the ten-year healthcare reform program goes smoothly, the Central Committee for Healthcare Reform maintains significant oversight and management capabilities over the local Ministry of Healthcare and the other EG healthcare institutions established by the reform act. The Committee's job is to ensure that the reform process moves smoothly and encounters no issues such as the siphoning of funds allocated to the reform program by national, state, and local officials. |

| The National Healthcare Service of Equatorial Guinea, or NHCS for short, will serve as the united administrative policymaking and decision-making body for all government-run healthcare institutions, hospitals, and clinics within the Spanish Autonomous Department of Equatorial Guinea. All government-run or government-funded healthcare institutions are required to be an active participant within the Service, which has the mandate of (1) planning and executing a long-term healthcare quota and goal for the department, which aims to increase self-sustainability and the overall health status of the population and (2) creating and becoming the unified joint administrative body for all government-run health institutions, through which all government funding for the healthcare sector passes through. The NHCS will also be responsible for coordinating joint movements and maneuvers, may it be physical or diplomatic, between the local Equatorial Guinean Ministry of Healthcare, the Central Committee for Healthcare Reform, and the Central Insurance Fund of Equatorial Guinea, the latter of which is involved in the mixed financing system relating to the methods utilized by Equatorial Guinean citizens to pay for their healthcare. |

| The Central Insurance Fund of Equatorial Guinea, usually known as either the CIF or Central Insurance, is a compulsory comprehensive savings and pension plan for working Equatorial Guineans and permanent Equatorial Guinean residents primarily dedicated to funding their healthcare needs. However, there are plans to increase and expand the scope of the CIF to include residents' retirement and housing needs. The CIF is an employment-based savings scheme with the help of employers and employees contributing a mandated amount to the fund for their benefits. Every single permanent resident living in the Spanish Autonomous Department of Equatorial Guinea are required by law to register under the CIF, which creates for each registered individual an 'EspanaSave' national medical savings account, run and controlled in whole by the Central Insurance Fund. As mandated by Spanish law, all Equatorial Guinean employees contribute between 6% and 9% of their salary to a personal EspanaSave account. These savings can then be withdrawn from the CIF to pay the hospital bills of the account holder and his or her immediate family members. The second branch of the CIF is the Economic Assistance Fund, or the EAF. This fund receives an estimated $950 million dollars annually in terms of funding, and is responsible for offsetting the losses generated by the mandatory contribution imposed upon all Equatorial Guineans by the CIF and the subordinate EspanaSave national medical savings account system. Depending on each individuals economic status and how 'well-off' they are in life, the EAF issues 'compensation checks' worth between $100 and $250 every three months. |

| These departments and services will serve as the main backbone of the ten-year healthcare reform program that will take place in Equatorial Guinea. Other nations have resorted to making healthcare free for all, thus reducing the capacity, efficacy, and quality of the healthcare in that country. It is in Spain's belief and best interests that instead of making healthcare free for all, the Spanish Government should immediately move to economically support those who are in need of dire healthcare assistance. However, it is to be noted that the new reform program, which encompasses and essentially relies on the CIF's EspanaSave system, is available to all Equatorial Guineans, regardless of creed, color, race, or religion. |

[list]NEW YEARS' EVE 2025[/list]

[list]Background music here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lMlGDZ5xBo[/list]

| Fireworks boomed in the background, their colors splashing all over the dark skies of Madrid as AULD LANG SYNE played from a stereo speaker in the living room of the Zarzuela Palace. FORMER QUEEN LETIZIA, the wife of FELIPE VI and the mother of QUEEN LEONOR OF SPAIN, rested her head on her husband's lap while her youngest daughter, PRINCESS SOFIA, hummed quietly to the song playing in the background. The time was 11:46PM local time, on the 31st of December 2025 . . . A few minutes later, HER MAJESTY QUEEN LEONOR would enter the living room, having come from the kitchen in the next room. |

[list]| LEONOR, Queen of Spain | [sub]". . . Mama, Papa, are you free right now? I've got something for the both of you."[/sub] [/list]

| FELIPE and LETIZIA, rather surprised by the question, would quickly straighten themselves on the couch they sat on. The former queen would fix up her hair and position herself on the couch, next to her husband. PRINCESS SOFIA would look up at her older sister and stop humming. The background music would continue playing softly in the background. The time was now 11:51PM local time. |

[list]| FELIPE, Former King of Spain | [sub]"Oh, uh, yes of course sweetheart. What is it?"[/sub] [/list]

| LEONOR would shuffle back to the kitchen and pick up and envelope, sealed with the red family seal, before proceeding back to the living room and handing it to her parents. LETIZIA, sitting closer to her eldest daughter, would receive the envelope first and would open it. The former queen then began reading it out loud in front of the whole family. |

[list][list][sub]"Dear Mama and Papa, and to little Sofia as well. Another year has passed and another awaits. This year has been filled with many events, both good and bad, from Papa's stay in the hospital in January to my coronation as Queen in February. I write this letter to you, and to my sister as well, to remind you all that although I have ascended to the position you have been preparing me my whole life for, I continue to love and care for you as I did before, and ever since I was born. I am truly and eternally grateful that the Lord gave me to this family, one who has cared and loved me with all their hearts. I may have a different title within this family now compared to when the year started, but I continue to love you all the same. It is in my best hopes and wishes that next year brings great fruit for the four of us, and I look forward to experiencing what is to come together."[/sub][/list][/list]

| Silence. Both LETIZIA and FELIPE have tears in their eyes as Auld Lang Syne continues playing softly in the background. The family moves forward for a group hug, which lasts several seconds. LEONOR would then turn to her sister. |

[list]| LEONOR, Queen of Spain | [sub]"And this is for you, little sis."[/sub] [/list]

| LEONOR would hand her sister a small, phone-sized box wrapped in a plain blue gift wrapping with a gold bow tie on top. SOFIA would smile before receiving the gift from her older sister. Inside lay a small locket, obviously legitimate gold, with the words 'UNITED AND EQUAL, FOREVER' engraved onto it. |

[list]| SOFIA, Crown Princess of Spain | [sub]"What is it?"[/sub] [/list]

[list]| LEONOR, Queen of Spain | [sub]"It's a reminder that we'll always be united and equal, forever, no matter where we are and when in time we are. In my eyes, we'll always be equal, sis."[/sub] [/list]

| The two would hug while their parents watched with pride filling their hearts. Moments later, the soft hymn of Auld Lang Syne, still playing in the background, would get louder as a massive barrage of fireworks exploded outside. The royal family of the Kingdom of Spain would get up from their couch and go onto their balcony, where fireworks spelling '2026' could be seen exploding in the distance. A new year awaits Spain and the world. |

KARVONEN HOPES TO MEND INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION, SEEK NEW PARTNERSHIPS

[list][sup]BLOODLESS, BUT NOT BLAMELESS

FINLAND—WINTER 2025–26[/sup][/list]

New Year's Day saw a new tide of rhetoric from Finnish President Alvi Karvonen, the 55-year-old author and right-wing statesman who had spent the last several months solidifying his legitimacy following the tragic death of his predecessor in September 2025. Now, with 2026 freshly ahead of him, Karvonen looked to push past the waves of international condemnation that had overwhelmed the Republic of Finland in response to his administration's bloodless occupation of Norse Finnmark following flimsy reports of cultural erasure there. "Seventeen towns were liberated," Karvonen explained wistfully in his New Year's Day address; "this government understands the infractions it committed against the normal conventions of territorial reorganization, but it also strongly affirms the necessity of quick action in the defense of the innocent," he pleaded near its close. Such attempts to justify the occupation had been largely dismissed by foreign leaders—no nations had yet taken Finland's side in the crisis, and only a precious few avoided condemning it—but those statements saw nearly universal support from the Finnish populace, the latent nationalism of which had been firmly captivated by Karvonen's stellar rise to power.

Karvonen's Foreign Ministry, still deeply intent on repairing Finland's international reputation, invited world leaders to plan state visits to Finland, offering lavish quartering and channels of communication to every corner of the Finnish government during their visits. The Finance Ministry optimistically reported on New Year's Day that it had been engaged in diligent cooperation with the economic authorities of Russia (Victoria Harbor), Turkey (Ranponian), and the Galla (Mesuvia) after it announced its aims to reorganize Finnish exports following the placement of economic sanctions on Finland by several Western countries, including France and Japan. Economic analysts still unwaveringly predict a clear loss of markets for Finnish export firms, and plans to confront that continuing obstacle are said to be currently in development by the Ministry. The government has nonetheless been forced to review several contingency plans as prospective military expenditures continue to rise and the Finnish economy promises to shrink at the slightest disturbance.

But before departing on a diplomatic mission to Moscow, Prime Minister Suga met with Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi and Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Katō, and a press conference was called to give more details about the trip.”[/list]

| IMAGE: In Kantei Press Conference Room, Prime Minister Suga would be on the podium answering questions from journalists, and the Foreign Minister and Chief Cabinet Secretary were seated in their chairs, right behind Suga. |

[list]| [sub]Narrator[/sub] | “After the press conference ends, the next image would show Prime Minister Suga already at Tokyo International [Haneda] Airport. Also joining this trip to Moscow was the Russian Ambassador to Japan, Mr. Mikhail Galuzin, who was with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Motegi. Along with the Russian Ambassador, two more Russian diplomats came with Mr. Galuzin. A fluent Japanese interpreter who spoke Russian was also aboard the Japanese Air Force, precisely to help Prime Minister Suga communicate with the Russian Ambassador and the President of the Russian Federation.”[/list]

| IMAGE: The Japanese Air Force One, a Japanese government plane that has already carried out several state visits around the world, would be stopped on the runway awaiting the boarding of the entire Japanese Delegation and the Prime Minister. The last to board were the Russian Ambassador and the two Russian diplomats, who waved to the press. |

[list]| [sub]Narrator[/sub] | “I hope that my second official visit will further strengthen relations with Moscow, Suga told Minister Motegi. The Prime Minister called Russia ‘Eurasia's great ally’.”[/list]

[list][list][list][pre]Naftali BennettÂ’s coalition didnÂ’t last until the spring of 2022. Only the fear of LukidÂ’s return, still steadfast to its leader kept the succession of Prime Ministers and snap elections resorting to successive Prime Ministerships of Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz.

With Paramerican intervention into Egypt last fall, on the eve of their elections; a post 9/11 spectre hung over the Jewish State arose from Lebanonese migrants — to the Abbasīyah Republic.[/pre][/list][/list][/list]

[sup]OVER SCENE ENTIRE.[/sup][/list][/list]

| He had been lost in the wilderness, and on the verge of a prison sentence over corruption charges. Nonetheless, Lukid; as it historical had done, remained loyal to its party leader. The worries of the Jewish Nation and her People, about her borders and vital security needs were the main topics of the November election. Protestors on the streets of Tel Aviv, hoping to avoid the potential inevitable clashed with youths of the opposite candor. |

[list]”!המלך ביבי, המלך הביבי, המלך הביבי”[/list]

| The major Israeli networks’ — 11|KD, i24, Channels 12 & 13 — projected exit polls had a clear majority, and the election mandate couldn’t be clearer. There was a sense of jubilation at Lukid’s party headquarters. Within the week, a former rival and left-winged current head of state, Israel’s president, Isaac Herzog — would have to ask him to form a governing coalition government. Across the Atlantic, reactions among the Jewish-Paramerican community were mixed, the New York Times would no doubt run articles advising the Biden Administration to remain steadfast. Previous liberal White Houses’ from John Kerry to Barack Obama have heavily disagreed with this man’s approach. |

[list]”!המלך ביבי, המלך הביבי, המלך הביבי”[/list]

| But for now, the 6’0 Israeli man dressed in the navy suit with silk blue tie waited at the wings of the stage. He’s 76 now, and after answering a few donor calls, from Jewish-Paramerican donors and friends, who despite the time difference made the effort to reach out — and handshakes from Israeli billionaires and Lukid staff, he was ready to address the crowd of supporters. So he stepped out, onto the stage, waving to the crowd of Israeli flag waving supporters, and towards the national broadcasting cameras. |

[list]| [sub]BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Lukid Party Leader[/sub] | “Shalom! . . . SHALOM! Israel stands ready to defend her people! Israel stands in the face of global terror—”[/list]

| NETANYAHU spoke in Hebrew, uncommonly while speaking english, the Israeli leaderÂ’s voice was stuffy yet deep. He adjusted the microphones before the jubilinate right-winged crowd. |

[list]| [sub]BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Lukid Party Leader[/sub] | “—Nothing could be more important, now more than ever, to have an Israeli government that will protect her people from the threats at our borders. The plight of extreme terror, of instability and zealots from Cairo will not deter the vital interests of the Jewish people . . . I alone can keep you safe.”[/list]

| The CROWD of Lukid voters builds, applauding, as the soon-to-be restored Prime Minister continues. |

[list]| [sub]BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, Lukid Party Leader[/sub] | “And I will. There can be no greater calling than the protection of the Jewish nation—”[/list]

EXT./INT. JERUSALEM, Israelli — MORNING

[sub]Rehavia Neighborhood[/sub]

| Situated in the upscale Jerusalem neighborhood of Rehavia, on 9 Smolenskin Street, the street corner of Balfour Street was Beit Aghion, also known as Beit Rosh HaMemshala — the official residency of the Prime Minister . . . Into the week, the Israeli President did as was mandated by the constitution, and asked Benjamin Netanyahu to form a government with Lukid’s coalition parties. By 2025, Israeli politics had shifted even more to the right. The Palestinian crisis, much to the dismay of Western liberals, had faded into obscurity in the minds of Israeli citizens, the concept of ‘peace’ and a two-state solution remained elusive. Beyond clashes in East Jerusalem or the ever-expanding settlement population, Israeli citizens shifted their attention to the schisms between secular Jews and ultra-religious fervor amid the growing birth rates. |

| The motorcade of black SUVs transported now, Prime Minister BENJAMIN NETANYAHU, once lost in the wilderness — from Beit Aghion to the Kennest, Israel’s seat of legislative power for the opening session, and his first address as returning Prime Minister. |

The turn-out was big, although that may have been due to the fact that free food was promised to those who showed up to the event, plus a few bribes here and there. Despite the supposed landslide victory, many amongst the independent press have alleged voter fraud and rumors of vote buying by the President's party, the Union for Democracy and Social Progress. But such allegations have been denied by state media, and the President has refrained from commenting on the situation. The overall energy of the rally was lukewarm at best, not helping was the President's lack of charisma with his speech or the ongoing regional conflicts that have displaced millions of Congolese from their homes. The people were not amused by the inauguration speech or the bad food.

