DEADLY ARSON ATTACKS IN PUÁNTENUÁ LEAVES DOZENS DEAD
Puántenuá's immigrant communities are left devastated after a cruel series of deliberate fires that targeted their businesses and homes.
OUTRAGE has been widely felt across the fair lands of Cathiopa following a horrendous set of fire attacks against immigrants residing in the great port-city of Puántenuá. Officers of the National Watch were alerted to the acts of arson in the early hours of the morning and struggled for quite some time to end the inferno that has claimed at least a dozen lives, although the gruesome process of body counting has not yet concluded. According to Watchmen, the perpetrators unashamedly focused on the homes and livelihoods of these poor peoples. Community leaders have urged those with any relevant information to exhibit basic human decency and inform the authorities immediately to allow for the swift capture of these criminals.
IT was Puántenuá's ‘Other Himyari’ community that suffered most from last night's atrocities. Originally from Andaluz and the Frescanian territory of Bitumtinia, the majority are full citizens, their forefathers having exploited the unamended ‘Law of Return’ in the 19th century to begin new lives in Cathiopia. Many are small tradesmen, being purveyors of both exotic and domestic goods. Consuming Cathiopians speak highly of their products, and readily recommend their purchase.
SUSPECTS have already been announced by the National Watch. Commandant-General Luwí Sasu-Ngesu informed the press he believed militant socialists to be behind the crimes, as the arsonists targeted the communities' commercial activities. Men under his command have acted swiftly, and taken several Trade Unionists and self-proclaimed ‘Revolutionaries’ into custody.
OTHERS see a different force behind the arson attacks. Junior Councillor Manwele Kendi from the Democratic Party, who represents Lutété constituency near Puántenuá, blames the rhetoric of Nativist agitators in movements like the Children of Himyar and Pan-Himyarist Congress. The Councillor accuses such organisations of fostering an atmosphere of intolerance, and has urged for an investigation into their activities. Members of both the Children of Himyar and the Pan-Himyarist Congress have previously advocated for a black-only immigration policy, with a minority even demanding the repatriation of all non-black residents to their original homeland.
MEANWHILE some in the affected communities privately blame their new neighbours. Internal migrants, from within Cathiopia itself, have flocked to Puántenuá and other cities in search of employment and security, moving in great herds from the village to the modern metropolis. Lacking the necessary authentication and appropriate skills, many now find themselves idle and destitute, much to the consternation of local residents, who now are demanding their removal, peaceful or forcible.
COMMANDANT-GENERAL Luwí Sasu-Ngesu has promised REPUBILIKA newspaper to pursue all possible avenues of investigation, even if they do reveal some uncomfortable truths about demographic or political changes in our Republic.
