SEPTEMBER 10TH 2024

USP PUTS SANCTIONS ON EGYPT, EGYPTIAN CURRENCY IN FREEFAL. EL-AZAD RAMPS UP NATIONALIZATIONS. PARAMERICANS REFUSE TO LEAVE BASES.

The imposition of American sanctions that forbid the movement of any Egyptian money through its financial system has been devastating to Egypt's economic and currency system. Overnight the Egyptian pound lost 8% of its value and this morning it lost another 3% right after markets opened. Millions of Egyptians have had their savings devastated and the price of imported goods including food has gone up. While the US sacntions will not result in a complete inability of Egypt to trade in dollars, it will make transferring money out of the country exceedingly difficult if European banks follow suit and sever communications with Egyptian banks. Protests in Cairo and Memphis resulted in clashes between pro and anti government demonstrators, though in nearly all clashes it was reported that the pro-government demonstrators outnumbered the anti-government ones. The government in response to the American sanctions has expelled all Paramericans except those doing diplomatic work in Egypt. The state of the American troops in bases in Egypt is unchanged, with the Egyptian Army maintaining its positions around US bases. The US now has two days to leave Egypt or supply shipments to the bases will stop, along with electricity and water. American aircraft at airbases have also been warned not to take off for any purpose except to leave Egypt.

The Egyptian navy in the Mediterranean was put on the highest alert as the US prepares its sixth fleet for potential action. The Egyptian Navy has insisted to foreign reporters that it is "fully capable" of destroying one or multiple Paramerican carriers should Egypt be attacked by the United States. El-Azad has stressed the necessity of "mutually beneficial relationships" and stated that "Egypt is only interested in fair deals with the US, it will not have agreements imposed on it."

El-Azad has declared that the entire financial system to be nationalized to deal with the crisis, a much faster nationalization of the system than El-Azad would prefer. It is, however, preferable to the alternative of just letting the system disintegrate. The government take over of currency exchanges in the midday has resulted in a slower decline in the value of Egypt's pound as the mass selling is stemmed at least in Egypt. It is too soon for the average Egyptian to feel the effects of the crisis yet, but as the "sharks of imperialism" as El-Azad likes to term them circle Egypt within days of his coup, it remains to be seen how stable his government actually is.

Juba, State Of Central Equatoria, The Republic Of Sudan

September, 2024 - The Union Deal

Juba, formerly the center of the southern resistance against Bashir's government has now become the center of South Sudan's economy. A growing city with colored bright roofs stretching to the edges of the bright lush green grasslands surrounding the green city. Towers reaching the sky plotted throughout the city landscape, a symbol and hint of progress in this region. It's streets are paved and clean thanks to the environmentalist city government that has made it the city's mission to keep Juba a standard for Sudanese cities to be clean and environmentally friendly.

Juba is now the setting for a meeting between the leaders of the two largest political parties in Sudan. Prime Minister Salva Kiir, current leader of the Liberal Party had requested a one on one meeting with former Prime Minister and current leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Hatim Al-Sir in the Juba Towers Hotel within the city. The meeting was requested on the basis that now with the Declaration of Insan, a growing number of the Sudanese people have become more open to allowing Uganda into the nation as well as an increasing faction amongst the Sudanese right wing who see Uganda as the first step to expanding the shining light of Sudanese democracy upon the African continent and putting the interests and security of the Sudanese way of life. And so it was determined that a meeting had to take place to hammer out a deal with the opposition DUP who have been so far reluctant to move ahead with the aftermath of the referendum that has shown the majority of Ugandans wanting to be Sudanese.

Kiir waited in a balcony on the 9th floor of the Juba Towers Hotel, he dressed casual and without his iconic cowboy hat. He sat there drinking tea while swiping through his tablet checking the news. He was in Juba for a vacation away from the loud chaotic noises of the Presidential Palace back in Khartoum. The hotel was tall enough to provide a clear view of the White Nile reflecting the sun light as it flew through the city and the sprawling suburbs expanding east of the Nile. He was then informed of Al-Sir's arrival. He motions his security to let him in.

[list]PM Salva Kiir :| "Please come in, sit my friend. Would you want coffee?"

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "Oh no thanks Prime Minister, I'm more of a tea guy. How are you?"

PM Salva Kiir :| "oh I'm... fine thank you. So I'm sure you are aware of why I asked you here."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "of course, like you said, you need all 3 parties to agree to a deal to allow Uganda in. And obviously Mosley and his party of... fascists... are all for expanding territory so all you have left is to convince me."

PM Salva Kiir :| "well yes obviously. I'm also aware that a growing number of your own party members support the idea, those predominantly from the south."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "support? More like threatened to create their own southern chapter of the party if I don't agree. You know this is ridiculous what we are doing. Like how could we go beyond the borders of Sudan, that referendum has alone installed some sort of imperialistic tendencies in the Sudanese people. All for what? So you have a better chance to win the election?"

PM Salva Kiir :| "I'm... not running Hatim. It's better for me and my party to not run in the elections. Old age you know, health concerns. My doctor says I need to watch myself with stress, kind of impossible haha."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "oh... You aren't running? Does that mean you are resigning from the Party's leadership as well?"

PM Salva Kiir :| "I am indeed, I'm already in talks with the Deputy Minister about this. He says the Party has to choose between the young Revolutionary Hero Naji Al-Assam or the former ambasador to Kenya Deng Acuil. Before the Gallan take over."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "is that so? Heh. Youngsters... look at this Kiir, getting old and tired of politics. The next generation probably doesn't remember Bashir's regime as well as we do. Hell that monster is dead too. Hamdok is retired, so is Nageeb. The Mahdi's dead and so is Mirghani..."

PM Salva Kiir :| "God Bless the Republic Mr. Al-Sir. For I have hope in the younglings of this nation. I have hope in their future."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "yeah... which is why I have given it some thought. Uganda's river sources is very valuable to Sudan. We cannot allow hostility and evil to put Their rope around their neck. Hell we can't allow evil to grow. I am willing ti hear your proposition on Uganda."

PM Salva Kiir :| "I'm glad that you see the trouble we are dealing with. Our country must be safe indeed but we must be United. And so here are the 4 points I wish to present to you. Point 1. North Sudan will be created as a 3rd autonomous regionid Sudan with a regional government and representative in the council along with Uganda. Point 2. Given the wide spread availability of Arabic speakers in the south and Darfur, it is important to make Arabic mandatory within Uganda. Point 3. Uganda will be divided into 12 new states from the 4 states it originally had so that it's better to separate political, religious, and ethnic ideologies. And finally, point 4. Uganda just be subject to the complete laws of the Republic as full integration in infrastructure, education, business, and politics must be made."

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "that actually sounds great but I also want to propose an official union. As you know this union can be more than just Sudan and Uganda. Obviously we have north and south, Darfur, and in the future inshallah we'll have Uganda. 4 somewhat autonomous regional governments within a larger more unified republic. Not to mention that Sudan is made of 31 federal states with separate courts, governments, and laws. Like look at Central Equatoria. A state that quite frankly preserved its natural beauty and cleanliness to say Khartoum for example."

PM Salva Kiir :| "you want to create a Union of Sudan as a whole? Like the United States?"

MP Al-Sir (DUP-Red Sea) :| "well yes but more like a United Federal Republic that consists of the federal systems of the United States and Germany and many other Democratic Republics. This would promote a United national identity. A stronger government but with even stronger states. Increase co-operation and competition between the 31 states, 43 with the 12 Ugandan states. You already have the blue print for the incorporation of Uganda and we have the blue print for our Unified Republic. This would be the deal of the decade for Sudan, your legacy. What do you say Prime Minister?"[/list]

The Deal of the Union it was called by the media and other government officials as well membets of the public. That deal was made a reality following that meeting in Juba. Both sides have finally agreed on a great leap forward for the Sudanese people. Though the deal was finally planned out with efforts being made to promote national unity and patriotism for the Republic that has blessed this nation with the one of best standards of living in Africa as well as the blessings of liberty and safety, it was agreed by both sides that the Deal will not be made into full affect as it required the entry of Uganda in the form of the Union Deal Act (UDA)

Union Deal Act:

With a vote of 154 YES to 23 NO in the National Assembly and a vote of 60 YES to 4 NO in the Council of States thus officially passed by the Sudanese Parliament, the Union Deal Act seeks the integration of the Ugandan Republic into what will become knows as the United Federal Republic of Sudan as well as the further integration of the nation as a whole United by the great Sudanese quest and identity in their great pride and love for the Republican democratic ideals. The Act also includes granting the head of state the title of President Of The Sudanese Union from their previously held title of Prime Minister. The Sudanese Parliament had however made it clear that the UDA would only become completely official once the Ugandan Government itself with the blessings of its own people also pass the Union Deal which makes it the first time in Sudanese history that an Act of Parliament required approval from a foreign nation. This was made to insure that Uganda would confirm to the 4 points and other ideals and procedures required to them by Khartoum before beginning the officIal merge into Sudan.