[pre]Compatriotes de notre République Démocratique du Congo! C'est un plaisir et un privilège en tant que votre président de vous servir une fois de plus. Comme je le portais à l'origine en 2019, mon administration travaillera dur pour résoudre les nombreux maux qui affligent notre nation! Pauvreté, guerre, et absence générale de mobilité sociale pour le peuple congolais... mon administration travaillera sans relâche et sans faute pour résoudre ces problèmes qui hantent cette nation depuis si longtemps. Nous tiendrons ces promesses, avec le plus grand dévouement et je travaillerai en étroite collaboration avec l'organisation GLA pour déployer une force de maintien de la paix pour aider davantage au problème de l'insurrection qui se produit dans les différentes provinces du Congo. Ces insurrections doivent cesser pour que le Congo prospère...

Compatriots of our Democratic Republic of Congo! It is a pleasure and a privilege as your President to serve you once again. As I originally swore it in 2019, my administration will work hard to address the many ailments plaguing our nation! Poverty, war, and the general lack of social mobility for the Congolese people ... my administration will work tirelessly and without fail to resolve these problems that have haunted this nation for so long. We will keep these promises with the utmost dedication, and I am working closely with the GLA organization to develop a peacekeeping force to further assist the problem of the insurgency occurring in the various provinces of the Congo. These insurgencies must end for the Congo to prosper...[/pre]

But suddenly in the middle of his speech the crowd began booing the President, the people grew tired of the speech and many in the crowd began uttering chants such as food, peace, and jobs. Everyone was tired of everything going on in the Congo, and a lukewarm speech wasn't assuring anybody of anything. Soon enough, the people went from chanting to scuffles when the Presidential Guard began trying to remove those who were chanting. President Félix Tshisekedi seeing that things were getting hectic left with his group back into the palace. Overall, not a great start to his second term.

| October 2024 saw the strikes on Cairo by USP forces light up the sky and the minds of the Egyptian people on what the ideologies of Socialism and Secularism has brought onto their people. The Socialists and secularists have brought Egypt to its knees as the world condemned and watched on as the Ancient Cities of Egypt were blasted by western missiles. The Socialist insurgents left over after the Paramerican occupation force arrived and most of the armed forces reliquensed control over to their Paramericans as a hatred for the el-Azad regime had been brewing under the nose of the now deposed General. Socialists fought in the streets for many months against Western forces in Cairo and Alexandria but quickly dissolved as they lost the will of the people. The Paramericans quickly brought back the old government of Egypt, one still filled with Secularism and corruption. Sisi came back not too open arms and chants but to apathy and discontent. |

[list][list][pre]| Secularism = Socialism the death of both - العلمانية = الاشتراكية موت كليهما |[/pre][/list][/list]

| As Sisi came back into power and the old corruption returned, the religious sect of society reacted radically with the Islamists having heavy protests across the nation from Cairo to Aswan. At the start they only campaigned for new elections to be held and for the Socialists to be barred from participating. Sisi quickly saw the rising tide of Islamist thought and the use of peaceful force by the Islamists as during these protests and what some would call riots the Islamists would force their ways into government buildings and police stations. This culminated in the January 20th Cairo Riot where tens of thousands of Islamists took control of government offices in a show of force to the Sisi government. During these riots thousands of weapons were reported as stolen from the Egyptian security forces. This resulted in a promise by Sisi that any attempt of insurrection by Islamist factions will be met by the fullest force by Egyptian Security Forces and in the arrest of 15 leaders of the Riots all sentenced to life sentences for Treason. |

| The Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmed El-Tayeb watched as Socialism-Secularism ravaged the once strong nation of Misr/Egypt, He personally watched as the rockets smashed into Cairo from the Al-Azhar Mosque and he sheltered victims in his home and mosque while doing so preaching to them the true cause of this destruction “Secularism”. During the Paramerican Occupation he was at the forefront of the Opposition to Sisi putting him in very hot water with the current government with near constant surveillance of El-Tayeb and raids of his home in search of weapons. After the arrest of many Islamists revolutionaries after the Cairo Riots pushed Ahmed to the forefront of the Religious struggle in Egypt. Ahmed then created the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party {A party following Islamist and Pharaonism ideaologies} and began what he called “Alnidal al'akhlaqiu” The Moral Struggle. Ahmed campaigned heavily for the release of the Revolutionaries and exposing the torture on the Revolutionaries by the Secularists.|

| Ahmed El-Tayeb held a rally called “The Rally of the Young Revolutionaries of the Suez” in which 25,000 Students and youth Revolutionaries from the cities of Port Said, Ismailia, and Suez. They held speeches, burned the Egyptian flag and called for the release of 100 Revolutionaries from the Egyptian prison system. Egyptian National Police quickly surrounded the rally to prevent it from growing larger with reports you could hear the chanting across Ismailia. Multiple Humvees armed with M2 Brownings under the command of the Central Security Forces. A group of Revolutionaries would begin to harass these Humvees and too the shock of the nation the Humvee gunners would open fire on the rally erupting Chaos as the unarmed revolutionaries fled for their lives. Ahmed El-Tayeb was wounded in this attack while fleeing as a Egyptian cop shot him in the back of the leg with a small caliber handgun, but Ahmeb El-Tayeb was able to narrowly escape the attack with his life and he was taken and treated by local doctors loyal to the Revolutionaries. |

| After the tragedy of Ismailia which left 289 Egyptian youth lying in a pool of blood on the lawn and streets of the Suez Canal University and no arrests or firing of anyone who fired a shot on the unarmed Revolutionaires. On November first a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party called for:

-Instant release of the 100 Egyptian Revolutionaries tried for treason

-Resignation of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from presidency

-The creation of a new Egyptian Constitution to prevent Socialism from ever taken hold of the nation

-The trail of those responsible for the Suez Canal University Massacre

The Forces of the Revolution began to arm themselves to enforce the demands of the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party. Armed with Rifles stolen from the military and the police they would begin to march through Cairo spouting their demands and calling for the Police and Military to aid the people in the Holy revolution to save Egypt and bring a new era of prosperity. Similar revolts were started across major cities in Egypt and multiple military Generals on television announced their support for the revolutionaries and for Ahmed El-Tayeb to write the new constitution of Egypt. The Southern Military region, Western Military region, Third Field army, and the Second Third army all announced their support for Ahmed El-Tayeb. The march would convene onto the Heliopolis Palace, the residence of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. As they marched through the metropolis of Cairo crowds cheered as the armed men and women convinced the police and military troops to join the march while Ahmed El-Tayeb stood at the front setting the pace with his injured leg and walking with a cane. They called for the end of Secularism which has done nothing but brought the Egyptian people farther from Allah. As they reached the palace the Presidential Guard readied themselves to hold their ground and protect the President. Soon the buildings around the palace were occupied by the armed revolutionaries with all their guns aimed at the palace windows. Close to the palace a massive prison break occurred in the Al-Aqrab Prison home to the 100 who soon came to the aid of the revolution with Mohammed Badie the former leader of the Muslim Brotherhood which has no disolved and fell into the arms of the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party. Ahmed El-Tayeb and Mohammed Badie stood outside the Omar Ibn Abdel Aziz Mosque warning the news network that if the demands are not met that civil war is inevitable and the strong pious Muslims will win in this future war. As they chanted and surrounded the President's palace the guards were told by the Military command still loyal to Sisi not to fire as it would spark a civil war most definitely. 12 hours passed until President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi made a televised announcement of his official resignation from the presidency. After this announcement Revolutionaries stormed the grounds and quickly broke into the palace and captured the former President and his family without firing a single shot throughout the Holy Nufambir Revolution. |

| As the glory of the Revolution lit up Egypt the streets were filled with celebrations and calls for Ahmed El-Tayeb to run the nation. He would be the one to meet this call as the Constitution of the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt was ratified and confirmed as the new constitution of Egypt. The Constitution would bring an end to the corrupt system naming Ahmed El-Tayeb as the Supreme Leader of the Righteous Revolution making him the head of state and the highest political and religious authority of the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt. He would have the power to Veto any law, put in place any law and to appoint the Prime Minister of Egypt if the one selected by the people was found to be inadequate for the position. The position of President was abolished and the House of Representatives would undertake massive reforms with it being renamed to the Islamic National Assembly and all current seats from the elections under Paramerican occupation would be dissolved and a new election would be held in December of 2025.

-Ahmed El-Tayeb appointed Supreme Leader of the Righteous Revolution, making him head of state and granting him the highest Political and Religious power in the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt.

-The Presidency would be abolished saying it would lead to the moral corruption of Egypt.

-The House of Representatives would be reformed into the Islamic National Assembly.

-New elections for the Islamic National Assembly will be held in December of 2025.

-Ahmed El-Tayeb would appoint Mohammed Badie to the Position of Interim Prime Minister until the Islamic National Assembly Elections.

-Ahmed El-Tayeb would announce his end of leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Renaissance Party and leave the leadership to now Interim Prime Minister Mohammed Badie.

-Sharia Law to be fully implemented into Egypt

On November 10th, 2025 Egypt would no longer be referred to as The Arab Republic of Egypt, but now as The Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt. |

Turan recognizes the government in Cairo

The Turani Ministry of the Foreign would tender itÂ’s official recognition of the sovereignty of the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt after the reorganization of the region following the Holy Nufambir Revolution, praising the countryÂ’s push to burn itÂ’s ties with socialism which the Central Asian community were unfortunately too familiar with. The ministry would also recognize the legitimacy of Ahmed El-Tayeb as the supreme leader of Egypt appointed, most importantly to Turan, by the will of the Islamic community by which he governs. Turan wishes to extend its arms to the fellow Islamic government in Cairo in hopes of a mutual friendship, welcoming the Egyptian diplomatic mission back into its original embassy in AstanaÂ’s diplomatic center, the mission from Egypt being dormant since the invasion by Paramerican forces and heightened intolerance of Egyptian socialist policy by citizens and administrators during the interim government of Turan, forcing the tenants of the building to abandon it under Turani governmental pressure.

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Spain re-establishes limited conscription and establishes the Army Secondary Reserve Corps amid renewed expansion of the Spanish military

| In 2001, the Kingdom of Spain formally abolished the compulsory military service, or conscription, system in favor of a fully voluntary military service system. The subsequent government administrations strongly opposed right-wing efforts to bring back military conscription to the country through the use of extensive public pressure and the establishment of strong and highly consolidated government coalitions in the Spanish Cortes Generales, or the Spanish legislature. The Torres administration (2024-) briefly considered revitalizing the compulsory military service program for the Spanish Armed Forces as part of the administration's large-scale military reform and modernization program, but decided against it to prioritize funding for arms acquisition deals with Metropolitan Francais and Paramountica. |

| However, over fifteen years later, the world stage has dramatically changed, both in the world's and Spain's perspective. Lebanon is experiencing a large refugee crisis thanks to the aggressive offensive invasion being conducted by Ranponian, Alzarikstan has emerged as a regional power and a close partner of the Kingdom of Spain, and the new states of Asharken and Osivoii have been established directly within Spain's 'region of national importance', or areas on the globe whose current political, economic, and social status are of great importance to the Spanish Government in Madrid. Under the pretense of helping the nation adapt to 'the new world order' and 'ensuring national security amid increased foreign threats', the far-right in Spain's legislature have launched an offensive against the centrists and liberals using a controversial militarization bill that introduced limited conscription laws for 18 to 21 year old Spanish nationals. |

| The Spanish National Security Act of 2026, proposed by somewhat moderate members of the far-right Vox party and subsequently backed by the conservative People's Party and the hardline members of Vox, such as the party leader Santiago Abascal, proposes to increase Spain's active military personnel to 450,000 and reserve military personnel to 350,000 by 2027. The bill also included a re-establishment of limited conscription laws, which required all Spanish nationals who have turned 18 to serve for six months in the Spanish Armed Forces to receive basic training and be immediately moved into the Armed Forces reserves. The proposed legislation also included the establishment of an Army Secondary Reserve Corps (ASRC) that would hold an estimated 850,000 personnel by 2030. The service members of the ASRC will be composed of the conscripts who finish their minimum required tour of duty but finished training after the 350,000 quota for reserve personnel has been reached. The ASRC will be at an extremely low readiness level, thus reducing maintenance costs by over 30%. Arms and other combat equipment will not be provided for ASRC service members unless called for by the Spanish Government in the case of war or a state of emergency. |

| In order to appeal to the substantial number of pacifists in the Cortes Generales, a clause was introduced into the bill requiring majority Cabinet and legislative approval from the Cabinet of Ministers and the Cortes Generales to activate over 100,000 ASRC personnel. The proposed legislation also argued in favor of the ASRC's establishment by pointing out the humanitarian possibilities of the Army Secondary Reserve Corps. According to the preface for the section on the ASRC, the secondary reserve corps could be 'used for humanitarian purposes wherein minimal amounts of forces - possibly numbering between 1,000 to 2,000 personnel - can be mobilized in the case of a crisis or emergency such as the refugee crisis in Lebanon currently ongoing'. |

| Surprisingly enough, the National Security Act passed with two-thirds of the Cortes and 51% of the Congress of Deputies in support of the bill. Over 25 Ciudadanos and 19 People's Party legislators crossed party lines to vote in favor of the bill, marking an unprecedented symbol of unity among the various clashing Spanish political parties that is certainly extremely rare. Prime Minister Augustina Torres signed the act into law on the 12th of January, 2026, formally establishing the new conscription laws and the Army Secondary Reserve Corps. General Jeme Dominguez, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff, was appointed the first commander-general of the ASRC on the 15th of January. Within 2026 alone, over 125,000 Spaniards will be drafted into the military, with 15,000 of that number entering the ASRC as a preliminary test force. |

| Gen. Dominguez and Gen. Villarroya, the Chief of the General Staff, both voiced their support for the bill's aim to increase active military personnel to 450,000 by 2027. The two high-ranking military officials announced their 'firm intent' to meet the quota as soon as possible, and began their campaign for increased military spending, aiming for $20.8 billion dollars of annual military spending for fiscal year 2026. In an effort to gain the support of the military, Vox and subsequently the People's Party launched aggressive campaigns strongly favoring the increase of military spending, calling it 'vital to the nation's continued national security'. |

The Righteous Assembly of Mujtahids & The Supreme Parliament for Consultation and Governance: Grand Emir Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Formally Establishes The Abdulrahman Caliphate

المجلس الصالح للمجاهدين والبرلمان الأعلى للاستشارات والحوكمة: الأمير الأكبر عبد الله بن الحسين عبدالرحمن الأول يؤسس خلافة عبد الرحمن بشكل رسمي

