Moskilden Residents Forced to Make Decision

The government is tightening it's grip and affirming it's recent actions taken against the new Communist government in Moskilde, today, by forcing a decision to be made by Moskilden citizens detained by recent actions.

The Unity Party Presidium has enacted measures which will force over 600 Moskilden farang (tourists and foreigners) to choose between abandoning their Moskilden citizenship in exchange for permanent residency in Sinhai, away from the Communist regime and with a chance of attaining Sinese citizenship; or leave Sinhai and return to their homeland, now a nation held by an ambitious, terror-spreading Communist state bent on distorting Moskilden history for it's own benefit.

The Bureau of Loyalty and Culture has issued information pamphlets concerning Moskilde, noting the state as unstable and self-destructive, with 'rabid, vagrant mobs looting and pillaging the wealthy in an attempt to redistribute the land and destroy the personal wealth of those that earned it.' The majority of Moskilden non-residents in Sinhai are tourists from upper-middle to upper classes who are enjoying the life of Sinese resorts which are largely unaffected by the slight economic dip that has occurred over recent days.

The Bureau of Loyalty and Culture expects a significant majority of these Moskildens to choose to stay in Sinhai and refuse return to their homeland. Additionally, the block on all postage to and from Moskilde will remain in place, with mail going to Moskilde returning to sender, and mail from Moskilde being retained by the government in a secure vault until relations with the Communist state soften and civilian airlines and shipping is allowed to travel to the country once more.

SDF Strength in Capital Rises to 90,000

The Sinese Defense Forces have increased their military presence in Sri Rama to 90,000 to compensate for the withdrawal of Sri Raman Police to Sri Rama Island, and with the imposition of martial law and the permissible use of deadly force in the cessation of violent crimes, the crime rate in Sri Rama has dropped to the lowest incidence rate experienced since the founding of the state in 1943.

Overlord Ahremen Arkhan, head of the SDF, is in charge of operations within the capital and has issued statements that reflect her nominal support for the Unity Party. "I support peace within my country," she remarked early Wednesday morning, "and right now, peace is best accomplished by loyalty. Anyone that goes contrary to this will be arrested. These are not the Party's orders, they are mine."

Despite OL Arkhan's orders, civilians within the city have reported an increased rate of missing persons, and several public assemblies, previously permitted by the Party, have been dispersed by Intertel and the SDF and accused of 'conspiring with traitors'. Charges have yet to be made against citizens exercising their right to public protest, but with the disbanding of the National Assembly, the provisional Presidency has yet to officially reform laws that would prohibit such treasonous acts.

SDF Operation in North Sinhai Kills More Than 200

SDF operations continue along the Dai Viet border where former PIP military units and die-hard Communists have bolstered their conflict against the Union in the wake of global events. With two nations having fallen to Communist coups in as many days, the PIP has renewed it's aggressive campaigns against the SDF, who were beginning to hope for a brief respite in the conflict against the former Communist proto-government.

Recent counter-insurgency operations within Sai Yok as well as campaigns along the border have claimed the lives of over 200 PIP-affiliated militants, who inflicted 82 casualties against SDF forces. SDF intelligence forces believe that Dai Viet soldiers may have relaxed their border defense protocols in an attempt to destabilize the Sinese state which remains unaligned with the LFS. Despite Dai Viet's history of combatting Communist insurgencies, it would be naive to assume that Dai Viet would not be interested in seeing a weakened neighbor.

SDF officials have stated that they will continue to prosecute their war against the insurgency with all methods readily available, and that they will 'not allow this war to destabilize the reconstruction of Northern Sinhai'.

The increase of military forces in the capital as well as the continued use of terms such as "conspiring with traitors" and "treasonous acts" to justify the disbanding of the National Assembly and to prevent public protest has the Khalsa Raj extremely concerned.

Sinhai Union Withdraws Application for CoN Membership

The Unity Party has been under criticism by Communist nations within the Council of Nations for it's actions taken against the Yairobi communist government. These criticisms, having occurred concurrently with the application of the Sinhai Union into the CoN, have offended many officials within the Unity Party who feel that the insults denigrated the atmosphere under which the Union would join the CoN.

The Unity Party has stated that they will be willing to work together with the international community in advancing international peace but are, at this time, unwilling to compromise with a body that is not willing to treat all nations equally or otherwise unable call to order delegations which act in a conduct contrary to the purpose of the organization.