(I'll post declaration of the Union somewhere between September - January)

Spanish independent space program takes to the skies with historic first suborbital space launch

| Earlier today, history was made when the ES-1 Kingfisher suborbital research and development vehicle (SRDV) launched from Launchpad E at the Magellan Spaceflight Center at El Arenosillo, in southern Spain. The Spanish independent space program, the Instituto Nacional de Aeronautica (INDA) was formed in mid-2024, following the announcement of renewed government funding and support for the now defunct INTA space agency. Over the next few months, the space program began establishing offices, headquarters, research and development offices, and test facilities to prepare for the next stage of the program: suborbital sounding rocket launches. The launch site chosen for this was the previously named El Arenosillo launch complex in southern Spain, between Huelva and Cadiz. The facility was previously used by INTA to launch their INTA-255, INTA-300, and INTA-100 sounding rockets, as well as their Capricorno experimental rocket. By the early 2000s, the facility was abandoned after repeated budget cuts dealt numerous blows to the space agency's capabilities to maintain regular scientific experimental launches. In 2007, all launches were cancelled and INTA existed only on paper from then on. |

| Sometime in summer 2024, the Spanish government under Prime Minister Augustina Torres announced a renewed funding allocation for the newly formed Insituto Nacional de Aeronautica (INDA) of $1.1 billion USD annually, a massive increase from INTA's $100 million USD annual budget. This expanded allocation plan allowed INDA to develop the INDA-1 and now ES-1 Kingfisher sounding rocket at a rapid pace, assisted by the Spanish Air Force who had been working on the project since January 2024, authorized by the previous Sanchez administration. The Air Force had been developing the ES-X sounding rocket since January mainly as part of a study into downrange suborbital flights to test the safety of an orbital trajectory from El Arenosillo, but the ES-X program was also developed as part of a secondary design study on missile technology. Although INDA's involvement in the program later in the year prevented the ES-X - now ES-1 Kingfisher - from being used for the development of long-range missile technology, the military is rumored to be working on a top-secret missile program reportedly called Trayectoria. By early August, three ES-1 prototype rockets had been manufactured, but none tested. Time constraints prevented the rigorous testing procedures that INDA planned to place their rockets under in the future, as the government in Madrid expected a first launch success in September. |

| On September 4, photos were released by INDA of the first prototype ES-1 Kingfisher, named ES-1A. The 10-meter tall, 0.44-meter wide rocket stood proudly on the launchpad, painted in black and white, with the Spanish coat of arms painted in gold, although the design was simplified to reduce the time needed to paint it. The aerodynamic fins of the sounding rocket were painted bright yellow to increase visibility. A 12-meter utility boom supported the rocket's weight, and numerous wires and tubes connected the rocket to the Main Utility Unit (MUU) that snaked along the back of the boom, connecting the rocket to a network of ground wires that then linked all of this to a Central Ground Control Unit (CGCU) that oversaw communications, telemetry, and ground telemetry observer units. The sounding rocket had a static fire test in September 7, three days before the first launch window of the month. The test went successfully, and all systems began a 48 hour reboot and triple-checking procedure to ensure all electronic and digital systems were ready for the historic launch. |

| The dawn of September 10 saw hundreds of politicians, engineers, scientists, and investors arrive at the El Arenosillo site for the historic launch. Among the guest list of VIPs were Prime Minister Augustina Torres, PSOE party leader Pedro Sanchez, Spanish military commander General Miguel Villarroya, and INDA Director José Piqueres. News correspondents from various Spanish news agencies and organizations were also in attendance, as well as hired photographers and cinematographers equipped with 4K, high definition cameras stationed around Launchpad E. At approximately 8:29AM local time, the loudly chattering crowds went silent as the two Meteoro-class offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) engaged their high definition live tracking cameras 2 kilometers from the coastline. As the seconds counted down, the atmosphere around the audience in several designated viewing sites scattered across the space center. |

| At precisely 8:30AM local time, the solid rocket booster powering the first stage ignited, and a plume of smoke engulfed the rocket, before the clamps and wires dropped down and the rocket screamed into the skies. Cheers and applause erupted from the viewing sites as the sounding rocket accelerated to Mach 1 within fifteen seconds and hit Max-Q - the moment the vehicle experiences the most amount of aerodynamic resistance and pressure - within 45 seconds from launch. As the ES-1A cruised past 5,000 meters, or 5 kilometers, the solid rocket booster (SRB) shutdown and was separated, before a liquid hydrogen engine ignited to continue the flight to space. Throughout all of this, Mission Control maintained full communications status with the rocket in order to ensure all vital components such as the engine, telemetry unit, and fuel lines remained intact. As the crowds began to murmur a few minutes later, loudspeakers dispersed across the space center announced that the sounding rocket was approaching the Karman Line, better known as the boundary between the upper atmosphere and space. As the countdown ticked and ticked, the crowds fell into silence once more, as the altimeter continued screaming upwards, one second reading 90,000 meters and the next 93,543 meters. |

| "This is Ground Control, telemetry and altimeter data confirms ES-1A has crossed the Karman Line" echoed the voice from the loudspeaker. Cheers erupted immediately, and millions of Spaniards watching the launch from home celebrated in the wake of the historic success. Although the launch wasn't Spain's first into suborbital space, it marked a historic and influential turning point for the Citizens Party of Augustina Torres, for the better. 1080p camera views were received by ground communications stations moments after, and the live feed of the big, blue Earth would be remembered forever. Spain's first rocket flight into space occurred in a time when these launches were kept classified. Now, tens of millions of ordinary people will be able to see the wonders of the cosmos. |

MINISTRY OF DEFENSE

SEPTEMBER 2024

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Defense has revealed a new addition to the already established Arabian Gulf and Red Sea A2/AD Networks. With increased hostilities with the Socialist Arab Republic of Egypt in the Red Sea once again, Riyadh has approved the implementation of additional components to the already existing situation, which will now include S-400 SAM systems, S-300 SAM systems, L-SAM System, and the HAS-250 Anti-Ship Missile System. The Ministry of Defense has indicated that it takes its new found responsibility of protecting the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and the Arabian Gulf very seriously against all adversaries and threats, foreign and domestic, that seeks to destabilize said strategic chokepoints to international trade. The new additions effectively bring the Suez Canal, Sinai, Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Gulf of Aden, portions of the Arabian Sea, and the Arabian Gulf under the effective monitoring, and if necessary targeting, of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

FOREIGN MINISTRY: FRANCE CONDEMNS AND SANCTIONS EGYPT'S ILLEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT (Izanostan)

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2024 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF DIPLOMACY, MINISTÈRE DES AFFAIRES ÉTRANGÈRES - | News of the overthrow of Egyptian President el-Sisi and his democratically elected government by a barely known general has stirred tensions all over the region. At one time Egypt was seen as a valued partner of France but now it is stabbing it's allies in the back. Further news about the illegitimate government's intent to launch a broad nationalization campaign and kick out Paramerican troops was seen as the last straw by French diplomats. The French Government will not stand idle and watch democracy be tarnished and our allies and shared interests be discarded or attacked. Therefor President Emmanuel Macron has ordered immediate sanctions be brought against the illegitimate government in Egypt with heavy restrictions being placed on trade and military hardware. Billions of euros in foreign aid given to Egypt by France has also been halted. In addition the line of 40 Alexandria-class missile boats under construction and destined for the Egyptian Navy has been cancelled. The 20 being built in France have had construction efforts halted altogether, meanwhile those being built in Egypt will not be receiving any of the sensors or other detrimental hardware from France that is needed to complete them. The Vth Republic demands a peaceful return of power to el-Sisi's democratic government or Egypt shall face even more backlash with President Macron stating "We are not afraid to utilize force to protect our interests if necessary". | [/sub]

Official Condemnation of Egyptian Coup

_____________

Following a tumultuous September in Egypt and the region, the Green Zone has been especially on edge. Though it had a tense relationship with the Sisi Regime, internal opinion has been that Sisi was a devil they knew. Another military overthrow was viewed extremely negatively, especially one openly accepting of human rights abuses and the use of revolutionary terror, and actively agitating for conflict with the USP. Addressing the press, President Khalil made the following statement:

”Dictatorial socialism has no place in the world and no place in the Arab world. Too many generations lived and died under the iron grip of socialist regimes propagating the ideals of Arab nationalism for their own means. Already we see the violence that the Egyptian military is imposing on its own people. This is not a legitimate government, it is a rogue pretender regime and it cannot be allowed to last.”

The Foreign Ministry has released an official statement denying recognition of the Socialist Republic and will hold no diplomatic relationship with it. Baghdad will continue to recognize the legitimacy of the Arab Republic as well as President Sisi and the constitution he served under. Egyptian diplomats will be provided safe haven within the AFS, as will Egyptian nationals who do not wish to return to their home country at this time. Additionally, a unilateral embargo has been placed on import goods from Egypt and export goods destined for Egypt. Egyptian assets in the Arab States have been frozen for the time being. The Transportation Ministry has also issued its highest level travel warning, just short of a ban. All travel to Egypt is highly discouraged and deemed unsafe. Kuwait Airlines and Royal Jordanian have suspended all passenger flights to Egypt indefinitely.

Heightened Defenses Deployed to Egyptian Border, Eastern Medditeranean, Red Sea

______________

Defense Minister Khalid al-Obaidi has confirmed new deployment of defenses and weaponry to several theatres that the AFS shares with Egypt. S-300, MIM-104 Patriot, Pantsir S-1, and Buk M2 SAM systems have been deployed to the Egyptian border, the Syrian coast on the Medditeranean, and the Jordanian coast on the Gulf of Aqaba. Additionally, P-800 Oniks anti-ship missiles have been deployed to the Syrian and Jordanian coasts. These defensive deployments are meant to secure the AFS from any possible attack, ensure security for shipping and civilian traffic in the vital Red Sea and Medditeranean, and supplement the efforts and Saudi Arabia, a major ally. Additionally, 26 MiG-25 Foxbat interceptor/recon aircraft and 20 F-16V multirole fighters have been deployed to the Syrian Coast and Red Sea to heighten security and assist in intelligence gathering. They have been divided equally between both fronts.

ANAF Deploys To Yemen

The Island of Malagasia & the 3 Sultanates:

Malagasia (OOC: Madagascar) was first settled by Austronesians seafarers with genetic ties to modern-day Malays & Indonesians, as well as Bantu (from mainland Africa) several thousand years ago. These groups intermingled and formed a blended culture that would birth the people we know today as Malagasian. From the 10th century onwards, Muslim Arab traders and Muslim Bantu traders from the Arabian Peninsula and Swahili East African coast began settling the coasts of the island and intermingling with the Malagasian natives (*this happened IRL but to a lesser degree - in this TL this happened way more heavily). With them they brought Arabic writing, Islam, gunpowder, astrology, silk and various innovations that would transform the culture of the Malagasians forever. The Malagasian people very quickly became Islamised and by the 1600s, several powerful sultanates had formed with the most prosperous being the Mahajanga, Toliara & Merina. They’d all become wealthy from trade on the Indian Ocean with Arabs, Persians and Southeast Asians, and later the Europeans. The stable and organised polities of the sultanates meant that the island remained relatively stable and could develop strong cultures and institutions over time. However, this period prosperity was ended when European pirates began ravaging the island.