[sub]Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I Administration | ABU DHABI, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| ALMUDIRIAT ALEARABIAT ALEULYA - المديرية العربية العليا | The capital city Abu Dhabi usually is a very calm, vibrant, and lively city. Between universities and STEM research parks to tourism and government bureaucracy as well as the sight of patrol units walking on foot and smiling at pedestrians, Abu Dhabi became the epicenter of the Middle East but more notably the Arab World. The tenets of Abdulrahmanism, originally stemming from Muscat, flourishes among the Arab elites but also supplants gratitude and content among tribal and religious leaders. However, something monumental was brewing since the acquisition of Somaliland, the invasion of Lebanon by Turkey, the faltering of the AUFC, and the collapse of Iran. The Supreme Arab Directorate in addition to the Sovereign Shura Council on Islamic Jurisprudence and Social Cohesion and the Supreme Joint Chief of the General Staff of the United Arab Self-Defense Force have convened at the Federal National Council of the Union-State of Arab Nations discussing the future of the political and social establishments of the USAN. With the incorporation of the Somaliland Islamic Republic, there has been conversations regarding potentially changing the name to be more inclusive of the Afro-Arab community of the Islamic Republic of Somaliland. The Grand Emir Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I is expected to be in attendance as well. At the current stance, the USAN is the largest Middle Eastern nation, largest Arab economy, and largest military force in the region, Abu Dhabi under the leadership of Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman managed to replace Tehran and expand its dominion through economics, energy, culture, finance, and development reinforced by the growing military industrial complex. The arrival of Abdullah's motorcade to the Supreme Arab Directorate was an indication that something historical was going to occur.[/sub]

[sub]The deliberation of the major power national councils of the USAN government being broadcast on Al Jazeera live brought together the curiosity across the USAN as even the Heads of State of each USAN member arrived at the National Federal Council Administrative headquarters of the Supreme Arab Directorate. Al-Jazeera would provide main coverage and dialogue as they awaited some sort of announcement to be made amid this show of political, military, and religious unity at the NFC. After two hours, simultaneously and coordinated, all of the government and military facilities, buildings, complexes, statues, and even the airports would shine green and gold. Next would be the arrival of 2 x battalions into Abu Dhabi in their ceremonial uniforms used for military parades. A sudden breeze from the Arabian Gulf would assist the newly repainted roads and pavements from a dull dark to a vibrant, pure white mixed with calcite, celestite, colemanite, fluorite, sphalerite, and willemite minerals (reflects light) in cooling down the city but also provides the illusion and imagery of a shining, alive city.[/sub]

[sub]After 45 minutes, Al-Jazeera would be authorized to announce to the world the dissolution of the USAN and the official formation of the Abdulrahman Caliphate in its replacement. Becoming elevated to Caliph, the position of Grand Emir would be diminished from the executive position to Head of Government to ensure compliance. The Grand Emir has been designated as the President of the Supreme Parliament for Consultation and Governance, which replaces the Supreme Arab Directorate. Additionally, each Head of State for each former member-state of the USAN have become Emirs of their particular country, thus dissolving sovereign borders within the former USAN into a singular country and each former country becoming provinces of the new Caliphate. With the announcement of the Caliphate, it was reported that massive crowds convened in Mecca and Medina demonstrating staunch approval of the new Caliphate among Sunnis and Shias as Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman is considered the perfect compromise between Sunnis, Shias, and Ibadis having been both a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad as well as appointed by a Shura Council whilst fulfilling the Ibadi requirements of being morally just and humble. In Abu Dhabi, the downtown area would become filled with supporters as some cried out of joy that in their lifetime a Caliphate was formed while others cheered and supported for the full unification of the borders, boundaries, and people of the now former USAN.[/sub]

[sub]Abdulrahmanists would appear as well indicating that the formation of the Caliphate is the final stage of evolution of the ideology and the Arab people. Members of the Fundamental Army of Abdulrahman would slowly gather near the Supreme Parliament for Consultation and Governance to demonstrate their support in a makeshift rally of veneration for the new Caliphate. In Somaliland, Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda would reveal their approval for the establishment of a Caliphate; a true Islamic polity. Appearing in the main chamber for deliberation, newly established Caliph Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I would be greeted with cheers and bows as he approached his podium and looked with a controlled smile and slight nods - the beginning of a new sense of public diplomacy and soft power propaganda. With the applause commencing for 2 minutes, the Caliph would give a final nod to notion for the people to take their seats as he delivered his speech:[/sub]

[list]"All praise is due to Allah, We worship Him, We seek His help and His forgiveness, and we turn to Him in repentance. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our ill deeds. Whoever is guided by Allah can not be led astray, and whoever goes astray cannot be guided. Assalamualaikum. Allah is here is and well within our spirit. Allah is living in our pride and allegiance to each other. Through Allah, this Caliphate became possible and through Allah, it will remain forever. I am blessed to stand here in front of you, my brothers and sisters, and our foreign colleagues that support the newly established Abdulrahman Caliphate. Arabia is a pillar of Arab civilization dating back over 100,000 years, starting with the initial migration from Africa to the deserts and oasis of Arabia. The culture and society of this Caliphate has been crafted, blessed, and anointed by Allah himself as we are His chosen society. This plays true through the preferred investments and negotiations of foreign countries that seek to enrich, modernize, and advance Arabia during a time of global struggle, division, and chaos. But here in the Caliphate, we are peaceful, prosperous, affluent, and gracious. We have expelled ideologies of hostility and destruction and embraced the one true way of life and society: Islamic Abdulrahmanism. Arabia and Her People have been closer and united more than ever. We have been enhanced, empowered, and elevated by the works of heightening the importance of communal identity but also stressing the importance of individual growth both under the auspice of the Abdulrahmanist State but more importantly, in the Eyes and Good Graces and Blessings of Allah and the Prophet Mohammad, Peace Be Upon Him.

Arabia and Her People have become closer and united more than ever. We have been enhanced, empowered, and elevated by the works of heightening the importance of our historical communal identity but also stressing the importance of individual growth both under the auspice of the Abdulrahmanist State but more importantly, in the Eyes and Good Graces and Blessings of Allah and the Prophet Mohammad, Peace Be Upon Him. This nation has proven to live true to Surah Ali ‘Imran 3:104, which states that 'And let there be from you a nation inviting to good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful'. It is the responsibility and obligation of you to develop, modernize, advance, maintain, and preserve this Nation of Good and it is your responsibility to promote the Righteous and Persecute the Wicked. Through this mentality, the successful and peacefulness of this Caliphate shall continue til the End of Time. We must remain humble to each other but we must remain loyal and pledge our allegiance always to our lifestyle of Abdulrahmanism and our faith in Islam. Islam and Abdulrahmanism go hand in hand in the seeking of salvation and liberation from times of division and destruction. Abdulrahmanism fulfills Surah An-Nahl (16:97), which I quote: 'Whoever does righteousness, male or female, while believing, we will grant them a happy life'. Abdulrahmanism blesses the lives of Arabs through Surah Ali ‘Imran (3:103), which elucidates 'And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided'. We are officially a united people for a reason and that is to be united as One.

In Surah al-Buruj 85:11, it is written that "Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds will have gardens beneath which rivers flow that is a great attainment". Through the collective efforts of this Caliphate and our Nation of Islam and fulfilling the works of Allah here on Earth, we will be able to bless each other with the cultivation and establishment of a pure Islamic Abdulrahmanist society to pays tribute to the Age of Islamic Renaissance that seeks enlightenment and renaissance of culture in our values and society. This renaissance I guarantee unto you can only be reached by uniting the people of the Collective State, of which will transform Arabs politically, economically, intellectually and morally. This "renaissance" is a "rebirth" in the pride, distinguishing, and confirmation of the importance, uniqueness, and the choosing of Arabia to become a regional authority to represent cultural, social, economic, spiritual, and intellectual purity. According to "His Excellency" President Almanzor Radwan Jermell Abdulrahman, May He Continue to Bless Us, the first renaissance was the collapsing of the false Caliphates, meaning those not of the ecumenical order of succession within the epicenter of the Middle Eastern zone. The second "rebirth" was the end of the Ottoman Empire. The initiation of the third "rebirth" was the revolution of the Omani Directorate in 1952 against the growing Ba'ath threat that would encompass the region within 20 years of chaos, division, and destruction. This new "renaissance" shall bring a message promoting the resurrection of the importance and vitality of the Islamic identity, of which sums up our motto that has been written in each of our hearts and souls: "One Nation, the Fruition of the Eternal Message".

This Caliphate is to grant blessings and present a lifestyle of righteousness, prosperity, grace, and happiness. Those in our region outside of our borders are not satisfied with themselves because they do not feverishly believe in our two pillars of society: Islam and Abdulrahmanism. They do not fully believe in their hearts the power of uniformity and pride but we do! Everyday, we have made it customary to uphold the Faith Institutions within our mind, body, and spirit of us all and this dedication of Faith is elevated to our allegiance, loyalty, and serving to the Abdulrahmanist State and our ideology. Now. I task you to go out into the Republic and spread the words of Islam with your mind, heart, and soul but also enforce and guide the dishonest and disbelievers with the words of Allah and the deeds of Abdulrahman. One cannot survive without the other and therefore, we must continue to show our dedication, understanding, and willingness to uphold our institutions, expand our influence, seek cooperation and collaboration, and establish the presence of the Caliphate in our region and the world. May Allah Bless You. Thank you"[/list]

The end of his speech would result in a roaring ovation from the Supreme Parliament for Consultation and Governance, Sovereign Shura Council on Islamic Jurisprudence and Social Cohesion and the Supreme Joint Chief of the General Staff of the United Arab Self-Defense Force (now renamed the Islamic Defense Force of Abdulrahman, or IDFA). With the ending of the standing ovation, the new Caliph along with his massive entourage of bureaucrats, Emirs, military officials, attaches, and other senior elites of the Caliphate would make their way to the balcony of the SPCG, where a gathered crowd would await to see their new Caliph upon hearing his historic speech. Waving and smiling as his entourage clapped at this image, the 2 battalions of the IDFA would commence their goose step military parade while above 7 x F-18s, 7 x F-16s, 7 x Saud bin Muhammad Al Muqrin-21 Block II Multirole Air Superiority Combat Aircraft, and 7 x Dassault Rafale twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole fighter aircraft would conduct fly overs while AH-64D Attack Helicopters flew the flags of the Abdulrahman Caliphate from the underbelly of the helicopter and Mikoyan MiG-29 twin-engine jet fighters released smoke that were the color of the Caliphate's flag. It would be announced that there would be a firework display to commence upon sundown.

TURKEY TO INTERCEPT REFUGEE BOATS

JANUARY 2026

With multiple European States whining about Refugees after less than a week of fighting in Lebanon, the Turkish Foreign Ministry in coordination with Representatives of the Naval Forces has announced that Turkey shall intercept Refugee boats heading away from Lebanon and re-route them to Northern Cyprus where the Turkish Government shall assign a total of 420 million USD on an annual basis to construct and maintain a tent based Refugee center providing safety to those Refugees. Responsibility for Law Enforcement and the protection of said center shall fall to the Northern Cyprus Security Forces Command, an independent wing of the Armed Forces possessing a total active force of 15,000. The Turkish Government will try to work closely with foreign States and organizations wishing to assist in the form of supplies or manpower, however is fully committed to independently covering the cost in both men and supplies. As the number of Refugees increase, new Camps will be established in order to keep their organization manageable under different Camp administrations.

Turkish memes spreading across the internet show a Turkish General facepalming next to a picture of a Spanish Coast Guard Boat with the quote : "If the Euros dont want Refugees, why do they keep pulling them ashore?"

Saharan Wolf 22 Exercises Conducted With SADR

Laayoune, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

January, 2026

__________

Units of the Maghrebi Army and Air Force have conducted the 21st annual Saharan Wolf exercises with the Sahrawi PeopleÂ’s Liberation Army. The exercises involved a total of 12,000 troops from both countries. The exercises involved Sahrawi and Maghrebi motorized infantry, armor, and air power. Officials described the exercises as a part of the continued bond between Maghreb and the Sahrawi people since independence. The exercises draw their name from the literal Saharan Wolf, a folk legend common to the Maghreb and Sahara region. The exercises will continue through the month of January, culminating in a division-level mock battle between both forces. They were observed by military and political leaders in both countries.

The Western Sahara conflict, persecuted in part by former King Hassan II, ended in 2004 when Sahrawi was officially declared independent of Maghreb. The move followed an overwhelmingly positive independence referendum in West Sahara and was supported by King Muhammed VI. Since independence, Maghreb and SADR have signed a series of treaties and agreements tying the countries close together. The countries have a mutual defense treaty, open borders, a free trade agreement, and a military joint anti-terror command. Due to its relative economic reliance on Maghreb, Sahrawi has been functionally a dependency of Maghreb since its foundation. The country remains a thinly-veiled dictatorship under President Brahim Ghali and is politically dominated by the Polisario Front which Ghali is also the leader of. Though founded as a Marxist group, the Polisario Front abandoned those ideals over time as it became more pragmatically focused on independence. Now itÂ’s internally fractured ideologically but is largely loyal to the whims of Ghali. Far removed from its socialist past, the most dominant faction in the Front are Islamists associated with the Maghrebi Green Alliance. Still, the country has been an avid support of anti-terror efforts and squashing Islamic Extremism in Maghreb.

FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI CRITICIZES INSTABILITY IN EUROPE

外 交 部 长 王 毅 谈 韩 国 四 级 风 暴

[sup]October 2025 | 2025 年 10 月 一 On days and weeks following initial occupation of Finnmark

[/sup]

[list]

[sub]

Having officially issued a statement on the matter on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declaring China strictly abides by the common international norms of "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries" and respect for the Kingdom of Norr's "independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity", Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi further commented on the lack of a solution to the crisis in Finnmark:[/sub]

[sub]》中华人民共和国外交部长王毅 一 “中方继续支持有关各方进行对话,以确保找到符合国际法和国际准则的解决方案。[...] 远离这场危机的国家采取的威胁和侵略姿态,尤其是那些军事性质的威胁和侵略姿态,表明了一种不负责任和鲁莽的政策,这种政策无视旨在建立解决方案与和平的合法进程。这些政策的性质无疑是耗电的。这样的政策只会导致冲突。令人担忧的是,某些欧洲机构未能阻止这些危险行为,令人震惊的是,这种不遵守国际规范和体面的情况已经发生。它表明局势有多不稳定,部分原因是激进行为者不必要和不当的参与。不应积极反对和平与解决进程,而应予以支持和尊重。[...] 危机中的国家和行为者参与或“干预”的唯一形式应该是支持和平和支持解决方案。”

[/sub][sup]

》FOREIGN MINISTER WANG YI, People's Republic of China 一 “China continues to support a dialogue between the concerned parties to ensure a solution in line with international law and international norms. [...] Threats and aggressive postures, especially those that are of the military nature, made by countries far from the periphery of this crisis, demonstrate an irresponsible and reckless policy, one that disregards legitimate processes aimed at establishing a solution and peace. The nature of these policies are undoubtedly power-hungry. Such policies will only result in escalation. It is worrying that certain European institutions have failed in preventing these rogue and dangerous behaviors, and appalling that such lack of adherence to international norms and decency have occurred. It points to just how unstable the situation is, in part as result of unnecessary and improper involvement by aggressive actors. The processes of peace and solution must not be actively worked against, but supported and respected instead. [...] The only form of involvement or 'intervention' by countries and actors in the crisis should be peace-supporting and solution-supporting.”[/sup]

[pre]January, 2026 | The Presidential Palace on Nile Street and Republic Avenue, Government District - Khartoum, United Federal Republic of Sudan[/pre]

MOHAMED NAJI ALASSAM INAUGURATED

Following just months after the inauguration of the new members of the increasingly crowded and growing Sudanese Parliament with the addition of Uganda into the Union, January 16th had arrived, which is the official date set by Parliament to inaugurate and appoint s new Prime Minister to office. This inauguration would become the final chapter of a very sad term for the Prime Minister's office with the death of Prime Minister Salva Kiir in March of last year resulting in a 10 month long yet short Term for the Deputy turned Prime Minister Zaim Binallah.

