الغالبية الحوثية تعلن العودة إلى النظام الملكي الثيوقراطي من أجل الاستقرار بعد فشل غزو غالا[/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]
The repelling of the forces of Nonador from Aden provided a sense of relief and solidarity among the Yemeni people. The formation of the USAN in addition to assurances that Yemen as a political entity would remain independent within the institutions of the USAN further provided senses of relief and optimism about the future of the country and people. With the Crusaders on the retreat with the assistance of the Kingdom of the Saudi Arabia and the AFS to the rescue, genuine conversations began to circulate around Sana'a discussing the realities of Yemen and its future. With its ascension into the USAN, Yemen has been able to acquire access to necessary resources and capital to reverse economic trends of impending collapse as well as easing of many social stresses on institutions to address large unemployment.
Observing the retreating of the Gallan forces from the coast, Marshal Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar, and the President of the Supreme Political Council Mahdi al-Mashat would come together for negotiating the future government of Yemen that will ensure its utmost security and development. At the current moment, Yemen was the only Republic left on the Peninsula as all other member-states are monarchs. Historically, Yemen has been ruled under countless monarchies, caliphates, and makeshift tribal kingdoms, thus it was possible to re-establish Yemen as a Kingdom under a theocratic system upheld by the Sunni majority with a unicameral legislative assembly that will have have representation based on religious demographic statistics, thus the necessity of vital census records to be had every 5 years. As it stood, 65% of the Yemeni Muslim population is Sunni and 34.5% is Shia (predominantly Zaydi).
With Mahdi al-Mashat rather hesitant to rather agree to this, Mahdi did not really have much of a choice as he understood that the minute he attempted to restart the Houthi insurgency against Sana'a, the USAN Self Defense Force would be activated and his movement destroyed. Without much a choice, Mahdi al-Mashat would agree to this new establishment of the return of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen under the dictation of the Marshal Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi as the Imam-King, General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar as Deputy to the Imam-King, and Mahdi al-Mashat as Speaker of the Yemeni Deliberative Council. The revelation of the King-Imamate was rather accepted with mixed feelings; however, it did receive an approval from the religious sects of society. Nonetheless, Mahdi al-Mashat would provide the Houthis guarantees of political representation as the 2nd largest represented bloc in the Yemeni Deliberative Council behind the Sunnis, who appear to demonstrate their approval of the Imam-King being Sunni.
Some components of the Yemeni society would demonstrate their fears as possible regression into the growth of societal restrictions based on Islamic script interpretations; however, Marshal Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi has decreed that the future of Yemen will be determined in accordance and collaboration to policies and initiatives dictated by the USAN Supreme Arab Directorate in Abu Dhabi. Understanding the moderately centrist approach to peninsular governance. What this would mean is effectively a proper check and balance on the new Yemeni state to curtail any potential abuses, extensive corruption, and institutional blockages toward progress and the elevation of the Arab people.
Official announcements of the changing political system would be provided to Abu Dhabi as well as the sending of new representatives that reflect this. Although the new regime is a theocratic absolute monarchy, the Yemeni regime has indicated that it is imperative that equality of religious acceptance and practice be a cornerstone of the new society to ensure social cohesion in accordance to Abdulhramanist doctrine.

In much anticipation, Chief of Staff of the USAN Defense Force MAJ Gen. Ahmad Asiri announced a new SAM system entitled the Sahab Surface-to-Air Missile Defense System. As the USAn prides itself as the defender of the Red Sea, Arabian Sea, and the Arabian Gulf, the A2/AD networks that have been implemented is a physical manifestation of the new Arab strategic defense thinking and policy direction. While leaving some confidential parts of the system out of the announcement, the following specifications were approved to be revealed:
[list][pre]Sahab Surface to Air Missile Defense System: Short, Medium, & Long Range[/pre][/list]
[list][list][sub]1 Sahab System = 60 launchers & max of 240 missiles (240 miles – 15 miles missile range)[/sub][/list][/list]
[pre]A. MISSILES:[/pre]
[list][pre]i. 20 launchers for short, 20 for medium, and 20 for Long Range

vi. AlÂ’ufuq 100R10PE low-level radar detector radar: tracks maximum of 60 targets; anti-jamming technology[/pre][/list]
With the import-substitution industrialization policies of the USAN and previous deals of acquiring the technology and designs from modern SAM systems such as the Bavar-373 as well as various Korean SAM systems, the USAN plans to take these technological blueprints and research toward the production of a modern, comprehensive SAM system that will enshrine modern Arab defense ingenuity but also the elevation of the USAN as a defensive power and regional authority. It is projected that the SAM system will most likely be completed in 2027 with current trends and ample funding at the ready to make the SAM a reality. Chief of Staff of the USAN Defense Force MAJ Gen. Ahmad Asiri indicated that this is only the beginning for the USAN military industrial complex within the overall dual use economy.