The French & British also began encroaching on the island and competed over influence f the strategically located Indian Ocean island. Eventually, to earn protection from the pirates in the early 1800s, the sultanates on the island either became French & British protectorates. The colonial powers ruled the island indirectly through the native sultans as compromise to avoid too much conflict between British & French interests on the island. Colonisation eventually brought modern medicine, railways & cities to the island. It also ended the regional slave trade and by the time of independence in 1960, the island was split into 3 independent polities:

[list]• The Mahajanga Sultanate - Ruled by the Al Zafy royal family.

• The Toliara Sultanate - Ruled by jointly by the Tsirana royal family and the royal Hamid family.

• The Merina Sultanate - Ruled by the Radama family.[/list]

The 3 sultanates have shared the island relatively peacefully, each royal family focusing on maintaining its political control over its territory and suppressing any political dissent.

In 1970, the sultanates agreed to form a standardised indigenous lingua franca & make it their official languages for the island based on the already similar creole dialects spoken in the different regions of the island. This would be known as Standard Malagasi. In 1972, the 3 sultanates established the Malagasian Free Trade Zone to boost economic cooperation between them and in 1977, all 3 sultanates agreed to adopt a common currency known as the Makasi.

However with the exception of the Toliara Sultanate (which has been rather democratic in allowing its people to vote on referendums to influence major policies), the Mahajanga and Merina Sultanate have ruled their populations with an iron fist and have seen an immense wealth gap develop with poor treatment of the overall agricultural populations of their sultanates. This has led many political theorists to believe that political unrest within those two sultanates is inevitable as popular protests have taken place before as was the case in 1998, 2015 & 2018. All of which were brutally suppressed and earned the Mahajanga & Merina sultanates condemnations from the United Nations Un Human Rights Watch.

MALAGASIAN NEWS:

Largest Protests Since 2018 Take Place In Mahajanga Sultanate’s Capital Over Tax Increases

[list]Holding anti-government banners and pelting rocks at government buildings and offices, 10,000 protesters marched furiously in the capital also known as Mahajanga City. Most of these protesters came from farms & rural towns outside the city and were furious with recent hikes in taxes and food prices. They used social media to organise and plan this for months after the government finally relieved internet restrictions which had been in place after the 2015 major anti-government protests. They claimed corruption and embezzlement were to blame for the continually struggling economy of Mahajanga. Sultan Memedi Al Zafy, ruler of the Mahajanga Sultanate on the island of Malagasia recently called on citizens “return home peacefully or be met with the full force of the police”. He has been known to the international community to be a tyrant for his government’s human rights abuses against protesters, having been condemned by the United Nations Un Human Rights Watch for harsh police brutality in previous major protests. Despite the threats, protests don’t seem to be letting up and in fact seem to be picking up pace across the country. Some believe this will end bloody again as the other major protests did & that little will change in the style of governance of the Mahajanga Sultanate. The other two sultanates on the island have been silent about recent events, mainly due to a policy of non-interference they all agreed upon back in 1972.[/list]

Princess Bellanara of Merina Sultanate Caught In Corruption Scandal - $30 million Stolen From State Funds

[list]While protests rage on in Mahajanga, in the Merina Sultanate, the daughter of Sultan Nouriddin Radama has recently been under fire from private press and social media netizens after being discovered to have stolen $30 million from state coffers. The Radama royal family has also been known for its corruption which has also triggered major protests in the past. However, unlike the Mahajanga Sultanate, Sultan Nouriddin has instituted minor reforms to appease the population and given subsidies difficult times for certain farmers. Nevertheless, Princess Bellanara being outed for this has once again triggered anti-government sentiment among the people of Merina. It will come as no surprise if huge protests begin breaking out in Merina soon, inspired by the protests taking place in Mahajanga.[/list]

It should be noted however, that the anti-government protests that have taken place over the decades in the Mahajanga & Merina Sultanates have all been attempts by the people to pressure the Sultan into instituting reforms or pressure the Sultan’s advisors, powerful oligarchs related to the royal families and government officials to forcefully dethrone the Sultan and put a new Sultan in power. The Malagasians in these sultanates are all supporters of the sultanate system, and seem them as the mist legitimate form of governance due to their historical and cultural significance and partly due to religious influences too.

Bonjour mon ami <3

Philanialle, Drully

My first RP is gonna revolve around Gov't formation in Québec!

The election results were as follows, with Party List seats won first then per Riding seats won :)

Alliance of Quebec (Center-Right, Conservatism) - 34 seats | 47 seats

Liberal Party of Quebec (Center-Left, Liberalism) - 33 seats | 47 seats

Forward Quebec Coalition (Right Wing, Populism) - 20 seats | 15 seats

Green Party of Quebec (Centrism, Environmentalism) - 22 seats | 4 seats

Solidarity Quebec (Left Wing, Democratic Socialism) - 12 seats | 12 seats

Marxist/Leninist Party (Far-Left, Communism) - 6 seats | 0 seats

The ruling coalition following this election was organized by the Center-Right AdQ (Alliance of Quebec). They negotiated a Governing Coalition with the Right-Wing CAQ (Forward Quebec Coalition) and 13 members of the PVdQ (Green Party of Quebec). 9 members of the PVdQ chose to sit in opposition to the Government due to the party's decision to govern alongside the CAQ. Green Party Leader Mlle Kristina Michaud sits with government and has a close working relationship with AdQ leader, Rémi Massé.

The PVdQ is likely to officially split following Michaud's decision to join the Right Wing Government. However, Kristina Michaud remains the most popular candidate for First Minister in the next Quebec election, according to match-ups measuring the outcomes. Michaud's market driven approach to environmentalism and environmental stewardships seems to have support from across the political spectrum.

SEPTEMBER 12TH 2024

EGYPTIAN CURRENCY STABILIZES, NORMAL CURRENCY TRANSFERS RESUME. PRICES OF IMPORTED GOODS DECLINE.

The brief currency crisis that has struck Egypt seems to be fading in intensity as the Egyptian pound stabilizes and normal money transfers to groups outside the country begin again. The "Egyptian People's Bank" that has been made of the agglomerated bits of a hundred other Egyptian banks has been given full control over currency transfers out of the country and the accounts of every bank in Egypt to do them with. This means that a transaction that would have required one or more intermediaries in Egypt alone now only needs to pass through one bank in Egypt before leaving the country. Representatives of the People's Bank have been incredibly opaque with exactly what is being done to fix the currency exchange system but so far it seems to be working and the Egyptian pound recovered 2% of its value this morning after a drop in value of 25% this week. The prices of food and imported goods have also stabilized and the effects of massive inflation in Egypt seems to have been held off at least for now.

While the Egyptians work financial market to prevent their country from falling apart, the US troops remain in their bases in the country. The deadline for their departure has been extended to the 15th and there is word of it being extended farther than that. El-Azad has said in his customary daily address to the country that it is likely the US will consider a full blockade of their bases an "act of war" even though the bases are in Egypt and the lives of US soldiers are not under any sort of threat. The take off of Paramerican aircraft is still being prevented by the Egyptian air force but supply shipments, water, and electricity have not been impeded. The crews of US ships in Egyptian ports are still being prevented from leaving their ships and many Egyptians believe that the US is prepared to bomb Cairo or Memphis at the drop of a hat. Anti-government and pro-government demonstrations have given way to large anti-paramerican demonstrations against sanctions and US presence in the country.

The El-Azad government has encouraged these demonstrations that included the burning of Paramerican flags and chants of "Yankee go home!". El-Azad has also in response to the sanctions announced that all Paramerican and Brazilian assets in the country will be frozen and "repurposed for the benefit of the Egyptian people". With El-Azad having been in power for six days his government has begun to implement some of its more ambitious reforms. Landlords in many Egyptian cities woke up to news that their properties had been nationalized or handed over to their tenants. A protest of landlords and their supporters was broken up by the police relatively peacefully in Memphis, though in Alexandria a pro-azad politician was shot to death by an as of yet unidentified assassin that police say was likely associated with an opposition group.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC'S SIGHT

Without the knowledge of Paramerican authorities, Egypt had found a way around the SWIFT sanctions. The Egyptian People's Bank had inherited the relationships of many of its constituent banks and together with the help of several Spanish finnancial institutions was able to move money around again. Some of the first transfers took money from Egypt, moved it to a Spanish bank's account in an African bank, and then relayed that money to an Indonesian institution where it was exchanged for dollars and then moved back into a different Spanish bank's books. The exchange between currencies was not at as good as a rate as Egypt could get previously but it was something. The process was also complex and time consuming as Egypt found itself having to camouflage the movement of large amounts of money that moved together would arouse suspicion.

The Spanish also more directly moved money for Egypt, essentially acting as front groups for Egyptian money to the SWIFT system that has suspended service for Egyptian banks. A number of shell companies and other misdirection systems could hide this from international authorities, and friends in the Spanish government could misdirect investigation efforts in Spain very effectively. From the perspective of a Paramerican official tasked with ensuring the sanctions were working it would look as if Egypt was holding on to its remaining banking connections as hard as it could and potentially overusing them. Which, to be fair, it was. The system of money transfers out of the country that could be observed would also look like legitimate business which to be fair it was in large part. Nothing the Egyptians or Spanish were doing was technically illegal. The EU had no sanctions on Egypt, and once Egyptian money passed through a foreign entity it was no longer Egyptian money. All the measures that were being taken were less to conceal something illegal and more to conceal legal activity from the Paramericans who could make it illegal.

