Failure of Carentanian CoN-policy weakens Commissars position.
AP Rijeka

Following the defeat of Carentania in the runoff elections for the Security Council, criticism of Commissar for Foreign Affairs Mejics policy regarding the Council of Nations have grown within the nation. While the Commissar himself officially gratulated his Anbati competition on their election, many Carentanians perceive that the outcome of the election reflects strong anti-communist sentiment. "It is no coincidence that the only issue on which all major alliances could agree was, to prevent a Carentanian seat in the Security Council," an editorial in the Rijeka Daily, one of Carentanias major newspapers read.

Under Commissar Dusan Mejic, the foreign policies of a Carentania that decided to take a more active stance on the global stage, largely focussed on the Council of Nations and increasing Carentanian influence within the framework of the CoN. Carentania aimed not only for a seat in the Security Council, but also made a strong campaign for being part of the peacekeeping mission to Batavie and tried to adress the actions of the Sinhai Union that were directed against the newly socialist state of Yairobi. The defeat in the elections, the insistance of several states to exclude Carentania from the peacekeeping mission and the eerie silence of the council over the issue of Sinhaiese actions against Yairobi citizens have caused a general backlash against Mejics policies within the Carentanian population.

Especially rumours that many of those votes that went for Carentania in the Security Council elections had been 'bought' through backdoor deals with several nations prompted criticism. One of these deals is believed to have resulted in Carentanias support for the International Monetary Agency, a resolution brought forward by Danzig. The banking city's support for Carentanias candidacy has raised suspicions and many within Carentania feel that, as the Sisak Gazette put it: "we have paid too expensive a price for an unsuccesful candidacy."

An attempt to impeach Commissar Mejic, however, is expected not to succeed. Under the Carentanian constitution, Commissars are only granted with an imperative mandate and thus can be removed from office whenever a majority of the Workers' Council supports the measure. This has never been the case in Carentanias history and it is exected that Carentanias membership in the CoN will rather be adressed in the next All-Workers Congress, in June.

Sinese Military Begins Assault of Sri Rama Island
AP International

Despite being refused access to film or record events unfolding on Sri Rama, eye witnesses have reported gunfire and increased military activity and several recordings have been made of SDF mechanized units crossing bridges and tunnels to gain access to Sri Rama Island.

The Island has been fortified by Sri Rama Police, and remains a stronghold for the former Sinese President who has broken away from the Sinese Unity Party and gained the allegiance of the police in the capital. The capital has been under martial law for several days, with Sinese Defense Force troop commitment having inflated to close to one hundred thousand soldiers; nearly a tenth of the maximum SDF force.

SDF OL Arkhan has refused to comment on the offensive against the Island, and will not allow media personnel of any source, even national media, to access the island, citing intense urban combat situations as a danger to the lives of reporters. Arkhan has promised that this action will come to a close before Saturday night, and that operations will be conducted throughout the night to ensure that this deadline is met.

Rebels on outskirts of capital as top officials flee
AP International

Automatic gunfire and heavy explosions shook the Wazi capital Saturday as Government and rebels force battled on the outskirts of Ijad for the first time. In a statement released on its website, the Tanzim said it was in control of three neighborhoods in Ijad's predominantly Arab southern suburbs and that it was meeting "light" resistance from members of government's elite Islamic Revolutionary Special Forces, though several army officials have disputed this account and say the army was still "firmly" in control of the situation.

Eyewitnesses in eastern Ijad also report heavy fighting in the area as well, suggesting that fighters from a coalition of Sunni Islamists have also reached the capital.

In the city, the army and security forces could be seen setting up checkpoints leading to the Jbail District, a heavily fortified district that houses many of the government institutions, including parliament and the offices of Wazistan's supreme leader Ayatollah Mahmoud Esfandiari.

With the fall of the capital now likely, AP sources say dozens of government and ruling party officials have reportedly begun to flee the capital. Late Friday, an air security official speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed that Assembly of Experts chairman Ayatollah Kazem Hashmei, a close ally of Esfandiari, had fled north to the Fars Peninsula, a stronghold for the country's Shiite Persian community.

The head of the ruling Revolutionary Democratic Party has also reportedly fled to the north.