[I]Step one invest invest €43.5bn in infrastructure projects in the next 15 years under This plan envisages the construction of 6,800km of roads and the modernisation of 5,000km of railways by 2030.Â
We lost Investors who have repeatedly underlined that the lack of modern infrastructure in Romania affects their productivity and exports, while poor infrastructure also keeps investment away. We lost a €500mn investment from German car producer Daimler because of its weak infrastructure,
Automobile Dacia’s former general manager Nicolas Maure estimated that a motorway connecting the plant with the Sibiu-Nadlac motorway in the western part of the country, and further with Hungary and Western Europe, would help the company save €30 on each car it produces in Romania.
This master plan secures the construction of more than 6,800km of road, of which 1,500km of motorway and more than 1,300km of express roads,”
Along with this we will also invest in better faster air transportation, make lanes better for emergency services , build stronger power grids with all in all makes things better for us and then citizens of Romania we also will be improveing internet service making phone and Internet service cheaper and more available to everyone.

Notice from the Parliament of the Ivory Coast
After long demand from opposition parties, the Parliament held a vote to decide whether an emergency election should be held, this vote won in the national assembly with a vote of 150 for, and 105 against. The vote also won in the Senate, with 59 for, and 40 against.
There will be a 1 month period of time allowing for candidates to register, and another 6 month period of campaigning.
Current registered candidates are President Amadou Soumahoro of the RHDP, Jean-Luc Bédié of the PDCI-RIA, and Didier Yves Drogba Tébily, an independent and former soccer player.
Ivory Gazzate article on the recent announcement of the emergency elections
"Certainly, the recent parlimentery vote has been a surprise, but this is also a showing that the Preisdents own party is starting to turn on him. However, the 2 other candidates currently running are more of a suprise, firstly, Jean Luc Bèdié, the son of the former head of the PDCI-RIA, was chosen almost unanimously as the new party leader and candidate for the emergency elections. He is a pro-business Pan-Africanist. But is fairly progressive socially.
Another, even larger suprise, is Didier Yves Drogba Tébily, a former soccer player, is running under a platform of Social Democracy, he has been endorsed by the Ivorian Popular Front.
Currently, this election can go many ways, it is important to look out for endorsements, scandals, and campaigns that will soon start however, those very well could start being the signs of how the election will turn out.

[list][list][sub]Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit was elected Prime Minister of Thailand.[/sub][/list][/list]
[list]| The 2024 Thai General Election was one of the most successful in Thai history. With men and women throughout Thailand making their way to the polling booths in order to show their devotion to the new democracy of Thailand. People of all walks of life made their voices heard by all government officials in Thailand. Tight restrictions that were placed on the shoulders of the Thai people by their government were lifted by the signing of the 21st Thai Constitution and the opening of the election by the national government was an impeccable display of matrimony between Thailand and democratic order. |[/list]
[list][list][list][pre] " . . . We (the Thai government) can no longer justify any and all restrictions of the Thai people. Prior restrictions were clearly justified by consistent and unending civil disobedience and unrest. Which were capitalized and heightened by a people who were unwilling to do their civic duties. Prior issues with the government lead to a justified reclamation by the [Thai] military and soon thereafter, a process of collectivity and reassurance was needed before Thailand could bring itself together. But, with the signing of the twenty-first constitution and the blessings we received from the Royal Family, this administration has no further reasons to continue martial law nor restrict the former Thai lifestyle. "
— Prayut Chan-o-cha, 29th Prime Minister of Thailand[/pre][/list][/list][/list]
[list]| New Future Forward Party prime ministerial candidate, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, led his party through a series of major victories in the 2024 Thai Election. The New Future Forward Party took the election by storm, winning a whopping one hundred and seventy-nine seats in the National Assembly. Only three days after the election was held, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, Move Forward Party leader and prime ministerial candidate; Pita Limjaroenrat, as well as Reformed Liberal Party prime ministerial candidate; Suphajee Suthumpun, came together to build a coalition of sorts, in order to form the majority in the National Assembly and therefore become the leading figures of the Thai government with Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit emerging as the Prime Minister of the nation. |[/list]
[list]| In his first public address to the people, following his partyÂ’s victory in the general election, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit re-outlined his and his partyÂ’s intentions and policies for the future of Thailand. He said quote; |[/list]
[list][list][list][pre] " . . . The future of Thailand is not as uncertain as it once was. Threats of violence, possibilities of dictatorial rule, censorship and furthered restrictions on our way of life; no longer. The Thai future is nearly certain, the path that we walk will not be paved by military personnel, blood or agony. It will be paved by a society of people who are willing to get their hands dirty and lift their democracy out of the mud and onto the mountain top. From the depths of the ocean to the peak of Doi Inthanon. Forward Thailand! "
— Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, Prime Minister of Thailand[/pre][/list][/list][/list]
[list][list][sub]Prime Minister Juangroongruangkit issues formal request for the abdication of King Rama X days after invitation to form government.[/sub][/list][/list]
[list]| Just three days following the KingÂ’s invitation to Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit to form the government, Prime Minister Juangroongruangkit and his government coalition issued a formal request for King Rama X to abdicate the throne. In doing so, his abdication would lead to his permanent exile to a country of his choice. The state would leave him US$8,000,000 of his US$80,000,000,000 estate and leave the rest to the remainder of the royal family. As per the constitution, if his abdication does continue, Queen Suthida would become the official head of state of Thailand. |[/list]
[list]| Prime Minister Juangroongruangkit addressed the National Assembly this afternoon with the abdication request. Saying quote; |[/list]
[list][list][list][pre] " . . . With a formal end to the era of violence, to the era of disorder and the era of dictatorial rule, the Thai people would wish to formally denounce and renounce the current royal administration and seek to install new leadership. Which will, hopefully, join us in our denunciation of the prior administrationÂ’s leniency with dictatorial rule and join us in a new age of freedom and democracy. This request for abdication is not a step towards republicanism, instead it is a step towards furthered cooperation with the democratic aspects of the Thai government and her monarch. The long march towards companionship and cooperation starts with a single step. Let this be; our first step. "