As per tradition Naji was headed towards the old and small Presidential Palace, that has been a unique site to see among the new and modern North Khartoum Skyline. As he was transported on a white Toyota landcruiser. As he arrived he would be greeted by hundreds of his followers and supporters all mostly wearing green shirts and hats with either his face on it, or "Naji For Green Sudan 2025" and "#LOGO" written on them. As well as other residents of downtown Khartoum and other people from all over the country that have come to witness the inauguration of yet another Prime Minister of the Third Sudanese Republic amazed by the stability and success of the Democratic process of the Republic. Along with the many other Prime Ministers who have been inaugurated on this very spot as the television would not only broadcast images of the inaugurational ceremony but also film the towering sky scrapers that now surround and sit above the skies of Khartoum showing a symbol of how far the country has come under a stable, united, and hard working society. a great nation looked in pride and joy at the momentous achievements of the motherland, they could not help themselves but be proud of their country, of their flag, of their fellow countrymen. Truly Sudan has not yet fallen to darkness and the brutality of the region

Mohamed Naji walks up the stairs then stands on the second floor of the palace accompanied by Sudan's Chief Justice Mariam Salah, former Prime Minister Fatma Nageeb, Abdullah Hamdok, Kiir's Wife, Al-Sir amd others who came to witness Naji's inauguration. Naji's family consisting of his mother and father along with other relatives , his friends, some members of Parliament, the ambassadors and representatives of many other nations, political opponents that also stood on the steps of the palace or are seated on the palace's square including Sadiq Al-Mahdi's daughter, Ali Jaddin, even Acuil Deng.

Following the rising of the Sudanese Flag as the National Anthem is played by the Republican Band. Chief Justice Salah then turns towards Naji, she hands over the Qur'an that is placed on a red pillow to his soon to be Deputy Minister Bobi Wine who although is an Anglican Christian from uganda, he was happy to hold the Quran out for Naji as long as Naji held thd bible for his swear in. Bobi held out the Quran for Naji, as then Chief Justice Salah instructs Naji to place his right hand on the Holy Book while holding his left hand up and instructs him again to repeat after her.

[list]Mohamed Naji :| "I Mohamed Naji Alassam, swear my allegiance, to devote my powers to Govern and Protect, the United Federal Republic of Sudan, by the guidance of God, the People, and the Constitutional of the Republic and Union."[/list]

claps and cheers ring out as he has said the final words of his oath as his supporters chant "Green Sudan" and as foghorns go off. Naji then shakes hands with all that are near him before waving to the crowds and then holding out the Holy Bible for the swearing of Deputy Minister Bobi Wine inti office before he enters into the Presidential Palace alongside his family and others.

Later at a joint press conference with the now official Prime Minister Mohamed Naji Alassam with outgoing Prime Minister Zaim Binallah, thete a reporter for Al-Madera News, Khartoum had asked both leaders how they see about Sudan's position in the Muslim World after the declaration of the Abdulrahman Caliphate (Alzarikstan) and Abassiyah Islamic Republic in Egypt (Osivoii). They were also asked about wether they would call Sudan a Muslim country or not.

Binallah had a remark saying that there was enough controversy with him as he is leaving office but has still provided a statement for the Sudanese people.

[list]Former PM Zaim Binallah :| "In my opinion, The only difference between Sudan and the other Islamic states is that this government along with the politicians, servicemen and women, and bureaucrats that run it to insure the survival of our Republic, would never use Allah to justify their actions on domestic or foreign soil. For Sudan. God is holy. Politics is not. So really it's logical to keep them separate and keep God's light holy untainted by politics."[/list]

Followed by Binallah's statement, Naji seemed a little uncomfortable as he will be inheriting a nation in the midst of geopolitical tensions in the region. Despite Binallah's hardwork to re-establish and open trade with many global

Partners promoting job and industrial growth in the country, the relations that Khartoum has with its closest neighbours have worsened as many countries across the region either entered a period of instability or a new chapter of prosperity. For Sudan. The union is a new chapter. Naji had tried to the best of ability to show that Sudan is not trying to be hostile towards its neighbours.

[list]PM Mohamed Nji :| "during my campaigns across the country from Port Sudan to Atbarah to Nayala and then south into Juba and Kampala, I have noticed that everywhere I go thete stood a proper and beautiful unique looking Mosque from any region and in every region. I've also noticed unique and beautiful Churches in every region. By now we the Sudanese people understand that we are all Sudanese first and we can all love together as Sudanese. Allah to me is my God. My only God that I worship and obey along with all the Muslims in this country. But Sudan to me is not only my country, it's our country. We have Christians, African indigenous religions, Jews, and simply non-believers. There exists a peace in our country not connected by our shared belief in one diety but by our shared belief in the betterment and goodness of the Sudanese people and inturn the Sudanese nation. I as a Muslim will do my sole duty to Allah on this earth. And you might do yours to Jesus or to Anubus or Abuk. In the end our duties is to them. But your and my duty to your country and to our fellow countrymen requires a whole lot more than Devine intervention and prayers. It requires your co-operation and your willingness to contribute. We've built a great country here people. We've sure been blessed as a land of many blessings. But those blessings need you and me to work together to make something great. The people are what created families. Tribes. Cities and then states. And they have then created a nation. A United Republic. And I am certainly proud to become its Prime Minister."[/list]

Naji's speech would get him an applause from the press conference. Binallah would wrap up the press conference as he thanks the country for allowing him to serve those 10 trying months. Reporters have asked Naji if he had a response to events in Cairo and Abu Dhabi which Naji responds with "yeah soon."

Binallah along with his family would then get in the motorcade that drives him down Nile Street as they wave the people goodbye. In the distance from the finance district, Al-Sunut 1 tower would begin displaying the colors of the Sudanese flag from projectors across the river as fireworks would go off from on top the tower as they also reflected onto the Nile turning the river into all sorts of colors. Sudanese flags fluttered in the wind hanging from ever lamp post on Nile Street as Binallah's motorcade drove towards the airport passing by crowds celebrating the majesty of democracy. There Binallah would go home to North Kordofan, where he shall retire from a 40 year long political career.

Spanish military enlistment numbers skyrocket after new military personnel benefits are announced

| Continuing on the rapid remilitarization of the Spanish Armed Forces led by the right-wing in the Spanish Cortes, official enlistment reports issued by the Ministry of Defense and made public by the Ministry of the Interior show a rapid increase of enlistment numbers for the Army and the Navy, with 25% less for the Air Force after the Defense Ministry announced on Friday that new benefits for all Spanish active military personnel have been set into place. These new benefits include free healthcare for the active service member and his or her immediate family, 40% more pay for longer tours of duty lasting three years or more, priority emergency treatment at government hospitals in times of emergencies for the active service member and his or her immediate family, as well as access to the Spanish Government's Universal Basic Income (UBI) pilot program, in which service members will receive $400 per month with no taxes or strings attached. This monthly UBI can be spent on anything the recipient wishes to spend it on, with the government exerting no influence or authority over their decisions regarding the monthly UBI checks and how they are spent. |

| According to the Ministry of Defense's official public announcement on the 14th of January, over 8,700 new recruits voluntarily enlisted into the military since December of last year, and, since the enactment of new limited conscription laws in the Kingdom of Spain and her territories, over 12,000 conscripts have been drafted into the military to begin their six months of basic training in the Armed Forces before being sent home as reservists or members of the Army Secondary Reserve Corps, or the ASRC. Estimates issued by the Defense Ministry's statistics department claim that an additional 9,500 will voluntarily enlist into the Spanish military over the next three months, with over 15,000 being drafted in that same time period. At a meeting on the topic of enlistment rates, the director of the Defense Ministry's statistics department reportedly assured Minister of Defense Andrea Soler and Prime Minister Augustina Torres that the government's quota of reaching 450,000 active and 350,000 reserve personnel by 2027 'was definitely achievable'. |

| A series of interviews conducted by The Local, a Spanish English-language internet news outlet, showed that over 47% of voluntary recruits enlisted into the Spanish military mainly to take part in the new Universal Basic Income pilot program. The pilot program, which is set to start in February 2026 and end in December 2027, is expected to encompass over 50,000 Spanish Army service members and 2,500 reservists as part of a test program to test the viability of a nationwide, or at the very least an Equatorial Guinean, universal basic income program. The remaining 53% of voluntary enlisters chose the UBI program as a secondary reason, with the healthcare benefits for them and their immediate family being the main reason. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Defense have expressed interest in raising the budget for both ministries by over 15% each to facilitate the UBI pilot program and 'accommodate the new financial stresses caused by the massive influx of new personnel'. Although the discussions regarding the government budget for fiscal year 2026 are still being planned and scheduled, major government officials such as Deputy Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Finance Minister Nadia Calvino have placed their strong support behind the increase of both the military and finance budgets. |

Anti-Slavery : The Backstory of Emir Usman, part 3

Taoudenni, Northern Mali Region, Sahelia EmirateÂ…

[list]The Minister of Interior AffairsÂ’ plane landed on a VIP airstrip in the remote town of Taoudenni in the middle of the deep desert of Northern Mali region. He was greeted by a collection of local Islamic scholars & the town authorities.[/list]

It was Usman MuhammadÂ

[list]It had been 5 years since Usman had been called to the position by Emir Suleiman, who admired his distant relativesÂ’ slightly rebellious yet extremely benevolent nature. Usman had since become a much more mature and stern individual. Life as a politician, touring the Sahelia Emirate, solving conflicts and tackling injustices had made him more rough around the edges.

Today he was in this remote town due to rumours by Sahelian security forces that human trafficking was taking place. Usman was not pleased. While he was greeted with “Peace be upon you” by the Islamic scholars & town authorities, he simply kept a poker face and ignored them as he walked to a podium that had been prepared for him.[/list]

Usman, Minister of IA: So it appears to me that you people in Taoudenni believe the rule of Emir Suleiman to be a jokeÂ

[list]The crowd that had gathered of the townsfolk began mumbling nervously.[/list]

Usman, Minister of IA: Human traffickingÂ… isÂ… slavery. And all the major Islamic scholars of the capital, of the Emir have agreed that slavery is PROHIBITED in our Emirate! So how dare you think that you can continue such a practice! How dare you!?

[list]The townÂ’s mayor stepped forward, glaring at Minister Usman.

Mayor Ahmad Labyle: I am this townÂ’s mayor and I have authority over it by Emir Suleiman. There is no such practices taking place here. Watch your mouth! Do you have any evidence to support your claim!

Usman, Minister of IA: Mr LabyleÂ… your townÂ’s mayoral office has been filing complaints to the District about helicopters and planes constantly flying over your remote part of the desert and disturbing your livelihoods due to the noise, yesÂ…?

Mayor Ahmad Labyle: Get to your point!

[list]Suddenly, the sound of several helicopters approaching began getting louderÂ… and louderÂ… and louderÂ…[/list]

Usman, Minister of IA: Well, the District has been redirecting those complaints to meÂ… know why? Because I personally sent these helicopters and planes after rumours of human trafficking & slavery taking place in Taoudenni. You thought you could hide from the emissaries of Allah because youÂ’re a remote town in the middle of the desertÂ

Mayor Ahmad Labyle: N-NoÂ… w-waitÂ… Honourable Minister, allow me and the rest of the townsÂ’ authorities to explainÂ

Usman remained silent, and he stared emotionlessly at the pleading mayor & town officials, as well as the Islamic scholars that served under them. The townsfolk had also gathered entirely by now to watch what was about to happen in awe...

[list]When the helicopters landed, out stepped scores of soldiers armed with FN FNC Assault Rifles, Crye combat shirts and pants, TYR Tactical PICO Assaulters Plate Carrier, Camelback elite gloves, GTX boots and had armour piercing knives on their person. These were none other than the deadliest and most rigorously trained, elite forces in the country, the Sahelian Special Forces (SSF).[/list]

SSF Squad Leader: MOVE OUT! MOVE OUT! MOVE OUT!

[list]Out of one of the helicopters stepped a man who looked to be in his 40s, a dark skinned man appearing to be from the very south of the Mali region. A stark contrast to the light brown skinned residents of Taoudenni who were mostly Tuaregs. Usman smirked.[/list]

Usman, Minister of IA: Your years of tyranny are over Mr Lablye and co. The Emir has issued an edict for the arrest of you & the town authorities. The Emir has also approved a warrant for a thorough search of this remote town & ALL and ANY slaves or people about to trafficked shall be emancipated. Any evidence found or any words you say, shall be used against you in your trial in BamakoÂ’s Islamic High Court. Shame on all of you town officials. Shame.

[list]The townsfolk erupted into chatter, surprised. The mayor & his colleagues who had corruptly ruled the town got on their knees and begged, but to no avail as SSF soldiers dragged them into the helicopter. The rest of the SSF spread out through the town to conduct their search.[/list]

Usman, Minister of IA: This man here, is Mamadou Keita. He will be the new Mayor of Taoudenni. He has all the authority of His Excellency, Emir Suleiman to represent you. May AllahÂ’s blessings be with you and it is by His Mercy & Permission, that will shall liberate the entire country from vermin who practice slavery and human trafficking!

Mamadou Keita: I shall serve you all wellÂ… Inshallah.

[list]The townsfolk bowed their heads nervously out of respect to the new mayorÂ…[/list]

UsmanÂ’s ruthlessness of planning ahead and speed at taking action had stunned the town & this incident would bolster his reputation across the Sahelia Emirate once it hit the media outlets.

The Angel of Death Whispers : The Backstory of Emir Usman, part 4

Bamako Palace, Bamako, Sahelia EmirateÂ…

[list]Usman rushed down the corridor leading to the Chambers of the Emir. He pushed past doors and even though his turban had fallen, he continued to run regardless.

Emir Suleiman had been sick since the start of the year and it was now nearing December and his condition had only gotten worse as he fought off a fever at old age.

