Sebastokrator Chrysanthos Samaras calls for Himyari Peace
Cyrene, Pentapolis


His excellency, Chrysanthos Fotios Samaras, Sebastokrator of Cyrene, has issued a call for a peace for the whole of Himyar, especially now with the Holidays fast approaching. The government of Cyrene has issued its yearly report to the nation, which usually brings economic and demographic figures on the year which has passed and since 1975 has expanded to publish some continental figures too, and this year's report has been shocking as the number of victims of political and military violence has reached an all time high, ever since the figures started to be statistically analysed, nearly 70 years ago. This comes in the aftermath of the Tarusan, Frankish and Scanian intervention in Al-Maghrab and Hajr which took place this spring and continued at high intensity in the summer, and now has been overshadowed by the upheaval in the Republic of Central Himyar, which recently has seen the Pelasgian Army deployed there too.

The current year has seen a generalised trend of degradation of state institutions across Himyar, with semi-stable Mandates being disbanded and then invaded by Gallo-Germanian powers, in what the invaders called a stabilising mission, what everyone seen as neo-colonialism, and the replacement of old Hajr al Al-Maghrab, homelands of the Uroduah people and of Islam, turn into the Scanian Anti-State of Himyar, which failed by default thanks to the Polar Divorce and the disbandment of Scanlaw, the Principality of Alexandrette, a Frankish outpost, and the rest of Al-Magrab becoming a Tarusan colony akin to the Noks Free State. The Republic of Central Himyar is now also devastated by the guerrilla movement of the 'Fighting Cranes', so much so that their statehood now stands only on the backs of the Pelasgian soldiers deployed there.

In this environment, the Cyrenaic government has issued its call for peace in Himyar. While normally such calls are typical for the holiday period, the gravity of the situation seems to have made this year's less of a call and more of a warning: "The peoples of Himyar, from the Cyanopians in the south-west, through the Uroduah, and the Azraqi and up to the Carians like us and the Pelasgians, are all proud peoples, which have lived, thrived and at times died in this cradle of humanity long before Gallo-Germania was even populated. While we have always been friendly to our neighbours and to partners from afar, we wish to issue a warning. You are here in Himyar as guests and one must behave. Respect for the land and the people must be paramount, and actions which seek to destroy life and degrade civilisations and economies for the sake of colonialism must not be tolerated. We will follow up the events that take place in the homelands of the Uroduah and in Central Himyar with great care and concern, and if necessary, we will see what the following steps are to be taken, should this trend of national degradation and loss of sovereignty is set to continue. Our goal is to see Himyar at peace, and I know that our brothers from Propontis feel the same, what I hope is that the Tarusans, Scanians and the Franks feel the same. The military operans have ended, now it is the time to rebuild," stated Chrysanthos Samaras, Sebastokrator of the Cyrenaic Empire.

This year, the Cyrenian Sun, the government's aid and charity organisation, has donated more than 150 million Staters in supplies to refugees from Hajr, Al-Maghrab and Central Himyar, with more than 200 million expected to be donated in 2023. Since the war started, about 150,000 people have crossed the Strait of Achilles into Cyrene, with most coming toPeuce and Nea Polis islands. About 25,000 have been distributed to the Hagios Andreas island and a few hundreds have reached Hectorios, old Cyrenian territory now under the banner of the Commonwealth of Prydain.

NATION PREPARES FOR CHRISTMAS: Lights have been put up in most of Cyrene's cities, as the Empire begins the last week's countdown for the start of the holiday season. Because of the very warm climate, it is hard to find a typical Christmas tree, but all sorts of evergreens are decorated, and in the past 30 years, poinsettias have become traditional Christmas decorations too. Expecting a huge increase in transportation demand the next week, OSK, the Cyrenaic Railways Organisation has announced that is supplemented trains with extra carriages while also in some instances, adding more trains. The local airlines have all reported 100% occupancy for their flights in the next two weeks too.