MONTHS-LONG DEBATE CULMINATES IN "COMMITTEE FOR CULTURAL SURVIVAL"
[list][sup]PARLIAMENT LOOKS TO DEFEND FINNO-UGRIC LANGUAGES
FINLAND—AUTUMN 2024[/sup][/list]
The eighteenth committee of the Finnish Parliament was inaugurated on Tuesday, the 10th of December, 2024, as several months of planning culminated in the creation of the Committee for Cultural Survival. The committee, which will have seventeen permanent members—in accordance with several of the other committees—has been the result of a Paraliment-wide push in the interest of linguistic and cultural preservation that has swept Finnish politics lately. It is meant to encourage and better facilitate legislation regarding the protection of declining languages, fading traditions, and waning cultural identities.
The first suggestion of such a committee was made in February 2024 by Prime Minister Orpo himself, who has increasingly found favor in voters in his support of Finnishness and the protection of Finno-Ugric people—an issue said to be particularly moving for young people struggling to find an identity in an increasingly globalized world. Though initial planning was bogged down by disagreements over the intentions of such a political organ, pessimistic accounts of the status of minor Finno-Ugric languages abroad—particularly the near-extinct tongues of the Votes and Izhorians in Ingria—pressed Finnish politicians to find an answer to the growing problem.
Members of the Committee for Cultural Survival were quick to act. Kaisa Juuso, a Finns Party representative of Lapland currently serving on the committee, expressed her intentions to appeal to Russia about the creation of language nests to help preserve the integrity of dying Finnic languages in Ingria, as well as gradually declining Finnic languages in Karelia and elsewhere, on the evening of her appointment to the Committee, and plans for the Committee's first meeting are already concrete.

The Kingdom of Spain opens the Spanglosphere Conference in Madrid between Mexico, La Plata, Centroamerica, Spain, and the Philippines
| Representatives of the various former Spanish colonies and Spanish-speaking nations of Mexico, La Plata, Centroamerica, and the Philippines, assembled in Madrid on November 19 where His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain officially opened the Spanglosphere International Conference of 2024 (SIC 2024) at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid in Madrid, Spain. The Spanglosphere International Conference is a joint multilateral conference between Osivoii, Nevbrejnovitz, Ranponian, New Provenance, and Crazybloxian Empire. |
| The main goal of the conference is to expand the existing cultural and linguistic links between the various invited nations in order to further expand and nourish the friendships between Spanish-speaking nations and former Spanish colonies, as well as to encourage trade, investments, and interaction between Mexico, La Plata, Centroamerica, Spain, and the Philippines. Her Royal Highness Princess Leonor, Princess of Asturias, spoke before the various international representatives at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos de Madrid after her father, the King of Spain, officially opened the conference. |
Her Royal Highness Princess Leonor of Spain:
[list][sub]"My fellowmen. Foreign delegates, representatives, and heads of state. Madam Prime Minister and our Senators. Our great nations have come together today - in this day and age - because of the strong cultural links that continue to connect our nations despite our hardships, our conflicts, our disagreements. Our united cultures have stood steadfast against the forces of time, discord, and war. That is why we are here today. To continue to nourish, expand, and recognize these relationships between our countries. We have been through many hardships, many conflicts, and many arguments. Families were divided, friendships torn, and governments collapsed. We are all assembled here today because of the idea that culture unites us as it has united us in these times of crisis. We are here today to expand, connect, and establish relationships between our nations. Meaningful and fruit-bearing relationships. Our nations - united in language and culture but divided in nationality and color - have chosen to come together today, united under one banner. That banner is the banner of humanity. Of hope. Of everlasting peace. We come here today with the goal of reaching out to every human being, every animal, every plant, to give each and every living thing a hope of a rich, prosperous, and happy life. I personally believe that the cooperation that will be created by this Conference will help us achieve these goals of upholding our culture, defending our languages, and creating a better world. The Kingdom of Spain stands with her Spanish-speaking allies here today and indeed with the whole of humanity, no matter what identity, gender, race, or status. We are here today to give the Spanish-speaking world a chance to stand united, and I am confident in our ability to achieve that goal."[/sub][/list]
| The Spanglosphere International Conference is expected to design and create new relationships and agreements with the goal of eradicating widespread poverty, gender and racial inequality, and other aspects of life that continue to bring down millions of Spanish-speaking citizens of the world. The Conference will also tackle educational restraints in poorer nations, with the Spanish delegation to the Conference, led by Prime Minister Augustina Torres, planning to present an education expansion plan that will put the Kingdom of Spain at the forefront of a possible joint educational fund among the various nations of the Spanglosphere. Many look forward to what the Spanglosphere Conference is hoping to and will achieve in the coming days and weeks, from education for all, to student exchange programs, to investments into clean energy and infrastructure. |
[spoiler=OOC note to Osivoii, Nevbrejnovitz, Ranponian, and Crazybloxian Empire]
The discussions for this conference will be done most probably on Discord and not on the RMB. A final summary post that details the agreements reached by our nations will be released once the conference is formally concluded.[/spoiler]

Nuclear program
With the program being from the soviet era , The government along with Queen Margareta has been discussing ways to modernize the power grids through the nuclear program to better suite the needs of the people in a modren state , old technology could cause a power crises or a nuclear meltdown like that at Chernobyl which the Romania government would like to avoid,
The problem at the moment is the government doesnt exactly know where all the funds and materials will come from to modernize the nuclear program so has of now its just discussion in the palace.
Queen Margareta has plans to travel to france in the coming days to meet with president macron and hopefully make some progress in some ideas she has to propose this trip will be her first trip out of the country since she took the Romania throne ,she hasnt stated any other state visits that she may be planning so as far as this reporter knows france is her only one.