The Republic of Anbat expresses its continued concern over the developing and escalating Wazi crisis. While in full belief that the present regime in Ijad possesses no legitimacy from which to draw on as a justification for its rule, the Republic also believes that the continuing crisis could possess an even greater threat to regional stability if the exchange of power towards more legitimate rule will become chaotic.

Wazi Christian leader warns of chaos as rebel converge on Ijad
AP International

As rebel forces rapidly push into Ijad from the south and east, a prominent Christian rebel leader warned Sunday that the country could slip new phase of turmoil if opposition forces fail to unite behind a "common political agenda." In south Ijad, a stronghold of the city's Sunni Arab population, furious fighting has been reported between government force and the Tanzim, though a foreign journalist on the scene has said it appears that the rebels have gained the upper hand in the last 24 hours. In the eastern sector of the city, militants from the Islamist Asnar al-Mashadi are reported to have seized a security compound and district headquarters of the ruling RDP, though this could not be confirmed.

The AP's correspondent in Ijad, James Garner, says it appears that the government is slowly starting to lose control of the streets and that the flight of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mahmoud Esfandiari was "imminent."

Celebrations have already been reported in several areas of the capital.

However, speaking to the AP from Khalde by telephone, Christian rebel leader Elias Chamoun suggests that the celebrations were premature, saying the rebel forces moving towards the capital had no "ground plan" for securing the peace when the Ayatollah's government falls. Chamoun, who leads the Holy Cross Patriotic Party that has largely crushed government forces in predominantly Christian west, says he was concerned that the Tanzim was moving to hastily to take the capital.

"They has been no communication from them. They have largely acted without consulting any of us. This feeds mistrust within the alliance and will only lead to further troubles down the road," Chamoun said.

Kurdish rebel leaders have expressed similar concern along.

Analysts have said conflicting interests and ideological differences has fractured the rebel alliance and could fan further instability if the government falls. The concerns have prompted political opposition leaders, who have stayed on the sidelines for much of the conflict, to step up their public presence in a bid to fill the likely political vacuum.

Opposition leader Jamal Bishara, the revered figurehead of Wazistan's reform movement, is widely seen as the only figure who could unite the fractured opposition. However, his whereabouts are unknown after a regime court sentenced him to death earlier this year, sparking the unrest.

Plane Crash Kills 18, including 6 Members of National Rugby Team, 59 Injured

AP Fond du Loc

18 are dead after an aircraft returning from Aubagne to Fond du Loc made an emergency landing on Highway 12 outside Fond du Loc. The aircraft was able to raise the tower in Fond du Loc to alert them it was having mechanical issues about 30 minutes before the crash. There was no further communication from the aircraft according to inside sources.

As the aircraft descended and approached for a landing, an observant tractor-trailer driver stopped traffic on the 5 west-bound lanes. The aircraft struck a concrete divider when it burst into flames. There were 93 people on board including the pilots. Among those killed were Henri Praud, Nicholas Neveu, Andre Ninard, Louis Berrtrand, Raphael Pernaton, and team captain Phillipe Saint Louis.

The Royal Navy has been ordered to handle the initial investigation due to the crash's proximately to a Naval Air Station. Marquette maintains no agency directly responsible for investigating transportation accidents.

The aircraft is owned by the government of Aubagne and is one of two which shuttle daily between Marquette and the island.

Talemantine nationalists riot in city of Sisak
AP Rijeka

As tensions between the Talemantine Empire and Carentania increase ever steadily, Talemantine groups within the Workers' Republic become more vocal about their demands. While the majority and more moderate groups call for peace between the two Himyarite nations, radical nationalist factions demand swift action by the Empire and insist that the Haemian Peninsula, which makes up the entire Carentanian territory, rightfully belongs to the Empire. Groups such as the "Order of Emperor Horace" consider the Carentanians "slavic invaders" and "Sarmatian aliens".

These groups, estimated to be no more than a few hundred Carentanian citizens, support an invasion by the Talemantine Empire and wish for a swift return of Carentanian land into Talemantine hands. Indeed, many consider themselves on the forefront of the battle and militant actions are widespread amongst the Talemantine nationalists. Their own numerical weakness is acknowledged, but explained as consequence of "centuries of violence by the Sarmatian aggressors, displacing millions of proud Talemantine citizens." Attacks by Talemantine nationalist groups were somewhat common in the past, but neglected by Carentanian authorities who consider Mezhist, pan-slavic nationalism, a bigger threat.