Colonialist provocations in Nea Polis spark outrage across the Empire
Nea Polis, Occupied Territory of Erinia

Outrage has been sparked across the Empire as Manx provocateurs marched on the streets of Nea Polis, the capital of the island of Erinia, a territory which was conquered by Prydain in the late 19th century during the age of colonialism. In the aftermath of a fishing dispute when a Cyrenian and a Manx trawler nearly bumped, and have started fighting, planted colonists in Nea Polis have marched on the streets of the island's main town, flying the black flags of Prydain, and chanting slurs agains Colonel Hatzigiannis, in a complete show of irreverence towards anything that is civilised and as a full slap to the face of any Cyrenian which had hoped that this Christmas can be civil, especially when the calls for peace by his excellency, the Sebastokrator, have been so well received, from Pelasgia to Central Himyar.

The Hatzigiannis Foundation, the biggest thinktank in Cyrenian politics, whose stated mission to to promote the legacy of modernism and progressism of Colonel Hatzigiannis' administration, has issued a strongly worded letter of criticism, condemning the Manx for their continued colonialism on the Island of Eirinia, and for oppressing the native Cyrenians, by transforming them into scapegoats of the societal ills. The Foundation is joined by the Koinoboule, which have both issued condemnation for the description of the Colonel as a mere dictator, completely bashing his image and ignoring his legacy, which has sought to rebuilt, develop and recreate a great empire.

The Silvershirts, the paramilitary wing of the Phalanx Front have already announced marches in the Pentapolis area and Dhekelia, in front of the Manx embassy and consulate. The Carian internet community has already been enflamed, as Cyrenians have already announced that they will start boycotting Manx businesses and have invited Pelasgian, Carian and Aresourans to do the same in solidarity.

After initially preferring to stay away from the event and just calling for de-escalation, the Hiera Palace (headquarters of the government) has decided to organise a press conference and his excellency Chrysanthos Fotios Samaras issued the following statements:

"It is extremely sad to see that some people, instead of waiting for the arrival of Christmas and preparing to meet with the family, go to church and enjoy the holidays, prefer to act like this, provoking us, when they enjoy living on our own land, attack out history and the legacy of our founding father and still think that this is a very sane way of keeping up with both us, the greater Carian world and even for the Cyrenian people they administer. The Manx ambassador has been summoned to Hiera Palace to explain the issues that currently exist in the Erinia Island, and we will stand by and watch, this time our concern transforming into annoyance as we see less and less respect for us and our people from the Manx living in the island. Should this crisis continue, we will change our policy in regards to it and there will be consequences."

INTERNATIONAL ROUTE REESTABLISHED:
OSK, the Cyrenaic Railways Organisation has announced that starting Christmas Eve, it reestablished the international train linking the Cyrenian city of Crocodilopolis to the Pelasgian town of Makri. Historically used more like a commuter train for the border communities from both countries, the train was cancelled after a landslide destroyed a portion of the railway in 2010 and the works to repair it were seen as too expensive and put on hold. After a more than a decade of delays, thanks to the renewed interest and the increase in demand, the train is to be re-established and will start working in just a few days.

The Emperor's Christmas address to the nation
Cyrene, Pentapolis


With the whole nation preparing for Christmas, everyone has turned this evening towards their TV set or radio to hear the Christmas address of his majesty, Emperor Roman V. Christmas is the most important religious holiday in Cyrenaic Orthodoxy, surpassing Easter, which sets the late December holidays apart from the rest of the Christian world. While a far cry from the idealised Winter Wonderlands of Scania, Christmas in Cyrene is very festive, with cities lighten up with decorations of all shapes and people move around the country to visit their families. Carols are sung, people go to church on the evening of the Christmas Eve and then again for Christmas morning, and then enjoy a large meal and sweets. Compared to the rest of the world, gifts aren't given at Christmas, but rather, they are brought by Saint Vassilis (Basil), on the 1st of January on New Years Day.

One of the longest traditions on Christmas Eve is the Imperial Address to the nation, which exists since the modern Empire, from the late 18th century, when historically, the Emperor would address the people coming from the churches to the Imperial palace, holding a speech from a balcony. Modern technology allows the whole nation to hear the address and to come together, irrespective of social standing, in the celebration of Christmas.