Step 2 - making power grids like nuclear and wind to better cut back on coal to stop pollution in the air
Step 3 starting to make paper checks extinct and paper money extinct in order to cut down on deforestation planning to cut back on this slowly will take time these steps should help the environment starting with us in the kingdom of Romania

President Khalil Arrested In Soft Coup, Police and Militias Flood The Streets
December, 2024
_______________
Al-Naqirah, suburb of Homs
[list]Abbud BadawiÂ’s Honda grumbled to a stop as it pulled around the corner into an alley. The little AC unit in the dashboard whined with effort as it tried to keep up with an uncharacteristically warm Syrian autumn. He put the car into park and stepped out, retrieving a dusty briefcase from the passenger seat and slamming the door closed. He pushed open the door of his familyÂ’s little apartment with a sigh and stepped into the living room. His wife and child were gone to the market, buying dinner. Abbud left his briefcase on the counter and grabbed the TV remote, falling back into the couch. He flipped the channel to a Turkish soap opera he enjoyed and turned up the volume.
”How could you do this Esmeray? You have disrespect this fami-“
The TV crackled and the Emergency Broadcast tone droned over the TV. Abbud sat up, an annoyed look on his face. The national coat of arms filled the screen for a moment, then was replaced by the face of Interior Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi. He spoke boldly and evenly:
”People of the Arab Federal States, I address you now in a time of crisis. It is with utmost sorrow that I must inform you of a change in the federal government. Under my authority as Interior Minister, Zahir Khalil, Omar Razzaz and Khalid al-Obaidi have been arrested. They have been stripped of their offices and charged with conspiracy to subvert democracy. In line with constitutional provisions regarding succession, I have assumed the office of President.”
The crimes of these men, those trusted to protect and administer our democracy, are far reaching. Since the creation of the National Restoration Coalition, Mr. Khalil pressured me to conduct illegal and unwarranted investigations into those he saw as his enemies. I continually opposed this. In recent hours, he and Omar Razzaz openly ordered me to conduct the arrest of major opposition leaders. I flatly rejected this. Failing that, they attempted to order General Yarallah, Chairman of the NDC, to do the same. Fulfilling our duties to the Federacy, General Yarallah and myself relieved both of their offices and placed them under arrest.”
When I swore the oath of office, I committed myself to peace and justice. In my tenure as President, this same oath will guide me. Zahir Khalil and Omar Razzaz will face justice for their transgressions. In the coming hours, corroborating evidence will be made public to confirm this narrative. For the temporary preservation of public safety and order, I have authorized increased deployments of Federal Police and National Guardin major cities.
I will see the country through this difficult time, inshallah.”
Abbud sat in stunned silence for a moment, digesting the broadcast. He threw his head back and let out a loud groan.
“Again? Really? Again?”[/list]
________________
The Green Zone, Baghdad
[list]Now-President Kadhimi announced his ascension on State TV only minutes after it occurred. With a narrative already established, he now had to secure his power, which was in truth much more fragile than the public would know. Indeed, no such story existed as was publicly acknowledged. Reality was much simpler and much bloodier. There was no climatic showdown between Kadhimi and Khalil, no dramatic arrest or tragic exchange. The two hadnÂ’t even spoken to each other in days since their exchange regarding the NDC.
On the morning of December 7th, Minister Kadhimi woke up and got ready as if it was any other day, and reported to the Interior Ministry office. He handled routine paperwork, signing requests and expense reports. At a prescribed time, it was known President Khalil would be traveling out of the Green Zone. It was none other than the Interior Ministry that was responsible for Presidential security but the President would not be accompanied by his usual security detail today. Instead he would be transported by members of the 25th Special Forces Division, the so-called “Tiger Forces.” In their false National Police uniforms, they brought the Presidential convoy to the edge of the Green Zone and detoured into an alley. There, Khalil was pulled from his limo at an unceremonious gunpoint. He, along with his Vice-President and Defense Minister, would be taken to a secretive prison outside of Baghdad. At the same time Minister Kadhimi and General Yarallah would be on their way to a State TV broadcast station to announce their coup.
The next most important priority was locking down Baghdad. The task of protecting the city was given to the 77th Mechanized Infantry, the former Syrian Republican Guard. Khalil had it assigned to Baghdad, believing it to be the best formation in the Army, neglecting the fact that it held no loyalty to him. On every major highway and road coming in and out of Baghdad, checkpoints were established. No civilian traffic was allowed through, save for business and supply. Within the city, life was continuing mostly as normal. No curfew or lockdown was imposed but 77th APCs accompanied expanded Police patrols in all districts.
Look to the Green Zone however, and it would seem to be a ghost town. At all federal government housing, CTB Special Forces had isolated the district, placing dozens of government officials on house arrest. Communications were being monitored, including those of all ANU Congressmen across the country. Kadhimi and the military were preparing to purge the government of any and all ANU influence.
Just as President Kadhimi promised, National Police flooded the streets of large cities in anticipation of major protests and riots. And they did come: in the first evening after the arrest was announced, six cities broke out into violence and protests. Whether the additional police provoked the protests or mitigated them is entirely unknown. The poorer Sunni districts of Baghdad ignited, calling for President KhalilÂ’s release and clashing with police. In towns and cities where no violence occurred a notable tension gripped the people. With so little information available, no one was quite sure what to believe. Was this a legitimate arrest? Was it a coup? Would there be a counter-coup? Would the AFS be plunged into another war?
In some cities and most of the rural country, a very different story played out. No National Guard or military police were deployed, indeed even the regular police seemed notably absent. Instead the people were met with the forces of tribal militiamen. While the Police and military were nominally in charge, in many parts of the country, tribes, tribal confederations, and local minorities wielded militias that rivaled or superseded government garrisons. This was most prevalent in Iraq State and North and East Syria. Groups like the Dulaim Tribe and Syriac Military Council provided local protection where the state could not and exacted tribal justice that the state could not stop. For the Arabs, tribes were an irrevocable part of society, and tribal allegiances traced their way into the military and government. Now the time had come to exercise that power.
Militias rolled through the streets on foot and in technicals and pick-ups. To the people of any given town or village, these werenÂ’t government forces or outsides, they were neighbors and brothers. A noticeable amount were simply police officers with their uniforms tossed aside. In most places, the police stepped aside and let the tribal militias assert control. In other places it was challenged: sporadic violence broke out as police fought militias for control. When rebelling police across the country realized the military would refuse them assistance, resistance collapsed.
To the observant, the clues told the story of a soft coup orchestrated by tribes, security forces, and government opposition. To some Arabs it would eventually be seen as a restoration of Arab culture and societal tradition. To others it was a reversal of progress and development.
Legitimate or not, power had changed hands in the Arab Federal States.[/list]