"While our lack of membership in the Council of Nations will ultimately mean that we will be unable to have a say on resolutions concerning Sinhai," Unity Party Public Relations Liaison Arun Iyengar stated earlier today, "we do not feel that the Council of Nations maintains any authority or jurisdiction within the Union, any enforcement of Council of Nation resolutions within our borders without our consent would be tantamount to a declaration of war by an official state. I do not believe that the CoN is willing to set the precedent for such actions."

The Unity Party has not yet set aside possibilities for membership as an observer state, but will currently not be participating in the Council of Nations until such time as amends have been made and the Sinhai Union can maintain it's dignity in joining the international organization.
​

 

[Hesperia]

The Secretary-General of the Council of Nations

I lament the decision Sinhai's decision deeply. At the same time, I wish to remind the Unity Party that the Council of Nations is dedicated to the sovereignty and independence of its member states, and that joining the Organization would strengthen the Sinhai Union's independence, not constrain it.

I assure the Sinese Government that the majority of the member states of the Organization voted for its membership, and continue to express my support for, and invitation of, Sinese membership of the Council of Nations.

Signed,

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Haytham al-Mashriqi
Secretary-General of the Council of Nations

 

[Socialist Commonwealth]

Commissariate for Foreign Affairs

Not being a member of the Council of Nations does not mean, that the Sinhai Union won't be held to the same standards of human rights and international law as any other nation. It's actions against Yairobi citizens still constitute a gross violation of their rights and is contrary to international standards of diplomacy and Carentania will not watch idly as the Sinhai Union mistreats these individuals.

Hajr, On Behalf of the Unity Party

We thank you for your support of our application and hope that you should continue to support us in our endeavours to participate in the international community. Hajr has proven itself to be tolerable of other nations, and is a most respectable nation that deserves its position as Secretary-General of the CoN as much as it deserves the praise it has been given by our own diplomats in the Bureau of External Affairs. We hope to work with Hajr in the future, as it's humility has allowed such an esteemed nation to work with other nations as equals.

Sincerely,

Carentania, On Behalf of the Unity Party

Your continued disrespect of out national decisions can be considered nothing less than an irritating attempt to incite our nation. Your grossly misinformed regime refuses to acknowledge facts. These are the fact: Yairobi citizens have been offered one chance to return home or accept Sinese residence. Yairobi corporations have been nationalized and will be re-privatized shortly; neither personnel nor corporate leadership have been in any way affected save for a severance from their Yairobi counterparts. These actions have been committed to pre-empt what we view as imminent nationalization and collectivization of the Yairobi economy in accordance with basic Communist principles; our nation will not allow foreign governments to in any way influence our domestic markets in an adverse way that violates our national sovereignty. Postage to, and from, Yairobi has been frozen; postage en route to Yairobi has been returned to senders while postage from Yairobi will be stored until a time when relations with Yairobi have stabilized. We are considering using proxies to return mail, however we are not willing to put forward the funds to manage this endeavour; we have better activities to put money towards.

Yairobi nationals forfeit their own rights when their Communist regime took control and failed to contact the Unity Party on friendly terms to discuss bilateral relations and the continued functioning of a consulate within Sinhai. We restrained their citizens from returning until proper information could be relayed that would inform them of the new status of their nation.

We cannot help but inform the Carentanian regime that, though they profess their will to act in the defense of Yairobi citizens, they now have no alternative but to commit to bilateral negotiations directly with the Unity Party in order to carry out any actions. Should Carentania wish to meet with Yairobi citizens and view our so-called "sub-standard" conditions, they may do so under Sinese supervision.

Regards,
Arun Iyengar

SDF Takes Sri Rama Island

Despite SDF hesitance to announce success and a refusal of OL Arkhan to make a statement on the matter, early reports from Sri Rama Island suggest a complete SDF victory. While casualties suffered by both Police forces and SDF have yet to be tallied, the Unity Party has announced that bridges and tunnels will be opened tomorrow to allow citizens to return to their jobs.

Whereabouts concerning former President Marjhan Visariya are among top issues to be addressed by the Unity Party, along with various protests from former National Assembly members who are concerned with the recent disbanding of the Assembly and the total control taken by the Presidium to allow for the swift execution of emergency powers. Numerous Citizen Councils have protested the elimination of democratic freedoms in Sinhai, however the Unity Party Presidium has stressed the importance of loyalty as a national virtue.