It was Emir Suleiman whoÂ’d put his faith in Usman & taken a chance on making him Minister of the Interior, allowing him to bolster his political career and reputation as a benevolent man who was harsh when necessary in order to keep the peace & stability of Sahelia. Unlike many Sahelian elites of his time, Usman regularly showed care for the common man. Now the man whoÂ’d let him shine was dyingÂ…[/list]

Usman: Emir! Emir!

Usman burst into the EmirÂ’s room and there he saw Emir Suleiman laying in bed with tubes in his nose and a machine next to him that gave him IV Drips. Surrounding his bed were his four wives, Maymouna, Safia, Alia & Nura. Suleiman opened his eyes gently and smiled slightly upon seeing Usman.

Suleiman: My dear cousin you act a foolÂ… *wheezing laughter*

Usman: *sobs* It is not fairÂ… it is not fair that you should be taken away from us now!

Suleiman: I have been Emir of this country for a while now, I am old. My body is tired UsmanÂ… *wheezes* My death will not be a punishmentÂ… it will be a MercyÂ

Usman: DonÂ’t say that EmirÂ… pleaseÂ

Suleiman: Oh UsmanÂ… I donÂ’t want to live anymoreÂ… I donÂ’t want to be Emir anymoreÂ

Maymouna, Wife no.1: Darling please stop saying such words!

Alia, Wife no.3: Exactly, weÂ’re already worried as it is! If you die now who knows what will happen to the country!

Nura, Wife no.4: You must live for us all honeyÂ… if Allah permits it.

[list]Suleiman began coughing harshly for a few seconds causing Usman to tear up and his wives to stare with great fearÂ…[/list]

Usman: EmirÂ… pleaseÂ

Suleiman: A-Alright, alrightÂ… e-enouÂ… *wheezes* enough. You must be a man Usman. Be a man. Stand f-firmÂ… firm against the forces that keep our nation stagnant. Y-you hear meÂ…?

Usman: I shall do my best as Minister of the Interior even after youÂ’re gone Emir, if you shall permit me. I shall stand for justice, I shall *wipes tears* I shall honour your memory. I swear on the life of my grandfather & your uncle, Tally Muhammad. The Hero of Sahelia.

[list]Suleiman began laughing heavily, the whistling sound of his weak lungs could be heard as he cackled. His wives desperately tried to get him to relax. Suleiman eventually coughed hard and settled, before grinning as saliva dripped from his mouth.[/list]

Suleiman: Oh UsmanÂ… who said you would still be Minister of the Interior after IÂ’m goneÂ…?

Usman: W-well if not thatÂ… then what?

[list]Suleiman: Oh UsmanÂ… *smirks and wheezes* YOU shall be EmirÂ…

[sup]Police Arrest 12 In Biggest Anti-Poaching Operation In Indian History!!?[/sup]

[sup]In breaking news coming in from the city of Mumbai, where over 100 law enforcement officers after months of planning in a coordinated effort by local municipal and federal law enforcement had raided a warehouse in the Mumbai Port Trust, Mumbai India. Where they had arrested 12 individuals with charges ranging from felony poaching of endangered species from the Asiatic Lion, Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, including various other illicet contraband found in the warehouses during the raid. Additionally other contraband such as heroin and pharmaceutical painkillers such as Oxycodone and other drugs were found inside, which according to investigators is said to be worth over 25 million USD.[/sup]

[sup]Helmet cam footage taken from one of the officers as they rushed inside the warehouse in full body armor and armed with H&K MP5 submachine guns are seen clearing office rooms and taking the suspects into custody, 10 of which surrendered to officers immediately with 2 other suspects attempting to flee via a window on the other side of the warehouse. Only to be caught by more law enforcement officers, who had already secured a perimeter around the facility. The helmet cam catching video of crates filled with various goods from stolen electronics such as flat screen television sets, desktop and laptop computers and various cellphones all found in specific crates. With various parts of the warehouse according to investigators was designed to separate various goods from stolen goods on one side, to drugs and other contraband in other parts. The biggest find by far by investigators being over 30 million USD in animal skins and other parts such as teeth from endangered animals such as the Bengal Tiger with police believing that other endangered animals from other countries have been sent here.[/sup]

[sup]In total over 55 or so million USD in ilicit items was confiscated by police with all 12 being hit with a series of serious charges from poaching, distribution of contraband, including the distribution of illegal drugs and other paraphernalia found at the warehouse. All 12 suspects are facing between 15 and 30 years in prison, with police suspecting that the operations had been ongoing for between 10 and 13 years. Additionally police believe that other port cities may have similar operations with potentially other illegal products being sent from other countries overseas.[/sup]

[sup]The Bengal tiger, also known as the Royal Bengal tiger, is a tiger from a specific population of the Panthera tigris tigris subspecies that is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is threatened by poaching, loss, and fragmentation of habitat, and was estimated at comprising fewer than 2,500 wild individuals by 2011. None of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within its range is considered large enough to support an effective population of more than 250 adult individuals. India's tiger population was estimated at 1,706–1,909 individuals in 2010. By 2018, the population had increased to an estimated 2,603–3,346 individuals. Around 300–500 tigers are estimated in Bangladesh, 220–274 tigers in Nepal and 103 tigers in Bhutan.[/sup]

[sup]The tiger is estimated to be present in the Indian subcontinent since the Late Pleistocene, for about 12,000 to 16,500 years. The Bengal tiger ranks among the biggest wild cats alive today. It is considered to belong to the world's charismatic megafauna.[/sup]

The Big Decision

The GREAT MAJLIS, Bamako Palace, Bamako, Sahelia EmirateÂ…

[list]The GREAT MAJLIS was a meeting that took place every few years in order to decide whether the current Emir could continue ruling, or who to replace him with when he died.

It had around 300 attendees and took place in a huge hall separated into 3 sections. One section was for the family and relatives of the Muhammad clan from whom the Emir would be chosen from. The Muhammads were the descendants of Tally Muhammad, the founder of Sahelia.

The next section was for the Islamic scholars & Sufi imams who dominated the country via the Consultative Council which acted as the legislative body of Sahelia.

Finally, there was a section for the businessmen elite of the country, the ones who held most of the wealth and whoÂ’s companies dominated the Sahelian economy.

Each section would have chosen a representative to speak on their behalf prior to the GREAT MAJLIS, and in the end everyone would cast their votes in a ballot to be counted up by the Majlis Ballot Coordinators.

The meeting would be moderated by the Speaker of the Majlis. Today’s Speaker of the Majlis, was Babakar Condé. Babakar had been a close friend of the Emir & was a former Major-General in the Sahelian Army.[/list]

Speaker Condé: Silence everyone. The processions of the GREAT MAJLIS Series 2025, has begun. Bīsmillah ir rahman ir raheem (in the name of God, the Most Merciful). Let us pray Al FatihahÂ

[list]The prayer of Al Fatihah was said and once a loud resounding Ameen was said by everyone in the hall, ending the prayer the procession begun.

Speaker Condé: As is my duty to you all on this find day, I shall moderate the GREAT MAJLIS. If I ask for silence there must be silence. If I ask questions they must be responded to with the utmost honesty. No violence or chaos shall be tolerated. Let us beginÂ

[list]Four men would stand up, two for the religious section, 1 from the other of the 3 sections of the hall.[/list]

Keita, Business Interests: I, Omer Keita speak for the businessmen of our nation.

Fodio, Sufi Imams: I, Demba Fodio speak for the Sufi Imams of our nation.

Idris, Islamic Scholars: I, Diasogo Idris speak for the Islamic scholars of our nation.

Abdulaziz, Muhammad Clan: And I, Abdulaziz Muhammad, speak for the Muhammad Clan.

[list]The Speaker would take out and envelope and then open it, reading the later.[/list]

Speaker Condé: My dear country, your Emir speaks to you through this letter. When it is read to you, understand I am dead. Never to return. But also understand that we shall see each other again in Heaven, God willing. It is my wish, that you honour the sacred tradition that started when my uncle, Tally Muhammad pulled our diverse peoples together under the banner of Islam. That tradition being, that all rulers of this country come from the Muhammad Clan. That tradition being that the successor shall be decided in the GREAT MAJLIS & not by any military or violent coercion. My personal recommendation for who should succeed me? My dear cousin, Usman Muhammad. May Allah protect Sahelia forever. Ameen. Goodbye people.

[list]The Hall erupted into shouts, mumbling and chatter. The Speaker slammed his gavel.[/list]

Speaker Condé: Silence! I said Silence! We shall hear from the Business interests first.

Keita: Thank you Speaker. It is of our opinion that Emir Suleiman, may Allah rest his soul, was correct in recommending Usman Muhammad as the next Emir. Usman as Minister of the Interior has proven himself to be a fantastic negotiator. He has stopped numerous tribal conflicts, battled arduously against slavery & human trafficking in remote parts of the country that went ignored by the central government for decades. His overall mentality is one of benevolence & stability. This is the exact kind of man that ensures economic progress.

Idris: Objection!

Speaker Condé: Idris of the Islamic scholars, voice your objection.

Idris: Usman while competent in some areas, is a reckless 37 year old. His rebellious nature and general tendency towards unconventional methods of politicking is the very opposite of stability. We do not agree with Usman being the next Emir. Rather, we would like Emir SuleimanÂ’s eldest son, Rashid to the next Emir. He has studied Islamic law for a decade in some of our best Islamic educational institutions.

Fodio: Objection!

Speaker Condé: Fodio of the Sufi Imams? SpeakÂ

Fodio: Our beloved Prophet, said that there would come a time when many would profess to be Muslims but few would have the words of the Quran & mercy of Allah within their hearts. Rashid, the son of Emir Suleiman is an intelligent man but let us not forget that he almost caused a national scandal when he hit his wife in public. A man who hits his wife so shamelessly cannot claim to have the words of the Quran in his heart. Meanwhile, Usman emancipates slaves.

Idris: At least Rashid is married! Usman has been a bachelor for too long and a man who isnÂ’t married will into his 30s is either a bloody HOMOSEXUAL or a MANWHORE that is bedding multiple women outside of wedlock![/list]

The entire hall would erupt into yelling at the venomous words of Idris who represented the Islamic scholars.

[list]Speaker Condé: Idris of the Islamic scholars, your words are unjustly harsh and such manner of speech is unacceptable in the GREAT MAJLIS. Unless you have any evidence to your claims, apologise for defaming the name of Usman.

Idris: I-IÂ… I apologise.

Fodio: Speaker may I continue?

Speaker Condé: Fodio of the Sufi Imams, speakÂ

Fodio: Venerable men seated before me today! Look at the poison this man Idris spoke today in this hall! Without any evidence. We cannot trust the words of this man. He is not fitting to represent the respectable Islamic scholars of our nation.

Keita: I agree. We of the business interests are more inclined to listen to the Sufi Imam today.[/list]

Idris looked down in shame, he knew heÂ’d lost this oneÂ…

[list]Speaker Condé: Dear representative of the Muhammad Clan, do you have any words to add before we got to the voting ballot.

Abdulaziz: The Muhammad Clan shall respect the wishes of the previous Emir. If he wishes to see Usman as the next Emir, we shall abide by it. It has always been our custom to vote in line with what the previous Emir has recommended. We also appreciate the Sufi Imams & the Islamic scholars of this nation. We hope that todayÂ’s discord between them, is not representative of their behaviour in the Consultative Council.[/list]

An eery silence would follow AbdulazizÂ’s wordsÂ…

[list]Speaker Condé: Well, in that case we shall begin to cast the votes…[/list]

Abdulrahman International Media Services

The Emirate of Somaliland has announced the beginning of the massive importation of military weaponry, systems, and equipment from the mainland Arabian Peninsula as part of the comprehensive modernization process for the Islamic Self-Defense Force of Abdulrahman (ISDFA). It is reported that some of the systems include MGM-168 ATacMS Army Tactical Missile System (ATacMS) – Block IVA, K2 Black Panther Main Battle Tanks, M1A2C (SEPv3) Abram Tanks, K21-105 Medium Tanks, K21 Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Rabdan 8x8 Armoured Fighting Vehicles, and K136 Kooryong Multiple Launch Rocket Systems just to name a few. New Air Force bases are expected to begin construct in Somaliland in addition to the expansion of current renovated ones. It is believed that UCAVs and loitering munitions will comprise the bulk of the Emirate's Air Force capabilities; however, it is speculated that the Caliphate will most likely position some of its recently commissioned Saud bin Muhammad Al Muqrin-21 Block II Multirole Air Superiority Combat Aircraft and Saud bin Muhammad Al Muqrin-21 Block I Air Superiority Aircraft into the Somaliland Emirate.

A Rising Faction

With the Lipka Tatar population having gained access to better education, a small faction of them numbering 200 had learned about their history as a turkic group. The 200 decided to create the Północne Szare Wilki, or Northern Grey Wolves organisation to further promote the Turkic ways. The PSW would slowly build up an arsenal and would also use the expanded flights from Poland to Turkey to train with actual Grey Wolves members and to get more GW's into Poland to conduct various operations. The cultural centre would be used to hold "lectures" about the Muslim world, while in actuality, the real work would be done in the basement of the compound. They city of Zamość would be home to various caches and soon would be distributed to the major five cities. Negiat Karpat would take leadership due to no one having done so and would keep his top advisors in Turkey as well for safety reasons and for ease of communications and logistics with transporting goods. With the Polish acceptance of 10K Maronite Catholics, the Grey Wolves first task would be to turn the boats around and send them to Anatolia via taking the jobs on said boats and getting them turned around once past Cyprus.