[list][list]GWADAR: THE NEW DUBAI[/list][/list]
[sub]
[list]| ISLAMABAD — This is a special edition of The Pakistan Observer, covering the long awaited Gwadar City Megaproject, nearing completion in 2030. It has been claimed to be, in one observer’s words, “Think Dubai, but in a much quicker timeframe.” However, first we will go into the history of the port city and its importance. |
| Gwadar for most of its history was a small town, with a small, fishing based industry. It was under Omani control despite being surrounded by the British Raj, until 1954, when Pakistan managed to buy the land from Oman, becoming part of the Balochistan province. Its importance is that it is a deep sea water port, meaning that it can handle large ships and become a big port in general, which is the main reason for this project.|
| It is part of the bigger project called CPEC, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, a giant series of megaprojects to increase Chinese-Pakistani trade, where it had began in 2002. This giant port has completed the following: 4 Container Berths along 3.2 kilometres of shoreline, 1 Bulk Cargo Terminal (capacity: 100,000 DWT ships), 1 Grain Terminal, 1 Ro-Ro Terminal, 2 oil terminals (capacity: 200,000 DWT ships each), Floating liquefied natural gas terminal with capacity of 500 million cubic feet of gas per day, and a 2,292-acre special economic zone to be developed adjacent to the port.|
| There have also been a lot of infrastructure projects for this, such as a 114 million dollar desalination plant for the city, a $230 million airport, and a $140 million expressway to connect Gwadar to the rest of Pakistan. A floating liquefied natural gas facility that will have a capacity of 500 million cubic feet of liquified natural gas per day will also be built at the port. So far it has done well in catering to Central Asian Nations, even when it was not completed.|
| Other than the port, the star is the Special Economic Zone, or SEZ. There will be a 2,282 acre free trade area, expected to employ about 40,000 people. The special economic zone will include manufacturing zones, logistics hubs, warehouses, and display centres. Businesses established in the special economic zone would be exempt from Pakistani income, sales, and federal excise taxes for 23 years. Contractors and subcontractors associated with the China Overseas Port Holding Company will be exempt from such taxes for 20 years, while a 40-year tax holiday will be granted for imports of equipment, materials, plants, machinery, appliances and accessories that are to be for construction of Gwadar Port and special economic zone. A 10 billion dollar Royal Dutch Shell oil refinery has also been completed, bolstering it. So, it will be practically a tax free haven, to live up to its nickname as the new Dubai. |
| The special economic zone will be completed in three phases. By the start of 2025, the manufacturing and processing industries will be developed, while further expansion of the zone is intended to be complete by 2030.Zhang Baozhong, chairman of China Overseas Port Holding Company said that his company could spend a total of $4.5 billion on roads, power, hotels and other infrastructure for the industrial zone, which he said would be open to non-Chinese companies. The company also plans to build an international airport and power plant for Gwadar.|
| The project has also come under criticism as it gives “too much leniency to China”. However, Pakistani and Chinese government officials have denied this, saying that this is for the friendship and growth the two nations share. Already it is projected to add 6 billion USD to the Pakistani GDP, becoming a 200-300 billion addition by the year 2030 according to experts. Right now, it is leading to Pakistani becoming a hotspot for investments including the growing Afghan provinces' mining industry. Overall, the future is looking bright for this project as it is going on time, and with the right leadership it will succeed.|[/list]