"Another year has passed and now, on the Eve of the celebrations of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Iisoús Christós, the Empire stands united and more prosperous than ever in its history. It is not an achievement of the politicians, or even of God, but rather of the people, for God does not help someone who does not help himself first and foremost. This Christmas, as usual, we enjoy ourselves together with the family as we do too at the Imperial Palace, but I ask all Cyrenians to also think of the people less fortunate than them, be them most of the Himyaris, especially people of Al-Maghrab, Hajr, the Noks Free State, Central Himyar, but also brothers of ours who life in our homeland, but under a foreign banner, such as the people of Erinia. Let us all thank God for the bounty we are enjoying at the end of the year, count our blessings, but never forget the hardships of the year, so that we can learn something from them, improve on them and ensure that the next year will be better; at least for our children, if not for us. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and I hope everyone can enjoy it, with their family, be it the one you were born in, or the one you chose, because in the end, it is important in such special moments, to come together with your loved ones," stated his majesty, Emperor Romanos V Argyros-Aiakides.

His majesty's words were echoed today by the Sebastokrator, whose words were less Christmas themed, and closer to the realities of the Zestos Sea dispute, which has been dubbed by now as the Christmas Crisis, part of the larger Erinia Dispute. The Sebastokrator has reiterated his calls for world peace, but also stated that this last escalation represents the entry into the last stage of the Erinia Dispute and it will be sorted very soon, ending 150 years of foreign occupation of the island by a colonial Gallo-Germanian power.

"As much as I called for peace for the whole continent and I was extremely happy and proud to see the call for be answered openly and affirmatively by the authorities of Pelasgia and Central Himyar, it is extremely saddening to see that this important step has been overshadowed by an artificial crisis of a colonial policy which is outdated and obsolete, but still kept alive by a government which tries to keep a strong status quo and a gang of thugs which just want to start conflicts, but also enjoy the oppression of our brothers in Erinia, wanting to keep alive an insane political system. I will say again: I applaud the governments of Pelasgia and Central Himyar for opening up for peace this Christmas, and I commend the Manx government that is so open to cooperating with us, but the recent events are tragic and it shows the realities of colonialism, which is reprehensible and which cannot be tinkered upon. That is why, I make this pledge to the Cyrenian people: In 2023, the Erinia Dispute will finally be solved," stated his excellency, Chrysanthos Fotios Samaras, Sebastokrator and head of government.

We wish to issue this public statement to clarify that we are not a principality, but a commonwealth. We are also not an "outpost" of the Holy Frankish Empire- but a partner. Any questions, comments, or concerns may be addressed to the Foreign Office of the Alexandrette Commonwealth.

President Chrysanthos Fotios Samaras organises end of year work visits
Cyrene, Pentapolis


Comrade president Chrysanthos Fotios Samaras has organised a series of end of year work visits to the biggest and most important corporations around the Pentapolis Area, the whole visit represent a celebration of Cyrenian labour of the current year and the progress made by the Cyrenian people for the Cyrenian people.

The presidential delegation has visited a series of department stores in the city centre, followed by the Kampos shipyards, and the Nea Dafni Rail Works. It has become a tradition for the government to visit a series of companies between Christmas and New Years Eve and pay his respects to the workers for both the Cyrenian League of Communists and also the Cyrenian people at large. It has usually been seen as an extreme favour to a company to be visited by the leaders of the people's government.

Visiting a series of department and grocery stores, comrade President Samaras has ensured that the logistic routes are functional for the New Year Eve's hype, where millions of people will be going to the stores to buy food and drinks to party. In the same day, the president has met with the workers from the Kampos Shipyards and the Nea Dafni Rail Works and has assured them that their companies will be reaching new heights of prosperity and profitability in the upcoming years, as the government plans the retrofitting of the fishing navy and also a series of infrastructure investments.

"It is with great joy that I miss and discuss with our comrade workers, whose labour ensures that the people of Cyrene can enjoy the good life, from quality, diverse foodstuffs, to other goods, which ensure that our nation is emancipated from colonialism, be it classical or economical. The end of the year brings the People's Republic closer to our party's promise to offer prosperity to the people," stated the President.