In exchange for all this help the Egyptian government promised Spanish financial institutions profits from the affair and market share in Egypt. The Spanish government was along for it thanks to El-Azad's big infrastructure and development plans for Egypt that needed foreign help that El-Azad promised Spain could be put at the top of the list for providing.

Vox: The political party leading the charge to revitalize Spanish ultranationalism and imperialism

| Vox is a far-right ultranationalist, anti-EU political party founded in 2013 by politicians Santiago Abascal and Javier Ortega Smith. Resulting from a schism in the People's Party (PLP), the newly founded right-wing political party seized seats in Catalonia, Basque, and Andalusia, all of which are regions with some form of anti-Madrid sentiment. Characterized by extreme far-right ultranationalism and pro-colonalistic rhetoric, the party became popular among nationalist and anti-government regions, mainly the Basque autonomous region along the Bay of Biscay. The 2019 national elections was a godsend for the party, seizing more seats in the Parliament of Catalonia and the Cortes Generales, Spain's national parliament. Although the PSOE and its party leader Pedro Sanchez maintained a massive majority in all sectors of the Spanish elected government, Vox became the second most popular political party, second to the PSOE. |

| The rise of Ciudadanos and progressive liberalism in the country caused Vox's growth and approval rating rise to falter, and eventually stop completely. To many, Vox's aggressive right-wing, anti-government rhetoric wasn't right for Spain anymore, and most Spaniards turned to the Citizens Party and their pro-unity, progressive platform of policies. Vox's slip from power continued until 2024, when Ciudadanos party president Augustina Torres was elected Prime Minister of Spain, seizing 45% of the total vote. Vox's candidate for the Prime Ministership, Ana Oramas, secured only 3% of the total vote. Although Vox maintained and gained a few seats in the Cortes Generales, the party lost a significant number of seats in the Parliament of Catalonia, further damaging the party's popularity. Ana Oramas was also a prime candidate for the office of Defense Minister and Chief of the Defense Staff, but independent Nadia Calvino was chosen instead. Many attribute this slip of power to the rise of progressive liberalism and pro-market politics in Spain, a charge led by Ciudadanos and Augustina Torres. However, recent events have sparked popularity for Vox, and could serve as a turning point in Spanish politics. |

| The change passed by the Cortes Generales to the foreign policy, drafted by military commander General Miguel Villarroya of the Spanish Armed Forces, was backed strongly by Vox, who was responsible for drafting the amendment that revitalized Spanish imperialist ambitions. The right-wing party had been a strong supporter for Gen. Villarroya's imperialist ambitions, considering his dream of imperialist Spain in line with Vox's political views. This strong coalition between Villarroya and Vox, however, collapsed when the change was voted against by the Valentine Commission in early August 2024. Many saw this as another crushing blow dealt to Vox, a party many regarded as slowly dying. These 'Vox approaches its demise' news articles were proven wrong when on September 11, 2024, Vox party president Santiago Abascal announced his intention to lead a legislative coalition with Pedro Sanchez and his PSOE, as well as center-right party Podemos to pass legislation that would push Spain into the far-right of the political spectrum. Although Sanchez and the PSOE had doubts about supporting this unnamed piece of legislation, they decided to back Abascal in order to form a united front against Prime Minister Torres' anti-colonialist, progressive platform of politics. |

| Although this coalition between Vox, the PSOE, and Podemos is extremely new, being only a few days old, many are wondering about the true motivation behind this group of unlikely allies from opposite ends of the political spectrum. Could it be imperialism? Spanish expansionism? Or could it just be a purely politically motivated coalition designed to collapse Ciudadanos' impenetrable hold on power? The answer to this is, once again, extremely complicated. But as Vox grows in popularity, and Abascal aims to seize the position of Deputy Defense Minister following the resignation of the previous holder of office, it could be possible that Spain is entering an era of resurgence in imperialism and neocolonialism. |

Podemos: The Spanish political underdog turned rising political juggernaut

| Podemos is a center-right conservative anti-market political party founded in 2014 by Pablo Iglesias Turrión in the aftermath of the 15M-Movement against government corruption and inequality. The party is considered by many to be extremely bizarre, calling itself a center-right conservative party, but truly characterized by authoritarian left-wing, anti-corruption, anti-establishment principles, with a strong opposition to free market capitalism. A left-leaning populist party, Podemos grew steadily, but not at the rapid pace as that of the PSOE and Vox, in the 2010s, and gained a decent number of seats in the Cortes Generales during the 2019 general elections. Closely allying itself to the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) and then-Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, the party ensured its anti-market and left-leaning legislation passed with PSOE support. Podemos is also characterized by a strong anti-EU, or Eurosceptic, view, having led several failed efforts to pull Spain out of the European Union. Due to these characteristics, the party is strongly allied with the PSOE, with a minor informal partnership with Vox. Podemos' main political opponent is the progressive liberal Ciudadanos, led by rising star politician Augustina Jane Torres. |

| The subsequent rise of Ciudadanos in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic did not affect Podemos and their slightly conservative platform as much as it affected the PSOE and Vox. Although the party suffered significant losses and an approval rating decline by 9.2%, Podemos remained the fourth-strongest political party in Spain, under the PSOE, Ciudadanos, and Vox. In a break from tradition, Podemos supported Citizens Party legislation as they saw it as the best hope for Spanish economic recovery in the coming years. This shocking support for Ciudadanos nearly caused a schism in the party, with founder Pablo Iglesias Turrión threatening to leave and form a left-wing conservative political party to oppose Podemos' growing right-wing force. This near-schism broke the party's approval rating, thus causing Ciudadanos legislation to slowly come to a halt. As the 2024 elections neared, Podemos straightened itself and pledged support to now-candidate for the Prime Ministership Augustina Torres, with a mutual agreement being signed between Ciudadanos and Podemos in September 2023. |

| The sudden shifting of political alignment by Podemos from left-leaning conservative to right-leaning progressive centrist caused its votership to disperse, but with Ciudadanos backing the party rose back to its previous position in government. With a lack of support from Podemos, the PSOE joined forces with Vox in the 2024 elections, with plans to seize a joint majority in the Cortes Generales in order to block future Citizens Party pro-market economic reform legislation. Unbeknownst to the PSOE and Vox, Ciudadanos and Podemos were already ramping up public support, holding rallies all over the country at a rapid pace. The result of the 2024 elections, with Ciudadanos barely securing a majority, caused the PSOE and Vox to lose public support, while Podemos gained ground in the regional elections. |

| As Ciudadanos and Prime Minister Augustina Torres gained increasingly massive amounts of public support, Podemos began to slip into obscurity, blocked from public view by the Citizens Party. Due to this, resentment among Podemos party members began to form, with some even calling for Turrión to cancel the mutual agreement with Ciudadanos and form a triparty coalition with Vox and the PSOE to secure themselves - and the right wing - a joint majority in the Cortes Generales. These calls to turn against Ciudadanos were finally heeded by Turrión, the party president, who successfully signed a coalition formation agreement with Vox's Santiago Abascal and the PSOE's Pedro Sanchez. |

| The Podemos party is renowned by many Spaniards to be an eccentric but possibly game-changing political party on the national stage. Although Ciudadanos and Augustina Torres gained significant ground during the 2024 elections, recent polls and public support are suggesting a possible decline in progressive liberal support in the coming months, in favor of a more center-right conservative platform of politics, similar to what Podemos offers. As a result of this, political analysts claim Podemos could become the second-largest and possibly even the largest party in the country within five years, overpassing the PSOE and Ciudadanos. Previously a neglected political underdog, Podemos is now rising fast, slowly but steadily becoming Spain's next political juggernaut. |

[list][list]| INFORMATIVOS TELECINCO BROADCASTING CENTER, Madrid — [sup](Isabel Jimenez, INTE News Anchor)[/sup] "Welcome to Informativos Telecinco, I'm your host Isabel Jimenez. The Office of the Prime Minister recently announced a new cabinet reshuffle in which new Cabinet members, or ministry leaders, were chosen by the Cabinet Committee and inaugurated in front of the Cortes Generales. The new Cabinet members are as follows: Nadia Calvino for Minister of Trade, Arancha Gonzalez Laya for Minister of Foreign Affairs, Irene Montero for Minister of Economy, Andrea Levy Soler for Minister of Defense, and Santiago Abascal for Chief of the Defense Staff. One major thing to note here is that the roles of Minister of Defense and Chief of the Defense Staff were separated, apparently to reduce corruption. With us here today is Ms. Soler, newly inaugurated to the position of Minister Defense. Madam Soler, can you describe how you felt when you were invited to take the position of Minister of Defense and why exactly were you chosen?" |[/list][/list]

Well, uh, I felt sort of intrigued when I was invited to take up the position considering my pervious role in Spanish politics was as a Senator in the Cortes Generales, representing, uh, I think it was Catalonia. I think I was chosen because I had previously served as a liaison between the Ministry of Defense and Navantia. I also served in the military for a short while, as a First Lieutenant, but I left the army to become a politician." |[/list][/list]

While Spain has not interacted with the Socialist Republic, to public knowledge, as of yet, it is possible that the Spanish government could participate in an EU intervention into Egypt. To discuss the government's current stance here is Defense Staff Chief Santiago Abascal. Welcome, Mr. Abascal. What is the government's current planned course of action regarding the current situation in Egypt, considering Paramerican mobilization and other key factors?" |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sup](Santiago Abascal, Chief of the Defense Staff)[/sup] "Thanks, Isabel. As of now, I've attended multiple national security briefings, and from what I've learned and what I can legally tell you, haha, is that Spain currently has no extreme course of action planned or in consideration. The Kingdom of Spain will most certainly stand with the decision of the European Union's leadership, as Egypt right now is not considered a high-priority ally by Spain. I assure you, Spain will always put her major allies such as the EU and the United States first." |[/list][/list]