However, the prospect of war between the Workers' Republic and its southern neighbour have sparked a new wave of activity amongst Talemantine nationalists, culminating in a large pro-war rally in Sisak, which was attended by about 500 people as Carentanian authorities claimed. The organizators spoke of 2500. The rally quickly devolved into rioting in the urban center of Carentanias third-biggest city, as fights between Talemantine nationalists and opponents broke loose. Storefronts were smashed, socialist symbols dismantled and a bus set on fire.

Carentania has no regular police force. Its founders, often subject to police violence, placed their trust in civil courage and direct intervention by citizens. This has been cited as main reason a comparatively small protest could go out of hand that quickly. The rioting eventually was put to a halt as the Commissar for Inner Security ordered special forces to intervene and restore order. Specially trained police forces, the only de facto police units in Carentania, can only operate when ordered to by a local council or the Commissar for Inner Security.

Hospitals counted up to 150 injured, most of them however only with minor injuries. Many of them tried to intervene against the Talemantine nationalists. The protestors, however, claimed they were being harassed by organized socialist groups, which sparked the riots in the first place.

Wazi opposition leader Bishara freed from prison
AP Ijad

Wazistan's most prominent opposition leader Jamal Bishara was freed from the notorious Katamek Prison by Tanzim militants Tuesday, a move likely to be welcomed by opposition parties and international experts seeking to restore stability to the war-ravaged country after months of unrest. While looking slightly thinner and gaunt, Bishara smiled and waved to thousands of cheering supporters that had gathered outside the prison as he walked out of the prison compound with his eldest daughter, Eliza.

Bishara's popularity crosses ethnic and religious lines

At his Ijad home, Bishara hosted tribal and political leaders that had come to greet him from his home Ujaz province. A family spokesman said that Bishara would likely make a brief statement tomorrow before traveling abroad for medical treatment.

The release comes as the opposition attempts to fill the power vacuum wobbled Tuesday after heavy clashes between rival militants in western Ijad. According to eyewitness reports, the fighting broke out between the Tanzim and the Christian Holy Cross Patriotic Party militia after Tanzim gunmen came to arrest the head of a prominent Christian family reported to have supported the country's Shiite-dominated government.

In Gaza, opposition figure and Bishara ally Payan Kasravi called Bishara's release "welcomed news" and called on armed groups currently in control of much of the country to "refrain from actions that could lead to new bloodshed."

Bishara's release will likely be welcomed by opposition parties and international diplomats wary of working with the nationalist Tanzim and other armed groups. Analysts see Bishara, who heads of the country's largest bloc of reformist political parties, the Wazi People's Democratic Organization, as the only figure who can bring about reconciliation among the country's different ethnic and religious groups, which many believe will be key for reconstruction efforts.

Carentania Dispatches Corvettes To Sinhai
AP Rijeka

The Workers' Republics' Commissariate for Defence announced today it would dispatch a group of three corvettes to international waters near the Sinhai Union. These ships, which are considered amongst the most modern of the Revolutionary Navy, will be tasked with protecting the place where forces of the Sinhai Union have sunk a Vangalan freighter from the announced salvaging operations of the Sinhai Union. According to the Carentanian Commissar for Defence, the ships will stay away from national Sinhai waters and not interfere with the countries sovereignity.

Carentania views the sinking of the ships an illegal and terrorist act by the Sinhai Union and accusations levied against Vangala of supporting guerilla forces as groundless. According to the Carentanian authorities, the wreckage is Vangalan property and the Revolutionary Navy will protect it from theft by the Sinhai Union. The Carentanian Commissars Assembly furthermore called upon the Sinhai Union to immediately release those detained in the attack on the Vangalan ship.

The Sinhai Union has admitted that the Vangalan ship was in international waters during its sinking, but insists it had every right to do so as the ship did not reply to their signals. Its government furthermore cited "hostis humani generis".
"This sets a dangerous precedent," the Carentanian Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Dusan Mejic, commented. "The Sinhai Union applies outdated and pre-modern concepts to waters outside of their sovereign territories. It arrests foreign citizens that have never entered their territory and holds them subject to show-trials. They furthermore engage ships of sovereign nations, destroy them and accept the death of their sailors. This all they do purely out of ani-communist spite. This is utterly condemnable."