Oh my! A rare
From an economic and militaristic viewpoint for Nigeria, it wouldnÂ’t make sense. The costs and travel itself would be problematic for a nation such as yourself and the cost to maintain yourself in a foreign war would in the long run not be worth it.
Nigeria should focus on its own problems before meddling in others
Victoria Harbor, Vancouver Straits, Zamdrieak
I am planning More battle ships somehow, as well as the Air Force Airplanes that are high-quality Military equipment. I am making tanks, and I might do a nuclear weapons test.
Yep, true.
But sometimes you gotta intervene you know?
Stablity is declining in Arab Federal States
And I am focusing on my problems, Will focus on Insurgencies tomorrow.
col is semi realistic, so people rp basically irl nations and their resources, but in different pathways, if you know what i mean.
Zamdrieak
Anything relating to the issues side of gameplay are not tolerated in the COL's RP.
Zamdrieak
Yeah, I am making Nigeria a great power in International Affairs.
Oh okay.
Thanks for letting me know.
Can we still do nuclear weapons tests?
Or no?
dude thats not realistic, your nation is in crippling poverty and you want to invade iraq
Zamdrieak
Fine man.
Never mind, not gonna interefere in Iraq.
Mesuvia
Intervene if it has a major impact. Other than that youÂ’re wasting money and resources
Zamdrieak
alright thanks
Zamdrieak
Hmm alright.......
Hope i do not get banned.
And i will do it when i am good.
By the way i will send a telegram to you.
Yeah
I will send telegrams to you and Canovia
No. The Commonwealth of Liberty's Code of Law dictates nations, regardless of IRL circumstances, may only possess nuclear weapons if they are given by the United States or Russia (both consenting). Nonetheless, there is no circumstance that a nuclear-armed Nigeria would be considered realistic and tolerated by the RP community.

PARACALE CARTEL FREES 1,000 HOSTAGES
In exchange for the amnesty of one of the cartel officials alongside his promise to completely cease and desist from all criminal activity, the Paracale Cartel which continues to illegally occupy Paracale has freed 1,000 of the hostages.
Even more leaked videos from local residents have shown the cartel implementing stricter guidelines and higher drug production quotas.
Gunshots rang through the town and the nearby government tents, presumably people failing to meet their drug production quota being shot but they have taken it with a grain of salt as there is no visual evidence yet.
The cartel official, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his identity, will be called "K".
K is presumably in his 20s to 30s, from details scraped from the press release recordings, and was born somewhere in Visayas.
Meanwhile, the military has not completely abandoned the idea of a violent retaking of the town, which could last 6 months to 2 years and put the hostages at risk.
More updates are expected to come as the PNP is set to publish the transcripts of the negotiations with cartel officials next week.

[list]Belarusian military stages coup against Pres. Lukashenko, invites Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to return as President[/list]
| A convoy of ten BTR-80 armored vehicles from the First Motorized Company of the Belarusian Ground Forces rumbled along through the mostly empty streets of Minsk, the capital of Belarus. In the days prior, General Oleg Belokonev, recently assigned Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, had began the organization of a military parade to honor the fallen police officers fighting against 'revolutionary forces attempting to throw out of balance the process of democracy'. Belokonev deployed 550 infantry and the First Motorized Company to the Independence Palace in Minsk, better known as the Presidential Palace.
As the convoy of BTR-80 armored vehicles, escorted by five BTR-70 armored vehicles and three Minsk Metropolitan Police sedans, turned into the Presidential compound, specially selected military personnel sat inside the BTRs, loading their weapons with ammunition. They had been personally briefed by General Belokonev on their mission: 'Capture President Lukashenko and ensure that all loyalists to his tyrannical regime are deported, arrested, or eliminated'. General Belokonev's words echoed in the minds of the troops as the BTRs came to a halt outside the front door of the Independence Palace.
President Lukashenko stepped out of the Palace as the great front doors were opened by military guards stationed at the Independence Palace. The commander of the First Motorized Company, Sergei Novikovich, stepped out of the front BTR-80 and pulled out his handgun. The guards flanking the Palace doors closed the front doors and pointed their rifles at President Lukashenko from behind. The infantry hidden inside the armored vehicles jumped out and formed a semi-circle around Lukashenko, who was now standing still, his eyes narrowed and his hands up. As Commander Novikovich began reporting the successful capture of the Belarusian President into his radio, two Minsk Metro Police officers fired their issued pistols at the rouge troops, killing two, injuring one, and gravely injuring Novikovich.
The remaining troops still standing turned their rifles and fired upon the police officers, blowing up the police sedan sitting idly behind the officers. Lukashenko took the chance to run, but the two guards standing behind him seized him as he tripped on the front stairs. The December Coup began with the silent assault on Lukashenko's residence, but would end - as General Belokonev knew - with the deaths of a few or many.
With Lukashenko in the hands of the rouge military, General Secretary Alexander Volfovich, general secretary of the State Security Council of Belarus, issued a classified memorandum to Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the Belarusian opposition leader and German-recognized President of Belarus currently in exile in Bayern Kahla. |
[list]TOP SECRET: Issued memorandum to Madam Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, Opposition Leader of Belarus[/list]
[list][sub]Madam Tikhanovskaya,
General Secretary Alexander Volfovich of the State Security Council of the Republic of Belarus would like to inform you that President Alexander Lukashenko has been taken into custody by elements of the First Motorized Company at his official residence in Minsk. It is with great honor and respect that we request you to return to Belarus as the interim President of the Republic. General Secretary Volfovich and an armed convoy will be awaiting your arrival via airplane at Minsk National Airport.
Wishing you safe travels,
General Oleg Belokonev, Armed Forces of Belarus[/sub][/list]