In accordance with national law, several members of particularly rebellious citizen councils have been arrested by Intertel and will be questioned fully to determine possible connections with communist insurgents or pro-Visariya sentiment.
​

Presidium Enacts Emergency Powers

The Presidium of the Union has elected to utilize emergency powers which will nullify select National Assembly laws determined to be counter-productive to the progress of the Union. The details of the action have not yet been disclosed by the Unity Party, but has ensured the UBN that all measures will be taken to ensure lasting stability within the nation.

SDF Withholds Casualty Figures, Visariya Still Missing

OL Arkhan, head of the SDF, has refused to comment on the SDF's decision to withhold official casualty figures, leaving the Unity Party to gather scattered and inaccurate reports from Sri Raman hospitals. A full investigation is underway, but UBN investigation has shown that casualty rates seem to be far lower than initially expected. The Unity Party has made no official comment on such a possibility, but unnamed officials have stated that "low casualties equal effective operation, if only all wars could be won bloodlessly."

The Unity Party is still searching for Marjhan Visariya, who eyewitnesses have claimed was shot and killed by SDF forces shortly before the SDF ceased operations on the island. OL Arkhan was accused of possibly harboring an enemy of the state by officials within Intertel, but refused to make a detailed comment, stating only that "I do not believe the people who can say that the military would betray the nation understand what loyalty is."

SDF forces continue to maintain martial law in Sri Rama, while SRPD units are reviewed by Internal Intelligence. A growing tension seems to be building between Unity Party officials who are demanding direct control over SDF forces, and OL Arkhan who maintains that she is the prime authority of Sri Rama until a more stable environment has been created.
​

Unity Party Issues Charges Against Traitors

The Unity Party, in collaboration with Intertel, has made over two hundred arrests today against a wide variety of persons which officials have stated are under suspicion of supporting forces hostile to the stability of Sinhai.

The Presidium of the Sinhai Union has stated that the individuals in question are being held for a number of reasons; however information released by SRPD has suggested that Intertel seems to explicitly be targeting police officers in what is likely an attempt to gather information concerning the whereabouts of the former President as well as understand the reasons for the Departments affiliation with Marjhan. Political analysts have hesitantly suggested that the entire Police Department may be purged within the month; and police officers may be preparing for a resistance to this move following their defeat of Sri Rama Island.

SDF Announces Coup

OL Arkhan stated Sunday evening that she would be seizing control of Sinhai from the Sinhai Union's Presidium, and that Sri Rama will continue to remain under martial law. Despite numerous protests from higher ranking Unity party officials, the SDF has released all citizens held under suspicion of treason by the Presidium.

Many Citizen Councils which have been protesting the hardline approach of the Presidium are eagerly anticipating reforms to be instituted by the SDF-led regime which has called itself an "interim solution" and has promised to announce a deadline for when government will be handed over to a wholly civilian institution.

The current violence and instability afflicting the Sinhai Union gives credibility to Vangala's argument that the nation was not ready to join the Council of Nations, with an unclear domestic situation meaning the Sinese people may not be truly represented abroad. We call on all factions involved in the fighting to declare a ceasefire and begin negotiations to prevent further human rights abuses and allow the Sinhai Union to rejoin the international community.

SNDFS Sinks Vangalan Freighter in International Waters

A Vangalan freighter was spotted off the coast of Sinhai early today, presumably smuggling weapons to Communist insurgents still active along the Dai Viet border. Though no evidence was required, the Vangalan freighter refused a cease and desist order and warning shots by the Sinhai vessel, which fired and sank the civilian freighter under jurisdiction of hostis humani generis; which allows a nation to engage targets under the suspicion of piracy or other acts hostile to all governments.

Though the death toll is as of yet unclear, and the cargo vessels crew list was lost in the brief skirmish, thirty-six sailors have been captured and are being detained within the Sinhai Union until official statements have been made by the Vangalan government, and until those few vessels which departed the freighter have been tracked down to determine their purpose just outside Sinhai territorial waters.
​

SDF Declares Marjhan President, Calls for National Assembly Elections

Despite nearly two weeks of internal unrest, the SDF has stopped further conflict by establishing an interim military junta, and is quickly working to restore governance to the former President, Marjhan Visariya, and the National Assembly. The SDF has stated that elements within the Unity Party which represented a bureaucratic plot to seize total power in Sinhai have been terminated, and that control will be given back to the pro-democratic Visariya and a democratically elected National Assembly.