FOREIGN MINISTRY: IFF ANNOUNCES $100 BILLION WORTH OF INVESTMENTS INTO AFRIQUE OVER FY2026

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2026 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | The International Francosphere Fund or IFF has announced approximately $100 billion USD worth of investments for the African continent. These investments are to go towards major infrastructure projects being built by France's partners in the Galla (Mesuvia), Emirate of Sahelia (Sahelia Bomoko), Republic of Maghreb (Asharken), Republic of Sudan (Nileia), Democratic Republic of the Congo (Tallahan), Republic of Tanzania (Somerania), and the Abbasīyah Republic of Egypt (Osivoii). The funds are meant to add a significant boost to the respective government's budgets which have been set aside for the construction of roads, irrigation systems, hospitals, schools, power plants, water treatment facilities, farming subsidies, mining operations, and oil exploration. In this massive show of support, France once again solidifies its commitments to the industrialization and growth of the African continent by remaining by far the number one financier of projects and programs throughout. As the threat of global warming increases, France will also begin funding programs to combat the spread and reverse the affects of desertification in the Sahel region. President Macron was quoted saying "Africa is full of future Switzerland's and U.A.E's alike with massive potential that will make the oil boom look like child's play." Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian added "The future is Africa and Africa is the future. Its time for the rest of the world to wake up." If all investments go well, plans have already been made to invest a further $30 billion USD in 2027. | [/sub]

| Bukhara, Emirate of Uzbekistan, Unified Territories of Turan | January 2026|

Turan recognizes the Abdulrahman Caliphate

Thousands of citizens from across the emirates would pack the streets of Bukhara, the holiest city in Central Asia in anticipation of a public address by Shah Aslan RaÂ’s-Kuzma no doubt to comment on the declaration of the Abdulrahman Caliphate. Citizens on the street, many armed, would wait in silence clutching increasingly popular flags of the faithful, a Saudi-esque flag depicting a blue backdrop, the shahada written in turkic runes and a silhouetted kilij sword, the silence would be interrupted when the Public Address System would turn on to a prerecorded voice informing of an imminent message. In the homes of Turan all local television stations would redirect to a camera broadcast from the inside of Po-i-Kalyan mosque complex where the Shah would be stood on the landing of staircase to the shadirvan on the west side of the courtyard facing other government and prominent religious officials including the SAMCA or the Spiritual Administration for the Muslims of Central Asia, the highest Islamic authority in Turan, based in that very complex, the onlookers would be seated on ottoman stools. The Shah would begin his address.

|Shah Kuzma|“As-Salam-u-Alaikum wa-rahmatullahi wa-barakatuh. The people of Turan have been increasingly vocal as of late, it is understood of course, the Union-State of Arab Nations has shown itself a clear ally of Turan, a friend to the people of Turan and a pillar of piety in the muslim world, brothers they are in our path to understanding of the lord and the world he has created. The world has not seen a true caliphate since the Ottoman Turks, since then the Ummah has been plagued by pretenders and children with guns claiming to be students of Allah, stains on the image of the Muslim people, however those times are over, no longer shall murderous fanatics come to the minds of the common man when the word caliphate is uttered, now only peace, progress and prosperity shall be upheld by those who chose to carry the title of the successor, let Allah test the character of the one who has taken the step to redefine us, with that, I Aslan Ra’s-Kuzma, patriarch of the Kuzmin dynasty, Sultan of the Turcoman Empire, Khanshah Of Central Asia, Atabeg Of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, Shah Of Golestan, by the will of the children of Tur and the will of our righteous Turan, recognize His Majesty Abdullah bin al-Hussein Abdulrahman I as Caliph, the Successor of the Prophet of the Lord of the Universe. Let his reign be long if he is just, let his reign be short if he makes mockery of the position he is granted, destroy his enemies if he is true, let him be struck down if he is not, strengthen his kingdom if he is firm and divide it if he falters. If he acts as he is required by the standards of the Ummah then he should be accepted by the sects of Islam and hopefully unite brothers who know one God but do not see eye to eye.”

The streets of Bukhara would erupt into chaos as chants from the mass of citizens could be heard in the broadcast itself. The internal troops would be tasked with cracking down on any action that would damage or dirty the buildings and infrastructure of the holy city as the crowds would celebrate the occasion in a frenzy like manner.

Chaos in Bukhara's well-known Jewish community, multiple dead, dozens wounded, no arrests

Seven Bukharan Jews dead as the Synagogue of Bukhara ransacked and violent mobs storm BukharaÂ’s Jewish Quarter home to the cityÂ’s dwindling Jewish population of one-hundred and fifty. Animosity for the countryÂ’s exiled former Jewish president Nurasyl Polaikov had finally pushed native Muslims to attempt to forcibly expel Jewish residents from the country, using the recognition of the Abdulrahman Caliphate as a sign that Turan had officially pivoted towards a Muslim theocratic agenda. Police and the internal troops uncharacteristically inefficient in getting to the scene in a timely manner, arriving to the affected areas significant portions of the time after the incidents were reported despite extremely swift response to vandalism of other parts of the holy city.

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Spain's military continues rapid rearmament and modernization efforts but questions are raised over the viability of such rearmaments

| In 2024, the Torres administration (2024-) announced major budget cuts to the military in order to focus funding on other sectors such as economic growth - as shown in the Madrid Economic Directive, which was passed shortly after Augustina Torres's election to the office of Prime Minister - and investments abroad worth tens of billions of dollars. However, the latter was seen by the public as highly controversial and was usually strongly opposed as some government officials argued that the tens of billions of dollars worth of foreign investments was mainly to combat French influence in the Middle East and Africa and to secure Spanish influence over her neighboring countries. These accusations were firmly denied by Prime Minister Torres and her administration, so the investments continued to flow. |

| This cut in military funding resulted in the moving of over five Spanish Air Force Bases (AFBs) from a fully operational to a moderate standby status, which reduces maintenance costs, closes the air traffic control tower on five out of the seven days of the week, and increases emergency mobilization time from two days to two months. The far-right in Spain's Cortes Generales strongly opposed the move, but was forced to concede after the People's Party established strong legislative ties with the ruling majority party, the centrist progressive Ciudadanos. Maintenance on Spain's Air Force, specifically the country's large Eurofighter Typhoon fleet, started to stagger and lag. By mid-2025, it was reported that out of the 72 Spanish Eurofighters, only 24 were fully operational and ready to fly. This was seen as a major upset in Spanish national security and served as a 'vulnerable point through which enemies could penetrate and attack the country', according to one Air Force official. This January, new military modernization and rearmament efforts began ahead of both the 2026 parliamentary midterm elections and the passage of the new government budget for FY 2026. As the month of January draws to a close, Prime Minister Augustina Torres approved the appropriation of over $300 million annually for the maintenance of all operational Air Force aircraft previously in an operational standby mode and the moving of all Spanish air force bases from a moderate standby to a fully operational status by June 2026. |

| The Spanish Cortes also passed an appropriation request by the Spanish Navy for $350 million, which will be used to hasten the construction of the Navy's second aircraft carrier, the Jose Bravo. The new funds will also be used to prepare the Juan Carlos I, the country's existing aircraft carrier, for the operation, landing, take-off, and maintenance of Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning IIs, which were purchased from Paramountica in November of last year. The Spanish Navy's top brass also attempted to push a $800 million separate appropriation request for the construction of a third, unnamed, aircraft carrier, to be completed by 2029, but met strong opposition in the Cortes and eventually failed to get the bid through the Congress of Deputies, or the lower house of the Cortes Generales. |

| Meanwhile, the Spanish Air Force is also in the process of pushing a $6.3 billion appropriation request through the Cortes for the potential acquirement of 80 Paramerican F-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter aircraft to replace the Eurofighter Typhoon and the F/A-18 Super Hornet air fleets currently encompassing the majority of the Spanish Air Force's operational combat aircraft. The request was initially backed by the right-wing, which is growing in public support and popularity, as well as conservatives and Eurosceptic politicians from both sides of the spectrum, but this support fell off after pro-EU politicians, which include Prime Minister Torres and Deputy Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, stated that 'other options were available, such as the Eurofighter II from our fellow allies in the EU'. The backers of the F-35 appropriation request retaliated, arguing that the higher price for the Eurofighter II compared to the F-35A justified a purchase from the Paramericans. It is certain that this diplomatic fight will continue as the Cortes vote on the appropriation request is expected to occur sometime in late January to early February. |

| However, one of the most highlighted public debates for this month is whether or not these rapid remilitarization and rearmament efforts, costing the government and the nation more than $5 billion dollars for the past year alone, are viable from both a social and an economic perspective. Supporters of the rapid rearming of the nation cite the expanding of national security and 'defensive and offensive capabilities', stating that the Spanish military will and must keep up with the other European powers such as Bayern Kahla and Metropolitan Francais. Most of these voices supporting the rapid rearming of the nation are mainly coming from the right side of the political spectrum. Official government voices, such as Santiago Abascal, the president of the far-right ultranationalist Vox party, continue to voice their support for expanded military funding, calling it 'essential to the independence, sovereignty, and continued survival of the interests of our great nation'. |

| Economists, on the other hand, are mostly divided on whether or not such rearmament efforts are viable for the Spanish economy. At first glance, many would say it isn't viable as billions, and sometimes tens of billions, of dollars and euros are spent on the military every year, mainly for maintenance and acquisition of new arms. However, a substantial amount of economists chipping in their opinion on the issue state that military acquisition of arms, specifically for arms locally produced - such as the Juan Carlos I, the Jose Bravo, and other locally produced arms like the Eurofighter II, are actually contributors to the growth of the national economy. As one economist put it, 'the growth of the defense industry amounts to the growth of worker productivity, which results in a growth of median income, which in turn leads to a massive increase in consumer buying'. For now, however, 61% of the Spanish population think that military rearmament is worth it, most probably thanks to the right-wing's rapid and incessant public propaganda waves, which are usually supportive of nationalistic and militarized ideals. |

UsmanÂ’s Coronation : The New Emir of Sahelia

The results of the GREAT MAJLIS had come out & the vote count revealed that of the 300 attendees of the top secret meeting including the countryÂ’s wealthy business elite, religious elite and the royal Muhammad Clan, 261 voted in favour of Usman being the new Emir after a heated debate.

Several weeks later the results would be announced to the Sahelian public & the news would be spread nationwide via state TV and radio. Following this the coronation ceremony would be organised and would be held in Bamako City, the capital of the Emirate. The ceremony would interrupt all streaming services to broadcast it to as many Sahelians as possible. Thousands of Sahelians living in remote villages would travel to the nearest town with electricity-access to watch the ceremony.

[list]CORONATION CEREMONY[/list]

First, a military parade would be held. Drone cameras would fly above and news helicopters to film the procession as Paramerican and French tanks, missile launching trucks, military transport vehicles, artillery and more drove down the wide Tally Muhammad Boulevard that went through downtown Bamako. Soldiers then came marching down the boulevard in an orderly and majestic manner swinging their left arm from one side to the other. Thousands of spectators cheered & waved Sahelian flags on either side of the boulevard, blocked by barricades and armed police who kept order.

Meanwhile at Bamako Palace, the VIP guests ranging from the powerful Muhammad Clan, the Sufi Imams & Islamic scholars & the wealthy businessmen and their families, all began gathering in the Hall whereby the new Emir would be crowned. Dressed in their finest, thobes, dresses, turbans and headscarves, the most powerful people in the country sat down and waited for the call to be given that it was time to start the ceremony.

Once the military parade was over. The drone cameras & news helicopters would gather outside Bamako Palace. Only a dozen sanctioned journalists & their camera crews were allowed in the palace to film the coronation.

After an hour or so of waiting, the Islamic call to pray known as the Azan would begin being sung. Everyone in the hall would quieten down and listen to the soothing & melodious voice that echoed in the hall.

[list]Allahu Akbar, Allahu AkbarÂ… La ilaha ilallahÂ… (God is Greatest, God is Greatest, There is only one God)[/list]

Immediately following this a carpet would be rolled out leading to the throne in front of the hall. Then, Usman Muhammad made his appearance as he wore a regal white thobe and white turban, golden rings and the finest Oud perfume. He wore kohl on his eyes, a type of mascara for men. On his waist was a scarf belt with a curved sword that had a golden hilt.

When he reached the end of the carpet and stood before the throne, he turned to face the guests and they all stood up.

He would immediately unsheathe his sword and raise it to the air:

[list]"Allahu Akbar!"[/list]

He yelled at the top of his lungs, the guests then responded in unison with:

[list]"Long Live Sahelia!"[/list]

Usman would then sheathe his sword and a Sufi Imam would hand him a Quran. He would hold it with two hands and then sit on the throne. A man standing close to the throne would blow a trumpet to signal the coronation was complete.

The crowd would then stand up and give him a standing ovationÂ

Usman meanwhile, although elated that he had become Emir was still grieving about SuleimanÂ’s death. He was also aware that his coronation was only the beginning, he had a huge responsibility on his handsÂ… he couldnÂ’t be the carefree man he once was beforeÂ…

The Revolution although succeeded in politics it would need to be enforced into public life. The Islamic Morality and Guidance Hisbah would be established days after the Revolution but the Supreme Imam struggled to fill its ranks quickly to enforce the revolution in Urban areas where Counter-Revolutionary activity still takes place. This would lead to the Government seeking out former Islamic insurgents from the Sinai Insurgency conflict. The groups contacted would be:

-Ansar al-Sharia

-Hasm Movement

-Al Furqan Brigades

-Takfir wal-Hijra

These groups once fought the secularist government from the Israeli border to the Suez Canal; many were also experienced guerrilla fighters from fighting Egyptian security forces. 10,000 would be recruited into the Islamic Morality and Guidance Hisbah now commonly just referred to as the Hisbah. |

[list][list][pre]| The role of the Hisbah - دور الحسبة |[/pre][/list][/list]

The Hisbah would soon be rolled out into the streets shortly after the First National Election confirmed the success of the Revolution. They would be established heavily in the cities of Cairo, Alexandria, Mansoura, Port Said, Suez, Luxor, and Aswan with rural areas only having a handful of Hisbah patrolling at any time. They would be tasked with patrolling the streets and markets ensuring Islamic practices are adhered to and that Muslims follow the calls to prayers. The Hisbah would also act as a state militia as the majority were trained guerrilla fighters. They would patrol heavily armed with assault rifles and machine guns to deal with possible attacks by socialists/secularists. They would also be common in border regions to assist border guards and to ensure no contraband enters the nation and to ensure the people are treated fairly under Islamic law and that corruption and bribes do not take place.

This force would be made up of volunteers from the Hisbah and civilians from Shalateen that were trained in Aswan for this mission. There would be 50 men from the Hisbah and 100 volunteers under the command of Magd Eddin al-Masry, a former leader of the Soldiers of Egypt along with 21 men which would be the crew of the YPR-765 PRI armor.

The Force would reach Shalateen at approximately 3am on the night of January 3rd. They would use the cover of darkness to hide them from entering the city. The force would be transported by the 7 Urals with 21 men in each Ural truck; the one M939 truck would transport under tarp the BGM-71 TOW launcher and 3 NSV machine guns. The 7 Ural trucks would be armed with a crudely mounted NSV machine gun which can be disarmed to use later once the trucks get to their designated location. The convoy to enter the Halaib Triangle would be headed by one of the YPR-765 PRI followed by 4 Urals then another YPR-765 PRI with behind them the 3 remaining Urals and the 1 M939 trucks carrying the anti tank weaponry. The convoy would space in between the trucks to prevent collision in case of engagement and an abrupt stop is needed. At 4 Am the orders would be given to drive into the Triangle from the 65 highway south of Shalateen. The force was given in order to shoot on sight any Sudanese forces that stood in their way. All border Sudanese checkpoints would be fired upon by the UralÂ’s NSV machine guns and the YPR-765 PRI 25 mm canons.

ooc disclaimer: Due to the sparse population of the Halaib Triangle google maps isnÂ’t very accurate on locations and due to irl the Halaib Triangle being de facto Egypt, I do not know where the Sudanese checkpoints would be in the timeline. The forces will drive on the 65 highway and Susan can decide where the engagement will be.