King Felipe VI collapses at Hispanosphere International Conference, rushed to the Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid
| His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain, the current reigning monarch and head of state of the Kingdom of Spain, was addressing international delegates at the Hispanosphere International Conference regarding a Spanish proposal for a Hispanosphere Fund to financially support the construction of new schools, universities, infrastructure and transportation projects, as well as housing when he reportedly collapsed at the podium. The King was then rushed to the Hospital Universitario La Paz, a general tertiary hospital, in Madrid. The Hispanosphere Conference was put on hold for five and a half hours before Princess Leonor, daughter of King Felipe and the successor to the throne, announced that the Conference would continue unimpeded. |
| Reports and rumors of the King's declining health had reached the public in the weeks and months prior, with some reports alleging that the King had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus during the 2020 pandemic and remains affected by the effects of contracting the virus to this day. In past months, the rumors of the King's declining health were bolstered by announcements from the Zarzuela Palace, the official residence of the King and his family, that the King had cancelled multiple high-profile appointments with labor unions, civil rights activists, Republican deputies from Catalonia and Basque, and the Minister of Finance and her aides. These cancelled appointments caused trouble to stir in the already unstable autonomous regions of Catalonia and Basque, where pro-independence or Republican supporters claimed the King was pushing them aside. |
| At 6:31PM local time, 25 minutes after King Felipe VI collapsed at the podium, the monarch was admitted to the Hospital Universitario La Paz for an unspecified heart condition. Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres and Deputy PM Pedro Sanchez departed the Moncloa Palace for the hospital to ensure the health of the King was intact. The Cortes Generales enacted the Kestrel Protocol, a top secret government protocol designed to be executed should the life of the reigning monarch be placed in imminent danger. At 1:32AM local time early the next morning, Prime Minister Torres held a press conference with the Minister of Health and the Director of the Heart Implications Ward at the Hospital Universitario La Paz wherein she stated that 'the King's health is as of now stable, and is expected to recover in the coming weeks'. Although representatives of the King and the royal family expressed that the King's health was in a stable condition, the public remained restless, conjuring rumor after rumor, with some alleging the King was already dead. These rumors were dispelled, however, when the King appeared on public television to address the nation two days after his admittance to the hospital. |
| The position of the reigning monarch and head of state of Spain, however, comes with many responsibilities. The King was slated to meet with 107 different people and 14 different groups ranging from construction companies to labor unions in the coming weeks. King Felipe VI was quite famous for being a hands-on monarch, not willing to delegate work to subordinates. In order to cope with the growing list of responsibilities in the wake of a rapidly expanding crisis in Catalonia and Basque, Princess Leonor was appointed by the Cortes Generales to stand in for her father in most of his duties, except for that of being head of state of the Kingdom of Spain. Her Royal Highness Princess Leonor will also be heading the Hispanosphere International Conference, her first major diplomatic assignment. |

1. Calm.
2. Nigeria does have potential IRL to be a great African power. The problem is their corruption and ethnic/religious divide. They provide West Africa 70% of their energy needs and possesses some of the largest energy deposits in the world in addition to other resources.
3. If he plays his cards right, Nigeria long term could be an actual powerhouse. By 2050, Nigeria will surpass the US to become 3rd most populous country in the world. If he trends his economic development in alignment to this population boost trend, he will be fine.

Just take your development 1 step at a time alright? Looking forward to what you do in Nigeria...but intervention in Iraq is no bueno even if you had the capabilities. You have your own problems of development you should focus on.