[list][list][list]TOGG Gives Greenlight for Production of first Turkish Electric Cars[/list][/list][/list]

| TOGG, or Turkey's Automobile Joint Venture Group Inc. Is a Turkish automotive company founded as a joint venture in 2018. Anadolu Group, BMC Turkey, Kök Group, Turkcell and Zorlu Holding are major stakeholders under the umbrella institution TOBB. Each company has 19% shares and TOBB has 5% share. During the 2015s, Turkey's President Erdoğan called for an initiative to produce a Turkish automobile brand. In 2017, Erdoğan announced the creation of TOGG and its participants. On 27 December 2019, the first introduction was made in Gebze. President Erdoğan unveiled two models, one SUV and one sedan during the event. The car manufacturing plant will be in Gemlik, Bursa. The ground breaking ceremony for the factory in Gemlik was held on 18 July 2020. Between 2022 and 2023 further tests and additions were made on the prototypes. The two models of the TOGG Turkish national car unveiled in December 2019 are both all-electric vehicles with 300 km and 500 km range options. Both cars will have an 8-year battery warranty and level 2 autonomous driving assistance. The Eti Maden Lithium Carbonate Production Plant will be supplying the Joint-stock company with Lithium supply for its batteries. |

| 1 Million of these TOGG cars are expected to hit on the roads of Turkey by 2030. "We'll start with a mid-size C segment "sportive multi-purpose automobile (SUV)" that's intrinsically electric, linked, and self-driving. We will develop new services, new user experiences, and new business models inside the ecosystem we have developed around our smart and connected car. The Sedan, Hatchback, MPV, B-segment SUV prototypes are soon to be released in the following month or so." said CEO Mehmet Gürcan Karakaş during an interview with major Turkish news networks, he continues saying "As TOGG, we're working on a new generation of electric and connected cars, as well as a mobility ecosystem to support them. We hope to contribute to a clean future through this environment by making life easier for big groups of people and eliminating harmful pollutants. You can charge your car at home, at work, or at charging stations along the road, and you can achieve an 80 percent battery charge level in less than 30 minutes with fast charging, thanks to the broad charging infrastructure that we will drive the development of. On lengthy drives, you will be able to stop for a quick coffee break and then continue on your way by charging both yourself and your car. " |

| Tulips, one of Anatolian countries' deep-rooted emblems, inspired the contemporary and unique design. The tulip motifs embroidered with modern delicacy on the front grille of the automobile, which will be the car's hallmark on the road, and the wheels, which complement the overall beauty, stress the automobile's relationship to the Turkish geography's cultural legacy. The external design's bold and strong lines represent the car's strong and strong spirit. The original front design's eye-catching chrome elements enhance the sophisticated look by giving consistency in the side and rear designs. It's a high-tech, fundamentally electrified, and linked platform created by TOGG engineers, and TOGG owns 100% of the intellectual and industrial property rights. Turkey is now moving into the electric car industry, electric vehicle infrastructure is mostly present in Ankara, Istanbul, Bursa, İzmir, and Gaziantep in their own respective places, the charging infrastructure is usually placed im major parking lots or near gas stations. |

RAID ON CARTELS IN JUIGALPA RESULTS IN 121 MILLON $ SEIZURE

OCTOBER 2024

Forces of the Internal Security Ministry and assisting Mercenaries from Pantera Group today achieved a large victory against the Cartels operating within the Country. Within in the City of Juigalpa a total of 7.2 tonnes of Cocaine being transported in shipping containers were seized at a Cartel Safehouse and Mansion, where an additional estimated 121 million in various dollar bills was seized. Video footage was provided by the Soldiers themselves equipped with headcams. Arriving in several Littlebird Helicopters, viewers were treated to a live insertion and during the gunfight that ensued three littlebirds providing close range fire support with their M134 Miniguns. Storming into the building Cartel members fought the Authorities with illegally obtained Eastern Bloc Weaponry (various non soviet variants of the AK-74 & PKP). Sadly for some viewers that are more sensitive there was quite a bit of blood involved as Centroamerica operates under a no tolerance policy regarding Cartel members, and as such what many westerners would consider slaughter of unarmed individuals was conducted. Centroamerican Authorities have long operated under this policy as it increases the effectiveness of their offers towards informants as otherwise they would face certain death.

Thirteen Hostages were freed from the Compound, among them two Paramerican (Paramountica) and one French (Metropolitan Francais) Tourists who were reported to be in perfect health and relieved to be out of danger. The Centroamerican Foreign Ministry was quick to act in informing to Embassies of both Paramerica and France regarding the retrieval, and have stated they shall refund the cost of return flights for the hostages as an attempt at showing the Governments regret for the situation that they were put into. The Internal Ministry further added to this by stating it would welcome foreign involvement in its anti-Cartel operations, a common and overused response to foreigners being taken hostage as it decreases the financial cost that the Internal Ministry expends to fight such criminals.

The Ministry of Internal Security released Pictures of the seized contraband along with the Cash, however it was later stated that this money had been "appropriated" by the Government as its authenticity was verified as originating from USP street sources (drug dealers in America). Receipts of the Cash were however not posted by the Government, leaving the only possibility to be appropriation for corporate bribes or even more likely as a "bonus" for Pantera for assisting in the operation.

BREAKING NEWS FROM ABU DHABI!

Abdullah II has appeared in the foyer of the Palace of the Nation in Abu Dhabi to announce the formation of a new international force with the unity and understanding between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Republic of Yemen, the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar, and the Kingdom of Bahrain entitled the Union-State of Arab Nations (اتحاد دولة الدول العربية). It would be further announced that Abdullah II has been named the inaugural Grand Emir of the Union-State of Arab Nations (أمير الإتحاد - دولة الأمم العربية) with the specific role of representing and governing this vast federal collection of Arabian Peninsular nations. With the agreed upon capital being Abu Dhabi, Abdullah II has taken residency in the Palace of the Nation.

Abdullah II was chosen to fulfill both requirements for the acknowledgement of both Sunnis and Shias: Abdullah II was elected by the monarchical representatives of each country within the Union-State but also because Abdullah II is the 41st-generation descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, thus granting legitimacy among the Shia population. Abdullah II has indicated that the new agreed upon government system will begin consultation and coordination for the true development of the Peninsula and utmost representation of peninsular Arabs within the international community.

The Roundtable War Memorial is Unveiled

6th October, 2024

With the Malmberget-Gällivare Conurbation recently falling firmly under the control of the government, the government choose to build a new monument in the ruined city. After over a month of planning and building the "Roundtable War Memorial" has been finished and opened to the public.

The monument is located between the Sjöparken and the Gällivare Sjukhus, a populated area that was able to avoid most of the damages from the battles. The Monument was named after "Gustav's Roundtable", the nickname that the area got because of the constant back and forth fighting in the city. The center of the monument is a 5 meter tall (16.4 feet) Marble Roundtable. Circling the Roundtable are six statues made of Limestone that are all around 9 meters tall (29.5 feet). These six statues are of: King Carl XVI Gustaf, Prime Minister Gustav Holm, a soldier from the Swedish Army, a mother carrying her baby, a worker, and a Sámi herder. All of the figures have a hand on the Roundtable and have a sorrowful expression.

Nearby the Roundtable is a Black Granite plaque that reads:

"This memorial was built in remembrance of the battles fought in these towns during the Swedish Insurgency. These battles devastated most of the area and killed thousands of citizens and soldiers. This is a tragedy that must be remembered and prevented from ever happening again. May Sweden live in prosperity forevermore."

In front of this plaque is a wall of Granite listing all of the people who died from the battles in the area. Names like Vicekorpral Gert Bergman, Menig 1 Uđđi Svante, and Kalle Ryttberg cover the wall.

This memorial is just the start of the government's plan to completley rebuild the towns in Gustav's Roundtable. However, with many parts being nothing more than ruins with a few shanties at best, the rebuilding is expected to be extremely expensive. It is expected that it will take years to fully recover from this catastrophe.

[list]TOP HEADLINE: SPANISH LEGISLATURE COMES TO A HALT AFTER OPPOSITION PARTIES FORM COALITION[/list]

[list][list]| INFORMATIVOS TELECINCO BROADCASTING CENTER, Madrid — [sup](Isabel Jimenez, INTE News Anchor)[/sup] "Welcome to Informativos Telecinco, I'm your host Isabel Jimenez. The main legislative body of Spain, the Cortes Generales or National Parliament, came to a halt earlier today after socialist party leader Pedro Sanchez, far-right ultranationalist party leader and Chief of the Defense Staff Santiago Abascal and center-right conservative party leader Pablo Iglesias Turrión announced a joint coalition between their PSOE, Vox, and Podemos parties respectively. The coalition announcement came as a surprise to many Spaniards, considering the fact that these three parties are from three radically different and opposing parts of the political spectrum. With us here to discuss this political conundrum is Carmen García-Castrillón, a professor of political and social science at the Complutense University of Madrid. Welcome, Ms. García-Castrillón. What are your thoughts on this new tri-party legislative coalition and what do you think this means for the ruling party Ciudadanos?" |[/list][/list]

[list][list]| [sup](Carmen García-Castrillón, Professor of Political and Social Science)[/sup] "Thank you, Ms. Jimenez. This new tri-party legislative coalition between, uh, the PSOE, Vox, and Podemos is most certainly intriguing, considering these three parties have vastly different political views, most of which are opposing each other. While many members of the wider public would consider this coalition as impractical, as there is absolutely no chance for all three parties to be appeased completely, this is actually not the case. You see, Spain is a country built on multi-party leadership; there is no way we can be led by a singular party, except for right now. [...] While Ciudadanos and Prime Minister Torres will maintain a strong leadership position in Spanish politics for the foreseeable future, we can most certainly expect their free market legislation to be halted, and this is actually the main reason behind the coalition. All three parties have a common goal of wanting to prevent the expansion of liberal, progressive, free market capitalism in the country." |[/list][/list]

[list]| Main camera pans back to the news anchor. |[/list]

[list][list]| [sup](Isabel Jimenez, INTE News Anchor)[/sup] "Thank you, Professor García-Castrillón. It remains clear that Spain is in for a wild political ride, as only hours ago it was announced that a Ciudadanos-drafted piece of legislation designed to partially cut ties and possibly sanction the Socialist Republic of Egypt. Could it be that the main goal of the newfound coalition is to support and possibly recognize the illegitimate socialist government in Egypt? Politics is, as usual, complicated.