Many however believe that Carentanias involvement in the crisis will remain restrained, due to the countries tensions with its southern neighbour.

Sunk Vangalan ship was 'scientific vessel'
AP International

The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of Vangala has claimed the Vangalan ship that was attacked and sunk by the Sinhai Naval Defence Force was a 'scientific vessel' monitoring the migration patterns of marine wildlife. This contradicts allegations by the Sinese government it was a freighter transporting weapons for the People's Independence Party, a left-wing guerilla movement active in the Sinhai Union.

Several nations have also accused Vangala of supporting insurgent movements, other prominent examples being Ratomkira, the Oikawan Empire and its allied statelets. Security analysts say Vangala's poorly-equipped conventional forces and lack of nuclear deterrent has meant it has resorted to unconventional means to help guarantee national security and further its aims abroad.

However, the claims by the Vangalan Ministry of Science and Technology will already add to the growing controversy surrounding the incident, with the Sinhai Union admitting the Vangalan ship was in international waters and possessing no evidence to support its accusations. The Sinhai Union continues to defend its use of force, which has resulted in the ship's destruction and the death of several sailors. The Sinhai Defence Force has also detained surviving sailors.

Vangala has demanded the immediate and unconditional release of survivors and according to sources inside the Ministry of External Affairs, is also considering demanding compensation for the lost ship and families of the killed sailors. The Vangalan Representative to the Council of Nations is also expected to initiate a discussion in the General Assembly about an international reponse imminently.

Carentania has already dispatched three corvettes to protect the shipwreck and prevent the Sinhai Union from sending diving teams and many expect Vangala will also send warships to secure the wreckage. Tensions between the Communist bloc and the Sinhai Union were already running high, with Vangala and Carentania actively opposing Sinese membership in the Council of Nations and one slight miscalculation could lead to further lives being lost.

Associated Press, On Behalf of the Sinhai Union

We have found a recent article published by the Associated Press to be an offensive, and biased, affront to Sinhai politics which has not adequately represented the Sinese position or claims on matters. We request to review the authors sources and demand that the editors of future articles regarding the Sinhai Union are more cautious and fair. Should the Sinhai Union continue to be represented unfairly in the AP, then the Sinhai Union will consider revoking AP reporting licenses within Sinhai and look for a closer relationship with other media organizations, such as Reuters.

Sincerely,

The Associated Press prides itself on its impartial reporting of events across Europe and apologises for any offence that may have been caused. However, in the recent article mentioned, our journalists were keen to stress that the claims of the Sinhai Union were different to that of the People's Republic of Vangala, but with little evidence to support Sinese claims we could not report them as fact.

Government intervention in sectarian disputes higlights a change in Anbati religious policy
AP Phezzan

Sectarian tensions in Anbat's Muslim-dominated Governorate of Aziz, where recent weeks have been marked by violent retaliatory incidents between members of the area's Christian and Muslim communities. The killing of a Protestant priest outside on Good Friday and subsequent retaliatory killings by suspected Christian paramilitaries have been followed by a government intervention far more strict than what has been seen in previous such occurences.

In the aftermath of the killings Lieutenant General Yusar Madani, Commander of the Anbati Special Military District of Aziz and Subay which oversees the activities of the Republican Army and the Republican Police in the region, has authorized the deployment of additional troops and policemen in the region and the imposing of special security measures for the time being. Lieutenant General Madani also ordered a special investigation involving the Republican Police and the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security to catch those responsible for what Madani described as "agitation towards sectarian and political unrest", promising that they would be punished to the fullest extent of the law and "treated as terrorists".

Islamist militants and militant sympathizers in the region, together with activists of the proscribed Islamic Brotherhood, have been identified as culprits. However, government forces are also said to be investigating activities within the local Civil Defense Groups and their role in retaliatory killings that have recently targeted Islamic clerics and community leaders. Phezzan has kept a low profile on the latter part of the sectarian crackdown, ostensibly to avoid alienating conservative Christians who form a major base of support for the Anbati government. Though the agitators of recent unrest on both sides remain at large, the government has pledged to pursue them until their capture.