Citizen Councils throughout the nation have cheered at these reports, most notably in Sri Rama where two days of political terror was conducted by Sinhai Internal Intelligence, or Intertel, which arrested numerous people suspected of acting against the interest of 'Old Guard' Unity Party members.

Most notable among those events which occurred during the coup is a brutal massacre conducted by SDF inside Intertel itself, which claimed the lives of the leadership of the counter-intelligence organization and eliminated total Party control over the body.

SDF officials have released full details concerning the capture of Sri Rama Island and Marjhan Visariya, citing a planned assault which utilized a wide variety of non-lethal weaponry, most notably rubber bullets, to re-enact a battle viewed by the upper echelons of the Unity Party. Among those non-lethal casualties was Marjhan Visariya, who is being nursed back to total health after having suffered minor trauma from the attack.

Visariya made a brief statement which was relayed to UBN earlier today that, "Now, truly, the war against the oppression, not only from Communists but from out own fear, is over. A future of a truly citizen-led government awaits."

OL Arkhan Announces UBN to be Privatized Within Week

Overlord Arkhan, who has been criticized several times by UBN over the past week, has declared that the UBN is to be privatized and officially censored, but no longer controlled directly by the state. This transition is expected to take place before the end of the week. UBN will keep you, our readers, informed.

[Serenierre]

The attack on the Vangalan ship is most concerning. We look to the Sinhai government for information as to how they were able to determine the ship was supplying arms.

 

[Khemia]

Belmont, On Behalf of the Sinhai Union,

We would like to assure the esteemed government of Belmont that an investigation is currently underway; however the Vangalan vessel was sighted delivering supplies to smaller craft which moved into Sinhai territorial waters without making contact with port authorities. A cease and desist order was given but was not heeded. The vessel then began to set course away from territorial waters and the SNDFS vessel, which lacked the ability to restrain the freighter, engaged the Vangalan vessel in an attempt to apprehend the offenders. The Vangalan vessel was lost in the process, though a number of Vangalan sailors abandoned ship and were captured. The Vangalans are currently being restrained by military authorities to determine their exact connection with the Vangalan government and PIP terrorists which continue to attack Sinhai. Should no connection be drawn between captured sailors and Vangalan military, they will be transferred to civilian holding facilities. Should no connection be drawn between the vessel flying the Vangalan flag and Vangala itself, then those detainees will be tried as terrorists.

We are currently pursuing those vessels which did escape the SNDFS destroyer in an attempt to determine the content of packages delivered illegally into Sinhai; we will also be conducting a series of dive operations to salvage those packages lost in the destroyed freighter and light craft. Regardless of what was delivered, however, the Vangalan vessel did not use legitimate methods or authorization during the process, and the Sinhai Union holds the freighters' captain responsible.

Sincerely,
Arun Iyengar
Public Relations Liaison

Vangala condemns this outrageous attack on a Vangalan vessel and demands that the Sinhai Union immediately release all the sailors being illegally detained or the People's Republic will take swift and firm action. We also wish to assure the international community claims that Vangala is supporting terrorist movements are completely false and propaganda designed to smear the reputation of the Vangalan nation and Communist Party.

Jizhou, On Behalf of the Sinhai Union

We embrace the solidarity of our Eastern comrades in combat against a greater foe; the foe of communism. The greatest threat to any stable society and true working man, Communism is as much a disease as it is treachery to the very condition of mankind cast in a utopic form. It is Sinhai's fervent wish to eradicate such juvenile beliefs, and look to the international community, as well as Jizhou, to oppose these naive children.

Vangala, On Behalf of the Sinhai Union

The suspected enemies of the Sinhai state were apprehended in international waters under the jurisdiction of hostis humani generis, and as such will be detained for the duration of the investigation into their activities. We are not willing to negotiate their release until an investigation has been completed. A dive team will be operating in the waters Thursday, and Sinhai will allow international observers to monitor the search, as the search will be conducted in international waters and the Sinhai Union reserves no rights to refuse observers. As the Vangalan Communist Party has demanded the release of detained suspects, their association with the Vangalan nation is to be assumed. Therefore, the Vangalan government will be held accountable should the actions of the suspects be determined to be in violation of Sinhai sovereignty.

Keep in touch,

The admittance of a lack of evidence by the Sinhai Union has raised questions in Telora over the legality of this act. The principle of hostis humani generis remains deeply contested in international law, and we call upon the Union to admit international observers to conduct a separate investigation. This will enable a final settling of this dramatic episode.