Last month, Spain experienced its first suborbital space launch from native soil with the ES-1 Kingfisher launch from El Arenosillo, and this October, PLD Aerospace hopes to launch their first Miura 1 suborbital sounding rocket from Launchpad C. A PLD Aerospace spokesperson stated that five Miura 1 launches will be conducted from October 2024 to April 2025, after which a Miura 5 orbital launch will be conducted sometime in May to June 2025. This accelerated Miura 5 launch schedule can be attributed to reports of possible talks between the Philippines and Spain of space cooperation. Up next, a foiled terrorist attack in Seville, right after this." |[/list][/list]

General Zadi Launches Socialist Coup In Mahajanga Sultanate After Months of Huge Protests Against Sultan Memedi:

For months, protests all over the Mahajanga Sultanate raged on due to the sudden inflation of prices of food & farming goods, as well as tax increases. Sultan Memedi was already known as a tyrant towards his people, having crushed major protests on several occasions in the past few decades. However, with increasing access to the internet and social media, it was becoming easier and easier for people in the Mahajanga Sultanate to organise and become more educated on the issues in their country. Furthermore, being able to see their more prosperous neighbour the Toliara Sultanate through social media meant that resentment grew across the state. Around 45 people had been killed over the past few months when policemen fired live ammunition at protesters. Malagasian United Nations Un workers called it an “abominable excessive use of force”. While Sultan Memedi called it a “necessary response to domestic terrorism”.

Nevertheless, a few days ago Mahajangan military personnel began taking over media stations and government offices. Military trucks and tanks could be seen rolling into Mahajanga City (capital) and appeared to be that these were not on orders of Sultan Memedi. Things became clearer when these soldiers did not suppress the protesters but in fact forced the police to lay down their arms.

Soon enough a live broadcast was made in which General Ahmadu Zadi who had been a key figure in the Royal Mahajangan Forces announced:

[list]“The tears of the Mahajangan people has been heard. The army has stepped in. We have arrested Sultan Memedi for his crimes against the people and ask that protesters go home. A Revolutionary Socialist Council will be set up and under our rule, we will restore order and fix the struggles of our farmers & workers here in Mahajanga. I also acknowledge that in Egypt Izanostan a similar act of liberation has been taken by General El Azad and I applaud him”[/list]

This convinced many protesters to celebrate in the streets, chanting things such as “Death to Memedi” and “Give Us A New Sultan”. This entire coup however has left the neighbouring sultanates of Toliara & Merina on edge. While Toliara has always been stable and its monarchs have enjoyed popular support, the Merina Sultanate once had an equally tyrannical monarch that triggered major protests too until Sultan Nouriddin arrived and introduced minor reforms.

This is the first time on the island of Malagasia since the formation of the sultanates, that a military has overthrown a sultan, who historically have been seen as untouchable. Only other members of the royal family, Islamic clergy or powerful and wealthy oligarchs with royal family backing could depose a sultan in Malagasia.

Both Sultan Nouriddin Radama (Merina) & Sultan Rashid II (Toliara) spoke out against the coup in Mahajanga. Sultan Rashid II stated:

[list]“This is ungodly and an uncivilised action taken by General Zadi. The grievances of the Mahajanga people should’ve been addressed, but not by the military. While I acknowledge that Sultan Memedi is an unworthy leader, a new member of the Royal Family of Al Zafy should be re-instated immediately. We also invite a delegation from Mahajanga to come to Toliara to discuss resolving the issues in Mahajanga. A military coup is unacceptable”[/list]

[spoiler=Note. Malagasia is the island, its not one country. It’s currently split into 3 sultanates with their governments and royal families that have ruled their respective regions for centuries. These royal families derive their legitimacy from a group of Islamic scholars (clergy) and the other wealthy families]

Explainer: Gridlock In The Arab National Congress

By: Salih Saif Aldin

_______________

BAGHDAD- Just yesterday, another major bill failed to pass the People’s Assembly. The third iteration of the controversial National Resurgence Infrastructure Act failed to pass by 70 votes. Yet this is the closest the bill has come to passing and it’s not the only major legislature stalled in Congress. Other stalled bills would cover oil privatization, free healthcare, and clear energy. So what’s causing this, and what might change?

Congress is split into two informal coalitions: ruling and opposition. The Ruling coalition is an agreement between President Khalil’s Arab National Union and Ahmed Chalabi’s Progressive Unity Party. Together they hold 320 seats in the People’s Assembly and 20 seats in the Senate. In both houses they have a plurality, but not enough to pass legislation unilaterally. The Opposition is a broader coalition led by Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis’ Victory Alliance, composed of the Islamic Brotherhood, al-Sabah, Hashemite Restoration and the Kurdish Democratic Party. Muhandis’ coalition is just a handful of seats of a plurality in both houses. This division of power gives both coalitions two options if they want to pass legislation: compromise with each other or draw the support of the independent parties.

Compromise

Within the ANU there is a single roadblock to bipartisan cooperation: President Zahir Khalil. Serving as President and Secretary-General of his party he wields significant sway over affairs in Congress. On several occasions bipartisan negotiations have broken down supposedly because of Khalil’s intransigence. This has created its own tensions in the coalition, with Khalil and Chalabi having a publicly tense relationship. An unwillingness to compromise has also threatened the integrity of the ANU itself as insiders have reported members who deviate from Khalil’s stances can find themselves ostracized. If Khalil is to break the deadlock and pass any of the major legislation he promised on the campaign trail, he has to stabilize his coalition and break new ground in bipartisan cooperation.

Independent Parties

The three parties independent of any legislative coalition are the Ba’ath party, People and Workers, the Syrian Kurdish Committee, and 6 independent Assemblymen. Most prominent is the Ba’ath party, which holds enough votes to give either coalition a majority. This has led to courting from both as they try to woo Ba’ath leadership into allegiance. After the arrest of Ali Ayyoub and dozens of other generals in the Ba’ath party, they have entered into direct negotiations with the opposition to form a majority coalition or even unify several of the parties. If negotiations are successful, the ANU’s power would be crippled, and its voting agreement with the PUP would likely fall apart.

Both of these things could spell disaster for President Khalil and the ANU in the midterm Assembly elections which are just a year away. With lots of ground lost and a lot of promises left to keep, the President will have to make great strides to salvage his administration's reputation after a tumultuous first year. Khalil’s popularity peaked at 61% early in his administration with the formation of MESA, but steadily declined to a low of 44% shortly before the war in Yemen began. The war proved a good PR moment for Khalil and his approval rating is hovering at about 48% as of September.

[list][list][list][list][list]الجمعية التشاورية الأمريكية تقر إصلاحات لتوسيع التعليم بقيمة 10 مليارات دولار![/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]

The Consultative Assembly of the Union-State of Arab Nations convened at the new Consultative Assembly administrative headquarters in Abu Dhabi to discuss with Grand Emir Abdullah II the passing of a crucial education reform bill that would spark the closing of income and gender inequality across the Peninsula to further bolster economic potential and prosperity. Speaker of the Consultative Assembly His Highness Fahd bin Mahmoud al Said would reveal that after a 2 hour deliberation, it has been agreed upon that a $10 billion education expansion reform bill would be implemented, with primary concern placed upon the current conditions in Yemen. The framework of the reform stems from the 1951 Muscat Education Reform Bill passed by Marshal Bokar, prioritizing the educational and social development and well-being of the Omani people 5 years after he came to power.

HH Fahd bin Mahmou Al-Said stressed that in order for a civilization to be sustained and properly progress into the future, education must become a priority. The USAN educational system will receive the $10 billion funding through the newly established sovereign wealth fund called The Peninsular Arabia Investment Directorate (PAID), of which has established a council based on education investment and advancement. Through proper investing and collaboration with Abu Dhabi, this particular council within the Directorate seeks proliferation of social benefits and social programs such as community outreach programs, positive interactions and sporting between communities and local authorities, immersive environmental educational programs instead of staying in classrooms all day, and granting money to families to determine where their children go to school. The education reform bill has also ordered for the establishment of public, private, and religious educational institutions and ensured equity of educational opportunities based on the financial need of every single individual.

Grand Emir Abdullah IIl also believes that it is never too late to gather an education no matter the age; therefore, Abu Dhabi has promised as an incentive, employment and job training for all citizens over the age of 30 if they return to school to receive a higher degree of education. Through these educational reforms, a Chairman has been appointed by the Grand Emir through the recommendation of the Peninsular Arabia Investment Directorate (PAID) to oversee investments and progress. Another initiative put forward through the reform bill and the Directorate was the establishment of the USAN National Institute of Mathematics, Science and Technology, of which gears a heightened emphasis on the advancement and understanding of science and technology. With continual agreements since 2014 with the United States, Korea, and Japan regarding STEM development and research, the Arabian Peninsula has been able to become quite advanced within the Middle East regarding emerging technologies and scientific advancement; however, the Grand Emir seeks to further this potential even more. Thus, the USAN National Institute of STEM provides grants, scholarships, internships, and employment to students and citizens alike that have an expertise and interest within the sciences and technology. It places a priority on collegiate majors and minors that pertain to the following:

[list][sub]Materials Engineering, Molecular Engineering, Process Engineering, Corrosion Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Transport Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Power Engineering, Computer Engineering, Acoustical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Optomechanical Engineering, Vehicle Engineering, Cryptographic Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Applied Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Energy Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Management Engineering, Military Engineering, Petroleum Engineeing, Textile Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mechanics, Ecology, Oceanography, Geology, Atmospheric Science, Thermodynamics, Magnetism, Geophysics, Hydrology, Meteorology, Soil Science, Economic Geology and Mineralogy, Astrophysics, chemical biology, astrochemistry, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Archaeology, Jurisprudence, History, and Linguistics[/sub][/list]

Grand Emir Abdullah II has also required for all citizens to start school in Pre-Kindergarten. To stress the importance of education, Abu Dhabi now requires all schools to establish communal outreach programs, even in villages, to ensure extensive resources and tutoring opportunities. Teachers have also been required to be available for home schooling. The Grand Emir has made it clear that no one is exempt from receiving an education as it is part of the USAN's agenda to ensure vital investment and proliferation of human and social capital.