10 DOWNING STREET, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia — MORNING

[sub]A cold winterÂ’s day, a slight breeze and a soft blanket of snow covered the busy streets of London. Within the prime ministerÂ’s residence, cabinet members took their respective seats in the conference room awaiting the prime minister to enter. Sporting a blue tie, suit and having his comical yet signature messy blonde hair, Boris Johnson would enter the room where members of his cabinet would cease their chatter. Going to his seat, the prime minister would sit and clear his throat.[/sub]

[list]BORIS JOHNSON, Prime Minister: [sub]”Good morning everybody! Thank you for coming on such short notice! This isn’t uh, our typical meetings but it is an important one! Firstly, as you know, I am a father and a loving husband. It is my responsibility to um, take care of my child and my wife. I’m saying so, they are my number one priority. Which is why I called you all here today to announce my intentions to resign as prime minister.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]A moment of silence would fall in the room. Many would be lost in thought — possibly about losing their jobs as a result of the resignation. After a few moments, Boris would continue talking.[/sub]

[pre]Sahara Desert, Mauritania Region, Sahelia EmirateÂ…[/pre]

[list]Usman had been crowned the Emir of Sahelia just a month prior, during that month he was deeply depressed despite the good news and blessing of being able to rule the country he loved so much. His depression came from the fact that he had been grieving the former EmirÂ’s death, and also because he worried greatly about the direction with which to take the country. He knew he wanted to change Sahelia, he knew he wanted to reform aspects of it. However, he also knew that stability was a fragile thing and one wrong move and he could potentially destroy everything his grandfather Tally Muhammad, the founder had worked to build.[/list]

Since his coronation, he had left the capital of Bamako City and the palace, and chosen to roam the deserts of Mauritania on camelback with a few Sufi Imams he greatly respected. One of them was Imam Hafiz, and the other was Imam Jibril.

[list]As the gentle but scorching winds of the desert blew through causing a smoke to develop in the distance above the dunes, and as the red sun blazed ahead of them, the three men spokeÂ…[/list]

Imam Jibril: A ruler cannot roam the deserts listening to the recitation of the Quran forever, my dear EmirÂ

Emir Usman: IÂ… I knowÂ

Imam Hafiz: It appears even after this month of reflection with us & undertaking your spiritual journey, you still donÂ’t believe you are readyÂ… correct?

Emir Usman: WellÂ… yes. I still have dreams of revolutionising this country, of changing it. My heart tells me it shall improve Sahelia for all its citizens. Yet I fear thatÂ… perhaps it would not please my forefathers to do so. If I proceed with such thoughts how can I be a good Emir?

Imam Jibril: Emir, when you dream of change and reform for Sahelia, you do so with goodness and purity in your heart no? This is a beautiful thing, it is a thing from Allah. One cannot silence the heart. For it calls us to what is true and Allah is truth. To pursue truth Emir, is to pursue God.

Imam Hafiz: Wise words Brother Jibril, may GodÂ’s name be exalted. It is my opinion that you must take the step towards the hard path that is being the ruler of an unruly nation. When Prophet Muhammad took over Medina it was a chaotic city, filled with tribal wars and religious arguments. It was filled with degeneracy and violence. The Prophet did not want to rule, but he was best for the job because his heart was pure.

Emir Usman: So I guess thereÂ’s no way out huhÂ… IÂ’ll just have to do what I believe is right and be willing to deal with the consequences, no matter what that meansÂ

Imam Hafiz: Have faith in yourselfÂ… have faith in God. Perhaps Emir, you shall usher in a Golden Age and if not you, then whoever precedes you. Sahelia shall surely be thankful. Change is not a bad thing in moderation. To be Muslim is to be moderate Emir.

Emir Usman: Thank youÂ… thank you so much my dear ImamsÂ

[list]The three men would then gallop off down a sand dune, with Imam Jibril beginning to recite the Quran in his soft melodious voiceÂ…[/list]

Military Procurement Deal With Royal Navy, MNS Casablanca Commissioned

February, 2026

Casablanca

____________

In a controversial deal with the British Government, the Maghrebi Ministry of Defense has announced 1.2 billion dollars of acquisitions. Decommissioned in 2014, the former HMS Illustrious has remained mothballed in British waters for 12 years. Now, It will be brought to life once again in service of a southern neighbor- the Maghrebi Navy. In a large ceremony on the shores of the Barbary Coast, sailors from both the Maghrebi and British Navy officially commissioned the ship as the MNS Casablanca, flagship of the Maghrebi Navy. The Casablanca is an Invincible-class Light Carrier, measuring in at 209 meters and 22,000 tonnes. It uses a ski-jump style The ship has a capacity of 22 helicopters or aircraft and a complement of 500 marines in addition to 1,000 crew. The Casablanca is armed with 2x 20mm AA Guns and 3x Goalkeeper CIWS. The ship has a maximum speed of 28 knots.

In addition to the Casablanca, the Navy will also acquire 40x British Aerospace Harrier II GR.7 V/STOL strike fighters. The fighters were retired from Royal service along with the Invincible-class and were primarily used aboard them. The Harrier II has a max speed of 662 miles per hour and a service ceiling of 15,000 meters. It has the capacity for an 8,000-pound payload, operating a conventional range of western-designed munitions.

The purchase, approved by the conservative majority of the National Assembly, has been a point of political contention for Maghreb. Opposition voices have been critical of the size of the purchase, citing upfront costs and the eventual maintenance cost of the ship and its complement. Additionally, concerns have been raised in regards to diplomacy. With Spain (New Provenance) undertaking an aggressive rearmament campaign, critics fear the Maghrebi acquisition would raise tensions between the two otherwise cordial countries. Hawks and military leaders have, expectedly, defended it. They say the acquisition cements MaghrebÂ’s position as a regional power in both North Africa and the Mediterranean and functions as a deterrent against foreign threats.

Including the Maghrebi NavyÂ’s two upsized San Giorgio-Class Amphibious transport docks, they can now rapidly deploy as many as 1,400 Marines, with air support from strike craft and attack helicopters.

[sub]Controversial National Security Database Acts[/sub][/list]

PALACE OF WESTMINSTER, WESTMINSTER, LONDON, Canovia — MORNING

[sub]From time to time again, the Conservative Party has publicly mentioned the need for “new” and “effective” domestic security measures as their pledge to deter and reduce crime within the United Kingdom was a major priority for the government. With a phenomenal increase of new police officers primarily within English and Wales — there were still noticeable problems with law enforcement, mostly in London where knife-crime continues to be frequent and rising. Under former Home Secretary Priti Patel, crime was slightly reduced in several major cities since her police recruitment programme was introduced. New Home Secretary Chris Philp upon the House floor would announce his new proposals of updating the National Security Database — requiring British citizens to be documented on the National Database for national security and other purposes.[/sub]

[list]CHRIS PHILP, Home Secretary: [sub]”In order to deter and reduce crime in our nation, we must take an effective approach on stopping criminals in our streets. We have done much, but still not enough. Crimes in London, Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester, Liverpool and all our other major hubs are still plagued with juvenile and unacceptable activities. We have increased our police force, but they still need to get the necessary resources to do their jobs effectively. This is why I am proposing the National Security Database Acts, which will help out police capture criminals with little to no effort. The update of CCTV will ensure all criminal activities are caught clearly and to deter any criminal acts on the streets. This proposal also considers face recognition to easier identify suspects and victims. This is to see the reduction of crimes in our streets and to ensure law and order is maintained so our cities, towns and our nation can remain safe.”[/sub][/list]

[sub]As the National Security Database Acts was in process of decision — the piece of legislation was amongst the first and possible most controversial piece in the SUNAK I cabinet.[/sub]

The Force of 171 men convoyed through the Eastern desert following the buses that have left Aswan heading to the frontier of Egyptian town of Shalateen a man-made oasis in the desert right next to the Egyptian-Sudanese border a once disputed border but was let go by the secularists in a moment of weakness and cowardice. This force would be made up of volunteers from the Hisbah and civilians from Shalateen that were trained in Aswan for this mission. There would be 50 men from the Hisbah and 100 volunteers under the command of Magd Eddin al-Masry, a former leader of the Soldiers of Egypt along with 21 men which would be the crew of the YPR-765 PRI armor.

The Force would reach Shalateen at approximately 3am on the night of January 3rd. They would use the cover of darkness to hide them from entering the city. The force would be transported by the 7 Urals with 21 men in each Ural truck; the one M939 truck would transport under tarp the BGM-71 TOW launcher and 3 NSV machine guns. The 7 Ural trucks would be armed with a crudely mounted NSV machine gun which can be disarmed to use later once the trucks get to their designated location. The convoy to enter the Halaib Triangle would be headed by one of the YPR-765 PRI followed by 4 Urals then another YPR-765 PRI with behind them the 3 remaining Urals and the 1 M939 trucks carrying the anti tank weaponry. The convoy would space in between the trucks to prevent collision in case of engagement and an abrupt stop is needed. At 4 Am the orders would be given to drive into the Triangle from the 65 highway south of Shalateen. The force was given in order to shoot on sight any Sudanese forces that stood in their way. All border Sudanese checkpoints would be fired upon by the UralÂ’s NSV machine guns and the YPR-765 PRI 25 mm canons.

ooc disclaimer: Due to the sparse population of the Halaib Triangle google maps isnÂ’t very accurate on locations and due to irl the Halaib Triangle being de facto Egypt, I do not know where the Sudanese checkpoints would be in the timeline. The forces will drive on the 65 highway and Susan can decide where the engagement will be.

[pre]January, 2026 | Shalateen Sudan, South Of The Border - State Of Red Sea, United Federal Republic of Sudan[/pre]

Hala'ib Al-Sudaniya

At a border checkpoint between the Sudanese - Egyptian border say two border guards watching over the Highway 65 road that serves as the only main access into the Sudan through the Red Sea. One guard stood outside lighting a cigarette while the other sat inside a booth reading a book almost falling asleep. Then out of nowhere the quiet night would be rudely interrupted by the sound of a loud NSV machine gun tearing through the as the gunshots could be heard for miles. Guard number 2 would find himself at full attention as he crouches beneath the desk. He crawls towards the door area while making sure his hands were near his holster. As he reached the door he saw the other guard laying there in a pool of blood as bullets seemed to have penetrated and torn through every inch of his body. The guard frantically runs inside, grabs a hold of the radio as he frantically calls for all nearby patrol units of the Red Sea State Patrol (RSSP) in the area.

[list]Border Guard Ummaiyd :| "THIS IS BORDER GUARD UMMAYID DEEN BADGE NUMBER 50663. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK AT CHECKPOINT 65. I REPEAT WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. BRING IN THE ARM-"[/list]

Ummayd's frantic distress call had been cut short by the sound of yet another burst of rapid gun fire and shattered glass, all of which was herd by everyone listening into the radio. A patrol car driving up the road on Highway 65 was listening in. The patrol cars consisting of two state officers. Their eyes widened and heart beats picked up in page upon hearing the machine gun on the radio. After much arguing amongst the officers, the police officer on the wheel was determined to investigate as he turned the sirens on and sped down the road. Upon reaching the scene, 2 other patrol cars would accompany them as they made their way to the border with blue lights seem from the distance.

By now the Sudanese part of Shalateen would wake up the sound of sirens and gunfire as people began panicking. By then the patrol cars would arrive to the scene only to find themselves in the line of fire. The first car would be blown up by the bullets ripping through the car and the officers sending orange flames into the night sky. The other two would immideatly put it in reverse while calling for back-up. In the town. An inhabitant would video the flames and the sound of gun fire and sirens heard from his house. He would immideatly send that video to a relative of his who was a high ranking official at the Port Dungunan Naval Base some 270km south of the scene. The relative who happens to be awake was shocked by the video thinkong it was some conflict in Lebanon, but his relative's voice calling for help would confirm this was an attack on Sudanese Soil. in the presence of Admiral Ehab Yasoon, Admiral of the Sudanese Naval Forces, he was showed the video which was received with the same amount shock.

Given his power and oath to the Republic to take immideat action, he sends an order to Captain Jaioul Fendy of the Comandanti-class Offshore Patrol Vessel, the SNS Kassala fitted with one Oto Melara 76/62 mm SR (Super Rapido) gun and two OTO Melara KBA 25/80 mm guns. The Kassala currently sitting about 20km east of Senouris on the Hala'ib coast to was ordered to dispatch one NHIndustries SH-90 Medium-lift Transport Helicopter towards the scene to investigate.

Within minutes the SH-90 Helicopter would be up in the air as it made it's way along the coast. By 4:40 the helicopter has spotted the convoy as it flies parallel to the coast hanging 20ft above the ground and 7km east of the highway.

[list]Naval Co-Pilot of The SH-90 :|"Two APCs, 8 Trucks. Unknown number of personal but they seemed heavily Armed. One truck appears different than the others. 3 patrol cars responding to a call earlier at the border are torched. Possibly 6 officers down."[/list]

The co-pilot relayed the information back to the naval command back in the SNS Kassala and Port Dungunab as they watched the live filmed footage from the helicopter. After further understanding the situation, Yasoon would then get in contact with Lieutenant General Alriah Taoud of the Sudanese Air Force to have him despatch two A129 Mangusta Attack Helicopters from Port Dungunab Joint Naval and Air Base to intercept the hostile convoy.

The A129 Mangusta Armaments:

1× 20 mm (0.787 in) M197 three-barrel Gatling-type cannon (500 rounds) in a TM197B Light Turreted Gun System

76× 70 mm (2.75 in) unguided rocketsÂ

By 5AM the country would wake up to start their daily routine only to be caught off guard by the footage taken of the gunfire and sirens in Shalateen that has gone viral on Sudanese social media within the last hour or so. Back in Khartoum, Prime Minister Naji was already aware of the situation since he had woken up for morning prayers. He would be debriefed on the attack by the Defense Minister on Sudan from the north as he was brought up to date on the info. Admiral Yasoon, Captain Fendy, Lieutenant General Taoud and other high ranking members of the other branches of the Sudanese Armed Forces would all join a virtual meeting as the Prime Minister was then confronted with a choice to make.

Just a few kilometers north before the entrance into Senouris, a barricade has been set up by the Sudanese Land Armed Forces (SLAF) and Red Sea State Patrol Units. As they blocked the entirety of the road

The Barricade:

2x - BOV M16 Milos MRAP each fitted with 12.7 mm machine guns

6x - Mitsubishi L200 RSSP Truck

18x - SLAF and RSSP Units each fitted with Beretta ARX160 Assault rifle

Each unit would be pointing their guns at the direction of the convoy as they awaited their arrival ready to unload, above them, the two A129 Helicopters would fly by past them at a speed of 130mph. After a whole the convoy would come in full view as the pilots prepare for battle. They now await the orders to engage from the Prime Minister.