The change in attitude towards anti-Muslim violence is said by some to reflect a new shift of priorities for the Phezzan government. Since the signing of an alliance with Anbat's neighboring country of Hajr the Phezzan government has made increasing efforts to emphasize the role of Arab unity and Arabic identity in Anbati policy, and this was recently cemented with the ruling National Progress Party's adoption of a "Program of Arab Identity" as part of its political platform. Thus the recent alliance with Hajr may have encouraged Phezzan to increase the role of nonsectarian Arab nationalism in its policy, necessitating a reining in of the more radical elements in the government security forces and government-backed paramilitary forces. However, the traditional Christian elite in power is still unlikely to relinquish its privileges in favor of greater democracy and inclusiviness, so such developments might at best see slightly greater accommodation towards interests of the Muslim populace.

EDF FINANCE MINISTERS AGREE ON FORMING INTERNATIONAL BANK​

Following lower-level talks between the EDF ministries of finance, the finance ministers of all nations with a seat on the council, which also included Belmont as the EDF’s recent addition to the associate member fold, have agreed on forming an international bank to facilitate the management of monetary and finance market issues. A spokesman for the Secretary General explained, “The core members of the European Defense Federation thereby acknowledge the issues of the financial and monetary markets have become more difficult and complicated than before.”
The bank, which will be called Bank für europäischen Zahlungsausgleich – Bank of European Settlements (BEZ), will have its headquarters in Nuremberg, while two branch offices will be opened in Radilo and Mayaland. According to the stipulations of the agreement on the founding of the bank, the membership is open to any willing state’s central bank and/or monetary authority, provided the applicant is invited by a majority vote of the general assembly of shareholders. Each member-states’ central bank will have to purchase 200k shares à 5000 Taler at minimum, but may acquire more. The registered capital of the BEZ is set at 4,000,000 shares à 5000 Taler, which equals 20bn Taler. Thus each subsequently joining state will contribute 1bn Taler capital surplus, at least.
The founding members’ shares in the registered capital are as following:

Belmont = 4bn Taler
Eiffelland = 3bn Taler
Franken = 4bn Taler
Guiana = 1.5bn Taler
Lorraine = 2.0bn Taler
Mayaland = 4bn Taler
Montelimar = 4bn Taler
Radilo = 3.5bn Taler
Wiese = 3.25bn Taler

Total = 29.25bn Taler ~ 23.4bn Euro
(9.25bn surplus above minimum capitalization)

Legally the Bank für europäischen Zahlungsausgleich will operate as a special-form cooperative under Franconian private law (eingetragene Genossenschaft). This means the cooperative members, i.e. the central banks, have one vote each. This is regardless of EDF membership, as especially emphasized in the company founding charter. Its three top bodies will be the general assembly (shareholders), the board of supervisors (elected by the general assembly for three years) and the management board (hired and/or fired by the supervisors). The designated chairman of the board of supervisors is the head of the Guianan national bank, George Thurgood, whereas the candidates for the bank’s general director and his directors are kept quite secret.

The first state apart from the alliance's very core to join this bank after its set up will be the Grand Duchy of Aquitania, which is in loose association with the EDF as a third tier member under the current membership system.

Wazi opposition leader suggests peacekeeping force may be necessary
AP International

A top reformist official and ally of opposition leader Jamal Bishara expressed concern over the abilities of armed groups, which are in control of much of the country, to provide the necessary security for the country's reconstruction efforts, the first sign that opposition leaders may be warming to an international peacekeeping force. In an open letter to members of the WPDO's executive committee, Payan Kasravi stressed the "political and historical realities" that would hamper any form of peacekeeping from armed groups, including mistrust between the Arab-dominated Tanzim and other ethnic and religious militias.

Kasravi doubts ability of armed groups to secure the country

Kasravi, the WPDO's vice chairman and top Shiite, went on to urge the executive committee to commit itself to endorsing all efforts to enforce a peacekeeping mandate "where it may come from."

Opposition leaders have long expressed reservations of the ability of the Tanzim and other groups to provide large-scale peacekeeping support. Analysts have warned that ideological and political differences between the armed groups would like make cooperation for a peacekeeping mission "extremely difficult." However, concerns on whether the Tanzim and others would accept an international force have prompted politicians to act with caution, less the risk a potential revolt.

