Protesters take Royal Palace; Federal Supreme Council passes reforms

RASHEED (ACNA) - Hours after protesters seized the Royal Palace in the capital, the Federal Supreme Council has unanimously voted to pass its first sets of reforms, which has dissolved the National Assembly, and called for new snap elections to appoint new members to the parliament. Once a new parliament has been established, a new constitution will be drafted by its members, and put to vote by a public referendum. In addition, the Council has pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who have been imprisoned over the last ten years, on charges such as defaming the King, democratic activism, and enticing protests.

These moves have met strong opposition from several conservative right wing groups in Abbasid, such as the National Islamic Party, which previously held substantial influence over the politics of Abbasid. It's political power has rapidly diminished, coming under threat from Abbasid's increasingly liberal, cosmopolitan society.

Abbasid grants undocumented residents amnesty

Deira (DBS) - Following pleas by several human rights groups, Abbasid has agreed to grant undocumented residents a one month period of amnesty, which will allow them gain papers to become legal residents of the country. Currently, there are an estimated 1.2 million illegal immigrants in Abbasid, who are unable to access medical services, education, and adequate housing due to their legal status.

Following the end of the amnesty, those who have not verified their status will be repatriated, and will be unable to return for 6 months.

Leader of ISE Insurgent group killed

Khalifji (ACNA) - The leader of the Islamic State of Esdaad (ISE), also know as Al-Sawra ("The Awakening"), has reportedly been killed in an Abbasidi airstrike against suspected terrorist cells in the Esdaadi city of Hahlim. Ilyas Rahat Ali, said to have been between 35-45 years old, has been wanted for several acts of terrorism, including the recent assassination of Sameer Al-Galan, the previous Emir of Khalifji, which is disputed between Abbasid and Esdaad. The news of his death has caused mixed reactions; drawing massive celebrations from Khalifji, while provoking outrage and protests from Al-Sawra controlled Esdaad.

Well I stand corrected you actually did it

y'see, talk and and make speeches and everyone ignores you. Violence is the only thing people appreciate in the big boy panties world. Gets stuff done.

Now go spark a war that will cripple Adonia's energy production and throw the world in disarray already.

You did it

RASHEED (ACNA) - Bergenstein recently marked the election of the traditionalist Weiz Party, which has restored its formerly ousted monarchy. The results drew mixed reactions from Bruellen and Sinope, the leaders of the Althenian coalition that intervened in Bergenstein early last December. However, the situation is turning out much more different in Abbasid.

Public opinion of Bergenstein has hit record lows, with only 1% of Abbasidi approving of Bergenstein, compared to 97% who disapprove, the lowest public perception of Bergenstein in the world. Reports of violence and discrimination against Abbasid's Bergenstein minority have been widespread throughout the Kingdom, as the mutual trust between the two nation's has deteriorated further. The situation has been further complicated by Abbasid's ongoing protests, and the deepening schism in the northern province.

HH King Hamdan set the tone for Bergo-Abbasidi relations in the first few weeks following his coronation as King of Abbasid, challenging the legitimacy of the Bergenstein regime to serve as the leadership of the West Althenian nation. Anti-Bergenstein sentiment reached its peak following the assassination Sheikh Sameer al-Galan, the former Emir of Khalifji, by Bergenstein supported Esdaadi militants. However, new evidence has emerged revealing the scale of Bergenstein's support for Esdaad's separatist movement.

Officials in Al-Reem announced that a leading Al-Sawra terrorist fled Esdaad, and managed to travel through Mendorra, into Abbasid, and was captured by police. In exchange for not being executed, he agreed to reveal confidential information on the cooperation between Bergenstein and Al-Sawra. The full official report is currently held by top ranking officials in the capital, although the government has begun releasing information.

In the leaks, it has come to light that Bergenstein has secretly funded Esdaadi acts of terror against Abbasid for several years, including the 1996 Rasheed Metro bombings, which killed 133 people, and the Royal Abbasidi Flight 291 bombing, which killed all onboard. The shocking 98 page report has outlined the carefully orchestrated attacks, arms sales, military training, and has cast new light on the numerous autocracies committed by Bergenstein's monarchy. Immediately following the leaks the Federal Supreme Council rejected a proposed two state solution presented by Bergenstein, and approved the use of military force against key locations inside the disputed territory, which many see as the beginning of long stalled operations against the Islamist militants.

All remaining relations with Bergenstein have been severed, and an arrest warrant has been issued for the Bergenstein ambassador to Abbasid. The Foreign Ministry of Abbasid has urged all Abbasidi citizens residing in Bergenstein to leave the country immediately, and return to Abbasid.