General Zadi Sentences Al Zafy Royal Family To Death, Abolishes The Sultanate & Founds The Mahajanga Socialist Republic:

After major protests against Sultan Memedi took place for months over the harsh economic downturns for farmers and workers in the Mahajanga Sultanate, General Zadi launched a military coup recently that deposed Sultan Memedi & established a Revolutionary Socialist Council made up of his lost loyal soldiers.

While this coup was celebrated by the Mahajangan people who had grown to despise Sultan Memedi, they expected General Zadi to instate a new member of the Al Zafy royal family that would be a better leader. To their horror however, only several weeks after launching his coup, General Zadi recently announced:[/list]

[list]“The Al Zafy Royal Family has been sentenced to death for their crimes against the Mahajangan people. Furthermore, Islamic scholars who supported the Al Zafy Royal Family & claimed that Allah supported their rule will be exiled. Finally, a new age shall start in which the Mahajangan Republic will be formed ruled by the Socialist Party led by me, the new President Zadi.

In response to the Union-States of Arabia’s Alzarikstan sanctions, I request financial aid from Egypt Izanostan and my fellow socialist comrade General El Azad. As for the request of Sultan Rashid II of Toliara & Sultan Nouriddin of Merina to meet for peace talks...

I respectfully decline to discuss the future of a Republic with monarchs.[/list]

Since then, Zadi’s army has managed to restore order in Mahajanga & have began imposing a curfew. Many Mahajangan Islamic scholars loyal to the former royal family have already been exiled, most of whom have made their way to either Turkey Abessinienreich or Arabia and the Al Zafy Royal Family will probably have already begun being executed.

The Sultanates of Merina & Toliara have since been entirely on edge. This has never before been seen in the history of the island of Malagasia. Deposing a tyrannical sultan was one thing, but executing and entire royal family that had existed for centuries and Islamic scholars being exiled was a step too far. For most people on the island, this was akin to establishing a kingdom in Paramerica Paramountica and forcefully removing the Papacy from the Vatican.

Sultan Rashid II & Sultan Nouriddin are rumoured to be in Arabia right now discussing the chaos that has just taken place in their neighbour’s state.

[spoiler=Summary: Mahajanga is now a republic, ruled by a socialist despot who used his military power to remove a bad sultan after popular protests. Sultans of neighbouring Merina & Toliara, are furious at this, they wanted the bad sultan replaced not a whole new socialist republic trying to emulate Egypt, set up next door. They cant rest until Zadi meets them or perishes, so off to Arabia it is to see if they can find an ally in their cause.]

Which I found slightly annoying

Sisi is very pro-west while Libya is the opposite

When Sadat moved Egypt closer towards the west Gaddafi saw it as a betrayal

Things were alright then bad then alright again, this pattern repeated until Gaddafi was overthrown

Relations were mostly bad

PALACE OF NATIONS, ABU DHABI, ARAB UNION-STATES Alzarikstan

Sultan Rashid II of the Toliara Sultanate & Sultan Nouriddin of the Merina Sultanate arrived on the Arabian Peninsula within days of hearing that General Zadi of Mahajanga had executed the entire Al Zafy Royal Family that had ruled that region of the Malagasian Island for centuries. They had been frantically talking and arguing for hours as they got off the plane, the two monarchs will absolutely shaken by events in the neighbouring state. Never before had something happened like this on the island of Malagasia, neither of these sultans was prepared.

Despite its shortcomings, the island had enjoyed great peace for decades and now it seemed that a major conflict was inevitable. Either way, they arrived before the palace of the Emir of the Arab Union-States in the hopes that they could gain some support to pressure General Zadi to step down.

The last thing these two sultans wanted was war, none had ever seen one before and they also feared that a war with General Zadi would give their own militaries’ too much power, which as they had just seen, was extremely risky. The precedent had potentially been set, who knows which generals could be plotting to overthrow the Houses that ruled in Toliara and Merina....

Grand Emir Abdullah II, finishing up his prayer at his own personal mosque on the estate of the palace, would be informed that Sultans Rashid II and Nouriddin's motorcade has safely arrived at the front gates and are en route to the front doors of the palace. Nodding his head, Emir Abdullah II would place his shoes back on and make sure that his military ceremonial uniform and keffiyeh were presentable as his medals, ribbons, pins, and epaulettes shined in the grandeur lighting of the palace. As the heels of his shoes echoed across the marble floor and bounced along the gold embroidered marble columns, the Grand Emir Abdullah II would walk out the front door surrounded by members of the USAN's United Arab Guard Corps (UAGC), which is designated to protect the Emir at all costs. Standing at the front entrance, the Emir would have his hands behind his back as he flicked occasionally at his ring on his finger. Understanding the reason for the presence of the sultans, the Grand Emir was prepared to hear their situations and further and see if it was possible for sound resolutions to be made to undermine General Zadi.

The two sultans were also wearing white thawbs and wore white head covers with the traditional arabian style black belt to hold them in place on top of their heads. Upon seeing the Emir, they greeted him with a kiss on the cheek as was their custom for monarchs to do. Sultan Rashid was a 57 year old dark brown man, overweight with a thick moustache which he twirled nervously. Sultan Nouriddin however was looked much older & he was at 71 years old, with a skinny frail frame and wrinkled hands and a face with no facial hair. He seemed as though he were tired of life this man did. Both men stood at around 5’10.

[list]Sultan Rashid It’s an honour Emir, Salaam walaykum.

Sultan Nouriddin Thank you for welcoming us and your hospitality, only Allah knows how much our appreciation extends.[/list]

Both sultans spoke fluent Modern Standard Arabic but with thick accents that showed they were from the island of Malagasia, which itself had a long and rich history with Arabs extending as far as the 10th century.

Sultan Rashid was a 57 year old dark brown man, overweight with a thick moustache which he twirled nervously. Sultan Nouriddin however was looked much older & he was at 71 years old, with a skinny frail frame and wrinkled hands and a face with no facial hair. He seemed as though he were tired of life this man did. Both men stood at around 5’10.

[list]Sultan Rashid It’s an honour Emir, Salaam walaykum.

Sultan Nouriddin Thank you for welcoming us and your hospitality, only Allah knows how much our appreciation extends.[/list]

Both sultans spoke fluent Modern Standard Arabic but with thick accents that showed they were from the island of Malagasia, which itself had a long and rich history with Arabs extending as far as the 10th century.

Granting a nod to both Sultan Rashid and Nouriddin along with a warming smile, the Grand Emir would acknowledge their presence.

Grand Emir Abdullah II:

[list][sub]"Wa ʿalaykumu s-salam my dear friends. Allow me to be the first to send my condolences to your people and island because of the tyranny and terrorism of General Zadi. It has absolutely disgusting what he is doing and his inspiration from Egypt is to blame for this. My heart goes to you, your history, and your people. But I am thankful that you are here because I know that there is much to discuss and I believe that there are ways that the USAN can assist you in finding solace and peace."[/sub][/list]

With his statement, the Emir would escort them to his private study that overlooked the Arabian Gulf on the top floor of the palace. With a golden star and crescent on the ceiling of the study along with large portraits of various Caliphs (except for Ottoman Turks) along the walls as well as each flag of the member-states of the USAN forming a crescent around his desk made out of polished mahogany and redwood. Offering comfortable throne-like armchairs for both Sultans, the Grand Emir would sit at his desk and have one of the assistants bring tea.

Grand Emir Abdullah II:

[list][sub]"Now understanding the situation, this General Zadi has formed a Socialist Republic, brutally murdered an entire royal family that has ruled for centuries, confessed his support to Egypt, and is a direct threat to Islam and peaceful practicing Muslims in your countries?"[/sub][/list]

Sultan Rashid Death to Zadi, wallahi he will pay for this! Sultan Memedi was a bad leader yes but the entire Al Zafy family? They did nothing but exist. What kind of a tyrant wipes a centuries old family off the face of the earth over the crimes of one man?

Sultan Nouriddin being the old frail man that he was, was shaking as he waved his cane in frustation at the situation and then rested his forehead in his palm with a look of despair on his face.

Sultan Rashid Yes, not to mention his exile of scores of Islamic scholars. Emir, Zadi was in charge of the army and took advantage of the protests in Mahajanga to overthrow that country’s monarch. For decades we have existed in peace on the island of Malagasia as separate countries but in close cooperation due to us sharing a common culture and island. The Sultanates of Mahajanga, Merina & Toliara. Yes, there have been problems mainly in Merina and Mahajanga, but we have always overcome them without any major conflicts. But what Zadi is doing... i-it’s setting a precedence. I-It’s bad for our sultanates.

Sultan Nourridin O Grand Emir, what we need is a way to subtly force Zadi to agree to peace talks and hand power to another family of nobility that exists in Mahajanga & reinstate a sultanate. This is the only legitimate form of government we know on our island. But do tell us what ideas you have...

Sitting back in his throne-like armchair behind his desk, Emir Abdullah II would begin to ponder.