ANDF Strike Force Begins Operation معصوب العينين (Blindfold)
The silence of the Indian Ocean brought a sense of calm but also nervousness to the ANDF sailors and pilots who awaited the orders from Rear Admiral Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, Commander of the Arab Naval Defense Force. Standing on the deck of the Dokdo-class amphibious assault ship that has been converted into a smaller aircraft carrier, Rear Admiral Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan would stand with his hands behind his back as he personally wanted to oversee the downfall of General Zadi. As a call of faith and solidarity to avenge the death of innocent Muslims, Rear Admiral Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan would bring his entire crew on the Dokdo ship onto the deck for prayer as they faced Mecca.
After prayer, Rear Admiral Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan would place his commander's hat back onto his head and give a nod to the Captain to begin the assault onto Mahajanga City to give a good morning signal to General Zadi. Upon returning to the observation tower of the Dokdo, Rear Admiral Sheikh Saeed bin Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Nahyan would observe the operations.
From the Dokdo, 5 x F/A-18D McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier-capable, multirole combat jet aircraft would deploy equipped with 1 x AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM-ER) per aircraft (5 total). The 5 aircraft would fly in a V-formation at approximately 1,000 mph at 40,000 feet. Through a digitally modernized integrated C4ISR and enhanced near real-time information gathering network programs to filter big data toward near precision intelligence of the battlefield/battlespace, 2 x F/A-18D McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C aircraft would deploy their AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM-ER) directly to the Mahajanga City legislative building in the center of General Zadi's capital to initiate the operations. After launching their cruise missiles, the 2 x F/A-18D McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C aircraft would activate their 8× AIM-120 AMRAAM for potential anti-air operations if the General possessed aircraft.
The remaining 3 x F/A-18D McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C aircraft would launch their JASSM-ER missiles at rail and telecom infrastructure/facilities to paralyze any potential communication and transportation within Mahajanga Socialist Republic. Meanwhile, the previously deployed 3 x F/A-18D McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C would activate their 4 x AGM-65E laser-guided 136 kg (300 lb) WDU-24/B penetrating blast-fragmentation air-to-surface missiles with the intentions of targeting Zadi's 1st and 3rd Brigades in and around Mahajanga City.
Furthermore, back in Abu Dhabi, Grand Emir Abdullah II would be watching said operations from the bunker/defense intelligence facility underneath the Palace of the Nations. With confirmations of target strikes, Grand Emir Abdullah II would approve for the USAN aircraft within Queen Rania's territory to begin their deployment into Mahajanga airspace to target Zadi's 2nd brigade and reinforce precision targeting of the 1st and 3rd brigades in and around Mahajanga City. 4 x Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft equipped with AGM-88G AARGM-ER air-to-ground missiles and Brimstone air-to-ground missiles would enter Mahajanga airspace at 1,100 mph at 34,000 feet. With direct target coordinations granted to the aircraft, engagement would commence as the Eurofighters targeted Zadi brigade clusters and loose formation units of the 2nd and 1st Brigades of Zadi's military.
All the while, The United Arab Expeditionary Force Regiment (1,000 Houthis) would slowly begin their infiltration of Zadi's Socialist Republic in a loose, guerrilla type formation equipped lightly to traverse long distances but equipped enough to endure firefights. Being as the terrain is very similar to Yemen, the UAEF was comfortable in the battle space. The UAEF would be equipped with the following:
[list][pre]CSR 308 Bolt-Action Precision Rifles
CAR 817 Designated Marksman Rifles
K14 Sniper Rifles
FN FNC Assault Rifles
K15 Light Machine Guns

CENTROAMERICA CONDEMNS COUP IN BELARUS
JANUARY 2025
The Centroamerican Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a stern condemnation of the power transfer and coup that has taken place in Belarus, which has resulted in an invitation to Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to become the Nations new President. Centroamerica has appealed to the United Nations to condemn the event as a whole as it is contradictive to UN memorandums and recommendations on democratic representation and legal governmental practice. The Condemnation comes as Lukashenko was known to be a highly corrupt leader, and thus made many deals with foreign firms to give them preferential access to Belarus. With Centroamerica being a State which wanted to take advantage of that corporate environment it has marked itself as an opponent of this new Regime which is still in the making.
In their appeal the Foreign Minister of Centroamerica, Mr Samuel Santos López, stated the following : "It is the belief and wish of the Centroamerican state that Belarus, rather than continue with this illegal and detrimental action, return itself to the state of the Status Quo where it was able to maintain its own stability for quite some time. This new Government would bring nothing but suffering, instability and lower living conditions for the people of Belarus and undoubtedly lead to decreased relations with States abroad. Centroamerica for one will continue to recognize Alexander Lukashenko as the De Jure leader of Belarus, regardless of the current De Facto state of affairs."

"With the elections coming closer, polls are starting to change drastically, surprisingly, Didier Yves Drogba Tébily, a candidate who was formerly thought to be a very, very minor candidate, has rose to the 2nd most popular candidate in the polls. It seems that the people of the Ivory Coast are starting to warm up enough to more leftist ideologies.
However, another suprise is President Alassanes fall from grace in the polls, now being a far away third place. Jean-Luc Bedie has rose to the top of the polls, but his spot could very easily be taken away by Didier Yves Drogba Tébilys rising poll numbers.
At this point, it is unlikely for Preaident Alassane to actually win this election"
Abidjan Times article on the election.
"We asked 2 of the top candidates on what they think of recent topics that the population of Abidjan thinks are important.
Would you be willing to increase relations with European states?
Tébily: "To ensure the Ivory Coasts rise to modernization and good standard of living, we absolutely must cooperate with European powers and companies, other African powers simply cannot help us as much as Europe can, we can't sacrifice the goal of our people living in a 1st world country just because of a vague Pan-Africanist ideology.
Bedie: "Though I am not completely against working with European powers, we must first work for Pan-Africanism, Africa must work together first, not sell themselves out for the Europeans to handle our affairs!
What is your opinion on the recent coups in Belarus and Iraq?
Tébily: "I am for the recent coup in Belarus, I believe that democracy should've stayed in Belarus, in my opinion Lukashenko should have never even came to power. However, I have no comment on the coup in Iraq."
Bedie: "I do not support coups of any kind even if it's against an 'oppressive regime'."
Are you for or against switching our energy plan completely towards wind and nuclear power?
Tébily: "I am completely for this, The Ivory Coasts future is in green energy, we must be an example to the world of what a successful African country with green energy looks like!
Bedie: "No, this would devastate our economy! We should never switch to green energy!"

Notice how I told you directly to not because it is implausible and even if it was, I would stop him.