Centrist progressive Ciudadanos pledges to increase military funding for FY 2026 to $20 billion or more ahead of May elections

| The far-right parties of Spain's legislature, the Vox party in particular, have been touting and supporting a serious and substantial increase in military funding for the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Spain for fiscal year 2026. Among the top proponents of this are Santiago Abascal, the party leader of the ultranationalist Vox party, as well as top members of the Armed Forces General Staff and centrist Prime Minister Augustina Torres's Cabinet of Ministers. Defense Minister Andrea Levy Soler and Interior Minister Ione Belarra expressed interest in supporting a military funding increase for FY 2026 that surpassed an addition of $2.5 billion dollars or more to the military budget, but made no commitments. However, according to sources both inside Vox and from right-wing supporters, the right-wing have already promised to voters that they plan to increase funding to over $25 billion for FY 2026, representing a massive $7 billion increase in funding. |

| The centrist progressive Ciudadanos, or Citizens, party, led by incumbent Prime Minister Augustina Torres (2024-), has recently been lacking behind in polls being held ahead of the upcoming May midterm parliamentary elections. Many political analysts and politicians alike claim that this election will either break Prime Minister Torres's groundbreaking agenda for 2026 to 2028 or ensure that the Torres administration's legislation move through the Cortes Generales - Spain's legislature - smoothly. In order to attempt to sweep voters away from the right-wing ahead of the midterm elections in May, Prime Minister Augustina Torres announced that her Ciudadanos party will be pledging to increase military funding for FY 2026 to $20 billion or more. |

[list]| Augustina Torres, Prime Minister of Spain | [sub]". . . In light of recent events both locally and abroad, it is clear to me and to the party that a substantial increase of funding for the Spanish Armed Forces is needed to both ensure the security of both the country and above all the people of Spain. Our military has long been regarded as one of the most underfunded armed forces in Europe, and it is in my best interests that our government changes that as soon as possible. I promise to you all, fellow Spaniards, that my party will support any and all efforts by our honorable Government to increase funding for the Armed Forces. Our nation should and will take national security very seriously, and I assure you we will ensure your and your family's safety. Viva Espana!"[/sub] [/list]

| The far-right, controversially, criticized the centrists for 'only now pledging to support noble efforts to ensure Spain's continued sovereignty and national security', with Vox party leader Santiago Abascal going as far as calling the centrists 'currently leading our country to doom' as 'non-Spaniards' and 'isolationists'. However, many have seen these comments by the right-wing as opposing the very promises they have made, and will most certainly have an effect on the final result of the elections in May of this year. |

[list][list][pre]| The Battle of Senouris - معركة سنوريس |[/pre][/list][/list]

The convoy would be strafed heavily by the Sudanese A129 Mangusta knocked out 2 Urals. During these strafes due to their low altitude the A129 Mangusta’s would be fired upon by the NSV machine guns mounted on the Urals remaining. As they got closer to the barricade the forces commander would consult the map given to him. He identified a cluster of buildings 1.59km Northwest of the main intersection that would bring you into the town of Senouris. They would quickly disembark as fast as they were trained too and would quickly dismount the remaining eight NSV machine guns and set them up in the windows of the building clusters with 5 facing Senouris and having sight of the barricade. The remaining 3 NSV would be set to watch the perimeter of the building cluster now referred to as Halaib FOB 1 {Coordinates: 22°23’34”N 36°22’38”E} using rubble the force would set up the BGM-71 TOW to strike any Sudanese army that could attempt to counter the Halaib FOB 1. Defending Halaib FOB 1 would house a surviving force of 150. A ambush force of 15 highly trained Hisbah would be tasked with cutting off Sudanese reinforcements to Senouris by trekking through the Halaib Desert south of Halaib FOB 1 by 2.4 miles {Coordinates: 22°21’56”N 36°24’05”E} to another abandoned cluster of buildings. This ambush force would use their low profile as it being a small group to hike through the dried river beds to avoid detection by Sudanese forces. They would be armed with 2 M60EA light machine guns, 13 SIG 552 assault rifles, and 2 RPG-7 with PG-7VR Tandem Charge HEAT rockets to strike Sudanese vehicles attempting to reinforce the force in Senouris.

Halaib FOB 1 would be staffed with 35 defenders who would begin firing bursts of 10 rounds down range towards the Sudanese Barricade. Due to the range the bursts would be rather inaccurate but would mostly be used to suppress the barricade as 100 fighters would begin to push the town following behind the three YPR-765 PRI who would also fire upon Sudanese vehicles and defense structures will the 100 push behind them.

As Egyptian military officials received constant info on how the small force is progressing in the triangle the 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron would be readied to strike Sudanese military personnel along with a E-2 Blackhawk AEW&C to provide surveillance of the Halaib Triangle Coast and air for Sudanese naval and aerial movements.

[sub]- 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron numbers and armaments for the Halaib Strike mission -[/sub]

-15X F-16 Fighting Falcon in total-

-10X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 6 AIM-9 Sidewinder air-air missiles

-2X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 2 Harpoon Anti-ship missiles

-3X F-16 Fighting Falcons armed with M61 Vulcan Canons and 6 AGM-65 Maverick air-surface missiles

The 68th Tactical Fighter Squadron would

be tasked with gaining air superiority over the Halaib Triangle after receiving news of the Sudanese attack helicopters striking the convoy. With a top speed of Mach 2 {~1500mph} the 68th TFS would be able to reach the Halaib Triangle in a matter of minutes to intercept and take down the A129 Mangusta whose top speed is 219mph. Would be the target along with Sudanese surveillance helicopters for the 10 F-16 armed with Air-Air missiles.

The two F-16s armed with the harpoon anti-ship missile would use AN/APG-68 radar to detect the presence of the SNS-Kassala who would become the target of two 488lb warhead Harpoon Missiles. These two missiles would be fired approximately 85 miles away once the 2 F-16 armed with them reached the Airspace of Shalateen.

The ground support portion of the 68th TFS would begin search and destroy for all Sudanese Armor in the Halaib Triangle. This portion would be protected by the 2 Anti-ship F-16 as they have already fired two of their four missiles leaving them free to provide support for the anti-armor force. The 10 Anti-Air F-16 would soon once destroying the Sudanese helicopters as much as possible would regroup with the rest and they would patrol the skies of the Halaib Triangle.

As the 68th TFS would take off for their mission the 305th Mechanized Brigade stationed in Aswan would be mobilized to soon push into the Halaib triangle. While this would be the rapid deployment force for this conflict the 116th Mechanized Brigade and 117th Mechanized Brigade stationed in Assiut would begin move south once the 305th reached the Triangle.

- Numbers of the 305th Mechanized Brigade -

-5,000x Egyptian Army Ground Troops {Armed with M4A1 and AK-104 for rifles, Colt M1911 for the standard issue side arm, RPK and PKPs for light machine guns, and M40A3 for snipers} and accompanying transport trucks

-35x BM-21 MLRS

-100x M1 Abrams

-300x HMMWV

-50x T-90

-50x AT-14 Spriggan

The 305th Mechanized Brigade would take multiple days to make its way down south and would be heading for Shalateen to soon occupy the Halaib Triangle, but would be halted in Shalateen till the situation is clear.

| Miserable, miserable would be the word to describe the current state of affairs for the men of the 15th Raider Regiment of the South Afrikan Navy, these men belonging to Sköll Company specifically. The men were currently stationed at a forward operating base along the outskirts of the Okavango Delta, normally that wouldn’t be so bad as every combat operations unit in the Royal South Afrikan Military does a rotation through the area at one point of the year or the other. However, regardless of the unit or what situation they may be in, they will all agree that the wet season in the region makes it even worse. Not only that, but today was Independence Day for South Afrika, so many of the men in Sköll company were disgruntled they couldn’t celebrate, ‘disgruntled’ would be a way of putting it mildly, as many of the men within the company were currently sitting outside of their barracks, on one of the occasional days that it didn’t rain. Most of them talking about life back home or even talking about politics, others talking about current ongoings within the company and the regiment itself. |

[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | “Why do you have to ask that? You know what the answer will be.” Private Thabani replies, while he is playing a game of chess with Lance Korporal Burgin, causing the others sitting around to laugh, as Harkin asked a pretty dumb question.[/list]

[list]| Pte. Konnor Harkins: | “Come on Siph, ‘m just curious. I know I am, been lookin’ forward to see ma girl again.” His words caused the Zulu to sigh while the other men chuckle, as Harkins was in a relationship with Sipho’s older sister, who was 5 years senior of the young 19 year old sailor.[/list]

[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | “Don’t remind me, I don’t need to remember that one time at the hotel.” A lot of the men fell silent, as they didn’t know what was being implied.[/list]

[list]| Pte. Konnor Harkins: | “Ya ‘eard that?.” Harkins asks, going slightly pale.[/list]

[list]| Pte. Sipho Thabani: | “Everyone heard that, why do you think my father looks at you with anger every time you come to the house?” Those words being said, all the men around them start laughing uncontrollably, as they now realize what was being implied. Harkins looked down at the ground before going back to cleaning his weapon, making some laugh harder as the discussion was completely dropped with those words.[/list]

| While the men sat around, one of the company corpsmen arrived and was carrying a small lion cub under one arm and his rifle in the other. This was Senior Corpsmen, Kain Hertzog, one of the older men in the company but that wasnÂ’t saying much as he was only 27. All the talking amongst the group of men stopped when they saw the lion cub he was holding, as taking a lion cub from its mother was illegal by law in South Afrika, a very serious law in fact. |

[list]| LKpl. Nikolas Burgin: | “For the love of the gods, do not tell me ya stole it.” The lance korporal says, completely forgetting the chess match with Thabani upon seeing the cub.[/list]

[list]| SCmn. Kain Hertzog: | “That’s a negative, lance korporal, I found him wandering outside the wire and crying. Waited for mom to show up, but she won’t be showing up.” Words went unsaid, that all of the men knew that the mother was likely dead or had abandoned the cub.[/list]

[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | “Looks like we found a mascot, doesn’t it, boys?” Men who aren’t cleaning weapons snap to their feet, as the most senior NCO of the company walks around the corner of the barracks.

“At ease, boys, at ease.” The men then relax and sit back down while others stay standing in a more relaxed posture. Kruger was about to say more when another soldier arrived, noticing the cub but not commenting as he looks to Kruger.[/list]

[list]| Kpl. Victor Van Janse: | “Gunny, there’s a guy with a truck at the front gate, ya gonna wanna see this.” Kruger nods his head before looking to the men and giving them a respectful nod, then starts walking away with Janse.[/list]

~ Front Gate of F.O.B Fólkvangr ~

| Reaching the front gate, Kruger saw that two other troopers were talking with a man who was standing off to the side of a truck, obviously keeping him where he was by standing on either side of him. Looking away from that, he walks to the truck as Janse motions to the back of it, walking around and looking inside he sees the bodies of three lions, none of them have hunting tags in their ears either. A sense of disgust comes over Kruger, but he holds back judgement as he turns from the truck and walks over to the two troopers with the man. |

[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | “Good day sir, mind explaining why you have three dead lions in the back of your truck?” He asks the man, expecting him to lie or at least play it off somehow, as killing lions out of season and especially without tags is a very heavy offense in the eyes of the law. Not only that, but should the man be ousted as a poacher in the system, they have every right to kill him on the spot.[/list]

[list]| Man: | “I have a license to hunt lions, given to me by the government.” The man says, taking his wallet from his back pocket and handing it to Kruger, who then hands it to Janse.[/list]

[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | “Run these through the system, Korporal.” Janse nods before walking away to check the man's licenses or whatever other forms of I.D. he may have, Kruger turns his eyes back to the truck and walks to the driver's side and opens the door. His eyes widened at seeing what appeared to be an original Vektor model R1 rifle sitting in the passenger seat. Reaching over and grabbing the rifle, he brings it out of the truck and looks at it and sure enough it’s an original R1, with the fully automatic still operational. Turning, he walks back to the man as owning a fully automatic weapon is illegal for civilians, unless they get a license for it.

“You have a license for this as well?” Before the man can respond, Janse comes walking back out, without the wallet in hand.[/list]

[list]| Kpl. Victor Van Janse: | “Three time convicted felon, thievery, assault and a sex crime as well. No valid hunting licenses of any kind, which means poaching. The licenses he had in his wallet were fake or invalid, as they were supplied by the NDF… Our enemy.” The man looked at Janse, then at the rest of them with disgust before spitting at the one soldier, which he was rewarded with by a buttstock to the side of the head. Falling to the ground, the two troopers kicked him to keep him down.[/list]

[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | “Do to him what he did to those lions, then put his head on a pike when you’re done.” The two troopers nod to him as they continue to beat the man into a submission before dragging him away. Looking back to Janse, he hands him the R1.

“Keep it, he won’t be using it any longer.”[/list]

| Van Janse nods to Kruger as he holds the old Vektor R1 in one hand as they start walking back to the main camp area, hearing the pained screams of the poacher who is likely being tortured by the two troopers that dragged him away. This type of thing was eerily common at Fólkvangr, poachers that would try and easily come through the base with fake or doctored documents, only to fail and realize that the RSAIN has some of the best document checking technology in the country. While they walk, Kruger pulls a pack of ‘Okavango River Reds’ from a pocket on his uniform. Offering one of the red tobacco cigarettes to Van Janse, who uses his free hand to take one from the pack, stopping momentarily so Kruger can light it. |

[list]| CGsgt. Alfred Kruger: | “I hope this war ends soon, the NDF has been a thorn in our side for too damn long. Doesn’t help that the politicians back home are trying to keep this war off the global scale hence why we are taking things so slow, don’t want every smug ass American and entitled European sticking their noses into our business. This will be a war that we keep to the shadows, and in the shadows it will stay.” [/list]

End of part one, as this will be a multiple part series surrounding the 15th Regiment, kind of like a more bloody and dark Band or Brothers or even Pacific, but in real IC time.[/spoiler]

Warsaw is Overhauled

With the Law and Order party taking supermajority in the Sejm, PM Mateusz Moraweicki had met with his cabinet and with a vote of 400-60, the Senate of Poland would be abolished with a change to the 1997 constitution. Said constitution had reinstated the Senate after over 50 years of unicameralism. PiS argued that since the nation got along just fine that the Senate would be formally abolished and all 100 senators would either be given a separate government job or they would find themselves a job in the public sector. Most almost immediately found work via companies that had donated to their campaigns while a couple stayed back. The PiS senatorial leadership soon became a secondary advisory board to the President. Under the wishes of President Andrzej Duda, Poland also would abolish the role of Prime Minister and Mateusz Moraweicki would become Vice President of Poland, Wiceprezydent, With Moraweicki becoming VP, concerns were issued regarding the new VP's works and roles in which President Duda would reassure that the two men shared the same vision for Poland or else President Duda would've chosen a different VP The leader of the Sejm would retain it's title and Elżbieta Witek would remain Marshal of the Sejm. President Duda also would congratulate PM Rishi Sunak and would soon invite him to Poland to reaffirm the great relationship between the Polish and British nations.