Grand Emir Abdullah II:

[list][sub]"That is absolutely barbaric and it cannot stand at all. Understanding the mentality of General Zadi being similar to the tin-pot dictator in Egypt, his sources of revenue has to be destroyed to weaken his authority and submit him to surrender. It would be difficult to force this military man out of his position because of the loyalty of the military to his authority...but he is not impenetrable. He is killing Muslims...he is destroying culture and traditions. The Qur'an states in Surah 2 verses 190-193:[/sub][/list]

[list][list]Fight against those who fight against you in the way of God, but do not transgress, for God does not love transgressors. Kill them whenever you confront them and drive them out from where they drove you out. (For though killing is sinful) wrongful persecution is even worse than killing. Do not fight against them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight against you; but if they fight against you kill them, for that is the reward of such unbelievers. Then if they desist, know well that God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Compassionate. Keep on fighting against them until mischief ends and the way prescribed by God prevails. But if they desist, then know that hostility is only against the wrong-doers.[/list][/list]

[list][sub]You have to destroy the pillars that General Zadi upholds himself on. Granted. I can block oil and gas from entering his Socialist Republic and perhaps the Zaydis could destroy his cargo ships as they move through the Gulf of Aden to and from the Suez Canal. That is possible. More clandestine options would be sending Islamic forces covertly to upend the society in his Republic and force him into a corner."[/sub][/list]

Sultan Rashid: What do you think my elder?

Sultan Nouriddin: I agree with blocking oil & gas as well as cargo ships. Send some Arabian naval ships to do so, see to it that the Mahajangan cargo ships dont get out of Malagasian waters. Zadi shall do no trade! This will help avoid any Egyptian supplies that could come later on too.

Sultan Rashid: Furthermore, I would say what Zadi has done was overt therefore he should be removed overtly. An assassination could lead to way more chaos than we know. What if Zadi’s forces with no clear leader turn on each other or go on a rampage across Mahajanga forcing a refugee crisis? If that unrest in Mahajanga spills over into my sultanate of Toliara or his sultanate of Merina, then our own people will be furious and accuse us & have our heads. The noble families will also lose any hope of returning to the status quo and will undoubtedly grow ambitious and try to kill us both to replace us.

Sultan Nouriddin: Then how about this Emir & Sultan Rashid... USAN can send us weapons such as guns and state of the art artillery & aircraft that we can use to intimidate Zadi. Grand Emir what do you say to that?

Both Sultan Rashid & Sultan Nouriddin looked at each other with smiles of elation. They sighed with relief and nodded to the Grand Emir in unison.

Sultan Nouriddin: Subhanallah, we are now allies with the Custodians of Mecca & Medina and a descendant of our beloved Prophet.

Sultan Rashid: O Sultan, you speak with such eloquence and flattery haha. But thank you Grand Emir, you have given us a sense of security. For a second back on the island, it seemed as though things would descend into chaos but with the citizens of Toliara and Merina seeing that the powerful USAN navy will be blockading Zadi & financially crippling him, and with our Islamic scholars and Arabian Islamic scholars uniting to use that huge platform to condemn Zadi, no one will want to go socialist and his own people in Mahajanga will force him out in no time. If we’re lucky, his men will turn their guns against him and surrender to both Sultan Nouriddin and I.

Sultan Nouriddin: The noble families will be pleased with this. No one else could’ve mediated this issue. The people of Malagasia are a fierce people, most of them farmers or miners living in small towns in the harsh environments our island with a strong belief in Islam and very hostile view of the outside world since colonisation from the British & French ended in 1960. Had we had to turn any Western power, perhaps our the conservative nobility would’ve overthrown us and rallied the people to go to war. But as a Muslim power with all the Islamic legitimacy across all sects, none can dispute your involvement.

Once Emir Abdullah was done handling the files she would walk to the door and end her once in a lifetime interaction with him by saying.

General Zadi destroys evil monarchy and creates glorious Socialist people's democratic republic of Mahajanga:

After major protests against Sultan Memedi took place for months over the harsh economic downturns for farmers and workers in the Mahajanga Sultanate, General Zadi launched a military coup recently that deposed Sultan Memedi & established a Revolutionary Socialist Council made up of his lost loyal soldiers.

While this coup was celebrated by the Mahajangan people who had grown to despise Sultan Memedi, they expected General Zadi to instate a new member of the Al Zafy royal family that would be a better leader. To their horror however, only several weeks after launching his coup, General Zadi recently announced:[/list]

[list]“The Al Zafy Royal Family has been sentenced to death for their crimes against the Mahajangan people. Furthermore, Islamic scholars who supported the Al Zafy Royal Family & claimed that Allah supported their rule will be exiled. Finally, a new age shall start in which the Mahajangan Republic will be formed ruled by the Socialist Party led by me, the new President Zadi.

In response to the Union-States of Arabia’s Alzarikstan sanctions, I request financial aid from Egypt Izanostan and my fellow socialist comrade General El Azad. As for the request of Sultan Rashid II of Toliara & Sultan Nouriddin of Merina to meet for peace talks...

I respectfully decline to discuss the future of a Republic with monarchs.[/list]

Since then, Zadi’s army has managed to restore order in Mahajanga & have began imposing a curfew. Many Mahajangan Islamic scholars loyal to the former royal family have already been exiled, most of whom have made their way to either Turkey Abessinienreich or Arabia and the Al Zafy Royal Family will probably have already begun being executed.

The Sultanates of Merina & Toliara have since been entirely on edge. This has never before been seen in the history of the island of Malagasia. Deposing a tyrannical sultan was one thing, but executing and entire royal family that had existed for centuries and Islamic scholars being exiled was a step too far. For most people on the island, this was akin to establishing a kingdom in Paramerica Paramountica and forcefully removing the Papacy from the Vatican.

Sultan Rashid II & Sultan Nouriddin are rumoured to be in Arabia right now discussing the chaos that has just taken place in their neighbour’s state.

[spoiler=Summary: Mahajanga is now a republic, ruled by a socialist despot who used his military power to remove a bad sultan after popular protests. Sultans of neighbouring Merina & Toliara, are furious at this, they wanted the bad sultan replaced not a whole new socialist republic trying to emulate Egypt, set up next door. They cant rest until Zadi meets them or perishes, so off to Arabia it is to see if they can find an ally in their cause.]

[list][list][pre] Bangladeshi foreign minister issues condemnation towards general Zadi.[/pre][/list][/list]

[pre]________________[/pre]

[pre]In a recent press conference Bangladeshi minister of foreign affairs Abul Kalam Abdul Momen released the official Bangladeshi statement on the coup in the Mahajanga sultanate by general Zadi while also releasing his own statement. Relations between Bangladesh and the Malagasian sultanates had always been good as Bangladesh was a big investor, frequently exported arms to the sultanates, was a large source of the island's tourism and there were Bangladeshi companies in the sultanates, whether it be the micro-finance organization Grameen bank or the giant BEXIMCO they were there but recently relations with the Mahajanga had soured due to the coup. He said the following in his statement

Abul Kalam Abdul Momen: "Today the tragic and barbaric coup in the Mahajanga sultanate has come to our notice, Bangladesh throughout it's history has always been close to the Mahajanga as it was one of the first nations to recognise Bangladesh after it's independence from Pakistan in 1971. The recent coup d'etat by general Zadi is an unjust one, the execution of Mahajanga's ruler and the exiling of scholars is reminiscent of Pakistani rule in Bangladesh and as everyone knows Pakistani rule was oppressive. I have no doubt that this illegitimate socialist government will be any less authoritarian to it's own people! This evil coup cannot go unnoticed by the world. It has not went unnoticed in Bangladesh."

Gaddafi is anything but pro-west lol.

The only thing that's changed in this timeline is he and Sisi saw eye-to-eye...well enough to unite at some point.

Lmaoooo, General Zadi overestimated Egypt’s prosperity. That’s what happens you a general in the army with little knowledge of geopolitics tries to be a politician.

What are you talking about? The Arab League was founded in 1945.

He absolutely is a western puppet. He's a neoliberal who is extremely friendly to western capital.

I'll send some boats or something. But I can't spare much right now. I want the US to respond and remove his troops from Egypt or make his position on them clear anyways before I post.

Rania: If only that mentality was shared by leaders all over the world... perhaps then it would be a better place.

Once Emir Abdullah was done handling the files she would walk to the door and end her once in a lifetime interaction with him by saying.

Rania: May Allah give you the shoulders necessary to hold the burden of USAN upon them. As someone who’s lived in the Middle East now since I was 18, I can truly say it will not be easy.

Placing the files to the side, Abdullah II would wait for Rania to be far away from the office before making a quick phone call to the Interior Ministry to get more information regarding who Rania is.

Within seconds, an administrative assistant would pick up the phone.

Admin: One moment...

There some typing heard over the phone for around 5 minutes, then the admin proceeded to give the Grand Emir what he wanted to know. This only further highlighted the efficiency of this gargantuan nation.

Admin: Rania Hamid. Aged 27. Our records inherited from the previous Iranian occupational database says Rania was born to an Iranian mother, she was a Persian Shia charity worker in the... Toliara Sultanate on the island of Malagasia. It also says here that her mother married a man who’s name is coded as M... one second...

There would be more typing.

Admin: Ya Allah, it appears Rania Hamid is a princess... daughter of Sultan Rashid II of Toliara. She was raised on Malagasia until she was 18, deep records state she has been heard saying to her friends that her father sent her to live with her mother showing signs of being “too sympathetic to commoners” whatever that means. Oh, and she is a skilled worker in the tech industry. Says here on her job application she stated her goals are to... o-oppose tyranny. Is there anything more you’d like to know Grand Emir?

To understand the relationship between Gaddafi and Sisi and Libya and Egypt you would have to understand the shared IC canon that they share.

Taking a brief moment of silence, Abdullah II would sit back in his chair tapping his fingers on his desk before he would speak.

Emir Abdullah II:

[list][sub]"...this oppose tyranny...is that directed toward the Iranians or tyranny in general? Are there any records of her mother participating in revolutionary actions in the Gulf against Iran? Against Arabs? Does the Sultan know that she is here? I would like for you to send her residency address to my secretary. I need to pay Rania a surprise visit."[/sub][/list]

Yes Sisi had good relations with Russia and China

But that doesn't mean Sisi wasn't pro-west

Yes but he was more western leaning

Egypt in general would be considered very pro-west until the socialist stuff