For their part, Kurdish leaders have warn they would not accept a peacekeeping force in the areas. In northern Wazistan, Persian leaders have warned they would also oppose the deployment of peacekeepers into the areas, saying such a force would only serve as a proxy army for the Hajri government.

While large-scale fighting between the military and militia groups has subsided, CN diplomats say that low-level fighting has continue between rival tribes and clans as both sides jockey for power. Also, a top CN Food and Agriculture official issued a report warning that social unrest in Wazistan, a largely impoverished country, was a real possibility after food prices have soared in recent weeks due to borders being closed to commerce.

De Jonghe Emphasises Importance of Batavian-Vangalan Relations
AP, Vlaanderen

Batavian Prime Minister Alex de Jonghe of the Batavian Social Democrats emphasised today at a press conference the importance of Batavian-Vangalan relations, which have in recent months been lower on the priority list of the Foreign Ministry. Building a reputation as a 'jet-setter', Mr De Jonghe has flown over much of Northern Europe since his election to office in March.

Responding to a comment about his frequent travel, he said that, 'Yes, I hope that by the end of April I will have enough frequent flyer points to earn a ticket to Kilkila!'

The Foreign Ministry has meanwhile been in contact with its counterparts in Vangala to set up a visit. 'The next available time that the Griffin has for a long-haul to the Far East, the Prime Minister will be on it.' commented the PM's travel secretary referring to the government 747 jumbo jet.

During the communist regime era, relations between Vangala and Batavië were strong with heavy trade between the two countries. That trade continues and is even set to increase, but political solidarity is uncertain with the regime change in Vlaanderen.

Mr De Jonghe has recently returned from Franken and if an acceptable charter for the creation of the Northern Council is presented, he will need to travel to Götköping, Suionia, for the signature ceremony.

Jizhou Counter-Insurgency Kills Hundreds, Sources Say
AP International

Local sources from Hexi and Guanghe provinces in the partially-recognized Republic of Jizhou have reported widespread looting and death in the wake of Premier Li Yuying's announced "Aid Grandpa Zhang and Defeat Terrorism Campaign" to root out communist insurgencies in the west and north, near the Ratomkira and Kokuryuko borders respectively. Jizhou's Ministry of Information ordered total press blackouts for both provinces last Tuesday, following the announcement of President Zhang Bowen's hospitalization, making reports impossible to confirm.

Reports trickling in from local journalists indicate high death tolls and tactics consistent with a terror campaign. Three sources operating out of Chongbin, the capital of Guanghe Province, reported the Republic of Jizhou Army has deployed so-called "high temperature" units, equipped with flamethrowers and napalm bombs. Such weapons have not been used in Jizhou since the Great War.

The Jizhou's Central Military Committee insists that the campaign has employed only high-tech precision weapons that target known insurgent strongholds and enemy combatants. Independent journalists do not agree.

Sinese Citizens Attacks Humanitarian Aid Camp
AP International

Sinese citizens today attacked a joint humanitarian aid camp, a project between both the Khalistani and Sinese governments to assist the impoverished in recovering from decades of Communist repression and devastating economic policies. Sinese citizens in Sai Yok have grown increasingly violent in the face of Communist insurgency, and view humanitarian camps in Northern Sinhai as enabling institutions which allow would-be Communist sympathizers to redirect funds otherwise spent on necessities such as food and water, giving their otherwise subsistent living money to Communist insurgents. Several leading citizen leaders have even pointed out that humanitarian aid camps have no methods of distinguishing between the average resident and the communist insurgent, and may very well be supplying insurgents with medical supplies and rations.

Citizen attacks on Khalistani-Sinhai Humanitarian Camps have prompted investigations into not only the validity of citizen claims, but also investigation into the perpetrators of the attack, which claimed no lives but has disabled at least two camps capacity to deliver medical supplies to poverty-struck residents. The Unity Party is currently considering suspending humanitarian relief in the area until stability is restored, recognizing the fact that continued attacks on the camps will likely damage relations with Khalistan.

Several National Assemblymen within the Sinhai Union have called for Sinhai to sever connections with Khalistan, calling the government complacent in it's apathy towards Communists. Most notable among these politicians is Sayan Jaa, who has advocated a policy of continued action against Communists and collaborators. President Marjhan Visariya, however, has stated that it would be irrational to believe that all problems can be solved alone, and that regional solidarity is required to prevail.
